Parker (knee) was listed as a limited participant on Monday's estimated injury report, Jim McBride of The Boston Globe reports.

Parker returned to action Week 11 following a two-game absence due to a knee injury, so his limited designation likely can be attributed to rest. The veteran wideout will have two more days to log a full practice before the team needs to make a decision on his status for the Patriots' Thanksgiving Day matchup against the Vikings.

Brown (foot) wasn't activated from injured reserve ahead of Monday night's game against the 49ers, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

The Cardinals designated Brown for return from injured reserve last Wednesday, but the wideout isn't quite ready to suit up for game action and thus will target a potential return Week 12 against the Chargers. In the meantime, look for DeAndre Hopkins -- who is listed as questionable for Monday's contest but trending toward playing, per Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com -- Rondale Moore and A.J. Green to lead the team's Week 11 wideout corps, with Robbie Anderson and Greg Dortch also in the mix.

Reynolds (back) was listed as a non-participant on Monday's estimated injury report, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.

The 27-year-old wideout practiced in a limited fashion last Thursday before ultimately being ruled out for a third straight game due to a back injury. He'll have two more opportunities to practice before the team needs to make a decision on his status for Thursday's matchup against Buffalo, but Reynolds may be trending toward a fourth straight absence.

Coach Zac Taylor said Monday that Chase (hip) will resume practicing this week, but his availability for Sunday's matchup against the Titans remains to be determined, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.

Taylor added, "Everything has been positive up to this point, which we hoped it would be." As such, Chase, who hasn't suited up since Week 7 due to a hip injury, could return to game action soon. However, the star wideout's participation at practice in the coming days likely will provide further clarity on his availability for Week 12.

James (knee) was listed as a non-participant on Monday's injury report, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

James caught all three of his targets for 48 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's loss to the Lions, but he appears to have suffered a knee injury as well. The Giants held a walkthrough Monday, so the injury report is merely an estimate, but it's still disappointing to see James unavailable, especially with Wan'Dale Robinson (knee) likely out for the remainder of the campaign. The extent of the injury remains unclear, but James will have two more days to practice before the team has to make a decision on his status for the Giants' Thanksgiving Day matchup against the Cowboys.

Skowronek secured one of four targets for four yards in Sunday's 27-20 loss to the Saints.

It was another disappointing performance from the second-year wideout, who has just four receptions for 28 yards since the Week 7 bye. Despite playing the most snaps of any Rams wide receiver, Skowronek actually finished fourth on the team in targets and a distant seventh in receiving yardage. With Allen Robinson and Van Jefferson leading the team at wideout during the absence of Cooper Kupp (ankle), Skowronek's stock is trending down heading into a tough Week 12 matchup with the Chiefs.

Powell rushed once for minus-1 yard and caught both of his targets for 16 yards in Sunday's 27-20 loss to the Saints. He also returned two punts for nine yards and one kickoff for 34 yards.

Powell's lengthy kickoff return was critical in setting up Tutu Atwell's first career touchdown, a 62-yard bomb that kicked off scoring on the day for the Rams. More encouraging for Powell was the 20 snaps he saw on offense, his second most in a game so far this season. The Rams' primary return man may continue to enjoy a more expanded role on offense while Cooper Kupp (ankle) misses time.

Callaway reeled in his only target for six yards during Sunday's 27-20 win versus the Rams.

Callaway saw a minimal role in the Saints' resurgent passing game Week 11. The 6-foot-2 wideout did not benefit from quarterback Andy Dalton's best passing stat line of the season, as he was targeted fewer than three times for just the second game in his last seven appearances. Callaway also tied his lowest number of offense snaps played (21) from this span. After being ruled a healthy scratch with veteran wideout Jarvis Landry back in the lineup Week 10, Callaway appears set to play a deep supporting role so long as New Orleans' receiving corps remains healthy moving forward.

Cole caught one of two targets for 21 yards in Sunday's 22-16 overtime win over the Broncos. He also returned four punts for 28 yards.

Despite playing more than 40 offensive snaps again this week, Cole was held without a catch until the Raiders' final drive in regulation. Meanwhile, fellow receivers Davante Adams and Mack Hollins combined for 13 receptions on 22 targets for 193 yards and two scores. Expect Cole to continue occupying the slot against the Seahawks in Week 12.

Atwell caught his only target for 62 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-20 loss to the Saints.

Atwell saw the field for the first time since Week 6 and quickly made an impact, burning down the left sideline past Saints safety Chris Harris for an explosive first-quarter touchdown. Atwell's field-stretching ability and game-breaking speed may force the Rams to give the second-year wideout more time on the field, and with the Rams playing the Chiefs in Week 12, Atwell's big-play prowess may be more necessary than ever in hopes of keeping up with one of the most dynamic offenses in the league.
