Davis (hamstring) practiced fully Friday. Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Davis was limited on Thursday, but now that he's practicing fully, the wideout is slated to start opposite top option A.J. Brown in Monday night's season opener against the Broncos. Davis' performance last year (43-601-2 in 15 games) relative to where he was drafted -- No. 5 overall in 2017 -- was disappointing, but the 6-foot-3, 209-pounder has plenty of untapped potential if he can bring more consistency to his game in 2020.

Dorsett (foot), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game in Atlanta, didn't practice Friday, Curtis Crabtree of Sports Radio 950 KJR Seattle reports.

After putting together limited showings in the first two practices of Week 1 prep, Dorsett didn't take the field at all Friday. A sore foot is to blame, and Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic speculates that Dorsett may be trending toward a game-time decision. The Seahawks officially will make a call on Dorsett about 90 minutes before Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff, but even if he's available, the situation may allow David Moore to get more reps in three-wide sets with Tyler Lockett and DK Metcalf.

Diggs, who was bothered by a back issue at the beginning of the month, practiced fully all week and doesn't appear on Buffalo's injury report ahead of Week 1.

The marquee offseason addition is ready to make his Bills debut as the team's top wideout. The Jets are not expected to have a great secondary, especially after dealing Jamal Adams to the Seahawks this offseason, so this may be about as good of a matchup as Diggs will see in the early part of Buffalo's schedule. Neither his skill set nor the powerful arm of Josh Allen can be questioned, but it'll be interesting to see how quickly the rapport develops between the two, given the lack of preseason action this summer.

Aiyuk (hamstring) remained limited Friday at practice and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Aiyuk closes out the week with back-to-back limited sessions after being held out entirely Wednesday. Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area believes the rookie could have a limited role even if he's active for the season opener, with the hamstring injury and corresponding missed practice time potentially restricting his involvement in the offense. There's also some concern that poor air quality in Santa Clara could force the NFL to relocate or postpone the game, so it's a messy situation all around. With Deebo Samuel (foot) already ruled out, the team has Kendrick Bourne, Trent Taylor, Dante Pettis and Richie James as its healthy options at wide receiver.

Samuel (foot) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Coach Kyle Shanahan was optimistic about Samuel returning from mid-June foot surgery for Week 1, but the wideout never even made it to the practice field this week, instead remaining focused on his rehab. With no report of a setback, it's possible Samuel could return as soon as Week 2 or 3. In the meantime, the 49ers will rely on some combination of Kendrick Bourne, Trent Taylor, Dante Pettis and Richie James, plus rookie first-round pick Brandon Aiyuk (hamstring, questionable) if he's available. Bourne, Taylor, Pettis and Aiyuk are the favorites to see Week 1 snaps and targets.

Dorsett (foot) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game in Atlanta, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Dorsett initially hurt his foot during an Aug. 22 scrimmage, but he's been practicing in some capacity since the beginning of September. Coach Pete Carroll said he expects the speedy wideout to play in Sunday's contest, where Dorsett likely will operate as the No. 3 receiver. It is possible he shares the role with David Moore, and the Seahawks' offseason moves seem to hint at a desire to incorporate more multi-TE formations. Even so, there will always be some potential for a successful deep ball when Dorsett's 4.33 speed is combined with Russell Wilson's accurate downfield passing.

Johnson was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Friday afternoon, Kyle Odegard of the Cardinals' official site reports.

This explains why Johnson was held out of practice Thursday and Friday for non-injury reasons, though it doesn't necessarily mean he tested positive for COVID-19, as it's possible he merely came into contact with an infected individual. The timing suggests he isn't likely to play in Sunday's game against the 49ers, though he might've been a healthy scratch even if he were available.

Though listed as a full practice participant Friday, the Patriots labeled Harry (shoulder) questionable for Sunday's season opener against the Dolphins.

We'd be surprised if Harry was sidelined this weekend, and if he does suit up, the second-year wideout should see his share of snaps alongside the team's top pass-catching option Julian Edelman. Now listed as a starter, the 2019 first-rounder is poised to see an expanded role in New England's offense. At 6-foot-4, 225 pounds, Harry has the size and ability to go up and snatch contested throws, which could result in him making an impact in the red zone this season.

Olszewski (foot) won't play in Sunday's game versus the Dolphins, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

Olszewski looked good in training camp, but he sustained an injury recently and won't be available for the season opener. With N'Keal Harry (shoulder) considered questionable, the Patriots' receiver corps could be shorthanded in Week 1. Jakobi Meyers and Matthew Slater should both see increased reps to start the year as a result.

Cooper (hamstring) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game against the Rams in L.A., Clarence E. Hill Jr. of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.

The Cowboys held Cooper out of practice to kick off September, but when Week 1 rolled around he was able to handle every rep at all three sessions. He's thus poised to act as the team's No. 1 wide receiver Sunday night and play at "full capacity," as Mike McCarthy told Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News on Thursday. Cooper could have a tough go of it, though, as the Rams boast a top cover corner in Jalen Ramsey.
