  • Jayden Reed WR | GB

    Packers' Jayden Reed: Back in action in Week 14

    Reed (foot/shoulder) is listed as active Sunday against the Bears, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.

    Reed spent much of training camp and the entire preseason sidelined due to what eventually was termed a Jones fracture in his left foot. Then, during a Week 2 win against the Commanders, he fell hard on his right shoulder while hauling in a would-be TD that was nullified by a penalty, and he was diagnosed with a broken collarbone afterward. He underwent procedures to address both injuries Sept. 16, before the Packers designated him for return from injured reserve Nov. 21. After Reed was activated from IR on Saturday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reported later that day that the third-year pro was expected to suit up Sunday, which now has been confirmed. Reed wasn't listed as anything other than limited on Green Bay practice reports leading up to his return, so there's a chance he's eased in while working alongside fellow WRs Christian Watson, Romeo Doubs, Dontayvion Wicks and Matthew Golden (wrist).

  • Malachi Corley WR | CLE

    Browns' Malachi Corley: Enters concussion protocol

    Corley has entered the league's concussion protocol and will not return to Sunday's game against the Titans, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.

    Corley was shaken up on a jet sweep run after being tackled by Amani Hooker. Gage Larvadain should see more reps at wide receiver, and Jerome Ford and Isaiah Bond are in line for more work as returners on kickoffs in Corley's absence.

  • Xavier Gipson WR | NYG

    Xavier Gipson: Waived by Eagles

    The Eagles announced they have waived Gipson on Sunday.

    Gipson missed the Eagles' Week 13 loss to the Bears due to a shoulder injury and was limited in practice until Friday, when he was a full participant. The 24-year-old had two receptions for six yards in six games this season.

  • Steelers' Marquez Valdes-Scantling: Active to face Ravens

    Valdes-Scantling is active for Sunday's game against the Ravens, Alan Saunders of SteelersNow.com reports.

    Valdes-Scantling has been on Pittsburgh's practice squad since early November, and he'll make his team debut roughly one month later. He's likely to serve as the team's fourth receiver behind DK Metcalf, Adam Thielen and Calvin Austin, but he should still find himself on the field for plenty of snaps. While he's reunited with Aaron Rodgers, Valdes-Scantling isn't likely to make a fantasy impact.

  • Adam Thielen WR | PIT

    Steelers' Adam Thielen: Set for Steelers debut

    Thielen is active for Sunday's game against the Ravens, Alan Saunders of SteelersNow.com reports.

    Thielen was claimed off waivers by the Steelers on Tuesday and will now be active just five days later. Pittsburgh has been without a viable No. 2 receiver behind DK Metcalf all season, so Thielen should be in for a significant role immediately. However, due to limited pass volume and his own declining skill set, that role still isn't likely to lead to fantasy relevance in most formats.

  • Ravens' Devontez Walker: Not playing in Week 14

    Walker (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Steelers.

    Though Walker didn't take an injury designation into Sunday after a groin issue limited his participation in a pair of practices this week, the second-year wideout will hit the inactive list for the first time since Week 10. The Ravens will go with DeAndre Hopkins, Tylan Wallace and LaJohntay Wester as their depth receivers behind starters Zay Flowers and Rashod Bateman.

  • Roman Wilson WR | PIT

    Steelers' Roman Wilson: Healthy scratch

    Wilson (coach's decision) is inactive Sunday against the Ravens, Alan Saunders of SteelersNow.com reports.

    The Steelers added Adam Thielen and elevated Marquez Valdes-Scantling from the practice squad this week, giving their wide-receiver corps some depth. That pushed Wilson down the depth chart, though the team opted to make Scotty Miller active ahead of him, after Miller had previously been a healthy scratch. This will mark Wilson's first missed game of the season.

  • Dyami Brown WR | WAS

    Jaguars' Dyami Brown: Suiting up vs. Colts

    Brown is officially active for Sunday's game against Indianapolis.

    After being a healthy scratch last week at Tennessee, Brown is back in the fold Sunday since Parker Washington (hip) is unavailable. The 26-year-old Brown should compete with Tim Patrick and Austin Trammell for playing time behind top wideouts Brian Thomas and Jakobi Meyers.

  • Bengals' Jermaine Burton: Suspended for Sunday's game

    Burton (suspension) is officially inactive for Sunday's game against the Bills.

    Ben Baby of ESPN.com previously reported that Burton didn't travel to Buffalo for non-injury related reasons, with Tom Pelissero of NFL Network subsequently noting that Burton was suspended for Sunday's contest. The 2024 third-rounder has yet to see regular-season action this season. Ja'Marr Chase, Tee Higgins, Andrei Iosivas, Mitchell Tinsley and Charlie Jones are slated to handle the Bengals' Week 14 WR duties.

  • Tyler Johnson WR | NYJ

    Jets' Tyler Johnson: Healthy inactive for Week 14

    Johnson (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against Miami, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

    Johnson will be a healthy scratch for the second time in the Jets' last three games despite the absences of Josh Reynolds (hip - IR) and Garrett Wilson (knee - IR). John Metchie, Adonai Mitchell, Allen Lazard, running back Breece Hall and rookie tight Mason Taylor will serve as Tyrod Taylor's top pass catchers for Sunday's AFC East tilt. Johnson's next opportunity to play is Week 15 against the Jaguars on Sunday, Dec. 14.
