Westbrook-Ikhine (illness) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Texans.

Westbrook-Ikhine was a late-week addition to the injury report, missing practice Friday. With Kyle Philips (hamstring) already ruled out for Week 15, the Titans could be down to DeAndre Hopkins, Treylon Burks and Chris Moore as their main wideouts Sunday.

Reed (ankle) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

After dealing with a chest injury during preparation for Weeks 12-14, Reed operated with a cap on his reps this week due to an ankle issue. It won't stop him from suiting up Sunday, though, and he likely won't have to contend with fellow wide receiver Christian Watson (hamstring, doubtful) for reps this weekend. Rookie WR Dontayvion Wicks (ankle) also is questionable for Week 15, leaving Reed, Romeo Doubs, Malik Heath and Samori Toure as the healthy options at the position on the Packers' active roster.

Godwin (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Green Bay, with coach Todd Bowles saying Friday that he considers the wide receiver a game-time decision, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.

Despite what Bowles said, Godwin appears on track to play after managing full participation in his return to practice Friday. That would seem to confirm his absences Wednesday and Thursday were precautionary, though fantasy managers still will want to make sure Godwin isn't on the inactive list ahead of a 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff Sunday.

Thornton (hamstring) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Chiefs.

Thornton was added to the injury report Thursday and finished the week with a pair of limited practices. After playing 54 of 57 snaps last week against the Steelers, Thornton will likely slide back to a depth role if he's active this week. Demario Douglas is due back from his concussion.

Smith-Schuster (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Chiefs.

Smith-Schuster got in a week of limited practices and should be good to go for Week 15, per Mike Reiss of ESPN.com. This will be the second straight game the veteran pass catcher will face one of his former teams after spending the 2022 season with the Chiefs. Smith-Schuster went for 6-90-0 against the Steelers in Week 14. Fellow WRs DeVante Parker (knee) and Tyquan Thornton (hamstring) also are listed as questionable.

Parker (knee) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Chiefs.

Parker got in a week of limited practices, but he did the same last week before being deemed inactive for Week 14 against the Steelers. He's likely to be a game-time call. Along with Parker, JuJu Smith-Schuster (ankle) and Tyquan Thornton (hamstring) also are listed as questionable. The good news for New England is that Demario Douglas is in line to be back this week after missing two games with a concussion.

Brown (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Titans.

Brown played through the same injury the past two weeks, though he finished both games without any receptions (on seven total targets). Looking further back, he topped 150 yards in consecutive games Weeks 9 and 10, then missed Weeks 11 and 12 because of the knee issue. He should get plenty of snaps if he's healthy enough to play this Sunday -- especially if Nico Collins (calf) is inactive after three straight missed practices -- though it won't be surprising if Brown continues to struggle with efficiency while playing through his injury and likely catching passes from backup QB Davis Mills. C.J. Stroud (concussion) missed practice throughout the week, and unlike Collins he wasn't given a questionable designation, with the Texans instead listing their rookie QB as doubtful ahead of a 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff Sunday.

Collins (calf) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Titans.

Collins' failure to practice all week suggests he's more likely to miss the game than play, but it apparently isn't a given as the Texans head into the weekend and prepare for an early kickoff (1:00 p.m. ET) this Sunday. QB C.J. Stroud (concussion) also missed practice throughout the week and is listed as doubtful, while WR Noah Brown (knee) is listed as questionable after three straight limited practices. If Stroud and Collins both are inactive, the Texans passing game likely will be headlined by QB Davis Mills throwing to Brown, Robert Woods, Xavier Hutchinson, John Metchie and TE Dalton Schultz.

Shaheed (thigh) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game versus the Giants, Brooke Kirchhofer of NewOrleans.Football reports.

Shaheed missed the last two games due to a thigh injury, and while he opened Week 15 prep with back-to-back capped sessions, he ended it with a full practice Friday, paving the way for his first appearance since Week 12. Fellow wide receiver Chris Olave (ankle) is questionable for Sunday after failing to practice all week, so if he's inhibited or sidelined this weekend, Shaheed would be poised for an elevated role in the Saints' passing attack.

Olave (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Giants, Matthew Paras of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

The Saints held Olave out of practice both Wednesday and Thursday due to an ankle injury, and coach Dennis Allen said Friday that the wide receiver's availability for Week 15 will go "right to the wire" ahead of Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff. Olave has either surpassed 100 receiving yards or recorded a touchdown in the past five games, so his status is key for New Orleans offense.
