Despite his 'questionable' designation, Brown (foot) doesn't appear in danger of missing Sunday's game in Miami, Clifton Brown of the Ravens' official website reports. "[Brown] will play in the game," coach John Harbaugh said Friday.

Added to the injury report Thursday as a full participant, Brown then was held out of Friday's practice. It may just be a matter of maintenance, with the rookie first-round pick coming off Lisfranc surgery in January. The extent of his role is a question mark, but it sounds like he'll at least be active Sunday against the Dolphins.

Anderson (calf) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bills.

Anderson practiced in a limited fashion all week, which bodes well for his chances of suiting up, especially since Rich Cimini of ESPN.com relayed Thursday that coach Adam Gase expects the wideout to play Week 1. That said, since Anderson is just one of three players on the Jets' injury report this week -- all listed as questionable -- his status is still worth confirming in advance of Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff.

Evans (illness) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the 49ers after missing practice Friday.

Coach Bruce Arians expects Evans to regain his health by Sunday, but the story nonetheless merits tracking prior to the Bucs' 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff. The weather forecast doesn't look great if he's still a bit under the weather, with the high Sunday in Tampa Bay estimated at 87 degrees Fahrenheit.

Taylor (foot) has been ruled out for Sunday's game in Tampa Bay, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Taylor is now four weeks removed from surgery to repair a Jones fracture. He hasn't returned to practice, but the decision to keep him off injured reserve suggests the 49ers expect him to be ready at some point in the first half of the season. Dante Pettis, Kendrick Bourne, Deebo Samuel and Richie James all are candidates for slot work Sunday against the Buccaneers.

Lazard was limited to special-teams duty in Thursday's victory over the Bears.

Lazard served as the Packers' sixth receiver in Week 1, but only four wideouts were involved in the game plan, and Lazard did not see a snap on offense. It remains to be seen if Lazard will suit up for Week 2, as fellow wideout Darrius Shepherd (hamstring) -- who beat out Lazard for a spot on the initial 53-man roster -- could return after missing Week 1.

Moore (shoulder) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bengals, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

This decision was more or less expected to happen after Moore suffered a non-displaced fracture in his upper arm in late August. The issue isn't severe enough to warrant a move to injured reserve, but he will be among the Seahawks' inactive players to kick off the campaign. With Moore sidelined, Tyler Lockett, DK Metcalf and Jaron Brown will be the top trio of wideouts at Russell Wilson's disposal.

Beckham (hip) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game against the Titans, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

Beckham was a surprise addition to the Browns' injury report Thursday with a hip issue, which he admitted was difficult to deal with throughout the preseason, per Mary Kay Cabot of the Cleveland Plain Dealer. While he said that his ability to sprint "hinders" him, Beckham nonetheless was a full practice participant both Thursday and Friday. He'll thus serve as Baker Mayfield's top target Week 1.

Brown (foot) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at Miami, Jonas Shaffer of The Baltimore Sun reports.

Brown appeared on Thursday's injury report due to a foot issue, but he was a full participant in that session. While the rookie wideout was held out entirely Friday, there's an expectation from coach John Harbaugh that Brown will take the field Week 1, per Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic. No matter, Brown's status will remain in limbo until about 90 minutes before Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff.

Williams (undisclosed) was placed on injured reserve Saturday, per the league's official transactions report.

Williams was competing for a deep depth role in San Francisco's wide receiver room in the offseason, but he's now done for the season due to an undisclosed injury. He'll focus on returning to full health.

Diggs (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Atlanta, with coach Mike Zimmer suggesting after Friday's practice that he isn't sure if the wide receiver will play, Chris Tomasson of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

Diggs returned to practice Thursday and finished out the week with a pair of limited sessions. He appears truly questionable, with Zimmer merely saying "we'll see" when reporters asked him about the wide receiver's availability for the season opener. We may not have a final decision until the Vikings release their inactive list around 11:30 a.m. ET on Sunday. If Diggs were to miss the game, Chad Beebe and Bisi Johnson would be next in line for wideout snaps, with recent acquisition Josh Doctson potentially also in the mix. Adam Thielen, Kyle Rudolph and Dalvin Cook would still be the best bets for targets, and the Vikings might also use more two-TE formations with Irv Smith Jr.
