KeAndre Lambert-Smith WR | LAC
Chargers' KeAndre Lambert-Smith: Healthy scratch Week 11
Lambert-Smith (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Jaguars.
It's the first time this season that the rookie fifth-rounder is a healthy scratch, and with the Chargers on a bye Week 12, his next opportunity to play is Week 13 against the Raiders on Sunday, Nov. 13. Derius Davis and Trayveon Williams are slated to serve as the Chargers' primary returners on kickoffs and punts in Lambert-Smith's absence.

Jaylin Lane WR | WAS
Commanders' Jaylin Lane: Sustains hip injury Sunday
Lane was forced out of Sunday's game against the Dolphins in Madrid during the third quarter due to a hip injury and is listed as questionable to return.
The rookie wideout hauled in his lone target for a 13-yard gain and returned one punt for zero yards before checking out of the contest with the hip issue.

Hunter Renfrow WR | CAR
Panthers' Hunter Renfrow: Inactive again Week 11
Renfrow (coach's decision) is a healthy scratch for Sunday's matchup against Atlanta, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.
This marks the fifth straight week that Renfrow is inactive as a healthy scratch. While the veteran wideout has had a few nice moments when active this season, it's clear that Carolina is prioritizing developing its young wideouts even as the team has an outside chance at claiming a playoff spot.

Jamal Agnew WR | ATL
Falcons' Jamal Agnew: Good to go Week 11
Agnew (foot) is active for Sunday's game against the Panthers, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.
Agnew ended Week 11 prep with back-to-back limited practices, and he has progressed enough in his recovery from a foot injury to play in Sunday's NFC South tilt. He has primarily served as a returner on special teams and has not recorded a target in seven regular-season games.

Savion Williams WR | GB
Packers' Savion Williams: Giving it a go Sunday
Williams (foot) is active for Sunday's Week 11 game against the Giants, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.
Williams was limited in practice throughout the week due to a lingering foot injury. The rookie wideout will play through the issue for a second straight contest, though his already limited role on offense could be further reduced with fellow wideout Matthew Golden (shoulder) returning from a one-week absence.

Braxton Berrios WR | HOU
Texans' Braxton Berrios: Won't play against Tennessee
Berrios (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Titans.
Berrios will observe Sunday's AFC South tilt in street clothes while the Texans go with five active wide receivers in Nico Collins, Jayden Higgins, Christian Kirk, Jaylin Noel and Xavier Hutchinson. Berrios' next opportunity to play is Thursday against Buffalo.

Josh Palmer WR | BUF
Bills' Joshua Palmer: Active Sunday
Palmer (knee/ankle) is active for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers.
In his first game action since Week 6, Palmer -- who practiced fully this past week -- should have an opportunity to make his mark versus Tampa Bay, with fellow WR Keon Coleman (healthy scratch, second on the Bills with 49 targets) and TE Dalton Kincaid (hamstring, third on the team with 36 targets) both inactive. Prior to being sidelined, Palmer put up a 14/234/0 receiving line on 20 targets in six outings.

Quentin Johnston WR | LAC
Chargers' Quentin Johnston: Ready to play Sunday
Johnston (shin) is active for Sunday's game against the Jaguars.
Though Johnston carried a questionable tag into Sunday, he didn't appear to be at any major risk of missing the contest after he was able to turn in a full practice Friday. After he had been limited to between zero and six targets over four straight appearances from Weeks 5 through 9, Johnston saw his involvement in the passing attack pick back up in the Chargers' win over the Steelers this past Sunday, when he finished with five catches for 42 yards on 10 targets. However, due to the presence of fellow wideouts Ladd McConkey and Keenan Allen as well as the emergence of rookie tight end Oronde Gadsden, Johnston's target counts could remain highly volatile from week to week.

Calvin Ridley WR | TEN
Titans' Calvin Ridley: Active versus Houston
Ridley (hamstring) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Texans.
Ridley, who had missed three consecutive games prior to the Titans' Week 10 bye, was able to log limited practices Wednesday through Friday, before approaching Sunday's contest listed as questionable. With his availability versus Houston confirmed, barring any setbacks or in-game limitations, Ridley is poised to reclaim his key role in Tennessee's passing offense. Prior to being sidelined, Ridley logged a a 16-290-0 line on 35 targets through five games, plus the six snaps that he saw Oct. 12 before injuring his hamstring.
