Young (abdomen) is listed as inactive for Thursday's game against the 49ers.

No surprise here, as Young was listed as doubtful heading into the evening. His absence will mark his second straight game missed. In his absence, Dee Eskridge could see some extra snaps as a depth receiver.

St. Brown caught nine of 11 targets for 95 yards during Thursday's 29-22 loss to Green Bay.

Only Keenan Allen has averaged more targets per game than St. Brown has this season, and the USC product yet again took advantage of his voluminous role with a fifth eight-catch game in his past six outings. While St. Brown admittedly needed garbage time to approach the century mark in receiving yards, it can be argued that St. Brown was deprived of a number of other opportunities to rack up stats before that point thanks to Detroit's five failed fourth-down conversion attempts and three drive-killing fumbles. Look for St. Brown to stay busy when the Detroit offense looks to get back on track in a Week 13 road trip to New Orleans.

Beckham (shoulder) was listed as a limited participant in practice Thursday.

Beckham didn't practice Wednesday, but his listed return to practice a day later -- albeit in a limited fashion -- bodes well for his chances of playing Sunday night against the Chargers. Friday's injury report will reveal whether the veteran wideout heads into the weekend with an injury designation, with his Week 12 availability potentially gaining added import if Zay Flowers (hip/DNP on Thursday) is limited or out this weekend.

Doubs caught three of four targets for 37 yards in Thursday's 29-22 win over the Lions.

The second-year wideout took a back seat to Christian Watson (5-94-1 on seven targets) and Jayden Reed (4-34-1 on eight targets) in this one, but Doubs had a key 14-yard grab in the third quarter to help set up Watson's score. Doubs has caught at least three passes in five straight games, and while he has only 175 receiving yards over that stretch he's scored three TDs of his own. The Packers' trio of young WRs will likely keep taking turns coming up big as they develop alongside first-year starting QB Jordan Love, but the team's whole passing game faces a daunting challenge in Week 13 against Kansas City's secondary.

Bateman (foot) was listed as a full participant in practice Thursday.

Bateman downplayed the foot issue that limited him in practice Wednesday, and his return to a full session a day later sets the stage for him to be available Sunday night against the Chargers. Bateman's production thus far has been modest, but there could be some extra targets up for grabs this weekend, with star tight end Mark Andrews out with an ankle injury and top wide receiver Zay Flowers having missed practice Thursday with a hip issue.

Reed caught four of eight targets for 34 yards and a touchdown and added 16 rushing yards on two carries in Thursday's 29-22 win over the Lions.

While it wasn't the most efficient performance, Reed scored a TD for the third straight game, opening the scoring on Green Bay's first possession with a 10-yard strike from Jordan Love. The 2023 second-round pick has totaled 226 scrimmage yards over his three-game touchdown streak, and with the Packers committed to getting him the ball in a variety of ways, Reed appears poised for a big finish to the season.

Flowers (hip) was listed as a non-participant in practice Thursday.

Flowers was limited Wednesday, so his downgrade to 'DNP' a day later is notable. Meanwhile, fellow WR Odell Beckham (shoulder) was limited Thursday, while Rashod Bateman (foot) worked fully. Friday's injury report will add valuable context regarding the chances of the trio all playing Sunday night against the Chargers, but unless Flowers practices fully to close the week, he figures to head into the weekend with an injury designation.

Watson caught five of seven targets for 94 yards and a touchdown in Thursday's 29-22 win over the Lions.

The second-year wideout looked as healthy as he's been all season and produced new season highs in catches and receiving yards, capping his performance with a 16-yard TD from Jordan Love late in the third quarter for Green Bay's final points of the day. Watson has gotten into the end zone in back-to-back games, but he could have a hard time extending that streak in Week 13 against a stingy Kansas City secondary.

Guyton (groin) remained limited at practice Thursday.

Guyton was also limited Wednesday, so he may need to practice fully Friday in order to approach Sunday night's game against the Ravens without an injury designation. If he's available this weekend, Guyton -- who was inactive Week 11 -- will have a chance to reclaim a key role in a Chargers' WR corps that also includes PPR stalwart Keenan Allen and 2023 first-rounder Quentin Johnston.

Duvernay (knee) was a full participant at Thursday's practice.

Duvernay landed on the Ravens' injury report due to a knee issue after a limited workload at Wednesday's practice. It now looks like he has moved past the issue and should be set for his usual role as a depth receiving option and special-teams contributor in Week 12, assuming he avoids any setbacks.
