Goodwin (foot) didn't participate in Friday's practice.

With two absences from practice to begin Week 15 prep, Goodwin will likely need to get back on the field in some fashion Saturday to have a realistic shot at playing Monday against the Vikings. While Goodwin has been out the past two games, Jakeem Grant and Damiere Byrd have both been able to pick up extra reps at receiver alongside Darnell Mooney and Allen Robinson (reserve/COVID-19 list).

Grant was a full participant in Friday's practice after sitting out Thursday's walk-through session due to an illness.

Grant was one of eight Bears who wasn't on the field Thursday on account of an illness. All but one of those players returned to the field Friday as full participants, temporarily alleviating some concern about a team-wide COVID-19 breakout. With that in mind, Grant should be ready to go for Monday's game against the Vikings. He's coming off a big Week 14 game in which he returned a punt for a touchdown and turned in his lone reception for a 46-yard score in the Bears' 45-30 loss to the Packers.

St. Brown (concussion) is doubtful for Sunday's game at Baltimore.

St. Brown suffered the concussion last week against the Bears and is expected to be sidelined for at least one game. Amari Rodgers and Juwann Winfree should serve as the Packers' depth wide receivers Sunday.

Samuel (hamstring) and Washington will no longer play the Eagles on Sunday, after the NFL officially rescheduled the matchup between the two teams for Tuesday at 7 p.m. ET.

Due to ongoing COVID-19-related issues within Washington's organization, the NFL is hopeful that by delaying the game two days, the Football Team will restore enough players from the reserve/COVID-19 list to alleviate depth concerns on the roster. Though Samuel isn't one of the several Washington players who has tested positive for the virus, he could benefit from the two-day delay, given that he was held out of practice Wednesday through Friday with a sore hamstring. Washington will decide by Sunday whether Samuel carries a designation into Tuesday's game, but even if cleared to play, he likely won't be entrusted with a major role. Samuel hasn't played more than 35 percent of the offensive snaps in any of his five appearances this season.

Humphries and Washington will no longer play the Eagles on Sunday, after the NFL officially rescheduled the matchup between the two teams for Tuesday at 7 p.m. ET.

Due to ongoing COVID-19-related issues within Washington's organization, the NFL is hopeful that by delaying the game two days, the Football Team will restore enough players from the reserve/COVID-19 list to alleviate depth concerns on the roster.

Carter and Washington will no longer play the Eagles on Sunday, after the NFL officially rescheduled the matchup between the two teams for Tuesday at 7 p.m. ET.

Due to ongoing COVID-19-related issues within Washington's organization, the NFL is hopeful that by delaying the game two days, the Football Team will restore enough players from the reserve/COVID-19 list to alleviate depth concerns on the roster.

McLaurin (concussion) and Washington will no longer play the Eagles on Sunday, after the NFL officially rescheduled the matchup between the two teams for Tuesday at 7 p.m. ET.

Due to ongoing COVID-19-related issues within Washington's organization, the NFL is hopeful that by delaying the game two days, the Football Team will restore enough players from the reserve/COVID-19 list to alleviate depth concerns on the roster. Assuming the game is held Tuesday as expected, McLaurin should be in good shape to play after he made notable progress in his recovery from the concussion by practicing in a limited capacity Thursday and Friday. Per Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post, head coach Ron Rivera said Friday that he's very optimistic McLaurin will exit the five-step concussion protocol before Tuesday's game, with the wideout's availability ultimately hinging on him getting clearance from an independent neurologist. Even if McLaurin suits up Tuesday, he may have to work with an unfamiliar quarterback, as the top two options on the depth chart -- starter Taylor Heinicke and top backup Kyle Allen -- tested positive for COVID-19 over the past few days, leaving the availability of both signal-callers in flux for Week 15.

Brown (illness) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Packers, Jamison Hensley of ESPN reports.

Brown was listed as limited on Friday's practice estimate, but the Ravens held a walk-through rather than actually practicing. Still, that's a step in the right direction after a non-COVID illness kept Brown from practicing Thursday. If he suits up, which quarterback will be throwing Brown the ball won't be determined until shortly before game time, as Lamar Jackson (ankle) is listed as questionable after failing to practice in any capacity throughout the week.

Metcalf (foot/back) and the Seahawks will no longer play the Rams on Sunday, after the NFL officially rescheduled the matchup between the two teams for Tuesday at 7 p.m. ET.

Due to ongoing COVID-19-related issues within the Rams organization, the NFL is hopeful that by delaying the game two days, Los Angeles will be able to restore enough players from the reserve/COVID-19 list to alleviate depth concerns on the roster. The two-day delay could also provide sufficient time for Metcalf to heal up from the pair of injuries that kept him from practicing Wednesday and Thursday. If he gains clearance from his injuries ahead of Tuesday's game and if Tyler Lockett (illness) isn't reinstated from the reserve/COVID-19 list, Metcalf could be locked in as quarterback Russell Wilson's clear top target Week 15.

Lockett (illness) and the Seahawks will no longer play the Rams on Sunday, after the NFL officially rescheduled the matchup between the two teams for Tuesday at 7 p.m. ET.

Due to ongoing COVID-19-related issues within the Rams organization, the NFL is hopeful that by delaying the game two days, Los Angeles will be able to restore enough players from the reserve/COVID-19 list to alleviate depth concerns on the roster. The two-day delay could also provide sufficient time for Lockett to return from the reserve/COVID-19 list after he tested positive for the virus Thursday, with his potential availability hinging on whether or not he's experiencing any symptoms. If Lockett doesn't clear the necessary protocols prior to Tuesday's game, the Seahawks will likely turn to a combination of Freddie Swain (ankle), Dee Eskridge (foot) and Penny Hart to handle reps at receiver alongside starter DK Metcalf (foot).
