Waddle (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Sunday night's game against the Steelers after practicing in a limited fashion this week.

Given that he was able to log limited practices this week, Waddle has a chance to suit up this weekend, though his status still will be worth tracking closely ahead of Sunday night's 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff. Ideally, added context with regard to his Week 7 availability will arrive late Saturday or early Sunday when national reporters such as Adam Schefter and Ian Rapoport provide their weekly injury updates.

Agnew (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Giants, Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com reports.

Agnew was unable to practice this week due to his knee injury and will be unavailable for at least one game. Christian Kirk will likely return punts Sunday, while Chris Claybrooks is a strong candidate to serve as the team's kick returner.

Renfrow (hip) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Texans, Rachel Gossen of the Raiders' official site reports.

While Renfrow showed up on Las Vegas' Week 7 injury report Thursday as a non-participant due to a hip issue, he described the development Friday as a precautionary measure, according to Adam Hill of the Las Vegas Review-Journal. Renfrow added that he should be OK to play this weekend, but after a limited practice to end the week, his status nonetheless should be monitored ahead of Sunday's 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff.

Hart (hamstring) is doubtful for Sunday's game against the Chargers, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Hart missed last week's matchup against Arizona due to his hamstring injury and appears likely to sit once again in Week 7. However, his status for Sunday's matchup shouldn't significantly impact Seattle's offense.

Palmer (concussion) won't play Sunday against the Seahawks.

With Palmer -- who didn't practice this week -- ruled out, look for DeAndre Carter to see added Week 7 opportunities in the Chargers' passing game, more so if Keenan Allen (hamstring, questionable) ends up limited or out Sunday. Palmer now will target a potential return to action Sunday, Nov. 6 in Atlanta following his team's upcoming bye week.

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.
