Grant (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's contest versus the Redskins, Safid Deen of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

The Dolphins won't make a final decision on Grant's availability until about 90 minutes before Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff, but Adam H. Beasley of the Miami Herald reported Thursday that he's unlikely to play this weekend. Meanwhile, fellow wide receiver Albert Wilson (calf/hip) also is questionable, leaving DeVante Parker and Preston Williams as the team's top healthy options at the position right now.

Erickson (concussion) is not listed on Friday's injury report, Tyler Dragon of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Erickson has managed to clear the league's concussion protocol in time to suit up Sunday versus Baltimore. He's primed to play a regular role in Cincinnati's receiving corps behind Tyler Boyd and Auden Tate.

Coach Andy Reid termed Hill (shoulder) a game-time decision for Sunday's contest against the Texans, BJ Kissel of the Chiefs' official site reports.

An official game designation has yet to be released, but it appears Hill is questionable to play for the first time since Week 1, when he sustained a sternoclavicular joint injury. Assuming he returns Sunday, he likely won't have to compete for reps with Sammy Watkins, who is doubtful to suit up this weekend due to a hamstring injury.

Brown (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bengals, with his absence from practice throughout the week suggesting he isn't likely to play, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.

Coach John Harbaugh admitted he was disappointed when Brown had to be held out of practice Friday for a third straight day. The Ravens aren't quite ready to rule out their top receiver, but Harbaugh acknowledged it will come down to a game-day decision before Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff. In the event Brown is declared inactive, candidates to replace his snaps and targets would include wide receivers Miles Boykin, Willie Snead, Seth Roberts and Chris Moore, along with tight ends Mark Andrews (shoulder) and Hayden Hurst.

Adams (toe) isn't practicing Friday, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

This doesn't come as any surprise after Adams acknowledged Thursday that his toe isn't improving the way he had hoped. Saturday will mark his final chance to practice before Monday's game against the Lions.

Thielen (illness) isn't listed on the Vikings' final injury report for Sunday's game against Philadelphia.

Thielen made a quick recovery, returning to practice Thursday after he was held out of Wednesday's session. He'll take aim at an injury-plagued Eagles secondary that's given up the fourth-most standard fantasy points per game (29.3) to wide receivers, including 8.4 YPT and seven touchdowns.

Brown (ankle) will be a game-time decision for Sunday against the Bengals, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.

Coach John Harbaugh had been hoping Brown would return to practice Friday, but the wide receiver was absent for a third straight day. Brown presumably will be listed as questionable on the final injury report, setting up a game-day decision before Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff. The Ravens haven't gotten much production from their other wide receivers, so any and all of Miles Boykin, Willie Snead, Seth Roberts and Chris Moore could see extra snaps and targets if Brown is inactive. The rookie played through an ankle sprain during the second half of last week's win over Pittsburgh, albeit with visible limitations in terms of agility and acceleration.

Olszewski was on the field for 50 of a possible 82 snaps on offense in Thursday's 35-14 win over the Giants, en route to catching two of his three targets for 34 yards.

Olszewski, who has been serving as the Patriots' punt returner, saw his profile in the offense expand Thursday, with Phillip Dorsett (hamstring) inactive and Josh Gordon (knee) forced out of the contest after seeing just 26 snaps. The Patriots don't play again until Oct. 21, and if either Dorsett or Gordon are able to play then, Olszewski figures to revert to his usual role, which didn't yield him a catch through his first five contests this season.

Brown (ankle) did not take part in Friday's practice, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

Brown has not practiced all week, which does not bode well for his chances of playing in Sunday's game against the Bengals. Brown's status for Week 6 will be revealed when the Ravens' final injury report of the week is released following Friday's practice.

Thielen (illness) returned to practice Friday, according to Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network.

After missing Thursday's practice due to his illness, Thielen is presumably back on track to play in Sunday's game against the Eagles.
