Scott Miller WR | PIT
Steelers' Scotty Miller: Missing third straight game
Miller (finger) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Chargers, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.
Miller continues to recover from a procedure to repair a broken finger and will miss a third straight game as a result. He hasn't been able to practice since the surgery, and his next opportunity to play is Week 11 against the Bengals on Sunday, Nov. 16.

Christian Watson WR | GB
Packers' Christian Watson: Limited again Friday
Watson (knee) was a limited practice participant Friday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
Watson hasn't been able to log a full practice since the Packers activated him from the reserve/PUP list prior to Week 8, but his snap shares in two appearances to date (56 percent in Week 8, 66 percent in Week 9) imply that he's nearly back to 100 percent. He's also been productive, gathering in six of eight targets for 143 yards. All of Watson, Dontayvion Wicks (calf), Malik Heath (hip) and Savion Williams (foot) were limited Friday, while Matthew Golden (shoulder) fell back to a DNP from Thursday's limited showing, so Saturday's injury report will reveal who among the quintet has a chance to suit up Monday versus the Eagles.

Matthew Golden WR | GB
Packers' Matthew Golden: Falls back to DNP on Friday
Golden (shoulder) didn't practice Friday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
Golden wasn't able to return to the Packers' Week 9 loss to the Panthers due to a shoulder injury, and while he was limited at Thursday's session, his lack of activity one day later is a concerning development ahead of Monday's contest against the Eagles. Saturday's practice report will reveal the game-day designations for all of the Packers' banged-up wide receivers, the others being Christian Watson (knee, LP this week), Dontayvion Wicks (calf, also LP), Malik Heath (hip, added as LP on Friday) and Savion Williams (foot, LP on Friday after a DNP on Thursday).

Cooper Kupp WR | SEA
Seahawks' Cooper Kupp: Looking good after full practice
Kupp (hamstring/heel) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Arizona, but he appears on track to play after upgrading to full practice participation Friday, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.
Kupp missed a Week 9 rout of the Commanders after injuring his hamstring last Thursday, but it seems he was correct when he downplayed the severity, as he's now looking good to play just 10 days after the initial injury. Seattle's wideout depth is depleted, including No. 3 receiver Tory Horton (shin) being listed as doubtful, which means Kupp could get plenty of snaps even with the addition of Rashid Shaheed.

Ricky Pearsall WR | SF
49ers' Ricky Pearsall: Ruled out for Week 10
Pearsall (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Rams, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
He hasn't practiced for more than a month, still limited to side-field work with the training staff. Pearsall will miss a sixth consecutive game, leaving Jauan Jennings and Kendrick Bourne unchallenged as San Francisco's top two wide receivers.

Zay Jones WR | ARI
Cardinals' Zay Jones: Cleared to play this week
Jones (knee) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game at Seattle, Tyler Drake of ArizonaSports.com reports.
He played through the same injury last week, handling a 52 percent snap share without seeing a target in the 27-17 win over Dallas. Jones should be fine to fill his usual role as the No. 3 WR in a TE-centric offense.

Parker Washington WR | JAC
Jaguars' Parker Washington: Could be busy in Thomas' absence
Washington could see additional opportunities Sunday against the Texans, as Brian Thomas (ankle) has been ruled out.
The Jaguars will be without both Thomas and Travis Hunter (knee), with the latter on injured reserve. Washington has drawn at least nine targets three times this season, including each of the past two games. He and Dyami Brown, who cleared concussion protocol Friday, are set to lead Jacksonville's receiving corps along with Tuesday's trade acquisition Jakobi Meyers.

Brian Thomas Jr. WR | JAC
Jaguars' Brian Thomas: Ruled out for Sunday
Thomas (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Texans after not practicing this week.
With Thomas out, newcomer Jakobi Meyers, Parker Washington and Dyami Brown are in line to lead the Jaguars' Week 10 WR corps, with Tim Patrick and Austin Trammell available to mix in. Thomas' next chance to see game action will occur Sunday, Nov. 16 against the Chargers.
-
Dyami Brown WR | WAS
Jaguars' Dyami Brown: Cleared to return for Week 10
Brown (concussion) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Texans.
Brown has cleared the NFL's five-step concussion protocol and will be available for the Jaguars, who will be playing without Brian Thomas (ankle). Thomas' absence could open up more opportunities for Brown and Parker Washington, especially if trade acquisition Jakobi Meyers isn't quite up to speed yet.

Cooper Kupp WR | SEA
Seahawks' Cooper Kupp: Deemed questionable
Kupp (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Arizona, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.
He got the same designation last week and didn't ended up playing, listed as inactive for a win over Washington just three days after hurting his hamstring in practice. Kupp suggested he could be back as soon as Week 10, and it turns out the Seahawks could really use him even after trading for Rashid Shaheed. Tory Horton (shin) is listed as doubtful, likely joining backups Dareke Young (out - quad) and Jake Bobo (out - calf) on the inactive list. That doesn't mean Kupp will play if he isn't ready, but it does mean he could get a lot of snaps if he's active ahead of the 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff. If Kupp doesn't play, Shaheed and Cody White will be the favorites to join Jaxon Smith-Njigba for regular snaps at wide receiver.
