McKenzie (illness) was a full participant on Friday's practice estimate and doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Browns.

The Bills weren't able to hold practice Friday due to heavy snow in Buffalo, but McKenzie would have been available had they practiced. Assuming the team is able to fly to Detroit to play Sunday's relocated game at Ford Field as planned, McKenzie is poised to take the field without limitations in his usual slot role.

Moore could be in line for an expanded role Sunday in New England, as Ethan Greenberg and John Pullano of the Jets' official site report that Corey Davis (knee) will miss a third consecutive game.

Davis' previous absences didn't lead to increased volume for the disgruntled Moore, but perhaps New York's Week 10 bye gave him an opportunity to clear his head. He'll have another opportunity to contribute Week 11 for a Jets receiving corps that lacks weapons aside from fellow young wide receiver Garrett Wilson in Davis' absence. Moore hasn't recorded more than 53 yards in a game this season after topping that mark in four of his last six games as a rookie.

Wilson is in line for another game as New York's clear No. 1 wide receiver with Corey Davis (knee) having been ruled out for a third straight game, Ethan Greenberg and John Pullano of the Jets' official site report.

Wilson has thrived since Davis went down, racking up 115 receiving yards Week 8 and 99 total yards Week 9 prior to the Jets' Week 10 bye. The 115-yard game came against the Patriots, whom the rookie first-round pick will face again Sunday, this time on the road.

Samuel (shin) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game in Houston, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.

Samuel will play for an 11th time in as many games this season, after making only five appearances his first year in Washington. He's accounted for only 20 of the 113 targets (17.7 percent) from Taylor Heinicke while Terry McLaurin has seen 36 (31.9 percent), but the Commanders have gotten Samuel more involved in the run game to make up for it, with the 26-year-old averaging 3.5 carries for 20.8 yards through four Heinicke starts. The Commanders haven't committed to Heinicke beyond Week 11, and it's possible an eventual shift back to Carson Wentz (finger, IR) could lead to more targets for Samuel down the stretch.

Smith-Schuster (concussion) wasn't present for the media-access portion of Friday's practice, Herbie Teope of The Kansas City Star reports.

Smith-Schuster didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday, so his absence from the initial portion of Friday's practice doesn't bode well for his chances of suiting up Sunday night against the Chargers. With Mecole Hardman (abdomen) having landed on IR and Smith-Schuster looking iffy, the Chiefs' wideout depth could be taxed Week 11, with the status of Marquez Valdes-Scantling (illness, limited Thursday) also worth monitoring.

Hopkins (hamstring) is practicing Friday, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Hopkins returns to practice after sitting out Thursday, putting him on track to play in Monday's game against the 49ers. His level of participation remains to be seen, and it's also unclear if QB Kyler Murray (hamstring) has made enough progress to play. Urban notes that Murray ran the length of the field before Friday's session, likely preparing for another day of limited participation.

Toure played four snaps and was not targeted in Thursday's 27-17 loss to the Titans.

Since playing a season-high 25 snaps in Week 9, Toure was on the field for just 12 plays the following week and only a third of that number one game later. Barring an injury to one of his fellow wideouts, his role likely will remain limited in the Packers' Week 12 matchup with the Eagles.

Coach Robert Saleh said Friday that Davis (knee) is out for Sunday's contest against New England, Connor Hughes of SNY.tv reports.

Davis last played Week 7, but Saleh said he's confident the wideout will be back on the field versus the Bears in Week 12, per Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic. For at least one more contest, however, Elijah Moore, Denzel Mims and Braxton Berrios will get a chance to see increased opportunities behind Garrett Wilson.

Cobb (ankle) brought in all six targets for 73 yards in the Packers' 27-17 loss to the Titans on Thursday night. He also recovered an Aaron Jones fumble.

The veteran WR was immediately productive in his return from a four-game absence, leading the Packers in receptions and receiving yards on the night in the process. Cobb's catch and yardage totals were his second highest of the season, and he'll look to build on the momentum he generated with Thursday's performance in a critical Week 12 road matchup against the Eagles a week from Sunday night.

Woods brought in six of seven targets for 69 yards in the Titans' 27-17 win over the Packers on Thursday night.

Woods finished second to Treylon Burks in receptions, receiving yards and targets on the night, posting a season high in catches along the way. The veteran wideout has mostly filled a short-area role during his brief Titans tenure thus far, but he could be a beneficiary of the increased defensive attention Burks should start receiving from opposing defenses down the stretch.
