Olave (concussion) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bengals, Luke Johnson of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

The Saints listed the rookie as a full practice participant Friday, though Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football relays that Olave didn't do much on the field during the open portion of practice. Olave apparently increased his activities when the doors were closed, and the Saints will give him a chance to clear the concussion protocol before their game against the Bengals kicks off at 1 p.m. ET. Fellow wide receivers Michael Thomas (foot), Jarvis Landry (ankle) and Deonte Harty (foot) have been ruled out, leaving the Saints with Olave, Marquez Callaway and Tre'Quan Smith on the active roster as healthy options at the position. Meanwhile, the Saints have Keith Kirkwood, Kirk Merritt and Kevin White available on the practice squad.

Watson (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Jets, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

Watson worked as the No. 4 receiver and kick returner the week before in London against the Giants, playing 18 snaps on offense and seeing one target, one carry and two kick returns. He left with a hamstring injury in the third quarter, having previously missed Week 3 with the same issue. The rookie didn't practice at all this week and could miss time beyond Sunday.

Higgins (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Saints after practicing Friday on a limited basis.

Per Jay Morrison of The Athletic, Higgins profiles as a game-time decision for the contest, but fortunately for those considering the wideout in Week 6 fantasy lineups, the Bengals kick off among the early wave of games at 1 p.m. ET. If Higgins is out or limited this weekend, Mike Thomas would be in line to see added snaps versus New Orleans alongside Ja'Marr Chase and Tyler Boyd.

Gage (ankle) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game in Pittsburgh.

Gage was listed with a hamstring injury for the first five weeks of the season and now is bothered by his ankle, though not enough to keep him off the field. He even managed a full practice Friday, suggesting he'll be fine for his usual role alongside Mike Evans and Chris Godwin. Meanwhile, Julio Jones (knee) is listed as doubtful and isn't expected to play.

Godwin (hip/knee) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game in Pittsburgh.

Godwin progressed from non-participation Wednesday to limited activity Thursday to full participation Friday. It's worth noting that his playing time was scaled way back last week after the Buccaneers jumped out to a 21-0 lead over the Falcons, with Scotty Miller getting more playing time than Godwin after halftime. A full workload is possible now that Godwin is further removed from both last year's ACL tear and his more recent hamstring injury, but there's also some change he's scaled back again, especially if the Buccaneers jump out to a big lead against the Steelers, who are heavy home underdogs. Godwin, Mike Evans and Russell Gage will be the top three wide receivers this week, while Julio Jones (knee) is listed as doubtful after missing three straight practice.

Thomas (foot) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Cincinnati, Field Yates of ESPN reports.

Thomas will miss a third straight game, and perhaps a fourth with the Saints on a short schedule ahead of their Thursday night matchup with Arizona in Week 7. With Chris Olave (concussion), Jarvis Landry (knee) and Deonte Harty (foot) also in danger of missing Sunday's game, the Saints may be down to Marquez Callaway and Tre'Quan Smith as the only healthy wide receivers out of the six they carry on the active roster.

Rams head coach Sean McVay said Kupp (foot) will be listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Panthers, but the wide receiver is expected to play, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.

Tight end Tyler Higbee (ankle) and All-Pro defensive tackle Aaron Donald (foot) are also taking questionable designations into the weekend, but like Kupp, they too are expected to play despite missing practice time this week. After sitting out Wednesday's session due to the foot issue, Kupp was a limited participant Thursday, and he's expected to have his reps capped again Friday for what may be maintenance purposes more than anything. Assuming Kupp's foot isn't hurting any more than usual following Friday's practice, he should be ready to fill his high-volume role in the Rams' passing attack Sunday.

Bateman (foot) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Giants.

With Bateman slated to be out of action for the second straight game, look for Devin Duvernay to continue to lead the Ravens' wideout corps in Week 6. Beyond Duvernay, the Ravens have Demarcus Robinson, James Proche and Tylan Wallace on hand at receiver, but each of the three saw exactly two targets while Bateman sat out last week's win over the Bengals.

Robinson (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Ravens, but he's expected to play in the Week 6 contest, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

The rookie second-round pick looked as though he was on track to open the season in a prominent role for the Giants, but he played just nine snaps in a Week 1 win over the Titans before succumbing to a right knee injury that has sidelined him ever since. Even though Robinson was a limited participant during practices Wednesday through Friday, the Giants seem to have noticed enough improvement in the wideout's health to make him available Week 6. Robinson's status won't be officially confirmed until the Giants release their inactive list 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff, and Raanan suggests that the 21-year-old will likely be "sprinkled in" to the game plan in his return with a light snap count. If Robinson does in fact play Sunday and escapes without any setbacks, he could see his role on offense grow in the weeks that follow.

Toney (hamstring) is listed as out for Sunday's game against the Ravens.

Toney will end up missing his fourth game in a row while he continues to recover from injuries to both of his hamstrings. Considering that Toney didn't practice in any capacity Wednesday through Friday, he's far from a sure bet to make his return to the lineup Week 7 in Jacksonville.
