Buccaneers' Chris Godwin: Taking part in Friday's practice
Godwin (hip) is taking part in Friday's practice, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.
Godwin did not suit up for the Buccaneers' first two practice sessions of the week, but he was able to get out there Friday, which bodes well for his chances of taking part Week 4. His official status for Sunday's matchup with the Rams will be revealed when the Buccaneers release their final injury report of the week.

Packers' Davante Adams: Afflicted with turf toe
Adams, who missed the final 10 minutes of the Packers' 34-27 loss to the Eagles on Thursday due to injury after recording 10 receptions for 180 yards, says he is suffering from turf toe, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
Adams was unable to don a shoe on his affected right foot during postgame interviews and eventually limped out of the locker room. The star receiver was hurt on his 10th and final catch of the night, souring what was a career-best performance. Adams' presence was arguably missed the most on the Packers' final drive, which ended when Aaron Rodgers was unable to connect with Marquez Valdes-Scantling at the Eagles' one-yard line, a pass that was ultimately tipped and landed in the waiting arms of Philadelphia's Nigel Bradham for a game-clinching interception. Adams is slated for additional tests Friday, and the fact the Packers don't play again until a week from Sunday in Dallas certainly helps his cause by upping his recovery time.

Dante Pettis WR | SF
49ers' Dante Pettis: Another preseason injury revealed
Head coach Kyle Shanahan revealed that Pettis has been dealing with a pectoral injury in addition to a previously reported groin injury to begin the season, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Pettis' groin injury was kept under wraps to begin the season, and this pectoral injury is only now being announced to the public despite it developing during the preseason. This could help explain the second-year wideout's lack of production through three weeks (five receptions on six targets for 27 yards and a touchdown). The good news is that Shanahan stated that Pettis has been regaining both lower- and upper-body strength, and that culminated in the receiver's best stat line against the Steelers in Week 3 (four receptions for 20 yards and a touchdown). The 49ers' upcoming bye week could help the 23-year-old inch even closer to midseason form. While fantasy owners are unlikely to trust Pettis enough to start him following the rough start, it is worth noting that he has been seeing nearly as many offensive snaps over the past two games (68) as rookie Deebo Samuel (70). It appears that the two youngsters are in a starter's timeshare alongside Marquise Goodwin, who leads all San Francisco wide receivers with 90 offensive snaps over that same two-week period.

Marquez Valdes-Scantling WR | LAC
Packers' Marquez Valdes-Scantling: Unfortunate role in loss
Valdes-Scantling secured three of seven targets for 47 yards in the Packers' 34-27 loss to the Eagles on Thursday.
Valdes-Scantling had a modest stat line overall, and he was the intended target on Aaron Rodgers' ill-fated final pass of the night. The second-year receiver saw the Eagles' Craig James get his hand on the ball and tip it, sending it into the arms of Nigel Bradham for a game-clinching interception. It was an underwhelming night overall for Valdes-Scantling, who had put together a season-high 6-99-1 line in Week 3. The 24-year-old will look to bounce back in a Week 5 showdown against the Cowboys a week from Sunday.

Davante Adams WR | LAR
Packers' Davante Adams: Dealing with toe injury
Adams (toe) is questionable to return to Thursday's matchup with the Eagles.
Adams had 10 catches for 180 yards before exiting the game. It's unclear how serious the injury is, although it's obviously enough of a concern to keep him sidelined for at least a few drives.

Damiere Byrd WR | BUF
Cardinals' Damiere Byrd: Doesn't practice Thursday
Byrd (hamstring) didn't practice Thursday, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Byrd has yet to take the practice field this week, placing a cloud over his availability for Sunday's divisional showdown against the Seahawks. Considering he's received 92 percent of the Cardinals' offensive snaps through three games, Byrd's direct backup (Trent Sherfield) could be on pace for his first significant workload of the campaign.

Chris Godwin WR | TB
Buccaneers' Chris Godwin: Sits out again Thursday
Godwin (hip) was listed as a non-participant on Thursday's injury report, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.
This was more or less the expectation when Godwin wasn't spotted on the field during the part of practice open to the media. His status for Week 4 will become more clear upon the release of Friday's injury report. If Godwin begins to trend toward a DNP, Mike Evans would have a healthy share of targets available to him, while tight ends O.J. Howard and Cameron Brate would be in line for additional work.

Mike Williams WR | LAC
Chargers' Mike Williams: Misses another practice Thursday
Williams (back) did not practice Thursday.
Having logged back-to-back missed sessions, Williams' practice participation Friday will be telling with regard to his status for Sunday's game against the Dolphins. With Travis Benjamin (hip) also missing practice, the Chargers' healthiest wideouts are currently Keenan Allen and Dontrelle Inman.
-
Gary Jennings WR | LAC
Seahawks' Gary Jennings: Waiver request rescinded
The Seahawks didn't waive Jennings on Wednesday as previously reported, per Field Yates of ESPN.
A corresponding move was required to promote Adrian Colbert from the practice squad, and while the Seahawks initially were expected to cut Jennings, they instead jettisoned defensive lineman Bryan Mone from the 53-man roster. Because Jennings has been inactive for all three games this season, and the team considered placing him on waivers, the 2019 fourth-rounder seems to be in danger of losing his roster spot.

Chris Conley WR | SF
Jaguars' Chris Conley: Reps capped at practice
Conley (knee) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.
Conley has opened the week with back-to-back limited showings in practice, so he may need to turn in a full session Friday to avoid carrying an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Broncos. The 26-year-old ranks second to only D.J. Chark among Jacksonville receivers this season with 12 receptions for 200 yards and a touchdown.
