Harry (illness) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Falcons.

Harry did not practice for the second day in a row Friday due to an unspecified illness that is significant enough to keep him sidelined against Atlanta in Week 11. This will mark the wideout's second missed game in as many weeks, as he was ruled a healthy scratch Week 10, and his next chance to play will come versus the Jets on Sunday, Nov. 27. While Harry has slotted into the bottom half of the Bears' wide receiver depth chart this season, his absence should open up more opportunities for Velus Jones, Byron Pringle and Dante Pettis against the Falcons.

Jefferson (toe) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Cowboys.

A toe injury impacted his practice participation but never caused him to miss a session entirely, and Jefferson now takes the field against a Cowboys defense led by CB Trevon Diggs and pass rushers Micah Parsons and DeMarcus Lawrence. The 23-year-old is a top-3 play at wide receiver in any matchup, on pace to become the first player with 2,000 receiving yards in a season. With Miami's Tyreek Hill on bye this week, Jefferson needs 89 yards to retake the NFL lead.

Robinson (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Lions, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

The rookie slot receiver felt tightness in his hamstring Wednesday and was held out of practice Thursday, but coach Brian Daboll said Friday that Robinson is "trending in the right direction" to play Sunday. Despite seeing only five targets the past two games -- his first NFL starts -- Robinson has played more than two-thirds of offensive snaps in three straight appearances and seems locked in as a key part of the Giants' low-volume passing game. Darius Slayton also has been a regular for about a month now, while the other WR spot still appears contested between Kenny Golladay, Isaiah Hodgins and (maybe) Marcus Johnson.

Chase (hip) has been ruled out for Sunday's game at Pittsburgh.

Chase already has missed two contests due to a hip issue, and following the Bengals' Week 10 bye, he'll make it a third this weekend. Having said that, the team opted not to place him on IR, which would have required him to sit out at least four games. Considering Chase was given a recovery timeline of 4-to-6 weeks, there's a chance he'll be able to return Sunday, Nov. 27 in Tennessee. First, though, he'll have to mix into drills next week.

Coach Andy Reid doesn't think Hardman's abdominal injury is season-ending and described it as short-term Friday, Herbie Teope of The Kansas City Star reports.

Short-term is relative here, as Hardman already has been placed on injured reserve, but Reid seems optimistic that the fourth-year wide receiver will be back after a minimum four-week IR stint. If Hardman returns at his first available opportunity, he would retake the field Week 15 against Houston on Sunday, Dec. 18.

Watson is in line for an expanded role Sunday against the Chargers, as Adam Teicher of ESPN.com reports that both JuJu Smith-Schuster (concussion) and Mecole Hardman (abdomen, IR) will miss the game.

Kansas City's top four wide receivers will be Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Watson, Kadarius Toney and Skyy Moore. Valdes-Scantling has been battling an illness this week, Moore's an unproven rookie who hasn't made much of an impact on offense, and Toney has been with the team for less than a month. Meanwhile, Watson has built up a rapport with Patrick Mahomes, albeit in a depth role, but he'll have some upside on Sunday night given the lack of healthy alternatives in Kansas City's high-powered passing game.

Smith-Schuster (concussion protocol) won't play Sunday night against the Chargers, Matt McMullen of the Chiefs' official site reports.

With Smith-Schuster out and Mecole Hardman (abdomen) having been placed on IR, look for Marquez Valdes-Scantling (illness) to be busy Sunday, assuming he's active. Meanwhile, Kadarius Toney, Justin Watson and Skyy Moore also are candidates to see added work, with Toney likely to absorb a good portion of Hardman's previous responsibilities.

McKenzie (illness) was a full participant on Friday's practice estimate and doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Browns.

The Bills weren't able to hold practice Friday due to heavy snow in Buffalo, but McKenzie would have been available had they practiced. Assuming the team is able to fly to Detroit to play Sunday's relocated game at Ford Field as planned, McKenzie is poised to take the field without limitations in his usual slot role.

Moore could be in line for an expanded role Sunday in New England, as Ethan Greenberg and John Pullano of the Jets' official site report that Corey Davis (knee) will miss a third consecutive game.

Davis' previous absences didn't lead to increased volume for the disgruntled Moore, but perhaps New York's Week 10 bye gave him an opportunity to clear his head. He'll have another opportunity to contribute Week 11 for a Jets receiving corps that lacks weapons aside from fellow young wide receiver Garrett Wilson in Davis' absence. Moore hasn't recorded more than 53 yards in a game this season after topping that mark in four of his last six games as a rookie.

Wilson is in line for another game as New York's clear No. 1 wide receiver with Corey Davis (knee) having been ruled out for a third straight game, Ethan Greenberg and John Pullano of the Jets' official site report.

Wilson has thrived since Davis went down, racking up 115 receiving yards Week 8 and 99 total yards Week 9 prior to the Jets' Week 10 bye. The 115-yard game came against the Patriots, whom the rookie first-round pick will face again Sunday, this time on the road.
