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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Washington (hip) is officially inactive for Sunday's game against the Colts.

Washington received the questionable tag after sustaining the hip injury last week versus Tennessee and will miss his first game of the season Sunday. Tim Patrick, Dyami Brown and Austin Trammell should battle for reps as Jacksonville's No. 3 wideout behind starters Brian Thomas and Jakobi Meyers.

Olave (back) is active for Sunday's game at Tampa Bay.

For the second week in a row, Olave took a questionable tag into game day, but he'll once again be able to play though the back issue after turning in limited practices Thursday and Friday. Olave didn't appear to be operating with any restrictions during last week's loss to the Dolphins, finishing with four catches for 47 yards on seven targets while notching his fifth touchdown catch of the season.

Washington (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Seahawks.

Washington will be a healthy scratch for a third consecutive game despite the continued absence of Drake London (knee). Darnell Mooney and Kyle Pitts will lead the Falcons' pass catchers Sunday, which also includes David Sills, Dylan Drummond and Deven Thompkins. Washington's next opportunity to play is Thursday against the Buccaneers, though he's unlikely to play in that contest unless the Falcons require additional depth at wide receiver.

Palmer (knee/ankle) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Bengals.

After logging three consecutive 'DNP' listings this week, Palmer -- who was inactive in Week 13 -- was deemed questionable for Sunday's contest. In his continued absence, Khalil Shakir, Keon Coleman, Gabe Davis, Tyrell Shavers and Brandin Cooks will handle Buffalo's WR duties versus Cincinnati.

Evans (collarbone) will remain out for Sunday's game against the Saints but is pushing to return from injured reserve and could be activated ahead of next Thursday's contest versus the Falcons, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Though he'll be sidelined for a sixth consecutive game this weekend, Evans took a major step forward in his recovery from a broken clavicle by returning to practice this week. He was a limited participant throughout the week, so Evans may need to upgrade to full participation at some point during the Buccaneers' shortened Week 15 prep period to boost his odds of suiting up against Atlanta. If Evans doesn't make enough progress to play next week, a return to action Week 16 versus the Panthers on Dec. 21 would be a realistic target for the veteran receiver.
