Virgil was signed to the Bills' active roster Friday.

Virgil has been with the Bills' active roster in each of their last two games, failing to record a stat while playing 32 total snaps (14 offensive and 18 on special teams). He's expected to serve as a depth piece in Buffalo's wide receiver room while also contributing on special teams in the Week 10 matchup against the Colts.

Collins (hamstring) was limited at Friday's practice and is listed as questionable for Sunday's contest versus the Lions.

The Texans designated Collins for return from injured reserve Friday, opening a 21-day window in which to evaluate him for a potential return to action. With a questionable designation in tow, he may be back for the first time since injuring his right hamstring Week 5 against the Bills. The Texans will need to activate Collins by 4:00 p.m. ET on Saturday for the wide receiver to have a chance to suit up this weekend, and if that transaction happens, his status won't be confirmed until about 90 minutes before Sunday's 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff. Considering it'll be the second-to-last game of the Week 10 slate, there won't be many options to pivot to if Houston activates him, and fellow WR Tank Dell (back) showed up as limited and listed as questionable on Friday's practice report, so Xavier Hutchinson, Robert Woods, John Metchie and Steven Sims are the healthy wide receivers on the team's active roster at the moment.

Davis (shoulder) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Vikings.

Coach Doug Pederson expressed optimism Friday about Davis' availability to play against Minnesota, Mia O'Brien of 1010 XL 92.5 FM Jacksonville reports. The veteran wideout missed last week's loss to the Eagles. He's averaging a career-worst 27.1 yards per game in his first season with the Jaguars.

Dell (back) is listed as questionable for Sunday night's game against the Lions after being limited in practice Friday.

Dell wasn't on the Texans' injury report Wednesday or Thursday, so his addition Friday is notable. Meanwhile, fellow WR Nico Collins (IR, hamstring) was limited in his return to practice Friday and carries a questionable game status as well. Look for added context with regard to the duo's Week 10 availability to arrive no later than Saturday night or early Sunday via the usual posting of weekly injury updates from national reporters, but the Texans' 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff Sunday night complicates things from a fantasy perspective.

Lamb (shoulder) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Eagles, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

Lamb was able to rejoin last week's loss to Atlanta after suffering an AC joint sprain and will now play through the injury with Cooper Rush filling in for Dak Prescott (hamstring) at quarterback this Sunday. It isn't ideal to be playing through an injury and catching passes from a backup QB against a red-hot defense, but Lamb's talent and steady volume mean fantasy managers would be wise to keep him in lineups all the same. The Cowboys listed him as a full practice participant Friday, although their session was merely a walkthrough.

Smith (hamstring) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game at Dallas.

Smith closed out the week with a full practice and said afterward that he'd be fine to play this Sunday. The final injury report confirms his optimism, giving QB Jalen Hurts all his key pass catchers with A.J. Brown having quickly recovered from a knee injury and TE Dallas Goedert now back from his hamstring issue.

Falcons coach Raheem Morris said after Friday's practice that he "felt good" about London (hip) playing Sunday against the Saints, Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com reports.

London is listed as questionable for the game after being a limited practice participant throughout the week. The optimism for Morris is a good sign but doesn't necessarily preclude a game-time decision ahead of the 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff this Sunday.

Wilson (shoulder) has been ruled out for Sunday's game versus the Falcons.

Already without Chris Olave (concussion), Wilson won't be available to the Saints offense either after being listed as a non-participant during the entirety of Week 10 prep. That leaves Mason Tipton, Marquez Valdes-Scantling and Jermaine Jackson as the available wide receivers on the Saints' active roster, while Dante Pettis, Equanimeous St. Brown and Kevin Austin are candidates to be elevated from the practice squad.

Interim coach Darren Rizzi said Friday that Olave (concussion) won't play Sunday against the Falcons, John Hendrix of SI.com reports.

Rizzi also told Hendrix that a stint on injured reserve is "on the table" for Olave as the wide receiver meets with specialists to determine the best course of action after he suffered a concussion this past Sunday at Carolina that resulted in a visit to the hospital. The Saints have a Week 12 bye on the schedule, so it likely would behoove them to make an IR decision this week with the four-game caveat in mind. With Cedrick Wilson (shoulder) also ruled out for Week 10, Mason Tipton, Marquez Valdes-Scantling and Jermaine Jackson are the healthy wide receivers on the Saints' active roster.

With Michael Pittman (back) ruled out, Mitchell is expected to see elevated offensive snaps in Sunday's game against the Bills, Stephen Holder of ESPN.com reports.

"He's improving, so looking forward to him playing this week," coach Shane Steichen said of Mitchell. The rookie played a season-low five offensive snaps in last Sunday night's loss to the Vikings, but he's expected to bump up the depth chart alongside Josh Downs and Alec Pierce, and Ashton Dulin also will see playing time as a plus blocker in the run game. Mitchell has big-play ability but has been unable to show it yet in the NFL, having failed to reach 40 receiving yards in any game this season.
