Lockett (illness) and the Seahawks will no longer play the Rams on Sunday, after the NFL officially rescheduled the matchup between the two teams for Tuesday at 7 p.m. ET.

Due to ongoing COVID-19-related issues within the Rams organization, the NFL is hopeful that by delaying the game two days, Los Angeles will be able to restore enough players from the reserve/COVID-19 list to alleviate depth concerns on the roster. The two-day delay could also provide sufficient time for Lockett to return from the reserve/COVID-19 list after he tested positive for the virus Thursday, with his potential availability hinging on whether or not he's experiencing any symptoms. If Lockett doesn't clear the necessary protocols prior to Tuesday's game, the Seahawks will likely turn to a combination of Freddie Swain (ankle), Dee Eskridge (foot) and Penny Hart to handle reps at receiver alongside starter DK Metcalf (foot).

Reynolds (thigh) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

Reynolds wasn't on the injury report at the start of the week, but it's a good sign he managed a limited practice Friday after being added to the report Thursday (also as LP). He's been starting and handling an every-down role for the Lions, averaging 2.5 catches for 47.8 yards on 5.0 targets over the past four games. An absence this Sunday would free up snaps for Kalif Raymond and possibly Tom Kennedy, KhaDarel Hodge or Trinity Benson.

Beckham (illness) and the Rams will no longer play the Seahawks on Sunday, after the NFL officially rescheduled the matchup between the two teams for Tuesday at 7 p.m. ET.

Due to ongoing COVID-19-related issues within the Rams organization, the NFL is hopeful that by delaying the game two days, Los Angeles will be able to restore enough players from the reserve/COVID-19 list to alleviate depth concerns on the roster. Beckham looks like he could be one of the players on track to be cleared, as he suggested in a post on his personal Twitter account that he tested negative for the virus Friday, three days after he initially tested positive. More clarity on Beckham's status for the Week 15 contest should arrive over the weekend or on Monday.

Jefferson and the Rams will no longer play the Seahawks on Sunday, after the NFL officially rescheduled the matchup between the two teams for Tuesday at 7 p.m. ET.

Due to ongoing COVID-19-related issues within the Rams organization, the NFL is hopeful that by delaying the game two days, Los Angeles will be able to restore enough players from the reserve/COVID-19 list to alleviate depth concerns on the roster. After Tuesday's game, the Rams will face a quick turnaround for Week 16 with a Sunday game in Minnesota on Dec. 26.

Kupp and the Rams will no longer play the Seahawks on Sunday, after the NFL officially rescheduled the matchup between the two teams for Tuesday at 7 p.m. ET.

Due to ongoing COVID-19-related issues within the Rams organization, the NFL is hopeful that by delaying the game two days, Los Angeles will be able to restore enough players from the reserve/COVID-19 list to alleviate depth concerns on the roster. After Tuesday's game, the Rams will face a quick turnaround for Week 16 with a Sunday game in Minnesota on Dec. 26.

Shepard was added to the injury report Friday with a calf injury and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Dallas, Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record reports.

The late-week addition is cause for concern, even with the Giants listing Shepard as a limited participant on their Friday practice estimate (the session was just a walk-through). The veteran wide receiver caught two of four targets for 27 yards in last week's loss to the Chargers, playing 81 percent of snaps on offense in his first game back from a five-week absence caused by a quad injury. Shepard also missed time with a hamstring strain earlier this year, with lower-body injuries a recurring theme for him the past three years. An absence this Sunday could leave Pharoh Cooper as the Giants' slot receiver, with Colin Johnson also a candidate to take on snaps alongside Kenny Golladay and Darius Slayton.

Coach Ron Rivera said Friday that he has a "very high" level of optimism that McLaurin (concussion) will play in Sunday's game against the Eagles, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Postreports.

J.D. McKissic (concussion), on the other hand, sounds truly questionable, while McLaurin apparently is on track to clear concussion protocol before Sunday's game. It'll be a less-than-ideal setup for receiving production, with Garrett Gilbert plucked off New England's practice squad for a potential Week 15 start after Washington QBs Taylor Heinicke and Garrett Gilbert were placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list.

Thielen (ankle) isn't practicing Friday, Chris Tomasson of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

The wideout is present but not participating, which suggests he at least has some hope to play in Monday's game against the Bears. It doesn't look promising at the moment, however, with Thielen yet to practice since suffering a high-ankle sprain in the Week 13 loss to Detroit. K.J. Osborn stepped up as the No. 2 receiver in last week's win over Pittsburgh, with Dede Westbrook (now on the reserve/COVID-19 list) handling the No. 3 role. If Thielen and Westbrook both miss the upcoming game, rookie Ihmir Smith-Marsette could get a look as the No. 3 receiver.

Brown (illness) returned to practice Friday, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

The wideout's return to practice Friday after missing Thursday's session bodes well for his chances of playing Sunday against the Packers. The Ravens' upcoming injury report will reveal whether Brown heads into the weekend with a designation or cleared for Week 15 action.

Moore (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at Buffalo, David Newton of ESPN.com reports.

Moore was a limited practice participant Wednesday through Friday after suffering a minor hamstring injury late in the fourth quarter of last week's loss to the Falcons. He appears on track to play this Sunday, but fantasy managers will want to make sure before finalizing Week 15 lineups. The Panthers and Bills are scheduled for a 1:00 ET kickoff, meaning inactive lists will be released around 11:30 a.m.
