Drummond (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Giants.

Drummond was elevated from the Falcons' practice squad Saturday for the first time this season. However, he will not suit up Sunday due to KhaDarel Hodge (ribs) being cleared to play. Drummond's next opportunity to be elevated to the active roster will be for Week 17 against the Commanders on Sunday, Dec. 29.

Coker (quadriceps) is listed as active Sunday against the Cardinals, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

Coker sat out Weeks 12-14 due to a quadriceps injury and then was limited in the final two sessions of Week 16 prep due to the same issue. He'll play through the health concern for a second straight game, however, as he takes on an Arizona defense that has allowed the ninth-most YPT (8.33) to opposing wide receivers this season. Coker also may have a bit more sway in Carolina's passing game due to Xavier Legette (hip) being inactive.

Jones (groin) is listed as inactive for Sunday's game versus the Browns.

Jones has been sidelined since Week 8, but he appears to be inching closer to a return. However, that will have to wait another week. As a result, Khalil Herbert and Isaiah Williams figure to remain the Bengals' top kick and punt returners.

Hodge (ribs) is active for Sunday's game against the Giants.

Hodge had a LP/DNP/LP practice log this week while working through a rib injury, and the 29-year-old wideout has done enough to suit up for Sunday's contest. Hodge has logged 11 snaps on offense in the Falcons' three games since the Week 12 bye and has not registered a target over that span.

Hutchinson caught his lone target for nine yards in Saturday's 27-19 loss to Kansas City in Week 16.

Hutchinson was on the field for 34 offensive snaps -- the most in his last four outings -- as John Metchie (shoulder) was inactive for the game. An injury that forced Tank Dell (kneecap) out of Saturday's game could grant more opportunities for Hutchinson going forward, although Robert Woods (34 snaps) was the main beneficiary of that injury Week 16.

Woods caught three of six targets for 19 yards and returned one kickoff for 31 yards in Saturday's 27-19 loss to the Chiefs in Week 16.

Woods was on the field for a season-high 34 offensive snaps, a bump in activity due to an injury to Tank Dell (kneecap). The Texans have clinched a playoff spot but will be without Stefon Diggs (knee) and potentially Dell in the postseason, which creates an opportunity for Woods. It should be noted that John Metchie (shoulder) was inactive for Saturday's game; he moved ahead of Woods on the depth chart as a result of the Diggs' injury in Week 8.

Moore (concussion) remains listed as questionable but is expected to be available for Sunday's game versus the Cardinals, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Moore was a limited participant during practice Wednesday and Thursday before being listed as a full participant Friday. He still has to be cleared by an independent neurologist before exiting the five-step protocol, but the Panthers expect him to get the green light to play. With rookie wideout Xavier Legette (hip) already ruled out, Moore should have a spot available in three-receiver sets alongside Adam Thielen and Jalen Coker (quadricep), who is also questionable but expected to play.

Coker (quadricep) remains listed as questionable but is expected to play Sunday against the Cardinals, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Coker missed three straight games with a quad injury before returning to action in last week's loss to the Cowboys. The undrafted rookie then popped back up on Thursday's injury report with a quad issue, ending the week as a limited participant in two straight practices. Though the quad may still be nagging him a bit, Coker looks like he'll still be able to suit up and play consecutive games for the first time since Weeks 9 and 10. With Xavier Legette (hip) having already been ruled out, Coker and David Moore (concussion) -- who is also listed as questionable but expected to play -- should fill top-three roles at receiver alongside veteran Adam Thielen.

Hill (wrist) is listed as questionable but is expected to play Sunday versus the 49ers, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Hill is dealing with a lingering wrist injury that kept him sidelined during practice Wednesday. He logged a full session Thursday before downgrading to limited activity Friday, resulting in him taking a designation into the weekend. Though all signs point to Hill suiting up Sunday as Miami looks to keep its playoff hopes alive, the wideout won't be formally cleared until the Dolphins release their inactive list 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff. With Jaylen Waddle (knee) considered doubtful to play, it's likely that Hill, Malik Washington and River Cracraft will line up as Miami's starting wideouts while tight end Jonnu Smith continues to factor heavily into the passing game.

Austin recorded four receptions on five targets for 65 yards in Saturday's 34-17 loss to the Ravens.

Austin led the Steelers in receiving yards and tied for the team lead in targets due to George Pickens (hamstring) still being sidelined. The former had only six yards at halftime, though he came alive on Pittsburgh's second possession of the second half with two catches totaling 60 yards -- highlighted by an impressive toe-tapping catch that went for 44 yards. Austin has topped 60 receiving yards in consecutive games and half of his last six contests.
