Palmer (concussion) was a full practice participant Friday.

It's a sign of progress after limited participation Thursday, but he'll still need to clear concussion protocol to play in Monday's game against the Ravens, at which point Palmer likely would be the fourth or fifth WR on Tampa's depth chart.

Baker (illness) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Jaguars, Mark Daniels of MassLive.com reports.

Baker popped up on the Patriots' injury report Friday as a non-participant in practice due to an illness, and his status for New England's Week 7 contest now appears to be in jeopardy. The rookie out of UCF has been a healthy scratch in each of the Patriots' last three games, so even if he's past his illness by Sunday, he may still be inactive.

Evans (hamstring) didn't practice Friday, but he worked with a trainer on a side field, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.

It isn't clear if Evans did any running, as the video clip with the trainer only shows him stretching. Coach Todd Bowles revealed Thursday that Evans has a lingering lower-body injury, which probably explains why his snap share dropped to 54 percent and his route share to 68 percent in a 51-27 win over the Saints this past Sunday. Back-to-back absences from practice have him looking uncertain for Monday's game against Baltimore -- a team that's given up big-time production to perimeter receivers this season.

Wilson (hamstring) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Jets, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

Wilson made his NFL debut in the Steelers' Week 6 win over the Raiders, playing just five of the team's 67 offensive snaps and failing to record a stat. The Michigan product then popped up on Pittsburgh's injury report as a limited participant in practice both Thursday and Friday due to a hamstring issue, putting his Week 7 availability in jeopardy. If Wilson can't play through his hamstring injury Sunday night, expect Scotty Miller to see increased snaps in the Steelers' wide-receiver corps.

Pittman, who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game versus the Dolphins, is expected to play this weekend as long as he doesn't have a setback with his back injury, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.

After a back issue emerged for Pittman last week, there was a belief that he'd miss multiple weeks and perhaps even be placed on injured reserve. He was able to buck that report and suit up this past Sunday at Tennessee, logging a healthy 80 percent snap share and gathering in three of five targets for 35 yards and one touchdown. During Week 7 prep, Pittman sandwiched DNPs around a full practice Thursday, ultimately getting a questionable designation ahead of the weekend. Before Pittman was given that tag, though, coach Shane Steichen told Boyd, "Yeah, he'll be out there," in reference to the wide receiver's ability to suit up. A game-time decision thus seems likely for Pittman, and his status will be clarified about 90 minutes before Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff. If he's available, he'll be welcoming back franchise QB Anthony Richardson (oblique) for the first time since Week 4, and Pittman's usage could be impacted by the fact fellow WRs Josh Downs (toe) and Alec Pierce (shoulder) also are listed as questionable.

Jennings (hip) isn't practicing Friday, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

Rookie first-round pick Ricky Pearsall (chest) has a shot to make his NFL regular-season debut, but the 49ers probably will favor veteran Chris Conley in the No. 3 receiver role if Jennings doesn't play this Sunday against the Chiefs. A third straight missed practice has Jennings trending toward his first absence of the season.

Samuel (wrist) isn't wearing a non-contact jersey during Friday's practice, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

It's a strong hint he'll play Sunday against the Chiefs, although there's still some chance the 49ers give Samuel a game designation on their final injury report Friday afternoon. It's hard to imagine Samuel missing a Super Bowl rematch with any wrist injury short of a broken bone.

Pierce (shoulder) was a full participant in practice Friday but is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Dolphins.

Pierce, Josh Downs (toe) and Michael Pittman (back) all are listed as questionable. Coach Shane Steichen said Pittman will play despite logging a DNP on Friday, and Pierce also looks more likely than not to suit up, while Downs' status is up in the air after Friday's limited session. Of the Colts' top three wide receivers, Pierce will likely be the least negatively impacted by Anthony Richardson's (oblique) return under center Sunday, as Pierce has shown good downfield chemistry with both Richardson and Joe Flacco.

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

Both Watson and Jayden Reed (ankle) are good to go after three limited practices apiece, while Dontayvion Wicks (shoulder) is listed as questionable after following the same practice routine. Watson posted a season-high 68 receiving yards thanks to a 44-yard touchdown catch in Green Bay's Week 6 win over the Cardinals, and he'll look to build off that strong outing against a Houston defense that has been more vulnerable through the air than on the ground.

Woods (foot) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Packers.

Woods will miss a second consecutive game due to a foot injury. Steven Sims filled in as Houston's kickoff and punt returner in Woods' absence in the 41-21 Week 6 win over the Patriots, so Sims likely will maintain those roles against the Packers, while Woods wasn't much of a factor on offense even before his injury.
