Hopkins (ribs) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at Jacksonville, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

As expected, after coach Kliff Kingsbury revealed earlier Friday that Hopkins would come down to a game-time decision ahead of the team's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff. The wideout didn't practice at all this week, but it might not mean as much for Hopkins as other players, given his long history of playing through nagging injuries without many practice reps. However, he typically logs at least one limited practice, so there is real cause for concern this week. If Hopkins ends up sitting, the Cardinals can trot out A.J. Green, Rondale Moore and Christian Kirk for three-wide sets, with Andy Isabella and Antoine Wesley then providing depth.

Cooper (ribs) practiced in full Friday, Armando Salguero of OutKick reports.

Previously, Cooper was believed to be dealing with bruised ribs, but the wide receiver revealed Friday that he sustained cracked ribs Week 1, per Jon Machota of The Athletic. "It's getting better every day," Cooper said. "I'll be ready." He bumped from limited at Thursday's session to uninhibited Friday, so he's indeed getting healthier by the day. Assuming no setbacks this weekend, Cooper should be good to go Monday against the Eagles.

Washington is line for more work Sunday against the Bengals with Diontae Johnson (knee) ruled out for the contest.

Johnson was forced out on the final play of the Steelers' Week 2 loss to the Raiders, requiring assistance from two people to get off the field. His knee injury will keep him out at least one game, and Washington figures to benefit when the offense uses three-wide sets Sunday. But he'll be working behind JuJu Smith-Schuster and Chase Claypool, who could gobble up more of the available looks than Washington. For the season, Washington has been targeted three times en route to two catches for 10 yards.

Patrick (hip) was a full participant in practice Friday and is expected to play Sunday against the Jets, Zac Stevens of DNVR Sports reports.

Patrick started the week with a pair of limited sessions, but he was cleared for a full practice Friday and subsequently should suit up without limitations come Sunday. He's opened the season on a two-game touchdown streak and has a nice opportunity to extend it in Denver's home opener against New York's inexperienced secondary.

Higgins (shoulder) officially is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game at Pittsburgh, Jay Morrison of The Athletic reports.

Higgins made some progress by following up no activity Wednesday and Thursday with a limited session Friday, but the Bengals don't appear too optimistic about his status for Week 3. During media availability Friday, coach Zac Taylor told Ben Baby of ESPN.com that pain tolerance will be the key for Higgins potentially getting to play Sunday. "We'll try to give him every second we can give him before he tells us one way or the other," Taylor said. As a result, the final decision on Higgins' availability may not come until 90 minutes before Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff.

Campbell (abdomen) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Titans.

Campbell started the week with consecutive limited practices but was cleared after a full practice Friday. Quarterback Carson Wentz (ankles) also progressed Friday, logging a limited session after a pair of absences to earn a questionable tag. Campbell has some intriguing upside against the porous Titans secondary, but he's unlikely to realize that upside if Wentz sits.

Johnson (knee) won't play Sunday against the Bengals.

Johnson was unable to practice all week, so it remains to be seen if he'll have a chance to return to action Week 4 versus Green Bay. In his confirmed absence this weekend, James Washington figures to step up as the Steelers' No. 3 receiver (behind JuJu Smith-Schuster and Chase Claypool), with the team potentially also rolling out more multi-tight end looks Sunday.

Mooney (groin) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game in Cleveland.

Mooney was a limited practice participant Wednesday through Friday, after seeing a team-high eight targets (6-66-0) on 89 percent snap share in the Week 2 win over Cincinnati. If Mooney ends up on the inactive list ahead of Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff, the Bears likely will turn to Marquise Goodwin and/or Damiere Byrd across from Allen Robinson. The team also has Breshad Perriman, but he was a healthy scratch for the first two games.

Goodwin (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Browns.

Goodwin hasn't had any limitations in practice, so it's curious to see his name appear on the injury report at all. Nonetheless, the veteran wide receiver likely will be able to give it a go as he tries to build on his modest season totals of five catches for 55 yards through two games.

Davis (ankle) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against Washington.

Davis has been impacted by an ankle injury the past two weeks, with the second-year wide receiver logging limited practices Wednesday and Thursday. Fortunately for Davis, he managed every rep to wrap up Week 3 prep, clearing him to suit up this weekend. He's served as the Bills' No. 4 WR this season en route to two catches (on five targets) for 40 yards and one TD, all of which occurred in the team's opener.
