Crowder (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at Tampa Bay, JP Finlay of NBC Sports Washington reports.

Hoping to end a four-game streak of absences, Crowder returned to practice Thursday as a limited participant, marking his first involvement of any kind since Week 5. He seems to have also been limited at Friday's practice, but coach Jay Gruden said the slot receiver took a step forward in terms of activity level. Furthermore, Gruden suggested Crowder will be a game-time decision ahead of Sunday's 1:00 PM ET kickoff in Tampa Bay. The matchup is optimal in terms of opponent, but it's fair to wonder if the Redskins will be able to move the ball while playing with so many backups on their injury-riddled offensive line. Maurice Harris likely will shift to more of a perimeter role whenever Crowder returns.

Crowder (ankle) is practicing again Friday, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.

Crowder returned to practice Thursday as a limited participant, potentially giving him a chance to play in Sunday's game at Tampa Bay. Another update will be available when the Redskins release their final injury report.

Anderson (ankle) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Bills.

While Anderson is almost assuredly out this weekend, Quincy Enunwa (ankle) is in line to play, which sets the stage for Enunwa and Jermaine Kearse to serve as QB Josh McCown's top wideout targets this weekend.

Anderson (ankle) was spotted at Friday's practice with a helmet, Ethan B. Greenberg of the Jets' official site reports.

Anderson sat out the Jets' first two practice sessions of the week, but it appears he will be able to get some work in Friday. The Jets will reveal whether or not he will have a chance to take the field Week 10 after practice comes to a close.

Moore brought in four of five targets for 20 yards and rushed once for five yards in the Panthers' 52-21 loss to the Steelers on Thursday.

Moore put together his second consecutive modest performance after generating some buzz in fantasy circles with a five-catch, 90-yard effort versus the Ravens two games ago. The rookie simply couldn't get anything going down the field Thursday, and with one of his receptions going for 11 yards, he averaged a minuscule three yards per grab on his other three. The Panthers' pass distribution continues to heavily center on Christian McCaffrey and Greg Olsen most weeks, making Moore, regardless of his undeniable upside, hard to trust from game to game. He'll look to get his numbers back up versus the Lions in a Week 11 tilt on Nov. 18.

Smith-Schuster corralled three of five targets for 90 yards and a touchdown and added one rush for 13 yards in the Steelers' 52-21 win over the Panthers on Thursday.

It didn't take long for the dynamic second-year wideout to make his presence felt, as he helped the Steelers answer a Christian McCaffrey touchdown with a grab of a perfectly-thrown Ben Roethlisberger pass down the left sideline that he took 75 yards for a touchdown in the first quarter. Smith-Schuster was quiet the rest of the night, but his initial splash play was enough to vault him to his best yardage total since Week 6 against the Bengals. The 21-year-old is serving as an ideal complement to Antonio Brown as anticipated, and he'll look to continue building on his stellar sophomore campaign against the Jaguars in a Week 11 matchup on Nov. 18.

Davis (concussion) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.

Davis continues to progress in his recovery from a concussion sustained during a Week 8 loss to the Bengals. The depth wideout has missed two consecutive games while in the league's concussion protocol, and he should be considered questionable for Monday's contest against the 49ers. If Davis is unable to suit up, expect one of Odell Beckham, Corey Coleman or Antonio Hamilton to serve as the Giants' starting kick returner.

Robinson (groin) termed himself "100 percent" Thursday, Adam Jahns of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Robinson backed up his comment with another full practice session Thursday, per Kevin Fishbain of The Athletic. By avoiding any setbacks with the groin injury that forced absences the past two contests, Robinson is in line to take on a Lions defense Sunday that has allowed just shy of 10.0 yards per target and 10 touchdowns to wide receivers in eight games this season.

Evans (knee) turned in a limited practice Thursday, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.

Evans was a spectator for the Buccaneers' first session of the week due to the ankle issue, with his absence believed to be maintenance-related more than anything. Coach Dirk Koetter and offensive coordinator Todd Monken both confirmed as much Thursday, saying that they fully expect Evans to play Sunday against the Redskins, per Carmen Vitali of the Buccaneers' official site. After the Panthers held him to one reception on 10 targets in Week 9, Evans will look to bounce back against a Washington secondary that could be missing starting cornerback Quinton Dunbar (shin).

Cobb (hamstring) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

The Packers listed Cobb as a full participant in practice to open the week, so it's somewhat discouraging that his involvement was scaled back a day later. It's possible that Cobb's limitations were part of a pre-planned maintenance program, as the wideout had been sidelined for three games with the same injury before playing each of the past two weeks. Assuming Cobb hasn't experienced any sort of setback and is cleared to play this weekend against the Dolphins, he should handle his usual duties as the Packers' primary slot man. Cobb might also benefit from some extra volume in the passing game with Geronimo Allison (hamstring) now on injured reserve, though rookie Marquez Valdes-Scantling looks to be a more direct beneficiary.
