Collins (calf) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Jets.

With the Texans placing Tank Dell (fibula) on injured reserve earlier this week with a season-ending injury, the loss of Collins now leaves the team without its top two receivers for the second half of Sunday's contest. Collins hauled in his lone target for a 13-yard gain before departing the game in the first quarter. Houston will be left with Noah Brown, Robert Woods, John Metchie and Xavier Hutchinson as its available wideouts for the rest of the day.

Atwell is being evaluated for a concussion and is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Ravens.

Prior to his departure from the contest in the second quarter, Atwell drew one target and didn't record a catch. If Atwell is shut down for the day, Demarcus Robinson will be the next man up to play alongside Cooper Kupp and Puka Nacua in three-receiver sets.

Hollins has returned to Sunday's Week 14 contest against the Buccaneers after departing earlier due to an ankle injury, Josh Kendall of The Athletic reports.

Hollins has been battling an ankle issue since early November and missed three games due to the injury. He departed in the first quarter of Sunday's contest and was initially labeled as questionable to return but has since reentered the game. Hollins hasn't exceeded three catches in any game this season, making him a fantasy option only in very deep leagues.

Hollins (ankle) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, Terrin Waack of the Falcons' official site reports.

The wide receiver was questionable with the same injury going into the day. Hollins did not record a catch before exiting. The veteran has 17 catches for 247 yards and no touchdowns in 2023.

Collins suffered a calf injury during Sunday's game at the Jets and is questionable to return.

Prior to his exit in the first quarter, Collins had hauled in his only target for 13 yards. With Tank Dell (fibula) out for the season, Texans are left with Noah Brown, Robert Woods, John Metchie and Xavier Hutchinson at wide receiver.

Cooper (concussion/ribs) is active for Sunday's game against the Jaguars.

Cooper headed into Sunday with a questionable designation after he managed just one limited practice this week due to his two injuries, but his status for the Week 14 contest was mostly cleared up Saturday, when he was confirmed to have cleared the five-step concussion protocol. Despite his light practice activity this week, Cooper isn't expected to face any major restrictions with his snap count Sunday. Though the Browns haven't formally named a Week 14 starting quarterback, Cooper is expected to be on the receiving end of passes from Joe Flacco, who appears in line for a second consecutive start even though rookie Dorian Thompson-Robinson has cleared concussion protocol.

Johnson (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's contest against Detroit.

Johnson was elevated from the practice squad for the first time this season Saturday as a result of Tyler Scott (hamstring) and Velus Jones (illness) being questionable for Sunday. Both Scott and Jones will suit up against the Lions, leaving Johnson still in search of his first game action since 2021.

Hollins (ankle) is active for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

As expected, Hollins has been cleared to suit up for the first time since Week 9. However, his role remains a mystery. Hollins opened the season as the No. 2 wideout behind Drake London, but his role was decreasing before his multi-week absence. With Hollins sidelined, Van Jefferson, KhaDarel Hodge and Scott Miller were splitting snaps, but they were unable to deliver consistent production. Hollins should see the field in Week 14, but he'll likely need to find the end zone to submit a quality fantasy performance.

Marshall (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game at New Orleans.

Marshall hasn't seen the field since Week 10 and will once again be a healthy scratch for the Panthers. The 2021 second-round pick may not see the field again this season given his place on the depth chart.

Brown (knee) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Jets.

Brown -- who approached the contest listed as questionable -- was limited at Wednesday's practice, then logged a full session Thursday before closing out the week with a 'DNP' on Friday. With his Week 14 availability confirmed, Brown will have a chance to assume a key role in a Houston WR corps that also includes Nico Collins and Robert Woods and will be without Tank Dell (leg) for the rest of the season. In his return to action in Week 13 following a two-game absence due to a knee issue, Brown logged 55 of a possible 68 snaps on offense against the Broncos but was held without a catch on two targets. A bounce-back versus New York is plausible though barring any in-game setbacks or limitations, considering the numbers that Brown put up in Weeks 9 (6/153/1) and 10 (7/172/0).
