Robinson missed another practice Friday and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Saints.

It wouldn't be totally unheard of for a player to pass through the concussion protocol and play in a game without logging any practice time, but Robinson faces the added challenge of doing it on a short week, having suffered the brain injury during Monday's loss to the Rams. A 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff will make things more difficult for fantasy managers if the wideout's availability comes down to a game-time decision, and there's also potential for strong winds to impact passing in the Saints-Bears game. On the other hand, Robinson is averaging 77.7 yards and 10 targets per week, so there's still plenty of upside even in suboptimal circumstances. If he ends up missing the game, Javon Wims would be the most likely fill-in starter, while a slew of players could see added targets.

Chisena (undisclosed) is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Green Bay.

Even if he suits up, Chisena's impact is likely to be limited to special teams situations. His contributions on the stat sheet through six games have been limited to one fumble recovery.

Parker (groin) practiced in full Friday and does not have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Rams, Armando Salguero of the Miami Herald reports.

Parker was limited by a groin injury during the week's first two practices, but as expected he's on track for Sunday's game against the Rams. The No. 1 wideout's presence will allow rookie quarterback Tua Tagovailoa the benefit of having his top weapon available in his first NFL start against a tough Los Angeles defense.

Brown (knee) returned to practice Friday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

The wideout's return to the field Friday following a Thursday absence suggests that he could well have been held out for maintenance purposes. Such a notion would be confirmed if Brown ends up not carrying an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Bengals.

Harry (concussion) wasn't spotted at practice Friday, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

With Julian Edelman (knee) out and Harry looking unlikely to suit up Sunday against the Bills, the Patriots' available wide receivers are Damiere Byrd, Jakobi Meyers and Gunner Olszewski, with Isaiah Zuber, Mason Kinsey and Kristian Wilkerson candidates to be promoted from the team's practice squad.

Coach Brian Flores said Friday that he expects Parker (groin) to suit up for Sunday's game against the Rams, Armando Salguero of the Miami Herald reports.

Parker began the week with back-to-back limited practice sessions due to a lingering groin injury, but it looks like he'll play through the issue during Tua Tagovailoa's first start. As long as Parker is able to participate on at least a limited basis Friday, he can be safely considered on track to face the Rams.

Perriman (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Chiefs, Brian Costello of the New York Post reports.

Perriman was unable to practice this week while in the concussion protocol, and he'll be sidelined for at least one game after suffering the concussion versus the Bills last week. Jamison Crowder (groin) appears unlikely to be available, likely leaving Denzel Mims and Braxton Berrios to work as New York's top two wide receivers in Kansas City.

Crowder (groin) won't participate at Friday's practice, Brian Costello of the New York Post reports.

The 27-year-old regressed from working as a limited participant Thursday and appears unlikely to be available for Sunday's game against the Chiefs. Crowder's status will receive more clarity once the team releases its official injury report later Friday. Breshad Perriman (concussion) has already been ruled out, likely leaving Denzel Mims and Braxton Berrios to operate as the Jets' top-two wideouts.

Gage reeled in two of his three targets for 25 receiving yards during Thursday's 25-17 win against Carolina.

Gage had gotten on track Weeks 6 and 7 against Minnesota and Detroit by producing 10 combined receptions for 119 yards, but with a quiet performance Thursday night the third-year receiver has now been held under 30 receiving yards in four of his past six outings. Calvin Ridley (ankle) had to exit the divisional win midway through the second quarter due to injury, but thankfully X-rays have come back negative. If Ridley's subsequent MRI has a less favorable outcome, however, Gage would likely be in line for an enhanced workload Week 9 against the 2-4 Broncos.

Ridley (ankle) had X-rays come back negative Friday but now is scheduled to undergo an MRI, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

The team announced the injury as an ankle issue after the 25-year-old exited Thursday's win over the Panthers, though Rapoport referred to it as a foot injury. Regardless, the X-ray results are good news, but Ridley's status remains up in the air while awaiting the results of an MRI.
