Ricky Pearsall WR | SF
49ers' Ricky Pearsall: Questionable for Sunday
Pearsall (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's contest against the Jaguars, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
Pearsall didn't practice Wednesday due to a knee injury but was able to do so in a limited capacity one day later. Before that first session, he told Jennifer Lee Chan of NBC Sports Bay Area that he'd play if there was a game that day, but the 49ers seemingly are less optimistic about the second-year wide receiver's status for Week 4. In the end, Pearsall's availability will be confirmed, one way or another, about 90 minutes before Sunday's 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff.

Jauan Jennings WR | SF
49ers' Jauan Jennings: Questionable for Week 4
Jennings (shoulder/ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game versus the Jaguars, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
Jennings was listed as a non-participant on five straight injury reports due to shoulder and ankle injuries before getting back on the field Friday, giving him a chance to return to action this weekend. His status will be confirmed, one way or another, about 90 minutes before Sunday's 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff, but if he's able to suit up, he'll be on the receiving end of passes from No. 1 QB Brock Purdy (left shoulder/toe), who has been cleared for his first game action since Week 1.

Josh Reynolds WR | NYJ
Jets' Josh Reynolds: Returns to full practice
Reynolds (hamstring) practiced fully Friday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
Reynolds thus is on pace to return from a two-game absence when the Jets face the Dolphins on Monday. The veteran pass catcher logged a 97 percent snap share and two catches (on three targets) for 18 yards Week 1, but in his looming return he'll need to compete with Tyler Johnson, Arian Smith and Allen Lazard for WR targets that don't go to clear-cut top option Garrett Wilson.

Jaylen Waddle WR | DEN
Dolphins' Jaylen Waddle: Full practice Friday
Waddle (shoulder) practiced fully Friday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
Waddle has been dealing with a shoulder issue since Week 2 prep, but he's suited up the last two games and logged more than 80 percent of the offensive snaps both times en route to a combined 10-107-2 line on 12 targets during that span. After opening this week with a limited practice Thursday, he handled every rep one day later and thus is on pace for his typical workload Monday against the Jets.

CeeDee Lamb WR | DAL
Cowboys' CeeDee Lamb: Ruled out
Lamb (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Green Bay, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
Reports suggest Lamb will miss multiple games and possibly even be placed on injured reserve, but the Cowboys waited until Friday to rule him out for Week 4. His absence leaves more playing time for WRs Jalen Tolbert, KaVontae Turpin and Ryan Flournoy, with WR George Pickens and TE Jake Ferguson also getting boosts in target-share projection.

Anthony Gould WR | IND
Colts' Anthony Gould: Questionable for Week 4
Gould (illness) is questionable to play in Sunday's contest against the Rams.
Gould has battled an illness the last couple of days and missed practice Thursday before logging a limited session Friday. If the wide receiver can't go in Week 4, Ashton Dulin and Josh Downs would be top candidates to see an increase in workload on special teams.
-
Chris Godwin WR | TB
Buccaneers' Chris Godwin: Questionable after full practice
Godwin (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Eagles after logging a full practice Friday, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Godwin sandwiched full practices on Wednesday and Friday around scheduled rest Thursday. Meanwhile, Buccaneers coach Todd Bowles suggested Friday that Godwin, QB Baker Mayfield (biceps) and LT Tristan Wirfs (ankle) are all on track to play this weekend. That doesn't mean Godwin will jump right back into last year's workload or production, but the Bucs could certainly use his help after losing Mike Evans to a hamstring injury last week.

Cedric Tillman WR | CLE
Browns' Cedric Tillman: Cleared to play Week 4
Tillman (hand/hip) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Lions, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.
Following back-to-back limited practices Wednesday and Thursday, Tillman was able to log a full session Friday, paving the way for him to play Sunday. Tillman has secured 10 of 18 targets for 100 yards and two touchdowns through three games this season.

Jauan Jennings WR | SF
49ers' Jauan Jennings: Returns to practice
Jennings (ankle/shoulder) is in uniform for practice Friday, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.
He's set to practice for the first time since suffering an ankle injury Week 2. The 49ers listed Jennings as questionable last week, before downgrading him to 'out' on game day. He may have a real chance to play this week, facing the Jaguars.

Xavier Worthy WR | KC
Chiefs' Xavier Worthy: Clear to return Sunday
Worthy (shoulder) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's contest against the Ravens.
Worthy thus has been cleared for his first game action since he was knocked from the Chiefs' Week 1 loss early following a collision with TE Travis Kelce. Diagnosed with a dislocated right shoulder afterward, Worthy sat out Weeks 2 and 3, but his ability to practice in full this week indicates he's ready for close to his typical workload. From Week 14 through Super Bowl LIX last season (minus Week 18), he handled greater than 80 percent of the offensive snaps regularly and recorded a 45-518-5 line on 58 targets and 12 carries for 63 yards and another touchdown across seven games.
