  • Marvin Mims WR | DEN

    Broncos' Marvin Mims: Unlikely to play Sunday

    Mims (hamstring), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Chargers, is not expected to play, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Mims opened Week 17 prep as a full practice participant, but he appeared to suffer the hamstring injury Thursday, as he was a limited participant for that session. He then sat out Friday's session entirely before being listed as questionable heading into the weekend, but the Broncos don't seem to be counting on the rookie receiver being available for Sunday. His status will be clarified when Denver releases its inactive list 90 minutes prior to the game's 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff, but if Mims is sidelined, the Broncos would likely turn to Brandon Johnson and Lil'Jordan Humphrey to share the No. 2 receiver role behind Jerry Jeudy (illness), as Courtland Sutton is out with a concussion.

  • Brandin Cooks WR | BUF

    Cowboys' Brandin Cooks: Significant invovlement in offense

    Cooks recorded five receptions on eight targets for 60 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's 20-19 win over the Lions.

    Cooks managed his highest target total since Week 10 and delivered one of his better performances of the season. He managed a pair of 21-yard receptions to account for most of his production, and he capped his evening off with an eight-yard touchdown catch that helped put the Cowboys up for good. Cooks is likely to continue to see inconsistent volume throughout the final week of the regular season and into the postseason, but he's shown the ability to deliver when called upon.

  • CeeDee Lamb WR | DAL

    Cowboys' CeeDee Lamb: Career-high 227 yards

    Lamb recorded 13 catches on 17 targets for 227 yards and one touchdown in Saturday's 20-19 win over the Lions. He also lost a fumble.

    The Lions picked off Lamb's first target, which was a rare disappointing moment throughout his performance on the night. One possession later, he beat the Detroit secondary deep for a 92-yard touchdown on the way to a career-best 227-yard performance. Lamb also chipped in other big plays of 31 and 22 yards, marking the first time he's recorded three receptions of at least 20 yards since Week 10. He also set the Cowboys' single-season record for both receptions (122) and yards (1,651) with the performance.

  • Lions' Amon-Ra St. Brown: Solid production in loss

    St. Brown secured six of eight targets for 90 yards and a touchdown and rushed once for 11 yards in the Lions' 20-19 loss to the Cowboys on Saturday night.

    St. Brown led the Lions in receiving yards and checked in second to Sam LaPorta in both receptions and targets. The third-year pro found the end zone from 11 yards out with 23 seconds remaining to put the Lions within a point at the time. St. Brown now has a career-high nine touchdowns on the campaign and also crossed the 1,300-yard threshold with Saturday's production, which marked his third straight game with at least 90 receiving yards and a score. St. Brown and the Lions wrap up the regular season at home against the Vikings on Sunday, Jan. 7.

  • Lions' Jameson Williams: Injures ankle Saturday

    Williams exited Saturday's game at Dallas due to ankle injury.

    Williams made a splash play early in the fourth quarter, connecting with quarterback Jared Goff for a 63-yard grab. Thereafter, Williams went to the sideline and eventually the locker room, per Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site, from where he was deemed questionable to return. If he isn't able to do so, Williams will finish Week 17 with two catches (on three targets) for 69 yards and one carry for six yards.

  • Zay Flowers WR | BAL

    Ravens' Zay Flowers: Slated to suit up Sunday

    Flowers (calf) is in line to play Sunday against the Dolphins, Jordan Schultz of BleacherReport.com reports.

    Flowers has been bothered by a variety of injuries this season, but he also hasn't missed a game through Week 16. This week, he didn't practice until Friday, when he was limited, due to a calf injury and then entered the weekend as questionable. Flowers' status will be confirmed, one way or another, about 90 minutes before Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff.

  • Dan Chisena WR | CAR

    Cardinals' Dan Chisena: Elevated to active roster

    The Cardinals elevated Chisena from their practice squad to their active roster Saturday, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

    Chisena has gotten into two games for Arizona this season, logging one offensive snap and 27 special-teams snaps without recording any stats. The 26-year-old has played in 29 total games over his NFL career -- the first three seasons of which were spent with Minnesota -- but has tallied just 14 offensive snaps in total while working primarily on special teams. He figures to have a similar role Sunday in Philadelphia.

  • Bears' Collin Johnson: Joins active roster

    The Bears elevated Johnson to their active roster Saturday.

    Johnson has been elevated for the second consecutive week and he'll add some extra depth to a Chicago wide receiver room that will be without Darnell Mooney (concussion) on Sunday. Chicago has now used all three of Johnson's elevations, which means the team must sign him to its 53-man roster if he's needed in Week 18.

  • Lucky Jackson WR | DET

    Vikings' Lucky Jackson: Elevated for second straight week

    The Vikings elevated Jackson to their active roster from their practice squad Saturday.

    Jackson's elevation is a consequence of Jordan Addison (ankle) being listed as questionable for Sunday's contest against Green Bay and Jalen Nailor (concussion) being ruled out. Jackson saw his first regular-season action as a pro last week versus Detroit, logging one offensive snap and 12 special-teams snaps in the loss. He figures to have a minimal role again Sunday if he suits up.

  • Broncos' Phillip Dorsett: Elevated for Week 17

    The Broncos elevated Dorsett from their practice squad to their active roster Saturday.

    This will be Dorsett's second elevation to the active roster this season. The first time he was active on game day was Week 1 against the Raiders, when he played six offensive snaps and didn't catch his lone target. Courtland Sutton (concussion) won't play Sunday, and how much work Dorsett is given could depend on whether Jerry Jeudy (illness) and/or Marvin Mims (hamstring) miss the game as well.
