Van Jefferson WR | WAS
Titans' Van Jefferson: Three catches in loss
Jefferson recorded three catches on four targets for 20 yards in Sunday's 25-3 loss to the Jaguars.
Jefferson saw a slight downturn in snaps due to the return of Elic Ayomanor, but he still managed to retain a serviceable role in the offense. He converted three of his targets into short gains, and he's topped 25 receiving yards only twice in 12 games this season.

Chimere Dike WR | TEN
Titans' Chimere Dike: Primary impact on special teams
Dike recorded one catch (on four targets) for eight yards in Sunday's 25-3 loss to the Jaguars. He also had five punt returns for 76 yards and three kickoff returns for 76 yards.
Dike's inconsistency this season has mirrored that of the Tennessee offense as a whole, as he has at least 40 receiving yards in three of his last six games and under 20 in the remaining three. While his receiving line was a disappointment, Dike has gained a more consistent role in the offense, commanding at least four targets in four of his last six games. He also remains the team's primary returner on special teams.

Elijah Moore WR | PHI
Elijah Moore: Visits Denver
Moore was hosted by the Broncos for a visit Monday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Moore was waived by the Bills on Wednesday, but he has yet to find a new home. The wide receiver caught nine of 17 targets for 112 yards while also adding 24 yards and a score on six carries over nine games with Buffalo this season. The 25-year-old would provide Denver with another experienced option at wideout if the team deems him worthy of a deal.

Will Sheppard WR | GB
Will Sheppard: Quickly waived by Pack
The Packers waived Sheppard on Monday.
Sheppard was signed to the active roster ahead of Green Bay's Thanksgiving matchup against the Lions. While he was active for the contest, he did not log a snap. Sheppard is a candidate to rejoin the Packers' practice squad.

Jalin Hyatt WR | NYG
Giants' Jalin Hyatt: Healthy scratch in Week 13
Hyatt (coach's decision) is listed as inactive Monday at New England, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
For a second time this season -- and first time since Week 8 -- Hyatt is a healthy scratch, and this will mark his seventh time overall that he won't log an offensive snap through 13 games. The Giants' available wide receivers for Monday's matchup are Wan'Dale Robinson, Darius Slayton, Isaiah Hodgins, Gunner Olszewski and Dalen Cambre. Hyatt's next chance to suit up follows the team's Week 14 bye on Sunday, Dec. 14 against the Commanders.

Marvin Harrison Jr. WR | ARI
Cardinals' Marvin Harrison: In danger of more missed time
Coach Jonathan Gannon said Monday that Harrison's heel injury is similar to the one that kept Max Melton (heel) out of Sunday's loss at Tampa Bay, Tyler Drake of ArizonaSports.com reports. Gannon also noted that Harrison is "going to see the doc later on here."
Harrison thus appears to be in danger of missing this coming Sunday's game against the Rams after exiting Week 13 in the fourth quarter and not returning to action. He already sat out Weeks 11 and 12 following an appendectomy, so his activity level thus bears watching Wednesday through Friday to see if the Cardinals' receiving corps again will be shorthanded Week 14. In such a such a scenario, Michael Wilson would reclaim the No. 1 role for at least one more contest, while expanded workloads for Greg Dortch and Xavier Weaver also would be on tap.

Austin Trammell WR | JAC
Austin Trammell: Waived by Jacksonville
The Jaguars waived Trammell on Monday, Demetrius Harvey of The Florida Times-Union reports.
The 27-year-old played a season-high 33 offensive snaps during Sunday's blowout win at Tennessee, but he's now lost his place on the active roster after failing to secure any of his four targets. Trammell was elevated to the active roster from Jacksonville's practice squad in late October and caught three of 10 targets for 46 yards across five games.

Tim Patrick WR | JAC
Jaguars' Tim Patrick: Secures lone target
Patrick caught his lone target for 11 yards during Sunday's 25-3 win against the Titans.
Patrick played just seven offensive snaps, which ranked fifth among Jacksonville's wideouts in the blowout victory. The 32-year-old played at least 29 offensive snaps in each of the previous three games but was relegated to a depth role Sunday with Brian Thomas (ankle) returning to action. Patrick has caught just eight passes for 94 yards and two touchdowns in 11 games this year.

George Pickens WR | DAL
Cowboys' George Pickens: Limited in practice Monday
Pickens (calf/knee) was limited in Monday's practice, Eric Woodyard of ESPN.com reports.
Pickens had his practice reps limited last week with the same injuries and ultimately didn't carry an injury designation into last Thursday's win over the Chiefs. He ended up drawing a season-high 13 targets against Kansas City, turning in a 6-88-0 receiving line on 74 percent of the offensive snaps. He should be fine for Thursday night's game against the Lions.
