Dontayvion Wicks Ruled Out For Week 8

Friday, October 24, 4:25 PM

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Dontayvion Wicks (calf) has been ruled out for Week 8's matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers, according to the team. Head coach Matt LaFleur said on Thursday that Wicks is unlikely to suit up on Sunday night and has now been officially listed as out. The 24-year-old has mostly served as a depth option in Green Bay's passing attack, recording only 13 receptions for 134 yards with no touchdowns on 20 targets this season. It does look like fellow wide receiver Christian Watson (knee) is trending in the right direction to make his season debut in Week 8, but rookie Matthew Golden (hip) popped up on the injury report Friday and is now questionable.

Jalen Coker News

Jalen Coker Working Back to Full-Time Role

Tuesday, October 28, 3:01 PM

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Jalen Coker was on the field for 40 of his team's 61 offensive snaps in a Week 8 loss to the Bills. This came after taking 26 of 71 snaps in Week 7, his first game of 2025 after a hamstring injury caused him to sit out the first six weeks. After failing to record a catch in that first game back, Coker caught three of four targets on Sunday for 36 yards, and as he continues to play his way back into football shape, he should see his snap count and target share increase. With starting quarterback Bryce Young currently considered day-to-day with an ankle injury, there's a chance he returns for Week 9 against the Packers, making Coker an intriguing waiver add who could be started in a pinch this week, but should continue to see his value increase on a depth chart begging for a secondary option behind Tetairoa McMillan.
