Lockett (shin) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game in Philadelphia, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Lockett benefitted from a well-timed bye after he picked up a shin injury during a Week 10 win over the 49ers. He should be fine to handle his usual role come Sunday, facing an Eagles defense that's had some issues covering wide receivers but has been much better in recent weeks.

Harris (hamstring) has been declared out for Sunday's game against the Panthers, Amie Just of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

Harris was unable to practice at all during the week and will be forced to sit out a second consecutive game. Taysom Hill and Ted Ginn should fill in returning kicks.

Patrick (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bills after practicing in a limited fashion again Friday, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.

Patrick sat out Wednesday's practice before logging back-to-back sessions Thursday and Friday. If he does suit up for Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET contest, look for Patrick to continue to work as the Broncos' No. 2 wide receiver behind Courtland Sutton. In his return to game action this past weekend, Patrick -- who had fractured his left hand in Week 1 -- started opposite Sutton and hauled in four of his seven targets for 77 yards in a 27-23 loss to Minnesota.

Agholor (knee) was held out of Friday's practice and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Seattle.

Absent from practice Wednesday through Friday, the struggling slot receiver nonetheless seems to have a shot at playing, as coach Doug Pederson mentioned Friday morning that Agholor is trending in the right direction. The Eagles also have Jordan Howard (shoulder) and Alshon Jeffery (ankle) listed as questionable, so their inactive list will need to be monitored before the 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff Sunday. Jordan Matthews, Mack Hollins and J.J. Arcega-Whiteside are depth options at wide receiver.

Shepard has been cleared from the concussion protocol and will play in Sunday's game against the Bears.

A full practice participant throughout the week, Shepard gained clearance Friday afternoon from an independent neurologist. He'll suit up for the first time since Week 5, joining Golden Tate and Darius Slayton in three-wide formations. A road matchup with the Bears defense isn't easy, but there should at least be a few extra targets to go around with tight ends Evan Engram (foot) and Rhett Ellison (concussion) both ruled out for Sunday's game.

Cain could be utilized as the Steelers' third wide receiver Sunday at Cincinnati, Brian Batko of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Cain signed with the Steelers off the Colts' practice squad last Saturday, but he may find an immediate offensive role for his new team with JuJu Smith-Schuster (concussion) sidelined. A quality performance could go a long way toward securing the 23-year-old's spot on the 53-man roster.

Johnson (concussion) doesn't carry an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Bengals.

Johnson practiced fully all week, which puts him in line to play Sunday. He'll play a key role opposite fellow wideout James Washington this weekend, with JuJu Smith-Schuster (concussion/knee) already having been ruled out on Friday's final Week 12 injury report. In that context, Johnson -- who caught two passes for 17 yards while logging 38 snaps before exiting Week 11's loss to the Browns -- appears to be in a good spot for a bounce-back effort, facing an 0-10 Cincinnati squad that has allowed an average of 258.1 passing yards per game.

Smith-Schuster (concussion/knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game at Cincinnati, Brian Batko of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

As expected, Smith-Schuster will be sidelined Week 12, the result of a concussion and knee injury suffered last Thursday at Cleveland. While the knee issue isn't a long-term concern, his journey through the protocol for head injuries ultimately will determine his availability. In his absence, Diontae Johnson and and James Washington are in line to head the team's wideout corps Sunday.

Beckham (groin) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game against the Dolphins, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Limited in practice by a groin injury this week, Beckham nonetheless will be available for the Browns' Week 12 tilt. He'll be looking to take advantage of a Miami defense that has surrendered 8.7 yards per target and 16 touchdowns to wide receivers in 10 games this season.

Morgan (illness) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Steelers, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.

The 23-year-old has been sidelined at practice all week due to the illness, so he appears to be a toss-up for Sunday's game. Damion Willis could see increased snaps if Morgan is unable to suit up.
