Smith (hamstring) is inactive for Sunday's game at Baltimore.

Smith mustered a pair of limited practices to end Week 13 prep, after which he told EJ Smith of The Philadelphia Inquirer that he was unsure if he'd be able to return to action Sunday. Ian Rapoport of NFL Network then reported late Saturday that there wasn't much optimism regarding the wide receiver's potential to play this weekend, and Smith's status ultimately came down to a pregame workout, per Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer. With his lack of availability now confirmed along with Johnny Wilson (hamstring), Smith will cede WR reps to the likes of Jahan Dotson, Ainias Smith, Britain Covey and Parris Campbell behind top option A.J. Brown.

Doubs (concussion) was spotted in full uniform taking part in the Packers' practice session Sunday, Ryan Wood of USA Today reports.

While the Packers won't have to reveal their first Week 14 injury report until Monday, Doubs' presence on the field for an unofficial practice suggests he's made some progress through the NFL's five-step concussion protocol. After suffering the head injury last Sunday in the Packers' Week 12 win over the 49ers, Doubs didn't practice in any fashion this past week before he was inactive for Green Bay's 30-17 victory over Miami on Thanksgiving Day. In addition to advancing to full practice participation, Doubs will also need to gain clearance from an independent neurologist before exiting the protocol and putting himself on track to play in the Packers' Week 14 matchup with the Lions this coming Thursday.

Young (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's matchup against the Jets.

Young suited up for four of Seattle's previous five games, but he didn't log more than five offensive snaps in any contest during that span. The third-year wideout has yet to record a catch this season and has just one target, which came in Week 1 against Denver. As was the case in his first two years with the club, Young has worked primarily on special teams in 2024.

Smith (hamstring) remains listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Ravens and is viewed as a game-time call, with a decision on his status likely to come down to the pregame workout, Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Though Ian Rapoport and Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reported late Saturday that the Eagles didn't have much optimism that Smith would be ready to play Sunday, the receiver seems to be pushing to suit up in Week 13. The Eagles will wait and see how Smith feels coming out of the workout before providing official word on whether he'll play around 90 minutes prior to the 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff, when the team be required to submit its inactive list.

Osborn (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Colts, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.

For the third week in a row, Osborn will be a healthy scratch as the Patriots roll with a wide-receiver corps of DeMario Douglas, Kayshon Boutte, Kendrick Bourne, Ja'Lynn Polk and Javon Baker. Osborn's next opportunity to play will be Week 15 against the Cardinals on Sunday, Dec. 15.

Irwin (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's matchup against Pittsburgh.

Irwin had frequently been a healthy inactive early this season, but he saw more opportunity when Tee Higgins was out with an injury Weeks 8 to 10. With Higgins back in Week 11, though, Irwin logged just three offensive snaps, and he won't play at all Week 13 following the Bengals' bye. With Charlie Jones (groin) also inactive Sunday, rookie Isaiah Williams could be asked to handle punts and may also get a few opportunities on offense.

Chark is active for Sunday's game against the Falcons, Eric Smith of the Chargers' official site reports.

Chark is back in the Chargers' wideout mix Sunday, but with Ladd McConkey, Quentin Johnston and Joshua Palmer also on hand, Chark will remain a speculative fantasy option until he turns in a full and productive game.

Jones (groin) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Steelers.

Jones was limited Wednesday and Thursday before not practicing Friday and drawing a doubtful tag. The second-year wideout has played a limited offensive role this season but has been Cincinnati's top kick returner over the last four weeks. In Jones' absence, rookie Jermaine Burton may get more kick-return opportunities.

Hutchinson (shoulder) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Texans.

Hutchinson will miss his first game of the season after he was a limited participant in practice throughout the week due to the shoulder injury. With Hutchinson donning street clothes Week 13, Robert Woods and Jared Wayne will serve as the Texans' depth receivers behind the starting wideout trio of Nico Collins, Tank Dell and John Metchie.

Douglas (ankle) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Colts.

After being deemed a limited participant on all three of New England's practice reports this week, Douglas headed into the weekend listed as questionable. With his active status confirmed, the 2023 sixth-rounder -- who tops New England's WR corps in catches (48), receiving yards (477) and targets (66) -- will have an opportunity to remain a key target for QB Drake Maye, which puts the wideout on the Week 13 PPR radar. Over his last four contests, Douglas has combined for 20 catches (on 27 targets) for 206 yards.
