Dortch (back) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game at Carolina, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

Following back-to-back capped session to kick off Week 4 prep due to a back issue, Dortch managed every practice rep Friday, clearing him to play this weekend. Dortch and Andy Isabella are the only healthy wide receivers for the Cardinals at the moment, as DeAndre Hopkins (suspension), A.J. Green (knee) and Antoine Wesley (hip, IR) are unavailable and Marquise Brown (rest/foot) and Rondale Moore (hamstring) are questionable for Sunday. As a result, Dortch could be even more involved in Arizona's passing game after putting together a 20-198-1 line on 23 targets through the first three games of the campaign.

Sills could be one of four healthy receivers currently on the active roster available for Sunday's game against Chicago, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

Sills hasn't been wildly productive this season -- he's nabbed just five catches on eight targets for 57 yards through three games -- but he's been on the field for the majority of the team's offensive snaps and looks to have moved further up the depth chart by default after top wideout Sterling Shepard was lost for the season as a result of tearing his ACL last Sunday. New York's receiver room has been a mess again this season, as Kenny Golladay has played sporadically and caught just two passes so far while Kadarius Toney (hamstring) essentially has been invisible and is questionable to play Week 4. That has given Sills and Richie James the opportunity to make a push for more playing time, though the eventual return of rookie Wan'Dale Robinson -- who suffered a knee injury in the second quarter of the season opener and hasn't played since -- could shake up the pecking order.

Moore (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's contest in Carolina, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

Since injuring his hamstring during Week 1 prep, Moore didn't practice until this week, and his ability to string together three consecutive capped sessions provides a sense of optimism about his ability to make his season debut this weekend. He even told Bob McManaman of the Arizona Republic on Thursday that he's "excited to be back, healthy and ready to compete." That doesn't necessarily mean Moore is in the clear, but his status will be confirmed, one way or another, about 90 minutes before Sunday's 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff. If he's able to suit up, the second-year pro could be poised for a fair amount of work right away with DeAndre Hopkins (suspension), A.J. Green (knee) and Antoine Wesley (hip, IR) unavailable and Marquise Brown (rest/foot) questionable to play.

Brown (rest/foot) is questionable for Sunday's game in Carolina, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

Brown made a sudden appearance on the Cardinals' Week 4 injury report Friday, logging a limited session as he tends to a foot issue. If he's able to avoid the inactive list ahead of Sunday's 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff, he again will be poised for significant volume in a receiving corps that'll be without DeAndre Hopkins (suspension), A.J. Green (knee) and Antoine Wesley (hip, IR).

Davis (ankle) practiced on a limited basis Friday and is listed as questionable for Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET game in Baltimore.

Davis has two limited showings this week sandwiched around a DNP on Thursday, and his comments this week seem to indicate he plans on playing Sunday. He was out there for 96 percent of the plays in the Week 3 loss to Miami, but between his 3-37-0 line, his Week 2 absence and his limited practice availability this week due to tweaking his ankle again, it's clear he's not operating at anywhere near 100 percent just yet.

Valdes-Scantling (abdomen) returned to practice Friday, Herbie Teope of The Kansas City Star reports.

Valdes-Scantling, who was limited at Wednesday's practice, was deemed a non-participant Thursday, but his return to the mix Friday bodes well for his chances of playing Sunday against the Buccaneers. The Chiefs' upcoming injury report will reveal whether or not Valdes-Scantling approaches the contest with a Week 4 injury designation.

Coach Todd Bowles said Godwin (hamstring) will be a game-time decision Sunday against the Chiefs, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.

Bowles said the same is true for Julio Jones, who was a limited practice participant all week after missing the past two games with a hip injury. Breshad Perriman, meanwhile, will be listed as doubtful with a hamstring issue, though he might've been sliding back to a depth role this week even if he'd remained healthy. Godwin appears truly questionable entering the weekend and likely will be listed as such on the Bucs' final injury report.

Davis (ankle) was present for Friday's practice, Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic reports.

It remains to be seen how the Bills list his participation level and subsequent Week 4 injury status, but Davis' presence on the field Friday nonetheless is encouraging after he was listed as a non-participant Thursday.

Higgins suffered an ankle injury during Thursday's win over the Dolphins, but it isn't major, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.

Higgins will have 10 days to recover ahead of Cincinnati's contest against Baltimore in Week 5, which should boost his chances of not missing time. The third-year pro looked excellent versus Miami despite nicking up his ankle, securing seven of nine targets for 124 yards and a touchdown. The 23-year-old's injury briefly forced him out during the second half of Thursday Night Football, but he was able to retake the field.

Coach Dan Campbell said Friday that Chark (ankle) will suit up versus Seattle on Sunday, Eric Woodyard of ESPN.com reports.

Chark will get a chance to operate as Detroit's top wideout with Amon-Ra St. Brown (ankle) ruled out, and his target opportunities could rise further if D'Andre Swift (shoulder) is unable to go. Josh Reynolds (ankle) and T.J. Hockenson (foot) also may see increased volume in the passing game, though both likewise dealt with injuries in practice this week.
