Jarrett (quadriceps) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Jaguars, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.

Jarrett was a full participant in all three practices this week, but the Bucs will take the cautious approach and keep him out for the fifth straight week. As long as he doesn't suffer any setbacks, he should be able to return for Week 17 against the Saints.

Jones (hamstring/knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers.

Coach Doug Pederson said earlier Friday that Jones likely won't be able to play Sunday, but the Jaguars aren't ready to officially rule the slot receiver out on their final injury report. If Jones sits out as expected, Parker Washington and Jamal Agnew could see additional opportunities behind Calvin Ridley. It remains to be seen which quarterback will be throwing the ball to Jacksonville's receivers Sunday, as Trevor Lawrence (concussion/ankle) is also listed as questionable.

Godwin (knee) was a full practice participant Friday and doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against Jacksonville, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.

Godwin had season highs for catches (10) and receiving yards (155) while playing through the same injury during last week's 34-20 win over the Packers. He's now avoided an injury designation altogether, following last week's 'questionable' tag, with a full practice Friday confirming his knee issue isn't a serious problem.

Pittman (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Falcons after logging a limited practice Friday.

Per Raven Moore of the Colts' official site, Pittman cleared the NFL's concussion protocol Friday, but the team's top wide receiver is still dealing with a shoulder issue. As a result, his status will need to be verified ahead of Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff. If Pittman ends up sitting out this weekend, added pass-catching opportunities would be available for Josh Downs, Alec Pierce and D.J. Montgomery.

St. Brown (pectoral) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

The 27-year-old wideout is in line to miss his third consecutive game in Week 16, as he continues to recover from a pectoral issue. With St. Brown missing even more time, expect Tyler Scott to continue seeing increased opportunities as the Bears' No. 3 wide receiver.

Philips (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's contest against Seattle, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Philips was able to practice in a limited capacity Thursday, but he'll ultimately be sidelined with his hamstring injury in Week 16. Colton Dowell and Mason Kinsey are both candidates to see an uptick in usage at wide receiver versus the Seahawks.

Dortch (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bears, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Dortch returned to practice Friday as a limited participant after missing the previous two sessions, with coach Jonathan Gannon telling reporters the wide receiver is trending in the "right direction" to suit up Sunday, per Johnny Venerable of GoPHNX.com. If so, Dortch figures to occupy a top-three role alongside Michael Wilson and Rondale Moore, as Marquise Brown (heel) has been ruled out after missing practice all week. The Cardinals and Bears are scheduled for a late-afternoon kickoff at 4:25 p.m. ET on Sunday.

Nailor (concussion) has been ruled out of Sunday's game against the Lions.

Nailor missed Minnesota's Week 15 overtime loss to the Bengals, and it now seems that his concussion will hinder him for at least one more game. The second-year wideout was unable to practice all week, so it's no surprise that he won't suit up Sunday. Brandon Powell could see more snaps in the Vikings' wide receiver room with Nailor missing Week 16.

Wicks (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at the Panthers, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

The fifth-round pick has done well with his limited chances as a rookie and really stepped up last week with a 6-97-0 receiving line on seven targets while filling in for Christian Watson (hamstring) in a 34-20 loss to Tampa Bay. Wicks picked up an ankle injury along the way but managed limited practice participation throughout the week, while Watson is listed as doubtful after missing practice Wednesday and Thursday. Slot man Jayden Reed (toe) also is listed as questionable, and he seems less likely than Wicks to play after missing practice Wednesday and Thursday. We might not have a great feel for Green Bay's plans at wide receiver until inactive lists are released 90 minutes before the 1:00 ET kickoff this Sunday.

Reed (toe) didn't practice Friday and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at Carolina, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

Reed was outside with his teammates for Friday's practice but ultimately didn't participate, marking his third consecutive absence following a late exit from a 34-20 loss to Tampa Bay in Week 15. With Christian Watson (hamstring) listed as doubtful and his replacement (Dontayvion Wicks) now questionable due to an ankle injury, the Packers have just Romeo Doubs at full strength among their top four options at wide receiver. It's still possible both Reed and Wicks play, in which case they'd form the top trio along with Doubs. If one or both are inactive, Malik Heath and/or Samori Toure will fill in (Heath benefitted from Reed's absence at the end of last Sunday's loss). The lack of practice participation this week suggests Reed will be a game-time decision, at best, ahead of the 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff Sunday, whereas Wicks was able to practice on a limited basis this week and thus appears in less danger of missing the game.
