Cedrick Wilson Jr. WR | DET
Dolphins' Cedrick Wilson: Ready for Week 6
Wilson (knee) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Chargers, Travis Wingfield of the Dolphins' official site reports.
Wilson upgraded to a full practice Friday after beginning the week with consecutive limited sessions, suggesting he's moved past his knee injury in time to face the Chargers on Sunday. The veteran wideout was signed off the Saints' practice squad in late September and has yet to play this season. He'll likely play a reserve role in Miami's wide-receiver corps in Week 6.

Calvin Austin III WR | NYG
Steelers' Calvin Austin: Ruled out for Sunday
Austin (shoulder) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Browns after not practicing this week.
Austin was forced out of a Week 4 win over the Vikings after logging 27 snaps and catching both of his targets for 13 yards, and he'll target a potential return to action next Thursday night against the Bengals. In Austin's absence this weekend, Ben Skowronek, Scotty Miller and Roman Wilson are candidates to see added opportunities behind WR1 DK Metcalf.

John Metchie III WR | CAR
Eagles' John Metchie: Another zero-catch game
Metchie saw the field for just three offensive snaps and did not catch a pass in Thursday's loss to the Giants.
Despite trailing for the entirety of the second half, the Eagles rarely put enough wide receivers on the field for Metchie, the fourth wideout on the depth chart, to see any action. He now has a total of four catches across his first six games with the team.

Xavier Worthy WR | KC
Chiefs' Xavier Worthy: Ready to face Detroit in Week 6
Worthy (shoulder/ankle) doesn't carry an injury designation for Sunday night's game against the Lions after returning to a full practice Friday.
Worthy, who is managing shoulder and ankle issues, didn't practice Thursday, but his return to a full session a day later suggests that his absence was maintenance-related, rather than indicative of a setback. In two games back since missing time with a shoulder injury that he sustained Week 1, Worthy has combined to catch 11 passes (on 17 targets) for 125 yards and log three carries for 47 yards, a pace that keeps the starting WR firmly on the Week 6 fantasy lineup radar.

Derius Davis WR | LAC
Chargers' Derius Davis: Remains sidelined against Miami
Davis (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Dolphins.
Davis will miss a third consecutive game. His next chance to suit up will come Week 7 against the Colts. KeAndre Lambert-Smith and Ladd McConkey will likely continue to fill in on kickoff returns and punt returns, respectively.

Charlie Jones WR | CIN
Bengals' Charlie Jones: Cleared to face Packers
Jones (Achilles) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Packers, Kelsey Conway of the Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
Jones upgraded to full practice participation Friday after a pair of limited sessions. He played through this injury in the Week 5 loss to the Lions and should handle his usual role as a returner on punts and kickoffs against the Packers.

Quentin Johnston WR | LAC
Chargers' Quentin Johnston: Status in question for Sunday
Johnston (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at Miami.
Johnston practiced in a limited fashion both Wednesday and Thursday due to a hamstring injury, and so far he hasn't done enough to gain clearance for Week 6 action. His status will be clarified about 90 minutes before Sunday's 1:00 kickoff, and if he's active he'll be looking to build upon the 26-377-4 line on 40 targets that he's racked up through five contests this season.
