  • Nelson Agholor WR | BAL

    Eagles' Nelson Agholor: Not at practice

    Agholor (knee) isn't practicing Friday, Martin Frank of The Delaware News Journal reports.

    Agholor returned from a one-game absence in last week's loss to the Dolphins, catching three of six targets for 41 yards while playing 89 percent of offensive snaps. There hasn't been any report of a setback, but back-to-back absences from practice suggest he's still dealing with some discomfort. The Eagles will release their final Week 14 injury report Saturday, as they're playing in a Monday game against the Giants.

  • Steven Sims WR | ARI

    Redskins' Steven Sims: Primed for first NFL start

    Sims is expected to replace Trey Quinn (concussion) as Washington's top slot receiver Sunday in Green Bay, Kyle Stackpole of the Redskins' official site reports.

    Sims filled in after Quinn suffered the concussion early in last week's 29-21 win over the Panthers, ultimately catching three of four targets for 29 yards while playing 58 percent of the offensive snaps. The undrafted rookie isn't a great bet for more than three or four targets, but he has shown some explosiveness with a 65-yard rushing touchdown (Week 5) and a 91-yard kick return score (Week 12). Given how little Quinn has done this year, it isn't out the question for Sims to take the No. 3 receiver job on a more permanent basis.

  • Adam Thielen WR | PIT

    Vikings' Adam Thielen: Looking unlikely for Sunday

    Thielen (hamstring) isn't practicing Friday, Andrew Krammer of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

    A third consecutive absence from practice leaves Thielen unlikely to play in Sunday's game against the Lions. He was a limited participant last week, ultimately getting ruled out for Monday's loss to the Seahawks. The downgrade in participation level hints at a setback, though neither player nor team has said anything to that effect. Another update will be available later Friday, when the Vikings release their final Week 14 injury report.

  • Buccaneers' Justin Watson: Set to return punts

    Watson is expected to serve as the Buccaneers' top punt returner versus the Colts on Sunday, Eduardo A. Encina of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

    Watson's opportunity comes with T.J. Logan out for the season with a broken thumb and Scott Miller (hamstring) expected to miss Week 14. The second-year receiver is coming off a Week 13 showing in which he logged a season-high 11 snaps on offense but failed to catch his lone target.

  • Scott Miller WR | CHI

    Buccaneers' Scott Miller: Out for another game

    Miller (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Colts, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

    Miller's absence for a second straight game could leave a few extra snaps available for No. 3 receiver Breshad Perriman, who responded to the same scenario last week with season highs for both receptions (five) and yards (87). Meanwhile, Justin Watson should get a bit of run as the No. 4 receiver, though he played just 15 percent of snaps on offense in the Week 13 win over Jacksonville.

  • Browns' Odell Beckham: Limited participant in practice

    Beckham (groin) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

    Just like the previous two weeks, Beckham had his reps capped Wednesday and Thursday on account of the lingering groin issue, but there isn't any real concern about the wideout's availability for game day. While there probably won't be much drama with regard to Beckham's status for Sunday's game against the Bengals, he started a small media firestorm Thursday, when he was non-committal when asked if he wanted to return to the Browns in 2020, according to Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer. Beckham is on the Browns' books through 2023, but since he's already been paid most of the $65 million he was guaranteed from the contract extension he signed last season, Cleveland could move on from him without any major consequences to its salary-cap situation. The 27-year-old hasn't lived up to expectations in his first season with Cleveland, posting 57 catches (28th in the NFL) for 805 yards (23rd) and two touchdowns through the team's first 12 games.

  • Cowboys' Cedrick Wilson: On crutches Thursday

    Wilson was spotted on crutches following Thursday's loss to the Bears, noting that while an X-Ray he received did not show structural damage to his injured left knee, he will undergo an MRI Friday, Michael Gehlken of the Dallas Morning News reports.

    Wilson appeared to tweak his left knee during the waning moments of the fourth quarter while attempting to haul in a long pass. It sounds as if the receiver's injury may be serious, in which case Devin Smith would figure to see more snaps. Wilson only has five catches for 46 yards on the year, however, so his absence shouldn't create much of a gap in the Cowboys' passing attack.

  • Allen Robinson WR | DET

    Bears' Allen Robinson: Pair of touchdown grabs in win

    Robinson secured five of eight targets for 48 yards and two touchdowns in the Bears' 31-24 win over the Cowboys on Thursday.

    Robinson extended his touchdown streak to three games with scoring grabs of five and eight yards in the second quarter. The veteran had totaled at least 86 yards in three of his four games prior to Thursday, so his yardage tally against the Cowboys represented a downturn. Nevertheless, Robinson appears to have a locked-in target share, making him a valued fantasy asset alongside an improving Mitchell Trubisky in a Week 15 showdown against the Packers a week from Sunday.

  • Michael Gallup WR | WAS

    Cowboys' Michael Gallup: Eclipses century mark in loss

    Gallup secured six of 10 targets for 109 yards in the Cowboys' 31-24 loss to the Bears on Thursday.

    Gallup either co-led or paced the team in receptions, receiving yardage and targets, and he crossed the 100-yard mark for the fourth time overall on the season. The second-year wideout has also seen double-digit targets in three of his last five games, although he hasn't scored in four consecutive contests. However, with the Cowboys likely to continue focusing heavily on the air attack while trying to nail down an underwhelming NFC East over the final three games, Gallup should have plenty of opportunities to snap that dubious streak. He'll look to accomplish just that against the Rams in Week 15, a week from Sunday.

  • Amari Cooper WR | LV

    Cowboys' Amari Cooper: Receiving score in Week 14 loss

    Cooper secured six of eight targets for 83 yards and a touchdown in the Cowboys' 31-24 loss to the Bears on Thursday.

    Cooper co-led the Cowboys in receptions while checking in second to Michael Gallup in receiving yardage and targets. The 25-year-old was on the receiving end of Dak Prescott's only passing touchdown of the night as well, securing a 19-yard scoring toss with 4:29 remaining that brought Dallas to within 31-21. The trip to the end zone snapped a three-game touchdown-less streak for Cooper, his longest such stretch of the campaign. He'll look to get back over the 100-yard mark for the first time since Week 10 when he sees the Rams' stingy secondary in a Week 15 matchup, a week from Sunday.
