The Raiders are expected to move Renfrow (hamstring/ribs) to injured reserve Thursday due to an oblique injury, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

While Las Vegas has yet to confirm any transactions, multiple reports indicate that both Renfrow and top tight end Darren Waller (hamstring) will be moved to IR, leaving the two pass catchers unavailable for each of the Raiders' next four games. Assuming that comes to fruition, the Raiders will have had quarterback Derek Carr and the team's top three pass catchers -- Davante Adams, Renfrow and Waller -- on the field for a total of just 43 plays through the first 13 weeks of the season. After their next four games, the Raiders will face a quick turnaround for Week 14 with a Thursday matchup against the Rams, so neither Renfrow nor Waller can be viewed as safe bets to make it back to the lineup in the minimum amount of time. Even when he had been able to take the field this season, Renfrow had produced a disappointing 21-192-0 receiving line on 29 targets over six games, so fantasy managers in redraft leagues may be best off moving on from the 26-year-old rather than waiting on his uncertain return.

Goodwin (groin) was limited at Thursday's walkthrough, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

After mixing back into drills Wednesday as a limited participant, Goodwin traveled with his teammates to Munich ahead of Sunday's matchup with the Buccaneers. Per Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times, Thursday's session lasted just 45 minutes, so the ensuing injury report is more of an estimate than anything. The Seahawks likely will have a better idea of Goodwin's potential to play this weekend upon the release of Friday's report, but there's a chance he'll miss just one game as a result of a groin issue.

Dotson (hamstring) was limited at Thursday's practice, Zach Selby of the Commanders' official site reports.

This marks Dotson's first appearance at practice since Oct. 20, when he aggravated the hamstring issue that hasn't allowed him to play since Week 4. He now has two more sessions to put himself in a position to suit up Monday at Philadelphia.

Hardman (abdomen) won't practice Thursday, Matt McMullen of the Chiefs' official site reports.

Hardman, who is dealing with abdominal soreness, also didn't practice Wednesday, so what the wideout is able to do during Friday's session should be key with regard to his chances of suiting up Sunday against the Jaguars. If Hardman is out or limited this weekend, Kadarius Toney, Skyy Moore and Justin Watson would be candidates to see added snaps Week 10 behind JuJu Smith-Schuster and Marquez Valdes-Scantling.

Cooks (wrist) was present for practice Thursday, Brooks Kubena of the Houston Chronicle reports.

The Texans' upcoming injury report will reveal Cooks' official participation level after the wideout was listed as a non-participant Wednesday. Per DJ Bien-Aime of ESPN.com, coach Lovie Smith indicated Wednesday that he expects Cooks to fully participate in practice Thursday and Friday. If that's the case, the wideout -- who was inactive Week 9 -- could approach Sunday's game against the Giants minus an injury designation.

Jets head coach Robert Saleh said Wednesday that he plans to utilize Moore out of the slot more frequently following the team's Week 10 bye, Josina Anderson of CBS Sports reports.

After a strong rookie season during which he saw time both outside and in the slot, Moore has struggled as a sophomore. New York has used him predominantly as a decoy on the outside while featuring other options in the passing game, but more snaps in the slot could lead to more targets for the 5-foot-10 receiver. With the Jets on bye Week 10, Moore will have ample time to adjust to his new slot-heavy role before the team returns to action against the Patriots in Week 11.

Cole is suffering from a knee injury and was limited at practice Wednesday, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.

Cole presumably suffered the injury in Sunday's loss to Jacksonville, when he logged nine offensive snaps but didn't see any targets or touches. The veteran wideout has played in five games this season but has tallied only three catches for 42 yards. The limited practice session Wednesday gives Cole a fair chance of playing this Sunday versus Indianapolis, but he's not expected to be a significant factor if he does take the field.

Nailor (illness) is not listed on the Vikings' injury report Wednesday.

Nailor did not practice at all last week due to an illness, forcing him to sit out Sunday's win over Washington. He appears to be feeling better, giving him a good chance of returning to action in Week 10 versus Buffalo. However, that isn't newsworthy for fantasy managers, as Nailor has taken only one snap on offense so far this season.

Jennings (hamstring) practiced fully Wednesday, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.

Jennings was absent Week 8 due to a hamstring issue, then rested up during the 49ers' Week 9 bye before returning to full on-field work to kick off Week 10 prep. The same can be said for the team's No. 1 wide receiver Deebo Samuel (hamstring), so the position group is back to full strength ahead of Sunday's game against the Chargers. In seven appearances this season, Jennings has put together a 14-180-0 receiving line on 24 targets while working behind Samuel and Brandon Aiyuk.

Samuel (hamstring) was a full participant in practice Wednesday, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.

Just as head coach Kyle Shanahan forecasted earlier Wednesday when talking to Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News and the rest of the 49ers' beat reporters, Samuel returned to full activity in the first session of Week 10 prep. Samuel was able to take every rep at practice after he sat out the team's last game Week 8 at the Rams before using a Week 9 bye to get back to 100 percent. With Christian McCaffrey pacing San Francisco's backfield and Elijah Mitchell (knee) potentially getting activated from injured reserve this week, Samuel may not be afforded his usual allotment of carries moving forward. Still, Samuel is quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo's top option in the passing game, so the wide receiver will look to continue building upon the 56 touches for 515 yards from scrimmage and three touchdowns that he's accumulated in seven appearances this season during the second half of the campaign.
