Crowder went without a target while playing five of the Commanders' 55 snaps on offense in Sunday's 45-15 loss to the Dolphins.

Crowder had logged double-digit snaps in four of the Commanders' previous five games while producing a 13-130-1 receiving line on 16 targets, but he dropped to sixth in the pecking order at receiver Sunday with all of Terry McLaurin, Jahan Dotson, Curtis Samuel, Byron Pringle and Dyami Brown seeing more playing time. Though the Commanders could look to work Crowder in more at the expense of either Pringle or Brown coming out of their Week 14 bye, McLaurin, Dotson and Samuel are locked in as Washington's clear top three wideouts when healthy.

Brown didn't gain any yardage on his lone reception while playing 11 of the Commanders' 55 snaps on offense in Sunday's 45-15 loss to the Dolphins.

Brown hasn't been able to build on the 35-yard game-tying reception touchdown reception he provided in an eventual 29-26 loss to Seattle in Week 10. In the Commanders' ensuing three contests, Brown has hovered between snap shares of 20 and 25 percent while compiling a 2-7-0 receiving line on five targets. With Washington's receiving corps at full strength at the moment, Brown is unlikely to see his role increase coming out of the team's Week 14 bye.

Iosivas went without a target while playing seven of 73 snaps on offense in Monday's 34-31 overtime win over the Jaguars.

Iosivas remains a core special-teams contributor for the Bengals, but he saw his role on offense get scaled back Week 13 as Cincinnati welcomed fellow wideout Tee Higgins (hamstring/ankle) back from a three-game absence. In the three weeks while Higgins was out, Iosivas logged 41 total snaps on offense and produced a 2-25-0 receiving line on four targets.

Jones went without a target while playing one of the Bengals' 73 offensive snaps in Monday's 34-31 overtime win over the Jaguars.

Since being reinstated from injured reserve Week 11 after missing six straight contests with a thumb injury, Jones has logged just six snaps on offense over three games. He'll likely continue to handle a limited role at receiver moving forward, though Jones should be active on a weekly basis due to his duties as the Bengals' punt returner.

Young (abdomen) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice session, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Young has missed the last three games after sustaining an abdomen injury in Week 10 against the Commanders. It was his only appearance of the year, as he spent the beginning of the year on IR with a groin injury. Young's full participation Wednesday is a good sign that the 2022 seventh-round pick is on track to return for Week 14 against the 49ers.

Eskridge (ribs) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Eskridge missed Week 13 against the Cowboys while dealing with a rib issue. He's buried on the wide receiver depth chart but has established himself as the top kick returner, and, barring a setback, figures to reclaim that role for Week 14 against the 49ers.

Bobo (knee) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Bobo popped up on the Seahawk's injury report Wednesday with a knee issue. He's registered a catch in four straight games as he operates behind DK Metcalf, Tyler Lockett and Jaxon Smith-Njigba on the wide receiver depth chart. Over 12 games this season, Bobo has caught 15 passes for 171 yards and two touchdowns and has rushed for a three-yard touchdown.

Montgomery may be asked to play a larger role in the Patriots' offense Thursday night versus Pittsburgh, Evan Lazar of the team's official website reports.

Montgomery could see an increased workload against the Steelers with Rhamondre Stevenson (ankle) officially ruled out for Week 14. This season, Montgomery has turned three carries into nine yards while appearing in all 12 of the team's contests to this point, and he'll be operating behind Ezekiel Elliott in the backfield so his fantasy value will remain limited.

Boutte (shoulder) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Steelers.

Boutte has been active for the Patriots' last two games and recorded two catches for 19 yards on three targets, but he's nursing the shoulder injury coming out of this past Sunday's 6-0 loss to the Chargers. Though he was listed as a limited participant on practice reports issued Tuesday and Wednesday, Boutte ultimately wasn't able to overcome the shoulder issue on a short week and will be in street clothes Thursday. Fellow wideout Demario Douglas (concussion) has also been ruled out for Week 14, while DeVante Parker (knee) and JuJu Smith-Schuster (ankle) are both listed as questionable.

Jones is listed as a non-participant on Wednesday's estimated practice report due to a groin injury.

The injury might explain why Jones' playing time fell off a cliff (10 snaps) in Sunday's loss to the 49ers, though it's also possible the Eagles simply prefer Quez Watkins (46 snaps) as their No. 3 receiver. Jones was listed with a knee injury the past few weeks, but the groin issue is something new and might affect his availability for a matchup with the Cowboys this Sunday.
