Boyd (foot) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Colts.

Boyd was listed as DNP on Wednesday and Thursday but returned to a full practice Friday and is good to go for Sunday's divisional matchup. He's topped 50 receiving yards in a game just once all season and has yet to catch a touchdown. He's far from fantasy relevancy on this Titans team.

Valdes-Scantling (chest) didn't practice Friday due to an illness, Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football reports.

After Valdes-Scantling was held out of drills Thursday due to a chest injury, there was an expectation that he'd take part in some capacity one day later, but an ailment kept him off the practice field. Saturday's injury report will give a sense of the wide receiver's chances to suit up Monday at Green Bay.

The Ravens have waived Johnson.

Adam Schefter of ESPN relays that as a result of the move, Johnson will go on waivers and can be claimed Monday at 4:00 p.m. ET. It remains to be seen if the veteran wideout will be claimed, but either way Johnson now will have a chance to play elsewhere following his brief and unproductive stint with the Ravens.

Olave (concussion) was a limited practice participant Friday, Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football reports.

Olave returned to practice Thursday as a limited participant, with Saints coach Darren Rizzi telling reporters that the wideout "got some great news" but is "probably doubtful" to play in Monday's game at Green Bay. The Saints haven't ruled Olave out, however, and it sounds like he may return Week 17 or 18 if he isn't back Monday night.

Westbrook-Ikhine (ankle) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's contest in Indianapolis.

Westbrook-Ikhine was held out of drills Wednesday and Thursday due to an ankle injury, but his return to a full session Friday has cleared him for Week 16 action. With Tyler Boyd (foot) following the same practice regimen this week and also entering the weekend without a designation, the top of the Titans' receiving corps is good to go for Sunday. As a result, Westbrook-Ikhine will remain a TD-dependent option while working with new starting quarterback Mason Rudolph.

Brown (knee) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game at Washington.

He never appeared in real danger of missing the game, listed under knee/rest after a limited practice Thursday. Brown was limited again at Friday's practice but should be ready for his usual workload this Sunday as the Eagles look to clinch the NFC East.

Means (ankle) remained sidelined for Friday's practice, Ross Jackson of WWL Louisiana reports.

Means hasn't played since Week 8 and was designated for return from injured reserve on Dec. 4, so the Saints have less than seven days before they need to make a decision on whether or not to activate the rookie wideout. The Saints go on the road for a Monday night matchup with the Packers this week.

Valdes-Scantling (chest) isn't practicing Friday, Ross Jackson of WWL Louisiana reports.

Back-to-back absences hint at legitimate concern regarding his availability against the Packers on Monday. The short-handed Saints also have been practicing without QB Derek Carr (hand), RB Alvin Kamara (ankle) and WR Bub Means (ankle, IR), potentially leaving the offensive burden on unproven players like QB Spencer Rattler, RB Kendre Miller and WR Kevin Austin. Their healthy wide receivers besides Austin are Dante Pettis, Cedrick Wilson and Mason Tipton.

Moore (concussion) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

Xavier Legette (hip) is out, and Jalen Coker (quadriceps) is questionable, so Moore could be looking at every-down wideout snaps if he gains clearance for Sunday. Moore was able to practice fully Friday, suggesting Moore has a good chance to suit up versus Arizona. Moore has posted a 28-286-1 line on 50 targets this season.

Baker (concussion) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's matchup against the Bills.

Baker was a full participant in practice Thursday and Friday, and he's now cleared to return for the Patriots' Week 16 away game. The rookie wide receiver and kick returner likely will keep operating as part of the special teams unit for New England as he did before he suffered his concussion.
