Goodwin (quadriceps) is listed as active Sunday at Kansas City.

Goodwin progressed from a non-participant during Week 2 prep to logging limited sessions this week, but his availability seemingly came down to his ability to get through a pregame workout without complications. Still, it remains to be seen what kind of workload he can handle after spending two weeks in recovery mode from a "deep" thigh bruise. When healthy, Goodwin is the field-stretching pass catcher for Jimmy Garoppolo, which could yield fruit against the Chiefs' league-worst pass defense.

The Lions are optimistic that Jones, who was added to the injury report Friday with an ankle issue, will be available for Sunday's game against the Patriots, sources informed Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.

Jones' ankle will be monitored carefully throughout the day, with the wideout's activity in pregame warmups likely dictating whether or not he garners active status. While Jones seems to be trending in the right direction, the fact that he's not a lock to suit up makes him a risky lineup choice, especially with clarity on his availability (or lack thereof) not likely to come until the Lions release their inactive list approximately 90 minutes before the 8:20 p.m. EDT kickoff.

Beasley (ankle), who is listed as questionable on the official injury report, will play in Sunday's game at Seattle, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

After limited practices both Thursday and Friday, he appeared to be trending in the right direction for an appearance Week 3 and the report adds to that positive outlook. However, fantasy owners will want to double check his status before the 4:25 PM ET kickoff Sunday.

Godwin (toe) was a full participant in practice Saturday, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.

Godwin was limited earlier in the week with a toe injury. He's cleared to play Monday night against the Steelers, but the toe issue will be something to bear in mind when considering him as a potential fantasy play.

Clay (undisclosed) is ruled out for Sunday's game against the Texans, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

Clay suffered an ankle injury during the team's loss to Dallas, but the reason for his being sidelined during Week 3 remains undisclosed. In Clay's absence, Odell Beckham or Sterling Shepard could see work returning punts against the Texans on Sunday.

Perriman was let go by the Redskins on Saturday, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.

Washingon scooped Perriman up earlier in the week, but his stint with the club will be short-lived. The team has opted to add more running back depth ahead of Sunday's game against the Packers, and Perriman was ultimately the odd man out. The 25-year-old pass catcher spent his first three seasons with the Ravens, but is once again looking for a new opportunity.

The Texans have listed Coutee (hamstring) as questionable for their Week 3 game versus the Giants.

No surprise here, as Coutee was a limited participant in practice all week. The rookie has been battling this issue for the first few weeks of the season, and has yet to suit up. If he does end up making his NFL debut it will likely just be in a depth receiver role, as well as special teams assistance.

Gage (knee) was a full participant in Friday's practice and will play Sunday against the Saints, D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Gage played Week 1 against Philly but recorded just one defensive snap while playing 19 on special teams. He should log a similar role in Week 3.

Kirk (back) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game against the Bears, Scott Bordow of The Athletic reports.

Kirk made a sudden appearance on Thursday's injury report, the result of a car accident one day previous. After a limited session Thursday as he tended to a back injury, he didn't miss a single rep Friday, paving the way for active status Week 3. Kirk's target count increased from two in the season opener to five last weekend, but he's parlayed those looks into a meager five catches for 31 yards and no touchdowns to date.

Pettis' teammate Marquise Goodwin (quad) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game in Kansas City, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Pettis replaced Goodwin in the starting lineup for last week's 30-27 win over Detroit, catching one of two targets for 35 yards while playing 88 percent of the snaps on offense. The rookie second-round pick should get a few more chances if Goodwin misses another contest, as the Chiefs likely will force Jimmy Garoppolo to throw far more passes than he did last week (26). Goodwin is expected to come down to a game-time decision after logging limited practices throughout the week.
