Nelson snagged one of three targets for a 46-yard gain and added a seven-yard run during Sunday's 20-15 loss to Washington.

Analysis: The game snapped an eight-game streak during which Nelson failed to total 50 yards in a game. He opened the season with two such performances in his first five contests, but he's struggled with the quarterback carousel and scope of his own role this season. Don't expect the return of Drew Stanton to make things any better. In Stanton's two starts earlier this season, Nelson combined for two catches and 32 yards off six targets.

Nelson gathered in two of three passes for 26 yards during Sunday's 12-7 win versus the Titans.

Analysis: After Larry Fitzgerald's five catches for 44 yards on 62 (of 65) offensive snaps, Nelson was second among Cardinals wideouts in receiving yards, despite Jaron Brown (15 yards) out-snapping him, 55-40. Nelson has actually earned three of his five greatest workloads of the season the past trio of games, but it hasn't translated to the game log, which displays five receptions (on 15 targets) for 82 yards. His explosiveness also hasn't shown through, as evidenced by one reception of 20-plus yards…read more

Nelson (knee) is listed as active Sunday versus the Titans, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Analysis: Despite a generous 90 offensive snaps the last two games, Nelson hasn't profited from 12 combined looks from Blaine Gabbert, gathering in three for 56 yards. Nelson's opponent, the Titans, have allowed the second-fewest catches of 20-plus yards this season, but wideouts have accounted for 15 touchdowns against this unit, good for third-most in the NFL.

Nelson (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's contest versus the Titans, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis: The Cardinals placed limitations on Nelson's practice regimen this week due to a knee injury. His ability to take part Wednesday through Friday bodes well for his availability this weekend, but the potential exists for his status to come down to Sunday's 4:05 p.m. EST kickoff.

Nelson (knee) was a limited participant in practice Thursday, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis: One of three receivers on the Cardinals' Week 14 injury report, Nelson looks bound to avoid the inactive list Sunday against the Titans after turning in his second limited practice in as many days. Nelson's full participation Friday would likely allow him to head into the weekend without carrying an injury designation.

Nelson was limited in practice Wednesday with a knee injury, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Analysis: Nelson played second fiddle to Larry Fitzgerald among Cardinals wide receivers Week 13 against the Rams, turning eight targets into two receptions for 42 yards. The stat line broke a streak of four straight games with exactly one catch, but his catch rate remains a putrid 47.2 percent (25 of 53) on the season. Assuming he puts a knee injury behind him and plays Sunday versus the Titans, he'll have the chance to take advantage of a defense that has allowed the third-most touchdowns (15) to…read more

Nelson snagged two of eight targets for 42 yards during Sunday's 32-16 loss to the Rams.

Analysis: The eight targets were a season high for Nelson, but they did little to snap a seven-game streak with two or fewer catches. His 42 yards on Sunday mark his highest total during that span. Nelson had a strong start to the season with 10 catches, 163 total yards and two touchdowns in Weeks 1 and 2, but he was unable to keep it up. He has caught just 37.5 percent of his targets since then and has averaged just 28.5 total yards per game with no touchdowns. He should not be on your radar week to…read more

Nelson played 40 of the Cardinals' 73 offensive snaps during Sunday's 27-24 win against the Jaguars.

Analysis: Targeted four times by current starting quarterback Blaine Gabbert, Nelson hauled in just one of them for 14 yards. Nelson has now tallied exactly one reception in four consecutive contests, during which his catch rate rings in at a woeful 30.8 percent. With far more misses than hits, the explosive wideout can safely be avoided with Carson Palmer (arm) out of the picture.

Nelson (chest) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Jaguars, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Analysis: With John Brown (chest) ruled out and Jaguars cornerback Jalen Ramsey (hand) also potentially absent, Nelson finds himself in a decent spot for the first time since September. of course, a matchup with Jacksonville still looks quite tricky, and Cardinals coach Bruce Arians hinted that he may use Brown's absence to give rookie third-round pick Chad Williams some playing time. On top of all that, starting QB Blaine Gabbert isn't exactly known for taking shots down the field.

Nelson (chest) was a limited participant at Wednesday's practice, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Analysis: After earning at least 60 percent of the offensive snaps in two of the first three games of the season, Nelson's workload has ranged from 18.5 to 56 percent of those reps, during which he's hauled in 12 of 25 passes for 199 yards across seven contests. His lack of production, along with John Brown's (turf toe) compromised health and similar inconsistency as a pass catcher, has forced head coach Bruce Arians to consider other options in the passing game opposite Larry Fitzgerald. Among those…read more

Nelson was targeted three times and caught one of them for 14 yards in Sunday's 31-21 loss to Houston.

Analysis: It was the fourth time in five games in which Nelson was held to one or no catches for less than 20 yards. Nelson started the season off hot, with touchdowns in each of his first two games and at least three catches in four of his first five contests. Nelson saw the field for 29 of the Cardinals' 58 offensive snaps on Sunday, fourth among receivers. He is not a safe bet week to week.

Nelson was on the field for 29 of 80 offensive snaps during Sunday's 22-16 defeat to the Seahawks.

Analysis: Nelson hasn't received more than 52 snaps on offense since Week 3 and has only surpassed 43 yards receiving twice in nine games, the last of which occurred Week 5 (four catches for 80 yards at Philadelphia). On Sunday, he was targeted four times by Drew Stanton but hauled in just one for 17 yards. Outside of Larry Fitzgerald and surprisingly tight end Jermaine Gresham, it's been tough sledding for the rest of the receiving corps. Now, Stanton may miss some time due to a sprained knee, which…read more
