Washington (quadriceps) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Patriots, Travis Wingfield of the Dolphins' official site reports.

Washington was limited in all three of Miami's practices but will play through his injury for the second consecutive game. He played only 14 snaps on offense in his NFL debut Week 4, and the rookie sixth-round pick likely will be deployed in a limited role again Sunday.

Lockett (thigh) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Giants, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.

Lockett has been listed on the injury report for four out of five games so far, but he hasn't had a game designation since Week 1 and has played more than half of the available snaps in each game. While Jaxon Smith-Njigba has been getting a few more routes and targets than Lockett on average, Lockett's 80 percent route share and 17 percent target share for the season are respectable numbers, keeping him in play as a lineup option for deep leagues if nothing else.

Berrios (ankle) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Patriots, Travis Wingfield of the Dolphins' official site reports.

Berrios practiced fully Friday after limited sessions Wednesday and Thursday to gain clearance for Sunday's showdown between AFC East cellar dwellers. He'll play his usual role in the slot while returning both kickoffs and punts, but Miami's ceiling on offense remains low with Tyler Huntley set to start under center, and most of Huntley's throws will likely be directed to Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle.

Metcalf (hand) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Giants, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.

Metcalf missed a practice last week and was limited this Thursday, but the hand injury doesn't seem to be having much impact on his role or production. He caught seven of 12 targets for 104 yards in Monday's 42-29 loss to the Lions, and he's accounted for 23 percent of Seattle's targets and 43 percent of the team's air yards this season.

Osborn (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Dolphins.

It would be surprising if Osborn managed to suit up considering he didn't practice in any capacity all week, but the Patriots are leaving the door open for the wide receiver to play with a questionable designation. More snaps on the outside would be available for a combination of Ja'Lynn Polk, Tyquan Thornton, Kayshon Boutte and Javon Baker if Osborn sits, DeMario Douglas should continue to man the slot in New England's underwhelming receiving corps, and team may also get back Kendrick Bourne (knee) from the reserve/PUP list for Week 5 action.

Harty (knee) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Bengals.

Harty was a late-week addition to the injury report, putting in a full practice Friday ahead of his questionable tag. Harty has played just six offensive snaps this season and another 38 on special teams, returning seven punts for 81 yards and two kickoffs for 51 yards.

Carter (ribs) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Panthers.

Head coach Matt Eberflus told reporters Friday that Carter has been progressing throughout the week, so it appears the 31-year-old could be a game-time decision Sunday. If Carter's ribs injury is too much to overcome, expect Velus Jones to serve as Chicago's top kick and punt returner.

Dell (chest) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game against the Bills.

Dell didn't practice before he was ruled out for a Week 4 matchup with the Jaguars, but his chest injury improved enough for him to get back on the field this week. He was limited both Wednesday and Thursday before logging a full session Friday, thereby paving the way for his return to action. Dell will operate as the Texans' No. 3 WR behind Nico Collins and Stefon Diggs on Sunday, which so far has equated to nine catches (on 17 targets) for 99 yards and no touchdowns in three appearances this season.

Woods (foot) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bills after being limited in practice Friday.

Woods didn't practice Thursday, so it was encouraging that he managed to return to the practice field Friday, even in a limited capacity. Even if Woods suits up Sunday, he isn't expected to play a significant role, as Tank Dell (chest) has been cleared to return after a one-game absence, and there haven't been many targets left over in Houston's wide receiver room behind Nico Collins, Stefon Diggs and Dell.

Coker (foot) practiced in full Friday and is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bears, David Newton of ESPN.com reports.

Panthers head coach Dave Canales said all players listed as questionable have a good chance to suit up Sunday, per Joe Person of The Athletic. That lends optimism to the notion that Coker will be able to suit up versus Chicago. Coker handled a depth role in his regular-season debut Week 4, and he failed to secure his only target.
