Kupp missed Friday's practice due to a stomach illness, but he's expected to be fine for Sunday's game against Chicago, Lindsey Thiry of ESPN.com reports.

It's unclear if the Rams view the ailment as enough of a concern to list Kupp as questionable on their final injury report. The wide receiver is looking to bounce back from last week's goose egg against the Steelers, but he'll be tasked with trying to get open against another tough defense Sunday night.

Dulin (neck) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Jaguars.

Dulin surfaced on the injury report for the first time Thursday but was back as a full participant Friday. Although the Colts' receiving corps is banged up, the 22-year-old has yet to see more than four offensive snaps in any game this season.

Pettis (groin) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

Pettis arguably has a bit more intrigue with Emmanuel Sanders (ribs) also listed as questionable, but recent comments from coach Kyle Shanahan don't bode well for the second-year pro. The 49ers used Deebo Samuel and Kendrick Bourne ahead of Pettis after Sanders suffered the rib injury during Monday's 27-24 loss to Seattle. It'll be interesting to see the 49ers' inactive list approximately 90 minutes before Sunday's 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff, as they have five players listed as out or doubtful and a slew of others considered questionable. The team may ultimately need to use active roster spots on one or two players who aren't actually healthy enough to take snaps.

Coach Bill O'Brien said Friday that Coutee "did a good job" in the Texans' practices this week, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.

O'Brien didn't clarify how that comment relates to his plans for Coutee in Sunday's game against the Ravens, but the second-year wideout would seem to have a good shot at avoiding an inactive status for the third contest in a row. In addition to his apparently positive work in practice, Coutee is aided by the fact that fellow receiver Will Fuller (hamstring) is listed as questionable for the game. Even if Fuller is ultimately ruled out, Coutee would likely rank no better than fourth in the pecking order at receiver behind starters DeAndre Hopkins and Kenny Stills and slot specialist DeAndre Carter.

Brown (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Texans after returning to a limited participation in practice Friday.

Brown was held out of Thursday's practice, but his Week 11 outlook brightened when he was able to return to the field Friday. Those hoping to use the rookie in fantasy lineups this weekend will learn of his status before the first wave of kickoffs Sunday, with Baltimore hosting Houston at 1 p.m. ET.

Olszewski (ankle/hamstring) is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Eagles.

Olszewski was limited in Friday's practice due to ankle and hamstring issues. If the rookie were forced to miss any time, Matthew Slater and Julian Edelman would be called upon to field kicks and punts, respectively.

Erickson (back) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game in Oakland.

Erickson returned to practice Thursday as a limited participant before upgrading to a full session Friday. He should have at least one or two more weeks with a top-three role in Zac Taylor's three-wide-heavy offense, as A.J. Green (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game after sitting out every practice this week. Erickson's four games with snap shares above 50 percent have yielded 18 catches for 281 yards on 29 targets, though most of that production came with Andy Dalton playing quarterback rather than Ryan Finey. There's also some chance for rookie Stanley Morgan to take away a slice of the snaps and targets that have been going to Erickson and Auden Tate.

Johnson was diagnosed with a concussion after exiting Thursday's 21-7 loss to the Browns following a helmet-to-helmet hit from Cleveland safety Damarious Randall, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Pittsburgh ended up losing both of its top two receivers to concussions in the contest, as JuJu Smith-Schuster exited in the first half with the head injury before Johnson followed him to the locker room in the third quarter. Johnson's concussion may have been the more significant of the two, as Schefter notes the rookie was bleeding from his ear after being hit by Randall. Johnson will need to clear the NFL's five-step protocol before he's able to play again, but the fact that Pittsburgh's next game won't come until Nov. 24 in Cincinnati should aid his efforts.

Harris (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers.

Harris was unable to practice this week and will miss his first game of the season. The 21-year-old has three grabs for 10 yards on the season but typically makes his biggest impact as a kick and punt returner.

Cooper (knee/ankle) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game in Detroit, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.

A thigh bruise in Week 6 forced Cooper out of a loss to the Jets after just three snaps, but he's otherwise been able to play at a high level while battling a variety of physical issues. His presence at practice Thursday and Friday suggests he'll be fine to handle his usual workload come Sunday, potentially drawing a shadow matchup with Lions cornerback Darius Slay.
