Trevor Lawrence #TrevorLawrence

Hill (ankle) is questionable for Sunday’s game against the Cowboys after finishing the week with a pair of limited practices. As per early Sunday reports, head coach Mike McDaniel is optimistic about the star receiver’s ability to suit up versus Dallas, noting Hill had a good week of practice with no setbacks. If there were any downgrade to that outlook and Hill was unable to suit up, Jaylen Waddle, who starred in his teammate’s absence against the Jets in Week 15, would once again handle No. 1 receiver duties, while the likes of Cedrick Wilson and Braxton Berrios would be in line for a notable bump in targets. Flowers (foot) is questionable for Monday night’s game against the 49ers despite finishing the week with two full practices after a limited Thursday session. If Flowers were unable to play, Odell Beckham Jr. and Rashod Bateman would be set to operate at Baltimore’s top two receivers. Collins (calf) is questionable for Sunday’s game against the Browns after practicing in limited fashion all week. As per early Sunday reports, Collins is expected to play and reclaim his No. 1 receiver role with Noah Brown serving in the No. 2 role alongside him. Smith-Schuster (ankle) is out for Sunday night’s game against the Broncos after finishing the week with a missed practice following limited Wednesday and Thursday sessions. Jalen Reagor should move up to the No. 3 role in his absence. Pittman (concussion) is out for Sunday’s game against the Falcons after sandwiching a pair of limited practices around a full Thursday session. As per Saturday reports, Pittman cleared concussion protocol Friday only to begin experiencing symptoms again once the team landed in Atlanta on Saturday. His absence leaves Josh Downs and Alec Pierce as Indianapolis’ top two receivers versus Atlanta. Watson (hamstring) is doubtful for Sunday’s game against the Panthers after missing practice all week. In Watson’s likely absence, Romeo Doubs will remain in the No. 1 receiver role for Green Bay, while Jayden Reed (toe) and Dontayvion Wicks (ankle) will be among those likely to also benefit if they play through their injuries. Reed (toe) is questionable for Sunday’s game against the Panthers after missing practice all week. If Reed can’t play, Dontayvion Wicks, who’s expected to play through his ankle issue, and Malik Heath would bump up the depth chart behind Romeo Doubs. Toney (hip) is out for Monday’s game against the Raiders after missing practice all week. In his absence, Richie James should see an increase in his targets as a shorter-area receiver similar to Toney. Brown (heel) is out for Sunday’s game against the Bears after missing practice all week. In his absence, Michael Wilson and Rondale Moore should serve as Arizona’s top two receivers versus Chicago. Jones (hamstring) is questionable for Sunday’s game against the Buccaneers after only getting in a limited Friday practice this week. As per early Sunday reports, Jones isn’t expected to play. Westbrook-Ikhine (hand) was placed on injured reserve Wednesday, ending his season. Chris Moore should see his downfield role expand as a result, beginning with Sunday’s game against the Seahawks. Moore (knee) was placed on injured reserve Monday, ending his regular season. Wicks (ankle) is questionable for Sunday’s game against the Panthers after practicing in limited fashion all week. As per early Sunday reports, Wicks is expected to play. St. Brown (pectoral) remains out for Sunday’s game against the Cardinals after missing practice all week. In his absence, rookie Tyler Scott is slated to fill the No. 3 receiver role. Dortch (shoulder) is questionable for Sunday’s game against the Bears after only getting in a limited Friday practice this week. If Dortch can’t play, veteran Zach Pascal should bump up a notch on the depth chart. Jennings (concussion) is out for Monday night’s game against the Ravens after missing practice all week. Philips (hamstring) is out for Sunday’s game against the Seahawks after sandwiching a pair of absences around a limited Thursday session. Nailor (concussion) is out for Sunday’s game against the Lions after missing practice all week. Turner (shoulder) is questionable for Monday’s game against the Chiefs after only getting in a limited Saturday practice this week. Brownlee is off the injury report ahead of Sunday’s game against the Commanders after finishing the week with two full practices following a limited Wednesday session.
