Watson (ankle) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game against the Jaguars, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

Due to the left ankle he sprained back in Week 4, Watson had his reps managed Wednesday and Thursday, but after practicing fully Friday, he's in the clear to suit up for a third straight game Sunday. In his first two contests back from the injury after missing a Week 5 win over the Rams, Watson has recorded four receptions for 77 yards and a touchdown on six targets while carrying once for minus-4 yards.

Woods (foot) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Colts.

Woods will return after a two-game absence, though he isn't expected to play a significant role on offense despite the absence of Nico Collins (hamstring). Woods steadily increased his practice participation throughout the week, going from a DNP on Wednesday to limited participation Thursday before practicing in full Friday.

Hill (foot) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Cardinals after not practicing Friday, Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network reports.

Hill was added to the Dolphins' Week 8 injury report after being limited at practice Thursday and then was held out of Friday's session prior to being deemed questionable for Sunday's contest, which kicks off at 1 p.m. ET. That said, head coach Mike McDaniel noted earlier in the day that he's optimistic Hill will play this weekend, and if he does, the wideout's fantasy prospects should be boosted by the looming return of starting quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (concussion).

Ridley (foot) practiced fully Friday and doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Lions.

Ridley's status was looking iffy after consecutive absences from practice Wednesday and Thursday, but he has gained clearance to suit up for an enticing matchup with a Detroit defense that's allowing the most yards per game in the league to wide receivers. Ridley has caught only five of 23 targets over his last four games, but he'll be the clear No. 1 option in Tennessee's receiving corps after DeAndre Hopkins was traded to Kansas City earlier in the week.

Waddle (quadriceps) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Cardinals after being a full participant in practice Friday, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.

Waddle avoided an injury designation with an uncapped practice Friday after limited sessions Wednesday and Thursday. He has a nice opportunity to break out of his slump with Miami getting Tua Tagovailoa back under center for the first time since Week 2 after the starting quarterback cleared concussion protocol.

Flowers (ankle) officially is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Browns after logging a limited practice Friday.

Flowers played through a first-half ankle injury Monday against the Buccaneers, but he failed to practice Wednesday or Thursday before Friday's capped session. His status may not be confirmed until 90 minutes before Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff in Cleveland. Rashod Bateman could be the primary beneficiary if Flowers winds up inhibited or sidelined.

Metcalf (knee) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game versus the Bills, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Metcalf emerged from this past Sunday's win in Atlanta with a minor MCL sprain that didn't allow him to practice Wednesday through Friday. Despite the lack of activity, head coach Mike Macdonald said that Metcalf playing Sunday is "not out of the question," but fantasy managers should begin preparing for the likelihood that the wideout misses the Week 8 contest. Assuming Metcalf is sidelined this weekend, Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Tyler Lockett should experience corresponding increases in target share, while Jake Bobo, Dareke Young and Laviska Shenault will be the other candidates to garner reps at wide receiver for the Seahawks.

Eskridge signed with Miami's active roster off the practice squad Friday.

Eskridge previously was elevated from the practice squad Weeks 3 and 4, but he now has a permanent spot on the 53-man roster. He'll provide depth in a banged-up Dolphins wide receiver room that also includes Tyreek Hill (foot), Jaylen Waddle (quadriceps), Odell Beckham and Malik Washington.

Hollins (shoulder) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Seahawks.

Hollins upgraded to full practice participation Friday to avoid an injury designation after limited sessions Wednesday and Thursday. He'll look to bounce back from a zero-catch Week 7 performance as a depth option in a Bills receiving corps that will be without Curtis Samuel (pectoral).

Coker could play a larger role Sunday against the Broncos, as the Panthers will be without wide receivers Diontae Johnson (ribs) and Adam Thielen (hamstring), Kassidy Hill of the Panthers' official site reports.

With Johnson ruled out and Thielen still on IR, Coker will be part of a shorthanded Panthers receiving corps that also includes Xavier Legette, David Moore and Jonathan Mingo. That group will be catching passes from Bryce Young, who is getting the start under center in place of Andy Dalton (thumb). Coker had 68 receiving yards against the Bears in Week 5, but that is the only time he has exceeded 30 receiving yards.
