Beckham (illness) will play Sunday against the Steelers after a number of tests all came back negative, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

The fact Beckham has now tested negative for COVID-19 on multiple occasions locks in the star wide receiver for a showdown against the division-rival Steelers. It's worth noting Beckham has not practiced at the team's facility since Thursday, but coach Kevin Stefanski dismissed the notion it could drastically affect the wide receiver's factor in the game plan. Beckham ranks 14th among NFL WRs in targets (39) and has seen back-to-back weeks with at least eight, which he's parlayed into 10 receptions for 139 yards and two touchdowns.

Westbrook-Ikhine is expected to operate in a reserve role Sunday versus the Texans following news that Adam Humphries (illness) has been activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list.

Westbrook-Ikhine has played in three games this season and logged a whopping 68 percent snap share in Week 4 with both Humphries and Corey Davis (illness) out. Davis isn't expected to return this week, but Humphries, A.J. Brown and Kalif Raymond will handle a majority of the three-wide sets Sunday.

Moore (thigh) is questionable for Sunday's game versus the Eagles.

Moore managed to practice without limitations Friday, but his status is still in question for Week 6. The 27-year-old receiver has yet to play this season, as he also battled a finger injury. With Miles Boykin (thigh) questionable, Moore could handle a decent workload in three-wide sets if he's able to play, although rookie Devin Duvernay is expected to slot in as well.

Brown (knee) doesn't carry an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Texans after practicing fully Friday, Erik Bacharach of The Tennessean reports.

The Titans' top wideout didn't practice Thursday, but that was after the team didn't work out Wednesday following Tuesday's win over the Bills. Brown's absence can therefore be chalked up to rep management. In his return to action Week 5 after missing two games, Brown was on the field for 47 of a possible 66 snaps on offense, while hauling in seven of his nine targets for 82 yards and a TD. He'll remain a primary target for QB Ryan Tannehill once again this weekend against 1-4 Houston.

Boykin is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Eagles due to a thigh injury, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.

Boykin was a new addition to Friday's injury report, as Zrebiec notes, a hint that he could have picked up his thigh issue during practice. The second-year pro was held without a catch on two targets Week 5, and he has yet to surpass 40 receiving yards in a game this season. If Boykin were forced to miss any time, it could provide rookies Devin Duvernay and James Proche additional opportunities to work their way into Baltimore's offense.

Perriman (ankle) is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Miami.

Perriman practiced on a limited basis all week and coach Adam Gase expects him to play, so he's more likely than not to suit up. Still, we'll have to wait a little longer for official word on whether the deep threat will be ready to return for his first game action since Week 2.

Osborn (hamstring) is ruled out for Sunday's game against the Falcons, Chad Graff of The Athletic reports.

Osborn will miss his second game in a row due to a lingering hamstring injury. As long as he's sidelined, Chad Beebe will handle punt returns while Ameer Abdullah stands to return kickoffs.

Miller (hip/groin) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game against the Packers, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

Limited in practice all week, Miller has been cleared to suit up Week 6 along with position mates Mike Evans (ankle) and Chris Godwin (hamstring). In the two games all three have been active this season, Miller totaled eight catches (on 11 targets) for 156 yards. That said, the going may be tough versus a Green Bay defense that has conceded 151 receiving yards per game to wideouts in 2020.

Shenault (hamstring) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Lions.

The rookie second-round pick began the week not practicing due to a hamstring issue, but he progressed throughout the week to avoid the questionable tag. Shenault has 12 receptions for 165 yards over the past two games and figures to be heavily involved again Sunday, especially if DJ Chark (ankle) is unable to suit up.

Evans (ankle) will play in Sunday's game against the Packers, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

While he never made it back to full practice participation, Evans doesn't have an injury designation for Week 6. He'll have a bit of added target competition this Sunday, with Chris Godwin cleared to play for the first time since Week 3.
