Two receptions Sunday
Westbrook had two receptions for 13 yards on two targets in Sunday's win at Carolina. He also had three punt returns for a 2.3-yard average.
Analysis: Westbrook played on 12 of the offense's 89 snaps after playing 14 snaps last week. He's getting more of a look in four-receiver sets which could bode for a larger role later in the season if any injury strikes a top receiver. His main value in the meantime comes as the team's punt returner.

Increased usage as receiver
Westbrook had three receptions on four targets for 18 yards in Sunday's win over Detroit.
Analysis: Westbrook played a season-high 14 snaps on offense as he's mostly been used as the team's punt returner. While 18 yards receiving doesn't warrant a look in most fantasy formats, his increase in playing time during a game where the Vikings were not heavily passing merits attention in case it's a sign of a growing role.

Logs 17 receiving yards
Westbrook caught his lone target for 17 yards in Sunday's loss to the Browns.
Analysis: Westbrook was on the field for eight offensive snaps, fourth among the team's wide receiver corps. He did manage his first reception since Week 1 and only his second of the campaign. Instead, Westbrook makes his primary impact on special teams, as he also recorded two punt returns for 11 yards.

Minimal role on offense
Westbrook played just two snaps on offense and returned three punts for a 21-yard average in Sunday's loss at Arizona.
Analysis: Westbrook's role looks essentially limited to punt returns at this point with K.J. Osborn taking over the third receiver role. Osborn caught five of six targets for 91 yards and a touchdown Sunday.

One reception in Vikings debut
Westbrook had one reception on his only target for 11 yards in Sunday's loss at the Bengals. He also had one punt return for 12 yards.
Analysis: Westbook worked as the primary punt returner and No. 4 receiver in the offense. He played 15 snaps on offense. While he may have been somewhat eased into action after the team was cautious with him in the preseason while he was coming back from a torn ACL, K.J. Osborn continued to look sharp in the No. 3 receiver role. Westbrook's primary usage may be on punt returns as a result.

Set to return punts
Westbrook will be the Vikings' primary punt returner, Andrew Krammer of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.
Analysis: Westbrook is returning from an ACL tear that occurred Week 7 of the 2020 season. Along with returning punts, he projects to be Minnesota's No. 4 wide receiver. If he shows no signs of rust, the 27-year-old could certainly compete with K.J. Osborn for more snaps.

Full participant in practice
Westbrook (knee) was a full participant in practice Wednesday and said he will "most definitely" be ready the Vikings' Week 1 matchup with the Bengals, Chris Tomasson of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.
Analysis: Westbrook looks to be all the way back from a torn ACL suffered Week 7 of last season. It's not clear what kind of role he'll have against the Bengals. On the heels of a solid preseason, K.J. Osborn heads into Week 1 as the Vikings' No. 3 receiver, but Westbrook could eventually usurp him for those duties.

Not placed on injured reserve
The Vikings elected not to place Westbrook (knee) prior to the team's Week 1 matchup with the Bengals, Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Westbrook only recently starting to participate in team drills while he works his way back from a torn ACL suffered Week 7 of last season. Since he'll begin the season on the active roster, the Vikings must believe he'll be able to play at some point within the first three games. K.J. Osborn had a strong preseason and looks set to begin the regular season as the No. 3 receiver, but Westbrook could take over the role once he's back to full strength.

Likely sitting Saturday
Westbrook (knee) will likely not play in Saturday's preseason game against Indianapolis.
Analysis: Westbrook suffered his torn ACL in late October of 2020, so he might need more practice time to get into live game shape. Once he's able he should push for the WR3 role behind Justin Jefferson and Adam Thielen.

Participates in full-team drills
Westbrook (knee) participated in full-team drills during Thursday's practice, Eric Smith of the Vikings' official site reports.
Analysis: Westbrook has regularly had his reps managed since inking with the Vikings late July, while working his way back from an ACL tear, but it appears that he's now progressed enough to fully participate. Minnesota could continue to take a cautious approach to Westbrook's recovery, so it's not a sure thing that he suits up for Saturday's exhibition match against the Colts, but his chances of making a preseason appearance at some point appear to be increasing.

Remains limited at practice
Westbrook (knee) didn't take many reps at Friday's practice, Andrew Krammer of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.
Analysis: This seems to be a recurring theme since the Vikings signed Westbrook in late July, but the approach makes sense considering he suffered a torn ACL in Week 7 of last season. The precise date was Oct. 25, meaning he's only a little more than 10 months removed from the injury. Speaking to the media Friday, coach Mike Zimmer told Chris Tomasson of the St. Paul Pioneer Press that Westbrook is "a ways away" from being completely healthy. The Vikings have three preseason games on the docket, so an…read more

All clear for camp
Coach Mike Zimmer said Tuesday that Westbrook (knee) is "ready to go" for training camp, Chris Tomasson of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.
Analysis: Westbrook missed all but two games in 2020 due to an ACL tear, but it looks like he'll be ready to handle a full practice load when training camp kicks off. Zimmer also noted that Westbrook has already been impressive since signing with the Vikings on Sunday, per Tomasson. The veteran wideout could compete for the No. 3 role behind Justin Jefferson and Adam Thielen in Minnesota, and it's also possible that he earns work in the return game.

Signs with Vikings
Westbrook (knee) signed a contract with the Vikings on Sunday, NFL.com reports.
Analysis: The veteran wideout had a workout in Minnesota this weekend, and it didn't take the two sides long to come to terms on a deal. Westbrook totaled 1,377 yards and eight touchdowns between 2018 and 2019 for Jacksonville, but he appeared in only two games last season before going down with a torn ACL. The Vikings have little to offer in their receiving corps behind Justin Jefferson and Adam Thielen, so Westbrook could end up as the No. 3 wide receiver with a strong showing in training camp.

Hoping to sign with Vikings?
Westbrook (knee) dropped a hint that he's interested in joining the Vikings, Chris Tomasson of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.
Analysis: The free-agent receiver posted a snapchat story Friday morning in front of the Vikings' headquarters in Eagan, MN. Westbrook is in a tough spot after being benched and then suffering an ACL tear in his final year with the Jaguars, but he could have a nice opportunity if he lands in Minnesota, where Chad Beebe, Ihmir Smith-Marsette and Bisi Johnson are competing for the No. 3 receiver spot. Westbrook could also be an option for returning punts, a role he handled for the Jags in 2018 and 2019.

Improving after ACL tear
Westbrook (knee) expects to be cleared for football activities soon, NFL reporter Josina Anderson reports.
Analysis: The 2017 fourth-round pick suffered an ACL tear in October, wrapping up his fourth pro season with only one reception in two games for Jacksonville. He slid down the depth chart even before he was injured, and Westbrook now finds himself a free agent while rehabbing from major surgery. He's reportedly been in contact with the 49ers, but he'll likely need to compete for a roster spot regardless of where he ends up signing.

Torn ACL confirmed
Follow-up tests conducted on Westbrook's knee confirmed that he suffered a torn ACL in Sunday's 39-29 loss to the Chargers, ending his season, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: The Jaguars placed Westbrook on injured reserve Monday, leaving the team with five receivers on the active roster. The season-ending setback comes at a tough time for Westbrook, who was bound for free agency this offseason. Given that he may not be back to full health for the start of the 2021 season, he could remain unsigned deep into the summer. Westbrook's stock had already dropped steeply before he suffered the ACL tear, as the 26-year-old had essentially been squeezed out of Jacksonville's…read more

Hits injured reserve
The Jaguars placed Westbrook (knee) on injured reserve Monday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Jacksonville reportedly fears that Westbrook tore his ACL during Sunday's loss to the Jaguars, so his stint on IR may last the rest of the season. The 2017 fourth-round pick made the most of his contributions in the return game in three 2020 appearances, and he's set to become a free agent in 2021.

Torn ACL feared
Westbrook will undergo an MRI on Monday to confirm the severity of his knee injury, which the Jaguars fear to be a torn ACL, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Westbrook will miss the remainder of the 2020 season if the results of his MRI indeed point to an ACL tear. The 2017 fourth-round pick has been largely relegated to return-man duties this season, so the largest impact of his absence would likely come in the form of Chris Claybrooks taking over on both punts and kickoffs.

Remains inactive Week 2
Westbrook is listed as inactive Sunday against Tennessee.
Analysis: This is the second consecutive week Westbrook will serve as a healthy scratch, as an offseason shoulder injury led him to miss a large portion of training camp, and he appears to be continuing to work his way back. Even when ready, Westbrook will face hefty competition in a wide receiver group currently led by DJ Chark and Laviska Shenault.

Working back from injury
Coach Doug Marrone said Monday that Westbrook, who was a healthy scratch Week 1, is working his way back after missing much of training camp, John Reid of The Florida Times-Union reports.
Analysis: Westbrook spent a significant amount of training camp sidelined due to a bruised shoulder, and it looks as though his inactive status Week 1 simply came due to not having had enough time to acclimate to new offensive coordinator Jay Gruden's scheme. The fourth-year pro should handle a role on offense once he's fully up to speed, but he may not end up with much fantasy relevance while competing with Keelan Cole and Chris Conley for targets behind DJ Chark and Laviska Shenault.

Healthy inactive Week 1
Westbrook (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Colts, Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Listed as the No. 5 receiver on Jacksonville's unofficial depth chart, Westbrook already looked headed for a smaller role in 2020, but his inactive status for the season opener comes as something of a surprise. Rather than having Westbrook suit up as a depth option at receiver, rookie Collin Johnson will dress as Jacksonville's fifth wideout, with the coaching staff perhaps viewing the fifth-round pick out of Texas as someone who can make more of an impact on special teams.

Ready for Week 1
Westbrook (shoulder) isn't listed on Wednesday's injury report.
Analysis: Westbrook has spent the last two weeks as a limited practice participant due to a shoulder injury, but he now looks back to full health. Rookie second-round pick Laviska Shenault (undisclosed) is also off the injury report, however, which muddles Westbrook's path to targets in Sunday's season opener against the Colts. He's listed behind DJ Chark, Shenault, Chris Conley and Keelan Cole on Jacksonville's unofficial depth chart.

Listed as No. 5 WR
Westbrook (shoulder) was listed as the No. 5 wide receiver on the Jaguars' unofficial depth chart Monday.
Analysis: Westbrook hasn't practiced at full speed in more than two weeks, so that may play a factor in the demotion. However, rookie Laviska Shenault (undisclosed) has been banged up, too, and he's listed higher than Westbrook. It's still just an unofficial depth chart, but it's clear Westbrook doesn't have the guaranteed role on this offense that DJ Chark and Chris Conley, who are both listed starters, have secured in training camp.

Returns to limited practice
Westbrook (shoulder) returned to practice Wednesday as a limited participant, Mark Long of the Associated Press reports.
Analysis: After missing a week and a half of practice, Westbrook now appears on track to be ready for Week 1 against the Colts. He may still need a full practice before he's cleared to play, but he'll have some time to make that happen over the next 10 days. Westbrook's role is perhaps the biggest concern, as the Jaguars appear to have quite a crowd at wide receiver. There's even been some speculation that Westbrook, Chris Conley or Keelan Cole could be shopped for a trade.

Not practicing Saturday
Westbrook will not practice Saturday due to a shoulder injury, John Reid of The Florida Times-Union reports.
Analysis: Westbrook missed only one game last season despite showing up on the injury report with shoulder/neck issues since mid-October. While the reported training camp injury isn't deemed serious, it's a troublesome issue nevertheless, considering Westbrook's nearly season-long battle with shoulder issues in 2019.

Westbrook connected with Gardner Minshew multiple times during Thursday's practice, John Oehser of Jaguars.com reports.
Analysis: Westbrook handled 73 percent snap share last season and finished second on the team with 101 targets, but he was limited to a 66-660-3 receiving line in 15 games, failing to live up to preseason breakout hype. It was DJ Chark who had a big season instead, locking himself in as the Jags' No. 1 receiver for the foreseeable future.

Caps off season with score
Westbrook had seven catches (eight targets) for 72 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 38-20 win over the Colts.
Analysis: Westbrook paced all Jacksonville receivers in receptions and yardage Sunday after failing to eclipse 25 yards over his three previous contests. The 25-year-old took a back seat to sophomore sensation D.J. Chark, finishing the 2019 campaign with 66 catches, 660 yards and three touchdowns. Westbrook would be in line to start again next season if Jacksonville does not add to its receiver corps, but the team's inconsistent quarterback play limits his upside.

Westbrook (neck/shoulder) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Colts.
Analysis: Despite practicing fully Wednesday and Thursday, Westbrook is one of six players listed as questionable by the 5-10 Jaguars, suggesting he may have taken a step back with his activity Friday. Those relying on Westbrook in fantasy contests will want to verify his status ahead of Sunday's 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff, but even if cleared to play, the 26-year-old won't necessarily represent a bankable producer.

Listed as questionable this week
Westbrook (neck/shoulder) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Colts.
Analysis: Westbrook is one of six players listed as questionable by the 5-10 Jaguars and his status will be worth verifying in advance of Sunday's 4:25 ET kickoff. Of course the fact that he's coming off back-to-back two-catch efforts (for a combined 19 yards) makes Westbrook a speculative fantasy lineup option in Week 17, in any case.

Non-factor in Week 17 loss
Westbrook caught two of four targets for five yards and returned one punt for seven yards during Sunday's loss to the Falcons.
Analysis: Westbrook has been a complete non-factor over the past two games, catching only four passes for 19 yards despite playing 53 and 43 offensive snaps, respectively. The 26-year-old had 49 catches for 544 yards and two touchdowns through 11 games, but he's provided minimal production down the stretch as the Jaguars offense struggles to score.

Struggles in comeback win
Westbrook caught two of four targets for 14 yards and added a seven-yard carry in Sunday's 20-16 win over the Raiders.
Analysis: Even with DJ Chark Jr. (ankle) inactive, Westbrook still got his lowest target volume since Week 8 and did little with the balls that were sent his way. The third-year receiver will be a risky fantasy option next Sunday on the road against the Falcons, whether Chark returns to the lineup or not.

Westbrook (shoulder) practiced fully Friday and won't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Raiders, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM Radio reports.
Analysis: Banged up in the aftermath of the Week 14 loss to the Chargers, Westbrook was limited in the Jaguars' first two practices of the week before erasing any concern about his health by logging a full workout Friday. With Westbrook now cleared to play Sunday, he'll likely be in store for an increased target share with No. 1 wideout DJ Chark (ankle) ruled out for the first time all season.

Westbrook (shoulder) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.
Analysis: Westbrook emerged from last week's loss to the Chargers with a shoulder injury, perhaps explaining why his snap share dropped to 67 percent, down from 79 and 86 percent the previous two weeks.

Nursing shoulder injury
Westbrook was limited in Wednesday's practice due to a shoulder injury.
Analysis: Westbrook was held to just 25 yards on six receptions in Sunday's loss to the Chargers and may have gotten dinged up along the way. There's not yet any reason to worry that the third-year receiver is in any danger of missing time, and he'll have two more opportunities to practice in full ahead of this weekend's game against the Raiders. If DJ Chark's ankle injury turns out to be more serious than a day-to-day concern, Westbrook could be in line for an uptick in target volume in Week 15.

Quiet day in Week 14 loss
Westbrook secured six of seven targets for 25 yards in the Jaguars' 45-10 loss to the Chargers on Sunday.
Analysis: Westbrook actually finished second in receptions and targets to D.J. Chark (ankle), but he averaged a meager 4.2 yards per grab. The third-year wideout is certainly getting plenty of attention -- he's logged at least six targets in four straight games and in nine of his last 10 contests overall -- but he's largely operated in the short and intermediate passing windows while posting single-digit YPC figures in three of his last four games.

Westbrook brought in five of eight targets for 60 yards and a touchdown in the Jaguars' 28-11 loss to the Buccaneers on Sunday. He also returned two punts for 48 yards.
Analysis: Serving as one of the few highlights on the afternoon for a moribund Jaguars offense, Westbrook found the end zone for only the second time all season on a three-yard touchdown grab early in the fourth quarter. Despite the overall lack of scoring this season, he's been a steady part of the passing game irrespective of who's been under center, seeing at least six targets in all but two games.

Westbrook caught eight of nine targets for 69 yards during Sunday's 42-20 loss to the Titans.
Analysis: Westbrook led the team in receiving yardage while finishing behind only Leonard Fournette in targets and receptions. He averaged just 8.6 yards per catch on a day when Nick Foles struggled to push the ball downfield, but it was still a much better output for Westbrook, who came in with just four catches for 32 yards since Week 7. Perhaps this effort will earn him a similar role in next Sunday's favorable matchup against the Buccaneers.

Analysis: The Jaguars will presumably wait and see how Westbrook responds to a day of rest and recovery before gauging his availability for Sunday's game against the Titans, but the ailment most likely won't affect his status for the contest.

Westbrook hauled in four of his six targets for 32 yards in the team's Week 12 loss to the Colts.
Analysis: Westbrook played for the first time since Week 8 due to a neck and shoulder injury. In his return, he drew six targets with DJ Chark, Leonard Fournette and Chris Conley all out-targeting him. If Westbrook continues to lose volume, his value will see a sharp decline as he's averaged only 11.5 yards per reception for the season. He'll look to increase his targets once again when the Jaguars take on the Titans in Week 12.

Westbrook (neck/shoulder) practiced fully Wednesday.
Analysis: Westbrook is now poised to see his first game action since Week 8, and in his looming return to the lineup he'll be catching passes from Nick Foles, who's back from a collarbone injury and now slated to reclaim the Jaguars' starting quarterback job. It remains to be seen how well Westbrook and Foles click, but as long as he can stay healthy, the wideout should draw enough targets Sunday against the Colts to re-enter the fantasy radar in Week 11, at least in PPR formats.

Ready to practice
Westbrook (neck/shoulder) is expected to practice Wednesday.
Analysis: Coach Doug Marrone relayed the same expectation last week, hoping to get the slot receiver back for Sunday's game in Indianapolis. The extent of Westbrook's practice participation remains to be seen, with full participation in Wednesday's session not out of the question coming off a Week 10 bye.

In line to practice next week
Coach Doug Marrone said Westbrook (neck/shoulder) would resume practicing following the Jaguars' bye, Hays Carlyon of 1010 AM WJXL reports.
Analysis: The Jaguars will begin their Week 11 prep in earnest next Monday, but the extent of Westbrook's participation in practice won't be known until Jacksonville releases its first injury report two days later. In any event, Westbrook looks like he'll be ready to go when the Jaguars play their next game Nov. 17 versus the Colts. Westbrook will look to re-establishe a rapport in practices with Nick Foles (collarbone), who will return from injured reserve and take back the starting quarterback job from…read more

Officially out for Week 9
Westbrook (neck/shoulder) is inactive Sunday for the Jaguars' game against the Texans in London, John Oehser of the Jaguars' official site reports.
Analysis: With Westbrook sidelined for the first time this season, Chris Conley is slated to start at receiver alongside D.J. Chark, per Oehser. Considering that Westbrook was able to take part in practice on a limited basis Wednesday through Friday along with the fact that the Jaguars are on bye in Week 10, he should only be in store for a one-game absence.

Not expected to play Week 9
Westbrook (neck/shoulder), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Texans in London, isn't expected to play Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: The Jaguars promoted wideout Michael Walker from the practice squad presumably to provide additional depth while Westbrook is sidelined. D.J. Chark and Chris Conley should see extra targets as a result of Westbrook's absence.

Questionable for London game
Westbrook (neck/shoulder) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Texans, Hays Carlyon of 1010 AM WJXL reports.
Analysis: It's not yet clear how much work Westbrook got in at Friday's practice, but he presumably got in at least a limited session for the third day in a row, so he could avoid missing any further action after leaving last week's game early because of his injuries. Those hoping to include Westbrook in their Week 9 lineups will want to check on his status early Sunday morning, as the Jaguars and Texans will kick off at 9:30 ET in London.
