Beckham (back) is participating in the early portion of Friday's practice open to the media, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Beckham was limited in Thursday's practice due to a back issue, so it'll be worth monitoring whether he's able to upgrade to full participation when the Browns' final injury report of the week is released Friday afternoon. As long as he's able to suit up against the high-flying Cowboys offense Sunday, Beckham could be in line to benefit from a positive game script that forces more downfield looks.

Miller (hip) is on the field for the early portion of Friday's practice, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Miller looks as though he'll officially be listed as 'limited' on Friday's final practice report of the week, but that would be a notable step in the right direction coming off back-to-back absences. With Chris Godwin (hamstring) expected to sit out Sunday's game against the Chargers, Miller could see the opportunity for valuable added reps if he's able to get the green light and suit up.

Godwin (hamstring) was not spotted at the portion of Friday's practice open to the media, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Godwin appears set to miss his third straight practice of the week, which isn't too surprising considering that the star wideout is in danger of sitting out up to two games. When the Buccaneers release Friday's official practice report this afternoon, an official designation for Godwin's Week 4 availability will be provided.

Coach Doug Pederson said Arcega-Whiteside (calf) will "get some work" at practice Friday, Les Bowen of the Philadelphia Daily News reports.

The 2019 second-round pick was unable to practice Wednesday and Thursday, so any participation at Friday's session is a step in the right direction. Arcega-Whiteside's status for Week 4 should become clearer once Philadelphia releases its official injury report later in the day.

The Patriots cut Kinsey from the practice squad Thursday, Doug Kyed of NESN.com reports.

The undrafted rookie out of Berry College spent most of September on New England's practice squad, but he's now been replaced by veteran offensive lineman Jordan Roos.

Ward was the only Eagles receiver on the 53-man roster to practice Thursday, Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

With DeSean Jackson (hamstring), Alshon Jeffery (foot), J.J. Arcega-Whiteside (calf), John Hightower (illness) all missing the session, the Eagles ran their offense with Ward, three practice squad players and Quez Watkins (upper body), who was just designated to return from IR on Tuesday. Even if Jackson is able to return despite not having practiced yet this week, Week 4 will still likely be another busy one for the 25-year-old Ward.

Crowder (hamstring) secured seven of 10 targets for 104 yards in the Jets' 37-28 loss to the Broncos on Thursday.

Crowder made an immediate impact upon his return to action from a two-game absence, co-leading the Jets in receptions while pacing the team in receiving yards and targets. The one blemish on the veteran's night was that he couldn't get into the end zone, but his chemistry with quarterback Sam Darnold was otherwise on full display. With Crowder seemingly back at full health, he and Darnold will look to connect even more frequently in a Week 5 home matchup against the Cardinals on Sunday, Oct. 11.

Jeudy secured two of four targets for 64 yards and a touchdown in the Broncos' 37-28 win over the Jets on Thursday.

The rookie looked like he might be on his way to a big night early, as he recorded a 48-yard touchdown grab, the first of his NFL career, early in the second quarter. While Jeudy went on to finish with a modest line overall, the first-round pick demonstrated his elite physical skills by scaling over cornerback Pierre Desir to simultaneously prevent an interception, make a difficult catch, and walk into the end zone. Jeudy has arguably been held down some by shaky quarterback play thus far this season, but he'll head into a Week 5 road battle versus the Patriots with a decent 15-237-1 line over his first four games.

Patrick secured six of seven targets for 113 yards and a touchdown in the Broncos' 37-28 win over the Jets on Thursday.

Patrick paced the Broncos in receptions, receiving yards and targets on the night, flashing excellent rapport with first-time starter Brett Rypien. While his seven-yard touchdown reception in the third quarter helped give Denver some breathing room after it was clinging to a 17-16 lead, Patrick's biggest grab of the night may have come on a 31-yard reception late in the fourth quarter that took the ball to the Jets' 22-yard line. Brandon McManus was subsequently able to close out the drive with a 53-yard field goal that erased a 27-25 deficit for the Broncos, giving them a lead they wouldn't relinquish. With Courtland Sutton (knee) out for the remainder of the season, Patrick could certainly be in line for a career year if he can keep up his current momentum. He'll head into a Week 5 road matchup against the Patriots on Sunday, Oct. 11 with a 16-209-2 line over his first four contests.

Reynolds (illness) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, Kevin Modesti of the Los Angeles Daily News reports.

Reynolds didn't practice Wednesday due to an illness, but it looks as though he's already returned to full health. The 25-year-old saw 90 percent of offensive snaps Week 3, and he now looks in line to handle his usual role on offense behind Cooper Kupp and Robert Woods during Sunday's game against the Giants.
