  • Charlie Jones WR | CIN

    Bengals' Charlie Jones: Cleared to face Packers

    Jones (Achilles) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Packers, Kelsey Conway of the Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

    Jones upgraded to full practice participation Friday after a pair of limited sessions. He played through this injury in the Week 5 loss to the Lions and should handle his usual role as a returner on punts and kickoffs against the Packers.

  • Chargers' Quentin Johnston: Status in question for Sunday

    Johnston (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at Miami.

    Johnston practiced in a limited fashion both Wednesday and Thursday due to a hamstring injury, and so far he hasn't done enough to gain clearance for Week 6 action. His status will be clarified about 90 minutes before Sunday's 1:00 kickoff, and if he's active he'll be looking to build upon the 26-377-4 line on 40 targets that he's racked up through five contests this season.

  • Mike Evans WR | TB

    Buccaneers' Mike Evans: Ruled out

    Evans (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the 49ers.

    Evans hasn't practiced since straining his hamstring Week 3 against the Jets. With Chris Godwin (fibula) also out this week, Sterling Shepard and Tez Johnson are the favorites to take snaps alongside Emeka Egbuka in three-wide formations. The Buccaneers haven't ruled Evans out beyond Sunday, but there also hasn't been any sign or hint of progress yet, leaving him on shaky ground for a Week 7 matchup at Detroit on Monday, Oct. 20.

  • Bryce Oliver WR | TEN

    Titans' Bryce Oliver: Ruled out for Sunday

    Oliver (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Raiders, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

    Despite returning to practice for the first time since sustaining a knee injury in Tennessee's Week 2 loss to the Rams, Oliver is in line to miss his fourth consecutive game Sunday. While the Youngstown State product remains sidelined, expect Julius Chestnut and Chimere Dike to operate as the Titans' top kick returners.

  • Chiefs' Xavier Worthy: Expected to play Sunday

    Coach Andy Reid said Friday that he expects Worthy (shoulder/ankle) to be available Sunday night against the Lions, Sam McDowell of The Kansas City Star reports.

    Worthy got the day off Thursday due to the pair of injuries that have bothered him at times this season, but his return to drills Friday seemingly went well, as Reid noted that the wide receiver was "moving around good" and "did everything." Once the Chiefs post their final Week 6 practice report, his status will become known ahead of the weekend.

  • Alec Pierce WR | IND

    Colts' Alec Pierce: Back in fold for Week 6

    Head coach Shane Steichen said Friday that Pierce (concussion) will play Sunday against the Cardinals, Amanda Foster of the Colts' official site reports.

    Pierce has cleared the NFL's five-step concussion protocol after missing the Colts' previous two games. He'll reclaim a role in three-receiver sets alongside Josh Downs and Michael Pittman, which will likely snuff out the limited fantasy utility Ashton Dulin and Adonai Mitchell had provided during Pierce's absence.

  • Chris Godwin WR | TB

    Buccaneers' Chris Godwin: Ruled out

    Godwin (fibula) is ruled out for Sunday's game against the 49ers and now considered week-to-week, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.

    Godwin didn't practice at all this week, after topping 70 percent snap share Weeks 4 and 5. It appears the Bucs brought Godwin back too soon, though Bucs coach Todd Bowles said Friday that the wideout's current injury isn't to the part of his fibula that he broke last year. With both Godwin and Mike Evans (hamstring) out of the lineup again, Tampa Bay will turn to Sterling Shepard and Tez Johnson alongside rookie standout Emeka Egbuka. Depth options include Ryan Miller and Kameron Johnson.

  • Ja'Marr Chase WR | CIN

    Bengals' Ja'Marr Chase: Questionable for Sunday

    Coach Zac Taylor noted Friday that Chase (illness) will be listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Packers, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.

    Per Baby, Chase didn't practice Friday due to his illness, but Kelsey Conway of The Cincinnati Enquirer previously reported that the wideout participated in the team's walkthrough. In any case, Chase's status now will need to be monitored ahead of Sunday's 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff. Look for added context on that front to arrive late Saturday or early Sunday, once national reporters like ESPN's Adam Schefter and/or NFL Network's Ian Rapoport post their weekly injury/status updates.

  • Buccaneers' Jalen McMillan: Still in neck brace

    Head coach Todd Bowles said Friday that McMillan (neck) is still in a neck brace, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.

    Bowles provided some positivity by stating that McMillan's getting better, and the team hopes that the wide receiver will be able to play at some point this season, though the coach doesn't know when he'll be available to practice. McMillan was placed on injured reserve in August with a designation to return after landing on his neck and head after a catch in the preseason. The Buccaneers have gotten terrific production out of rookie first-round pick Emeka Egbuka at wide receiver but are expected to be without both Mike Evans (hamstring) and Chris Godwin (fibula) in Week 6 against the 49ers.

  • Jalen Coker WR | CAR

    Panthers' Jalen Coker: Treated as game-time call

    Coker (quadriceps) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Dallas and will be treated as a game-time decision, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.

    He's been on injured reserve since the start of the season and just returned to practice Wednesday, but Coker seemingly has a good chance to play after the Panthers listed him as a full participant all week. He may even have a top-three role at WR if he's activated from injured reserve before the 4:00 p.m. ET deadline Saturday, as the Panthers haven't gotten much from Xavier Legette and Hunter Renfrow this year.
