The Chiefs promoted Pringle to the active roster Saturday, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Pringle was just cut by the Chiefs on Tuesday and relegated to their practice squad, but he'll be back with the team to add depth to its receiver corps since Tyreek Hill (neck) is out. Pringle only played three offensive snaps in the opener, and it's unlikely he plays a major role in the offense Week 2 versus the Raiders.

Hopkins (ribs) does not carry an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Jaguars.

Hopkins has been listed as a limited practice participant all week, but there was never really an doubt regarding his Week 2 status, a notion confirmed by the fact that Houston's top wideout heads into the weekend minus an injury tag.

Brown (hip) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

Brown and tight end Mark Andrews (foot) both were held out of practice Friday, though coach John Harbaugh said the wide receiver is fine to play, while Adam Schefter of ESPN confirmed the tight end also is expected to suit up. Even so, anyone invested in the Ravens offense would be wise to check back around 11:30 a.m. ET on Sunday when the inactive list is released. Brown lit up Miami last week, catching four of five targets for 147 yards and two touchdowns on just 14 snaps.

Coutee (ankle) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's contest against the Jaguars.

Prior to being inactive Week 1 at New Orleans, Coutee was listed as limited on all three of the Texans' injury reports, the result of a sprained ankle from the team's preseason opener. He progressed to full showings in each session this week, but despite the lack of designation, coach Bill O'Brien cautioned that Coutee won't necessarily be active. "Arrow trending toward being able to play," O'Brien told Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle on Friday. "He's been out there at practice. Inactives will be interesting, lot of guys playing well." Houston will reveal its seven scratches about 90 minutes before Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff.

Moore (shoulder) won't play in Sunday's game versus the Steelers, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Although Moore returned to practice Wednesday, he was only a limited participant and will need more time to get back to full speed. Until he's able to go, Tyler Lockett and DK Metcalf will be the unequivocal top receivers while Jaron Brown's a distant third. Moore has a decent chance to play Week 3 versus the Saints, but his fantasy value will take a hit with Metcalf in the fold.

Lockett (back) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's contest at Pittsburgh, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Lockett didn't take the practice field Wednesday as a result of a back injury, but after returning in a limited capacity Thursday, coach Pete Carroll said the wide receiver looked "fine," per Brady Henderson of ESPN.com. With no doubts about his availability for Week 2, Lockett can focus on taking advantage of a Steelers defense that allowed 366 yards through the air in their season opener at New England.

Cain does not carry an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Titans.

Cain returned to a full practice Friday after being listed as limited Thursday for "heat related" reasons. With Devin Funchess (collarbone) now on IR, there are targets up for grabs behind T.Y. Hilton. Cain is in the mix on that front, but so is rookie Parris Campbell, as well as Chester Rogers and Zach Pascal. Cain is a speculative play until the pecking order behind Hilton becomes more clear.

Coach Anthony Lynn noted Friday that Williams (knee) will be a game-time decision for Sunday's game against the Lions, Eric D. Williams of ESPN.com reports. "I just need to see that he can go out and play, and not hurt himself," said Lynn. "He has a couple more days, so we'll go day by day."

After logging consecutive DNPs to start the week, Williams returned to a limited session Friday, opening the door for the possibility that he may give it a go this weekend. Fortunately for those considering Williams in Week 2 lineups, the Chargers kick off at 1:00 p.m. ET on Sunday. If Williams ends up limited or out for the contest, Travis Benjamin and Dontrelle Inman would figure to see added work alongside top receiver Keenan Allen.

Coach Kyle Shanahan suggested Samuel will lose some playing time to Dante Pettis in Sunday's game against the Bengals, Eric Branch of The San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Samuel finished his NFL debut with three catches for 17 yards on 60 snaps (88.2 percent), losing a fumble and committing a false-start penalty along the way. Pettis was restricted to two snaps after battling a groin injury the past couple weeks, but it sounds like he'll be a bigger part of the game plan in Cincinnati. Among San Francisco wide receivers, only Marquise Goodwin seems like a safe bet for a starter-level snap count.

Shepherd (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game versus the Vikings, Ryan Wood of the Green Bay Press-Gazette reports.

Shepherd was able to participate in Friday's practice in a limited fashion, but he'll still need to wait until at least Week 3 versus the Broncos to make his NFL debut. His absence will only affect the depth of Green Bay's receiver corps and special teams.
