Dorsett (concussion) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Cowboys.

As is Mohamed Sanu (ankle), which means that New England's Week 12 wide receiver corps will be headed by Julian Edelman (shoulder), along with N'Keal Harry and Jakobi Meyers.

Grant (ankle) is ruled out to return against the Browns on Sunday, Armando Salguero of the Miami Herald reports.

Grant suffered an ankle injury during the first quarter of Sunday's contest. In his stead, expect Allen Hurns to serve as the No. 3 receiver behind DeVante Parker and Albert Wilson. Grant's absence also is a notable blow to Miami's special teams, as he normally handles both punt and kick return duties.

Foster (hamstring) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Broncos.

Hamstring injuries are tough with receivers, but Foster could try to stretch it out and attempt a return. If he's unable to shake the injury, Andre Roberts and Isaiah McKenzie would be in line to see an increase in snaps.

Dorsett (concussion) is not expected to play Sunday against the Cowboys, Andrew Callahan of The Boston Herald reports.

Confirmation of Dorsett's anticipated absence will arrive upon the release of the Patriots' inactives in advance of Sunday's 4:25 ET kickoff. With Mohamed Sanu (ankle) also a candidate to miss the game, N'Keal Harry and Jakobi Meyers could see expanded roles Week 12.

Grant is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Browns due to an ankle injury, Adam H. Beasley of the Miami Herald reports.

Grant limped off the field under his own power, but he had to be carted to the locker room from the sideline. As long as Grant is unable to retake the field, Marcus Sherels will be a candidate to field kick and punt returns.

Arcega-Whiteside is expected to serve as one of the Eagles' starting wideouts Sunday against the Seahawks with both Alshon Jeffery (ankle) and Nelson Agholor (knee) inactive for the contest, Mike Kaye of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.

The Eagles haven't announced their starting lineup for Week 12, but Jordan Matthews (85 percent offensive snap share, one catch for six yards on six targets) and Arcega-Whiteside (25 percent, one catch for 29 yards on one target) trailed only a healthy Agholor in terms of usage in the Week 11 loss to the Patriots. None of Matthews, Arcega-Whiteside, Greg Ward and Mack Hollins seemingly represent anything more than punt plays in DFS or dart throws in season-long leagues, however, as the quartet has combined for just 14 receptions across 36 targets all season. Instead, Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia speculates the Eagles will make ample use of 12 personnel (two tight ends), meaning that Zach Ertz and Dallas Goedert may end up profiling as the team's top pass catchers.

Sims (coach's decision) is officially inactive for Sunday's game against the Lions.

Sims was recently brought up from the practice squad due to Paul Richardson's hamstring injury last week, but he has yet to see a snap. In Sims' stead, Kelvin Harmon and Steven Sims are expected to handle depth receiving duties Sunday.

Ward is expected to see offensive snaps Sunday in the Eagles' game against the Seahawks, Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

With the Eagles down their top two wide receivers in Alshon Jeffery (ankle) and Nelson Agholor (knee), Jordan Matthews, J.J. Arcega-Whiteside, Mack Hollins and Ward remain as the lone healthy options at the position. Ward, who was called up from the practice squad in light of the injuries, previously made his NFL debut in Week 3, playing two offensive snaps. Though Ward's snap count should increase a little in his return to the roster, Zangaro suggests the Eagles will likely make "a ton" of use of 12 personnel (two tight ends) rather than relying heavily on a lackluster wideout corps.

Agholor (knee) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Seahawks.

The absences of Agholor and Alshon Jeffery (ankle) will leave the Eagles extremely shorthanded at wide receiver, as the underwhelming quartet of Jordan Matthews, J.J. Arcega-Whiteside, Mack Hollins and Greg Ward represent the remaining options at the position. While all four receivers should see their profiles in the offense expand Sunday to some extent, quarterback Carson Wentz could be inclined to funnel even more targets to tight ends Zach Ertz and Dallas Goedert, who have held more consistent roles in the passing attack this season.

Morgan (illness) is officially active for Sunday's game against the Steelers, Marisa Contipelli of the Bengals' official site reports.

Morgan didn't participate in practice this week while dealing with the illness, but as evidenced by this news, he has shaken off the ailment. He likely won't impact the offense much in Sunday's game as he's caught just three passes for 18 yards this season.
