Adams (hamstring) isn't practicing Friday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

A third consecutive absence suggests Adams is in serious danger of missing Sunday night's game in New Orleans. It would be a huge blow to the Green Bay offense, though Allen Lazard and Marquez Valdes-Scantling both have played pretty well this year. Another update will be available when the Packers release their final Week 3 injury report Friday afternoon.

Sims (toe) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game in Cleveland, Kyle Stackpole of Washington's official site reports.

Sims upgraded his practice participation throughout the week, going from absent (Wednesday) to limited (Thursday) to full (Friday). He should be out there Sunday as Washington's No. 2 receiver, but fantasy managers will want to make sure when the team releases its inactive list around 11:30 a.m. ET on Sunday. Sims has played 87 percent of offensive snaps this season while also returning punts and kickoffs.

Berrios is expected to start Sunday's game against the Colts with both Breshad Perriman (ankle) and Jamison Crowder (hamstring) sidelined, Chris Ryan of NJ.com reports.

Berrios had 59 yards and a touchdown with Crowder out last week, and the fill-in slot receiver should continue to get plenty of attention from quarterback Sam Darnold. With Chris Hogan and Josh Malone starting on the outside, Berrios and tight end Chris Herndon should be heavily relied upon in the short and intermediate passing game.

Ford caught both his targets for 14 yards during Thursday's 31-13 win over the Jaguars.

Ford had seven catches for 76 yards Week 2, but he took a clear back seat to all of DeVante Parker, Preston Williams, Mike Gesicki and Myles Gaskin in the passing game during Thursday's victory. The 24-year-old looks destined to continue splitting No. 3 WR reps with Jakeem Grant, a role which will make him difficult to trust as a fantasy option in Miami's low-floor offense.

Watson (shoulder) is out for Sunday's game in Denver, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.

Watson filled in for Chris Godwin (concussion) in last week's 31-17 win over the Panthers, catching two of three targets for 48 yards while playing 89 percent of snaps on offense. Godwin is back in the lineup for Week 3, while Watson will take his turn on the inactive list. Coach Bruce Arians suggested No. 3 receiver Scotty Miller (hip/groin) will be available Sunday.

Kirk (groin) isn't participating in the media-access portion of Friday's practice, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Absent from practice for a third straight day, Kirk figures to have a designation on the final injury report, though it remains to be seen which one. The lack of practice participation suggests a game-time decision is the best-case scenario.

Coach Adam Gase has ruled Crowder (hamstring) out for Sunday's game against the Colts, Ethan B. Greenberg of the Jets' official site reports.

Crowder will miss his second straight contest due to a lingering hamstring injury, and he'll face a quick turnaround to get healthy for Week 4 with a Thursday night contest against the Broncos on deck. With Breshad Perriman (ankle) also unavailable against Indianapolis, and Le'Veon Bell (hamstring) still on IR, it looks like the Jets' receiving corps will be led by Chris Hogan (ribs) and Braxton Berrios on Sunday.

Coach Adam Gase said Friday that Perriman (ankle) is ruled out for Sunday's game against the Colts, Ethan B. Greenberg of the Jets' official site reports.

Gase has also expressed doubt that Perriman will be available Week 4 against the Broncos on Thursday Night Football. With Jamison Crowder (hamstring) also ruled out versus Indianapolis, Sam Darnold will need to make the most of the Jets' only available receivers in Chris Hogan (ribs), Braxton Berrios and Josh Malone. Perriman is considered week-to-week due to his sprained ankle.

Shenault secured five of six targets for 33 yards and rushed once for one yard in the Jaguars' 31-13 loss to the Dolphins on Thursday.

The versatile rookie mainly stuck to receiver duties in the lopsided loss, a departure from Week 2 in particular, when he logged five rushes. However, his work through the air ticked up, as the six targets Shenault logged Thursday were his most yet through three games. The Colorado product figures to be progressively involved in multiple facets as the season unfolds, with the 10-day time span until a Week 4 road matchup against the Bengals potentially affording offensive coordinator Jay Gruden extra time to devise some specialty plays for the second-round pick.

Cole brought in four of five targets for 43 yards and returned one kickoff for 24 yards in the Jaguars' 31-13 loss to the Dolphins on Thursday.

With DJ Chark (chest) sidelined for Thursday's game, Cole was third in receptions and second in receiving yardage on the night. The 27-year-old has gotten plenty of attention from quarterback Gardner Minshew through the first three games of the season, as he's now logged 17 targets, 15 of which he's brought in for 148 yards and two touchdowns. Cole saw his role diminish last season while playing with Minshew and Nick Foles -- he slumped to a career-low 24 receptions for 361 yards over 16 games -- but his outlook appears much brighter through the first three games of 2020. Cole will look to keep up the momentum, with or without Chark available, when the Jaguars face the Bengals in a Week 4 road matchup in Sunday, Oct. 4.
