Brown (foot) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Bears, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Brown took a questionable tag into the weekend, despite not practicing in any fashion Wednesday through Friday. The Cowboys held out hope that the receiver might demonstrate enough progress in pregame warmups to suit up Sunday, but he'll ultimately miss his first game of the season. With Brown in street clothes, rookie Jalen Tolbert could get a look in the No. 3 receiver role behind CeeDee Lamb and Michael Gallup.

Hollins (heel) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Saints.

Hollins is available if you need him in Week 8 fantasy lineups, but the wideout's production has cooled off since he logged an 8-158-1 receiving line on 11 targets in Week 3 against the Titans. In three contests since then, Hollins has totaled five catches for 77 yards and a TD on 12 targets, a context that makes the 29-year-old a speculative fantasy option, especially with both Davante Adams and Hunter Renfrow also in uniform Sunday.

Adams (illness) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Saints.

After missing two straight days of practice due to an illness, Adams returned to a limited session Friday, and he'll be available Sunday versus New Orleans. In the process, the Raiders' top wideout should continue to see his share of targets from QB Derek Carr in Week 8. To date, Adams has recorded a fantasy-friendly 37 catches (on 63 targets) for 509 yards and five TDs through six contests.

St. Brown (concussion protocol) is active for Sunday's game against the Dolphins.

St. Brown played limited snaps in both of the Lions' last two games, the first in Week 5 while he was well below 100 percent due to a right ankle sprain and the second in Week 7 after he suffered a concussion in the first half of a loss to the Cowboys. The wideout is now further removed from the ankle sprain and was able to clear the concussion protocol shortly after putting in a full practice Friday, so St. Brown could be in decent position to approach the high-end fantasy production he delivered in the first three weeks of the season. In those contests, St. Brown delivered a 23-253-3 receiving line on 33 targets while also carrying twice for 68 yards.

Lockett (hamstring/rib) remains listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Giants and is considered to be a game-time decision, though the Seahawks have some optimism that he plays, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Rapoport's dispatch came just over two hours after Adam Schefter of ESPN reported that Lockett is expected to play, so while the receiver appears to be on the right side of the questionable tag, it's far from locked in at this point that he'll avoid the inactive list ahead of Sunday's 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff. Even if Lockett and DK Metcalf (knee) -- who is listed as questionable but is expected to play -- dress for the game, it's possible that either or both receivers are limited in some capacity in terms of snaps and/or effectiveness. If that's the case, depth receivers like Marquise Goodwin and Dee Eskridge could step into slightly larger roles than usual.

Cooks (wrist), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Titans, is expected to play, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Confirmation on Cooks' availability won't become official until the Texans release their inactive list 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff, but the wrist injury that resulted in the wideout being added to the injury report Friday doesn't look as though it'll prevent him from suiting up. Assuming that's the case, Cooks could be playing in his final game with the Texans, as Adam Schefter of ESPN notes that Houston is listening to trade inquiries on the veteran receiver ahead of Tuesday's deadline for deals. Schefter notes that the Giants, Rams and Vikings have emerged as possible suitors for Cooks, though the 29-year-old's $18 million fully guaranteed salary for 2023 could be an obstacle in any potential deal.

Agnew (knee) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Broncos in London.

Agnew wasn't able to manage anything more than limited participation in practice this week due to his injury, so he'll end up being sidelined for the second game in a row. While Agnew was out for the Jaguars' Week 7 loss to the Giants, Tim Jones stepped in as Jacksonville's No. 4 receiver but played just eight snaps on offense.

Agholor (hamstring), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Jets, is on track to suit up, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Agholor carries the injury designation into the weekend after he was a limited participant in practices Wednesday through Friday. The wideout looks like he'll avoid his first absence of the season Week 8, but he may have only a small role in the New England. Agholor played just 11 total snaps between the Patriots' last two games, with rookie Tyquan Thornton eating into the veteran's playing time.

St. Brown remains listed as questionable but has reportedly cleared the NFL's concussion protocol and is in line to play Sunday against the Dolphins, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.

After being a limited participant at practices Wednesday and Thursday, St. Brown was deemed a full participant Friday. Final confirmation of his Week 8 status will arrive when the team's inactive list is posted approximately 90 minutes ahead of Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff, but the wideout looks on track to play. In five games this season, St. Brown has recorded a 28-275-3 receiving line on 40 targets.

The Texans are willing to trade Cooks (wrist) prior to Tuesday's deadline and are listening to multiple inquiries ahead of Sunday's contest against the Titans, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Cooks practiced in full Friday but is still listed as questionable for Week 8 due to a wrist injury, and ongoing trade talks could be a factor in Houston deciding whether the wideout ultimately suits up Sunday. The 29-year-old will be owed a hefty $18 million fully guaranteed next week, which has reportedly complicated discussions with teams including the Giants, Rams and Vikings, per Schefter. In addition to Cooks being listed as questionable, the Texans have downgraded Nico Collins (groin) to out versus Tennessee, potentially leaving quarterback Davis Mills with Chris Moore, Phillip Dorsett and Tyron Johnson as his top wideouts.
