  • Jayden Reed WR | GB

    Packers' Jayden Reed: Returns to practice

    Reed (collarbone) returned to practice Friday, opening his 21-day window to be activated from injured reserve, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

    Reed presumably won't play Sunday against the Vikings and can be considered uncertain to face the Lions four days later on Thanksgiving Day. The timing of his return to practice suggests he'll be ready for a Dec. 7 matchup with the Bears (Week 14), if not the Thanksgiving game.

  • Chris Godwin WR | TB

    Buccaneers' Chris Godwin: Trending toward playing

    Buccaneers coach Todd Bowles confirmed Friday that Godwin (fibula) is on track to play Sunday against the Rams, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.

    It nonetheless remains to be seen if Godwin will avoid a game designation on the final injury report. He was a full practice participant Thursday for the first time since early October.

  • Rashod Bateman WR | BAL

    Ravens' Rashod Bateman: Still not practicing

    Bateman (ankle) wasn't spotted at practice Friday, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

    Given that Bateman also logged DNPs both Wednesday and Thursday, the wideout is trending toward missing Sunday's game against the Jets. If that ends up being the case, Zay Flowers, DeAndre Hopkins and Tylan Wallace would be in line to lead Baltimore's WR corps in Week 12.

  • Elijah Moore WR | BUF

    Bills' Elijah Moore: One catch Thursday

    Moore caught one of three targets for minus-3 yards in Thursday's 23-19 loss to the Texans.

    Moore returned to action after being a healthy scratch in Week 11 against the Buccaneers, but his contributions remained minimal. The Bills are searching for consistent production at wide receiver behind Khalil Shakir, but Moore doesn't seem to be the answer.

  • Gabe Davis WR | BUF

    Bills' Gabe Davis: One catch in Week 12 loss

    Davis caught one of two targets for 22 yards in Thursday's 23-19 loss to the Texans.

    Davis' 55 percent snap share was second among Buffalo's wide receivers behind Khalil Shakir's 67 percent, while Keon Coleman (coach's decision) was scratched for a second consecutive game. Davis is slated to revert back to the Bills' practice squad, but given his prominent role Thursday, it wouldn't be surprising to see him get another chance to play in Week 13 at Pittsburgh. He can be elevated from the practice squad a third time, having already been elevated twice, but the Bills would have to add Davis to the active roster after that for him to keep playing.

  • Tyrell Shavers WR | BUF

    Bills' Tyrell Shavers: No targets Thursday

    Shavers wasn't targeted in Thursday's 23-19 loss to the Texans.

    Shavers played 39 percent of snaps on offense, which was the lowest share among Buffalo's five active wide receivers Thursday. That group didn't include Keon Coleman (coach's decision) for a second consecutive game. Shavers has flashed some big-play ability, but his floor remains low as a depth piece in a Bills offense that has found more success on the ground than through the air lately.

  • Josh Palmer WR | BUF

    Bills' Joshua Palmer: Two catches in Thursday's loss

    Palmer caught two of four targets for 21 yards in Thursday's 23-19 loss to the Texans.

    Palmer played exactly half of Buffalo's 66 snaps on offense, behind Khalil Shakir (67 percent) and Gabe Davis (55 percent) but ahead of Elijah Moore (41 percent) and Tyrell Shavers (39 percent) while Keon Coleman (coach's decision) was inactive for a second consecutive game. Palmer and Shakir linked up for a drive-extending lateral to convert fourth-and-27 on Buffalo's final possession, as Palmer caught an 11-yard pass and found Shakir in-stride behind him for an additional 33-yard gain. Josh Allen was picked off four plays later as the Bills dropped to 7-4 ahead of a Week 13 trip to Pittsburgh.

  • Jaylin Noel WR | HOU

    Texans' Jaylin Noel: Minimal role on offense

    Noel caught one of two targets for four yards, logged one carry for five yards and returned four kickoffs for 96 yards in Thursday's 23-16 win over the Bills in Week 12.

    One of Noel's two targets came in the red zone, and the rookie recorded his fourth carry of the season. After a mid-season spike in activity, he's had two or fewer targets in three of the last four contests. Noel's greatest weekly contributions have come on special teams, where he's settled in as the Texans' primary returner of both punts and kickoffs.

  • Texans' Xavier Hutchinson: Gets one touch in win

    Hutchinson did not record a target and had one carry for nine yards in Thursday's 23-16 win over Buffalo in Week 12.

    Hutchinson was on the field for a season-low 21 snaps with his only contribution being a red-zone carry. The play started as an end-around on which it looked like he was going to throw the ball but ended up being a nine-yard scramble. This was the second time in three weeks that Hutchinson did not generate a target, but things could change Week 13 if starting quarterback C.J. Stroud (concussion) returns.

  • Jayden Higgins WR | HOU

    Texans' Jayden Higgins: Records fourth TD in win

    Higgins brought in four of nine targets for 38 yards and a touchdown in the Texans' 23-19 win over the Bills on Thursday night.

    The rookie wideout led the team in targets while checking in second in receptions, as he continued to display plenty of chemistry with fill-in signal-caller Davis Mills. The rookie second-round pick added his fourth career touchdown grab -- including his second in the three games Mills has started -- on an eight-yard catch just before halftime. Higgins has at least four receptions in three straight contests, but he'll likely return to working with C.J. Stroud (concussion) as his quarterback in a Week 13 road matchup against the Colts on Sunday, Nov. 30.
