Coach Sean McVay relayed Friday that Kupp (hamstring) is in line to make his season debut Sunday against the Eagles, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.

Backing up a report from Dianna Russini of The Athletic earlier Friday, Kupp should be available to the Rams after spending the first four games of the season on injured reserve due to a lingering hamstring injury. Kupp had a cap on his practice reps Wednesday, but the team listed him as a full participant Thursday, indicating he may not have many limitations Sunday, assuming he's out there. In order for him to be available to play this weekend, L.A. must activate him from IR by Saturday afternoon, and then his status for Week 5 won't become official until 90 minutes before Sunday's 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff.

Robinson (knee) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game in Miami, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Robinson tore the ACL in his right knee Week 11 of last season, so there likely will be instances like Week 5 of the current campaign in which the Giants cap his practice reps. In the end, though, he'll be available for a third consecutive contest Sunday, and his snap share could make another jump after logging 22 percent Week 3 and 64 percent this past Monday. In those two games, Robinson hauled in nine of 11 targets for 61 yards and no touchdowns while taking his only carry for seven yards.

Burks (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Colts, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

With Burks set to miss his second straight game, look for DeAndre Hopkins and Nick Westbrook-Ikhine to lead the Titans' Week 5 WR corps, with Chris Moore and Kyle Philips (knee) -- assuming he comes off IR -- also candidates to mix in. Burks' next chance to see game action will arrive Sunday, Oct. 15, when Tennessee hosts Baltimore.

Burks (knee) wasn't spotted at Friday's practice, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Burks didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday, either, and his absence from the early part of Friday's session clouds his status for Sunday's game against the Colts. The Titans' upcoming injury report will reveal whether the wideout has a chance to play in the contest or is destined to be sidelined for the second consecutive week.

Metchie (illness) returned to practice Friday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Metchie was unable to practice Thursday but returned Friday. If he logs a full practice to end the week, the wide receiver could avoid an injury designation for Sunday's game in Atlanta when Houston releases its final Week 5 injury report. Metchie has yet to see more than two targets in a game this season.

Jones (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bills in London.

Jones was listed as a limited practice participant this week, suggesting that he has a chance to return from his two-game absence versus Buffalo. His status will be clarified when the Jaguars post ther inactive list 90 minutes ahead of Sunday's 9:30 a.m. ET kickoff. In two games this season, Jones has caught five of his 13 targets for 55 yards and a touchdown.

Agnew (quadriceps) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bills.

Agnew logged another limited practice Friday, marking his third consecutive limited session coming off a Week 4 absence. Zay Jones (knee) also is listed as questionable after three consecutive capped practices. If Agnew suits up and Jones doesn't, the return man also could play a significant role on offense as Jacksonville's No. 3 wide receiver, but those relying on Agnew in fantasy will need to wake up early to check his status, as Sunday's game kicks off at 9:30 a.m. ET from London.

Washington (knee) is ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bills.

Washington was a healthy scratch for Jacksonville's first three games of the season, and he injured his right knee in his NFL debut Week 4. The rookie's next chance to play will come Week 6 versus the Colts, though he could be a healthy inactive again if Jamal Agnew (quadriceps) is back on the field at that time.

Coach Dan Campbell noted that St. Brown (abdomen) is not in line to practice Friday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

The report adds that the Lions expect to know more about St. Brown's status for Sunday's game against the Panthers in the next 24 hours. With another absence on tap Friday, St. Brown will have missed the entire practice week, with added context regarding his Week 5 status set to arrive when Detroit's final injury report is posted.

The Bears have agreed Friday to trade Claypool to the Dolphins, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Claypool, who was a healthy scratch for Chicago's win over the Commanders on Thursday night, is being traded to Miami in exchange for a 2025 swap of late-round picks, per Dianna Russini of The Athletic. The veteran wideout had clearly fallen out of favor with the Bears' coaching staff, as he racked up just four receptions for 51 yards and a touchdown on 14 targets through the Bears' first three games despite playing more than 75 percent of the offensive snaps. Now, Claypool will need to compete with Braxton Berrios, Cedrick Wilson and Robbie Chosen for snaps behind Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle, making his path to fantasy relevance difficult to envision even if Miami's offense can utilize him more effectively.
