McConkey (foot) didn't practice Friday, Noah Furtado of The Athletic reports.

With McConkey now missing practice throughout the week after coach Jim Harbaugh previously termed him week-to-week, it's looking like the wide receiver will miss Sunday's game against the Broncos. Look for Oronde Gadsden to see more action out of the slot for the Chargers, while Tre' Harris and Quentin Johnston (chest) continue to soak up the bulk of the wideout snaps.

Smith (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's contest in Jacksonville.

Smith was seen running on a side field Thursday before getting in some rehab work Friday, but he was listed as a non-participant on all three of the Eagles' Week 5 injury reports due to a lingering hamstring issue and thus won't play Sunday. With Hollywood Brown (ankle) also sidelined this weekend, Philadelphia's options at wide receiver will be Dontayvion WIcks, Makai Lemon, Darius Cooper, Elijah Moore and Britain Covey.

The Broncos plan to place Bryant (ankle) on injured reserve, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

The official transaction should happen at some point Friday or Saturday. With Bryant ruled out for the next four games, Troy Franklin is the favorite to step in as Denver's No. 3 wide receiver. Marvin Mims and Lil'Jordan Humphrey could also take on roles.

Allen (groin) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Steelers.

After back-to-back limited sessions earlier in the week, Allen got in a full practice Friday. However, he still hasn't gotten the full green light for Sunday's game in Pittsburgh. If he can play, the veteran wideout will slide back into a prominent role alongside Josh Downs, bumping Laquon Treadwell and Ashton Dulin back down the depth chart.

Tate (back) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Texans.

Tate was added to the injury report Thursday as a limited participant, and he was again limited at Friday's session. It's a good sign that he hasn't missed a practice entirely, and Titans coach Robert Saleh said Friday that the rookie was ready to play. It sounds like Tate might be listed as 'probable' if the designation still existed, but fantasy managers will still want to make sure he's active ahead of a 1:00 p.m ET kickoff Sunday.

Evans (ribs) was suited up and preparing to take part at the beginning of Friday's practice, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

After being limited Wednesday and getting the day off Thursday, Evans appears as if he'll mix into his second session of the week as he guts through a rib injury that he sustained during a Week 3 win against the Cardinals. Friday's practice report will reveal if he has a game designation ahead of Sunday's road matchup with the Seahawks.

White (ankle) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game at New England, ESPN's Paul Gutierrez reports.

White upgraded to full participation Friday after limited practices the previous two days. With Jalen Nailor (concussion) ruled out, White has a chance to match or exceed last week's season highs for snap share (62 percent) and route share (52 percent). He caught two of four targets for 36 yards in the loss to Kansas City, after each of his first three receptions this season (in Weeks 2-3) had gone for touchdowns. White's 48 snaps on offense last week were more than he played in Weeks 1-3 combined, and it was also the first time this year he didn't have a role on special teams. It looks like he'll be the Raiders' No. 2 WR this Sunday against a New England secondary that's missing starting cornerbacks Christian Gonzalez (shoulder) and Carlton Davis (neck).

Nailor (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game at New England, ESPN's Paul Gutierrez reports.

Nailor was concussed during a Week 4 loss to Kansas City and didn't practice at all in the lead up to Week 5. In Nailor's absence, Cody White is the favorite to get most of the WR snaps alongside Tre Tucker, with Dareke Young and Malik Benson also on hand for depth. The Raiders mostly work from two-TE formations to keep Brock Bowers and Michael Mayer on the field.

Moore (shoulder) was not on the field for the start of Friday's practice open to the media, Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic reports.

Moore has logged back-to-back DNPs to start Week 5 prep, but he does have an extra day to get ready, with the Bills and Rams not kicking off until Monday night. However, fantasy managers are going to need to have a backup plan in place if Moore doesn't get the green light to play after he aggravated his shoulder injury in last Sunday's loss to the Patriots. Dalton Kincaid, Khalil Shakir, Keon Coleman and Joshua Palmer would all be in line for elevated roles in the passing game if Moore ends up inactive.

Olave (foot) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Vikings, Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football reports.

After being limited Thursday due to a foot issue, Olave's full participation Friday clears up his status for Week 5. The NFL's leader in targets (48) has a tough test against Minnesota's aggressive defense, but the Saints can't run the ball and have been forced to dial up the pass at a high clip through four games. Olave is a lock-and-load WR1 every week.
