Tyrone Broden WR | SEA
Tyrone Broden: Sent to practice squad injured list
The Seahawks placed Broden (undisclosed) on the practice squad injured list Friday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
It's unclear what type of issue Broden is dealing with, but he won't be eligible to play until mid-December. The rookie wideout has had a couple stints on Seattle's practice squad this season and hasn't yet made his NFL debut.

Tyler Lockett WR | LV
Raiders' Tyler Lockett: Logs full practice Friday
Lockett (knee) was a full participant in Friday's practice.
A knee injury limited Lockett's practice participation Thursday, but his ability to practice fully Friday indicates that he's on track to play against the Cowboys on Monday. The veteran wideout is coming off his best outing of the season, when he caught five passes (on six targets) for 44 yards against the Broncos in Week 10. Seeing as that was Lockett's second game as a Raider, his acclimation in the offense should get stronger as the season progresses, especially while catching passes from former Seahawks teammate Geno Smith.

Savion Williams WR | GB
Packers' Savion Williams: Questionable for Sunday
Williams (foot) is listed as questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Giants, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.
Williams completed the week of practice with a third limited session, and the rookie could once again look to play through injury, as he did Week 10 against the Eagles. The wide receiver caught a pair of targets for two receiving yards on six offensive snaps and added 57 kick-return yards on three special-teams snaps in last Sunday's loss. The 23-year-old will likely have similar usage if he is able to suit up for this Sunday's contest.

Marvin Mims WR | DEN
Broncos' Marvin Mims: Cleared for return Sunday
Mims (concussion) doesn't carry an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Chiefs after practicing fully this week.
Mims is thus slated to see his first game action since Week 8, with his looming return bolstering a Denver WR corps that also features Courtland Sutton and Troy Franklin. In eight contests to date, Mims has caught 22 passes on 32 targets for 234 yards and a TD, a level of production that has limited his fantasy impact to deeper formats. He did have a pair of six-catch efforts in that span, but apart from that his output was modest in his other six outings.

Khalil Shakir WR | BUF
Bills' Khalil Shakir: Slated to face Buccaneers
After being limited in practice Wednesday and Thursday, while in a red non-contact jersey as he contended with ankle and rib issues, Shakir sported a normal jersey as he worked fully Friday, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.
Following his return to a full session Friday, Shakir doesn't carry an injury designation ahead of Sunday's contest against Tampa Bay, a game in which the Bills will be missing top tight end Dalton Kincaid (hamstring) but are slated to welcome Joshua Palmer (knee/ankle) back to a WR corps that also features Keon Coleman. Through nine games to date, Shakir has made his fantasy mark by recording a 45-457-3 line on 58 targets in that span.

Isaiah Hodgins WR | NYG
Giants' Isaiah Hodgins: May have role in return to Giants
Hodgins may play a large role in the Giants' passing game Sunday against the Packers due to Darius Slayton (hamstring) being ruled out for the contest, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.
Hodgins hasn't been active once this season while mostly residing on the Steelers' practice squad, but the Giants signed him to their active roster Thursday in the wake of significant injuries in their receiving corps. Hodgins has plenty of experience working with interim head coach Mike Kafka, as he was the offensive coordinator calling the plays after the wideout joined the team at the midpoint of the 2022 campaign. In 28 games with New York over the previous three seasons, Hodgins hauled in 56 of 77 passes for 593 yards and seven touchdowns. He also plays primarily out wide, making him a decent plug and play for Slayton in addition to his previous experience with Kafka.

Ricky Pearsall WR | SF
49ers' Ricky Pearsall: Returning to action Sunday
Pearsall (knee) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.
Pearsall hasn't played in a game since Sept. 28 and was absent from practice for well over a month, but coach Kyle Shanahan's track record suggests the second-year wideout could jump right back into a significant workload. Unlike earlier this season, Pearsall will be part of an offense that has both Jauan Jennings and George Kittle healthy. Pearsall opened the season with 327 yards on 29 targets in less than four full games before suffering the PCL injury Week 4.

Davante Adams WR | LAR
Rams' Davante Adams: Deemed questionable, should play
Adams (oblique) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Seattle after logging limited practices Thursday and Friday, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.
Rams coach Sean Mcvay said Friday morning that Adams is expected to play. The 32-year-old wideout made an early exit from last Sunday's 42-26 win over San Francisco, with McVay saying afterward that Adams likely would've returned if the score had been closer. Adams then missed practice Wednesday before returning as a limited participant Thursday and Friday. It doesn't sound like the Rams expect a game-time decision ahead of Sunday's 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff.

Tory Horton WR | SEA
Seahawks' Tory Horton: Out again this week
Horton (groin/shin) has been ruled out for Sunday's game at the Rams, Curtis Crabtree of Fox 13 Seattle reports.
Horton's absence for a second straight game theoretically leaves more playing time for veteran wideouts Rashid Shaheed and Cooper Kupp, though it's not yet clear how much the rookie will even be a factor once he returns to full health. Horton scored five touchdowns on 22 targets in the No. 3 receiver role for the first two months of this season. Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald said Friday that injured reserve is a consideration for Horton, per Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic.

Devontez Walker WR | BAL
Ravens' Devontez Walker: Playing Sunday in Bateman's absence
Head coach John Harbaugh said Friday that Walker will dress Sunday against the Browns in the absence of Rashod Bateman (ankle), Ryan Mink of the Ravens' official site reports.
Walker hasn't played since Week 5, but Bateman's injury will give the 2024 fourth-round pick an opportunity to see the field Sunday. Walker figures to fill a depth role, though he scored two touchdowns against the Browns in Week 2.
