Allen (hamstring/questionable) is viewed as a game-time decision for Sunday's game against the Seahawks, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.

The report suggests that Allen has "high hopes right now" about a possible return to action Sunday, but it appears as though a final determination on his Week 7 status won't arrive until game day ahead of the Chargers' 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff. If Allen ends up limited or out this weekend, added snaps would be available for DeAndre Carter alongside Mike Williams, with Joshua Palmer (concussion) already having been ruled out by the team.

Sims (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Dolphins, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

Sims worked as Pittsburgh's return man the past two weeks but will sit out this weekend due to the hamstring issue. Gunner Olszewski handled return duties earlier this season and could reclaim the role Sunday.

Jones (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Giants.

After making an abrupt appearance on the Jaguars' final Week 6 injury report last Friday as limited due to a hamstring injury, Jones was downgraded to out one day later. This week, he again has had a cap on his practice reps and enters the weekend with his status up in the air. Jones' last appearance Week 5 against the Texans marked his most productive outing of the campaign by a large margin (7-104-0 on 11 targets), but his standing for Sunday won't be confirmed until about 90 minutes before a 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff.

Philips is listed as questionable Sunday against the Colts due to a hamstring injury, John Glennon of SI.com reports.

Philips already has missed one game this season with a shoulder issue, and his status for Week 7 now is in peril after he logged a limited practice Friday due to a new health concern. If he's able to suit up this weekend, he'll be well behind the Titans' top wide receivers, Robert Woods and Nick Westbrook-Ikhine, even with rookie Treylon Burks (toe) on injured reserve.

Lockett (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Chargers, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Coach Pete Carroll likely will comment on Lockett after Friday's practice, but Carroll has an extensive track record of misleading comments about injuries, typically in the overly optimistic direction. The real question is whether Lockett practices Friday, and to what extent, after he was held out Wednesday and Thursday. He played through the hamstring injury last week and logged 82 percent of the offensive snaps in a win over the Cardinals, catching two of five targets for only 17 yards.

Chark (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game in Dallas.

Chark missed the last two games before a Week 6 bye and still hasn't returned to practice. Fellow wideout Josh Reynolds (ankle) is listed as questionable, further increasing the odds that depth receivers Tom Kennedy and Kalif Raymond see targets Sunday. Chark's next chance to play is Sunday, Oct. 30 against the Dolphins.

Reynolds (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game in Dallas.

Reynolds returned to practice Friday as a limited participant, after missing the first two official sessions coming out of a bye week. He's been dealing with the same injury since Week 3 and nonetheless has three consecutive performances of more than 80 receiving yards, but the lack of practice time this week means fantasy managers shouldn't assume anything ahead of the 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff. While the matchup and lingering ankle injury are far from ideal, Reynolds should be the team's top perimeter threat if he plays with fellow wideout DJ Chark (ankle) set to miss a third straight game.

Cobb (ankle) said Friday that he expects to miss 2-to-6 weeks, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

Cobb said it's the same injury he suffered in late 2016, noting that he scored three TDs in a playoff game against the Giants his first week back. Six years later, his reduced role in the Green Bay offense makes that sort of performance highly unlikely, though Cobb did see 13 targets Week 5 (against the Giants, coincidentally) after getting four or fewer in each of his first four games. He'll now miss multiple games, starting with a Week 7 contest in Washington. With Christian Watson (hamstring) also out and Sammy Watkins (hamstring, PUP list) uncertain, the Packers may turn to Amari Rodgers as their No. 3 receiver.

Bateman (foot) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Browns.

After missing the Ravens' last two contests due to a left foot sprain, Bateman was able to get back on the field this week and maintain limited showings at practice, setting him up for his first appearance since Week 4. Having said that, he told Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com on Friday that his availability this weekend is a "coach Harbs" decision, referring to John Harbaugh. As a result, Bateman's status likely won't be confirmed until 90 minutes before Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff.

Morgan (hamstring) is doubtful for Sunday's game against Atlanta, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Morgan didn't practice Thursday or Friday due to a hamstring issue, and he'll likely be forced to miss at least one game. The 26-year-old's status shouldn't significantly impact the Bengals' offensive plans.
