Packers' Dontayvion Wicks: Two catches in Week 12 win
Rotowire
Wicks brought in two of four targets for 32 yards in the Packers' 23-6 win over the Vikings on Sunday.
Wicks finished with the second-most receiving yards and targets on the day for the Packers despite his modest output in both categories. The third-year pro has dealt with a lingering calf issue and has missed two games overall, but Wicks does have multiple catches in seven of the nine games he's appeared in. He'll have a chance at more volume during a Week 13 Thanksgiving Day showdown against the Lions that could develop into a high-scoring affair.

Packers' Dontayvion Wicks: Active in Week 12
Rotowire
Wicks (calf) is active for Sunday's game versus the Vikings, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.
Fellow WRs Christian Watson (knee), Romeo Doubs (wrist) and Bo Melton (shoulder) were cleared Friday, and now Wicks and Savion Williams (foot) also are confirmed to be available Week 12. Meanwhile, Matthew Golden (shoulder/wrist) won't suit up. Wicks thus will be on hand for targets from QB Jordan Love alongside Watson, Doubs and even Williams, but the third-year pro hasn't scored a touchdown or surpassed 50 receiving yards in any of his eight appearances this season.

Packers' Dontayvion Wicks: Status in question for Sunday
Rotowire
Wicks (calf) is listed as questionable for Sunday's contest versus the Vikings, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
Among seven wide receivers listed on the Packers' Week 12 injury report, Christian Watson (knee), Romeo Doubs (wrist) and Bo Melton (shoulder) don't have designations, while Wicks, Matthew Golden (shoulder/wrist) and Savion Williams (foot) are listed as questionable, and Jayden Reed (foot/shoulder, IR) was ruled out. Wicks' status will be clarified approximately 90 minutes before Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff, but even if he's available he's mustered just an 18-181-0 line on 30 targets across eight appearances this season.

Rotowire
Wicks (calf) was limited at Thursday's practice.
Wicks has yet to upgrade to full during Week 12 prep as he deals with a lingering calf injury. He was joined as limited Thursday by fellow WRs Christian Watson (knee), Romeo Doubs (wrist), Matthew Golden (shoulder/wrist), Savion Williams (foot) and even Bo Melton (shoulder). Ultimately, Friday's practice report will unveil who among the group doesn't carry a designation ahead of Sunday's contest versus the Vikings.

Packers' Dontayvion Wicks: Limited in practice Wednesday
Rotowire
Wicks (calf) was limited at practice Wednesday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
Wicks managed to play through his calf injury Week 11, when he secured one of two targets for nine yards during Green Bay's win over the Giants, but he's still managing the issue ahead of Sunday's divisional matchup against the Vikings. He will have two more chances to upgrade to full practice reps before the Packers are forced to decide whether to tag Wicks with an injury designation for Week 12.

Packers' Dontayvion Wicks: Limited to one reception
Rotowire
Wicks was targeted twice and caught one pass for nine yards in Sunday's 27-20 victory over the Giants.
Wicks finished third among Packers wideouts in snaps, but he saw only a quarter of the season-high eight targets he drew in Week 10. He's getting some opportunities, but he has racked up only 18 receptions and 181 yards through eight appearances this season, and his playing time will likely take a hit when Jayden Reed (collarbone/foot, IR) is ready to rejoin the fray.

Packers' Dontayvion Wicks: Cleared for Sunday
Rotowire
Wicks (calf) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game at the Giants, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
Christian Watson (knee/hamstring) and Romeo Doubs (chest) also avoided injury designations, while Matthew Golden (shoulder) is listed as questionable. Wicks seems most in danger of losing snaps to Golden if the rookie returns after missing Week 10.

Packers' Dontayvion Wicks: Remains limited in practice
Rotowire
Wicks (calf) practiced in a limited fashion Thursday.
For four weeks in a row, Wicks has been listed with the calf injury that sidelined him Weeks 8 and 9. In his return to action Monday against the Eagles, he hauled in four of eight targets for 38 yards on a 65 percent snap share, which is more or less in line with his typical workload. The Packers continue to deal with a number of injuries in the receiving corps -- also, Christian Watson (knee/hamstring), Matthew Golden (shoulder) and Savion Williams (foot) -- all of whom were limited Thursday. The statuses of all four players may be clarified ahead of Sunday's game at the Giants once Green Bay posts its final Week 11 practice report Friday.

Packers' Dontayvion Wicks: Still dealing with calf issue
Rotowire
Wicks (calf) was a limited participant at Wednesday's walkthrough.
Wicks sat out Weeks 8 and 9 due to a calf injury but returned to action Monday against the Eagles, hauling in four of eight targets for 38 yards while playing 67 percent of the snaps. His return coincided with an absence from Matthew Golden (shoulder), and both of them plus Savion Williams (foot) logged capped sessions Wednesday, while Romeo Doubs (chest) was listed as full. In the end, the state of the Packers' receiving corps is up in the air ahead of Sunday's contest at the Giants.

Packers' Dontayvion Wicks: Busy night in return
Rotowire
Wicks hauled in four of eight targets for 38 yards in the Packers' 10-7 loss to the Eagles on Monday night.
Wicks' return from a two-game absence due to a calf injury saw him log a team-high number of targets while also finishing as the runner-up in receptions and receiving yards. Matthew Golden's (shoulder) inactive status and Romeo Doubs' exit with a chest injury both helped Wicks' cause Monday night, and the latter could be in for an expanded role again in a Week 11 road matchup against the Giants if at least one of his two teammates is sidelined.

Packers' Dontayvion Wicks: Suiting up Monday
Rotowire
Wicks (calf) is active for Monday's game against the Eagles, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.
Wicks is returning to action for the first time since he injured his calf Week 7 at Arizona. With rookie first-round pick Matthew Golden (shoulder) inactive Monday, Wicks likely will be a key part of Green Bay's passing attack, as only Romeo Doubs didn't endure some type of practice restrictions during Week 10 prep. All of Christian Watson (knee), Malik Heath (hip) and Savion Williams (foot) also are available along with Wicks and Doubs.

Packers' Dontayvion Wicks: Status in question for Monday
Rotowire
Wicks (calf) is listed as questionable for Monday's contest against the Eagles, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.
Wicks is aiming for his first game action since Week 7, when he injured his calf during a win at Arizona. He wasn't able to log more than a limited session this week, leaving his status for Week 10 up in the air. Fellow WRs Matthew Golden (shoulder) and Savion Williams (foot) also are questionable, while Christian Watson (knee) and Malik Heath (hip) don't have designations. It remains to be seen who among Golden, Wicks and Williams are available along with Romeo Doubs, Watson and Heath on Monday.

After missing the last two games without practicing in advance of both, Wicks now has logged back-to-back capped sessions as he seeks his first game action since he tweaked his calf during a Week 7 win at Arizona.

Packers' Dontayvion Wicks: No practice Thursday
Rotowire
Wicks (calf) isn't practicing Thursday, Dominique Yates of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Wicks hasn't been able to practice since injuring his calf Week 7 in Arizona, already missing one game as a result. He thus has one more chance to mix into drills this week before the Packers potentially make a ruling on his status ahead of Sunday's contest against the Panthers. Romeo Doubs, Matthew Golden, Christian Watson (knee), Malik Heath and Savion Williams represent the other wide receivers on Green Bay's active roster.

Packers' Dontayvion Wicks: Won't practice Wednesday
Rotowire
Packers coach Matt LaFleur said Wednesday that Wicks (calf) will not practice, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
Wicks is working his way back from a calf injury suffered Week 7 versus Arizona, and he didn't practice at all Week 8 en route to being ruled out versus the Steelers. He appears to now be trending in the wrong direction for Sunday's game against the Panthers. That said, Wicks will have two more chances to get back on the practice field before Green Bay decides whether to assign him a game-day injury designation for Week 9.

Packers' Dontayvion Wicks: Not playing in Week 8
Rotowire
Wicks (calf) has been ruled out for Sunday's game at Pittsburgh, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.
Wicks exited in the second half of last Sunday's win at Arizona due to a calf injury, and coach Matt LaFleur told Zach Kruse of USA Today on Wednesday that the third-year wide receiver wasn't in line to practice this week. Wicks indeed didn't mix into drills Wednesday through Friday and thus will miss his first game of the season. The Packers have two other question marks in the receiving corps, with Christian Watson (knee) awaiting activation from the reserve/PUP list and Matthew Golden (hip) added to the injury report Friday as limited. Green Bay's current healthy options at the position are Romeo Doubs, Malik Heath and Savion Williams.

Wicks (ankle) is listed as active Sunday in Arizona, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.
Wicks made an early departure from last Sunday's win against the Bengals due to an ankle injury and subsequently was limited in all three of the Packers' Week 7 practices. However, the issue won't impact his availability for Sunday, and he'll be among Green Bay wide receivers suiting up for QB Jordan Love along with Matthew Golden, Romeo Doubs, Malik Heath and Savion Williams.

Rotowire
Wicks (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Bo Brack of PHNX Sports reports.
Wicks was limited in all three of Green Bay's practices leading up to Sunday's clash with Arizona. If he's healthy, he should operate as Green Bays No. 3 wide receiver behind Romeo Doubs and Matthew Golden with Christian Watson (knee) still on the reserve/PUP list.
