Perriman (knee/hamstring) didn't practice Thursday.

Perriman was able to play through a knee injury Weeks 2 and 3 en route to a cumulative 6-89-1 line on nine targets. Even if he's able to make himself available Sunday against the Chiefs, he has yet to practice this week, while all of Chris Godwin (hamstring), Julio Jones (knee) and Russell Gage (hamstring) have managed at least one capped session. As a result, Perriman seems like the least likely of the aforementioned wide receivers to be available this weekend, which could be confirmed as of the release of Friday's injury report.

Gage (hamstring) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday.

Both Gage and Julio Jones (knee) had a cap on their reps in the second session of Week 4 prep, while Chris Godwin (hamstring) was given a veteran rest day Thursday, and Breshad Perriman (knee/hamstring) has yet to practice this week. Among the quartet, Gage and Jones seem like the best bets to work alongside Mike Evans on Sunday against the Chiefs, but Friday's injury report may clear up the overall situation upon its release.

Godwin (hamstring) received a veteran rest day Thursday, Brianna Dix of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

One day removed from logging a limited practice for the first time since injuring his hamstring in the season opener, Godwin got the day off Thursday. His activity level at Friday's session may provide insight into his potential to return Sunday against the Chiefs, but at this point he seems destined to enter the weekend with a 'questionable' designation.

Hardman (heel) returned to a limited practice Thursday.

Hardman sat out Wednesday's session, but his return to practice Thursday bodes well for his chances of playing Sunday against the Buccaneers. Friday's injury report will determine whether or not the wideout heads into the weekend with an injury designation or fully cleared for Week 4 action.

Allen, who has been dealing with a hamstring injury, left Thursday's practice with a trainer, Jeff Miller of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Allen, who has missed two straight games, logged a limited practice Wednesday, but his exit from Thursday's session is a situation to monitor ahead of Sunday's game against the Texans. If Allen is unable to return to action this weekend, Joshua Palmer and DeAndre Carter would continue to see added WR opportunities for the Chargers in Week 4.

Dortch (back) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday, Tyler Drake of ArizonaSports.com reports.

Currently, the Cardinals have just two healthy wide receivers (Marquise Brown and Andy Isabella) on the active roster, as A.J. Green (knee) seems destined to sit out Sunday at Carolina, Rondale Moore (hamstring) and Dortch have been limited in practice this week, DeAndre Hopkins remains suspended, and Antoine Wesley (hip) is on injured reserve. If Dortch is able to get past his current back issue, he likely will be the team's No. 2 wideout behind Brown this weekend.

Watson (hamstring) practiced in full Thursday.

Prior to sitting out Week 3 at Tampa Bay, Watson logged just one capped session due to a hamstring issue. This time around, he followed up a limited practice Wednesday with all activity one day later, setting him up to return to action Sunday versus the Patriots. With Sammy Watkins (hamstring) on injured reserve, Watson likely is the Packers' top vertical threat in the passing game for quarterback Aaron Rodgers.

Lazard (ankle) was limited at Thursday's practice.

The Packers continue to keep Lazard somewhat under wraps on the practice field due to the ankle injury that forced him to sit out the season opener. If he mimics the end of last week, though, he'll head into Sunday's game against the Patriots without an injury designation, which would mean all Packers wide receivers not named Sammy Watkins (hamstring, IR) would be available to quarterback Aaron Rodgers.

Meyers (knee) remained limited at practice Thursday, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

Meyers sat out the Patriots' Week 3 loss to the Ravens, but back-to-back limited practices -- albeit in a limited fashion -- offer hope that he could suit up Sunday against the Packers. That said, unless Meyers practices fully Friday, look for him to head into the weekend officially listed as questionable.

Moore (hamstring) practiced in a limited fashion Thursday, Tyler Drake of ArizonaSports.com reports.

Moore injured his hamstring in the second practice of Week 1 prep and has yet to suit up in any of the Cardinals' three games on the campaign. He began inching toward a return this week with back-to-back capped sessions, which comes on the heels of coach Kliff Kingsbury telling Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com last Friday that he expected Moore to make his season debut in Week 4 or 5. If he's able to play Sunday in Carolina, Moore may be on a snap count, though that could depend on the state of Arizona's receiving corps with DeAndre Hopkins suspended, A.J. Green (knee) trending toward an absence and Antoine Wesley (hip) on injured reserve.
