Parris Campbell WR | DAL
Colts' Parris Campbell: Still has GM's confidence
GM Chris Ballard said that Campbell (knee) will be "a valuable member of [the Colts] moving forward" and called the 23-year-old's recent injuries "bad luck," George Bremer of The Anderson Herald Bulletin reports.
Ballard made clear that Campbell remains in good standing with Indianapolis' coaching staff despite having begun his career with back-to-back injury-plagued seasons. Campbell flashed a bit of his tantalizing upside against Jacksonville back in Week 1, securing six of nine catches for 71 yards, but he suffered what proved to be a season-ending knee injury after playing just two offensive snaps the next game. After undergoing October surgery to address both MCL and PCL injuries in his left knee, Campbell's next task will be returning to full health in time to begin the Colts' offseason program. With T.Y. Hilton scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent, Campbell is facing prime opportunity to secure one of Indianapolis' top receiver spots alongside Michael Pittman for 2021.

Courtland Sutton WR | DEN
Broncos' Courtland Sutton: Showing progress
Sutton (knee) posted a video of him jogging via his official Twitter account.
There was a ton of hope that Sutton could push himself into a borderline top ten receiver in the league in his third NFL season. It didn't work out that way as he missed the Broncos' opener against Tennessee with a shoulder injury and went down with an ACL tear in Week 2, just three catches in to the campaign. With that in mind, 2021 will be enormous for Sutton. Not only will it be a contract year for the SMU product, but how the 25-year0ld helps lead a very young offense could determine the path of the franchise and which players (and coaches) will be around in 2022. Showing signs of recovery just four months after going down in Pittsburgh is a step in the right direction.

Equanimeous St. Brown WR | SF
Packers' Equanimeous St. Brown: Ready to face Rams
St. Brown (knee) is not listed on Thursday's injury report, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.
St. Brown had his practice reps capped due to a lingering knee injury this week as usual, but he's all set for Saturday's NFC divisional-round matchup against the Rams. He'll handle his usual offensive role behind Davante Adams, Allen Lazard and Marquez Valdes-Scantling.

Chris Godwin WR | TB
Buccaneers' Chris Godwin: Limited in practice Thursday
Godwin (hip/quadriceps) was a limited practice participant Thursday, John DeShazier of the Saints' official site reports.
With no indication either of his injuries is serious, Godwin should be ready for Sunday's game in New Orleans. The Saints limited him to nine catches for 120 yards on 13 targets in two regular-season matchups, but Godwin approaches the weekend with a four-game TD streak.

Mike Evans WR | SF
Buccaneers' Mike Evans: Limited in practice
Evans (knee) was a limited practice participant Thursday, John DeShazier of the Saints' official site reports.
Back-to-back limited practices put Evans ahead of where he was last week. He logged just one limited session leading up to Tampa Bay's win over Washington, ultimately catching six passes for 119 yards while playing 84 percent of defensive snaps. There's little reason to think he'd miss the game against New Orleans this Sunday, hoping to remedy his poor track record against the Saints. Evans has averaged only 51.4 yards per game in 13 career matchups, struggling against top CB Marshon Lattimore the past couple seasons.

Cooper Kupp WR | SEA
Rams' Cooper Kupp: Listed as questionable
Kupp (knee) is listed as questionable for Saturday's playoff game in Green Bay, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.
Kupp played through the same injury last week, catching four of nine targets for 78 yards while playing 86 percent of offensive snaps in the 30-20 win over Seattle. He appears on track to play again, with coach Sean McVay noting Wednesday that he expects the wide receiver to be ready by Sunday.

Cole Beasley WR | NYG
Bills' Cole Beasley: Limited but good for Saturday
Beasley (knee) practiced on a limited basis for the third straight time Thursday but does not have an injury designation for Saturday's game against the Ravens, Chris Brown of the Bills' official site reports.
The valuable slot receiver is clearly playing below 100 percent, but it's also pretty much a certainty that he'll be out there Saturday for the primetime Saturday night matchup.
-
Stefon Diggs WR | WAS
Bills' Stefon Diggs: Ready for divisional round
Diggs (oblique) practiced fully Thursday and doesn't have an injury designation for Saturday's game against the Ravens, Chris Brown of the Bills' official site reports.
Diggs is probably the most important player for the Bills after Josh Allen, and he looks like he'll be close to 100 percent for Buffalo this weekend in its biggest game in over two decades.

Khadarel Hodge WR | SF
Browns' KhaDarel Hodge: Returns to roster
Hodge was activated Thursday from the reserve/COVID-19 list, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.
Hodge got two targets on 42 percent snap share in the Browns' Week 17 win over Pittsburgh before landing on the COVID list for a rematch in the wild-card round. Rookie wideout Donovan Peoples-Jones then took 69 percent of snaps in the 48-37 win last week, catching one of two targets for eight yards. It isn't clear which of the two wide receivers will handle the No. 3 role this Sunday in Kansas City, and it's possible they share snaps behind starters Jarvis Landry and Rashard Higgins.
