Reynolds (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bills, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Reynolds didn't practice Thursday or Friday due to his hamstring injury. His absence will open up playing time at wide receiver for Tyler Johnson, Arian Smith and Allen Lazard behind Garrett Wilson.

Jennings (shoulder) returned to practice Friday, Noah Furtado of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

He may have limitations but at least was participating during the media-access portion of practice. Jennings didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday, following an early exit from the Week 1 win over Seattle due to a left shoulder injury. If he's able to play Week 2, he'll catch passes from backup quarterback Mac Jones this Sunday in New Orleans.

Renfrow (ribs) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

Renfrow upgraded to full participation in Friday's practice after opening the week with a pair of limited sessions. The veteran slot receiver was understandably sore after his first regular-season NFL action since the 2023 campaign in Carolina's Week 1 loss to the Jaguars. Renfrow had two catches for 11 yards on six targets in the season opener.

Boutte (shoulder) doesn't carry an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Dolphins.

Boutte upgraded to full practice participation Friday after logging limited sessions Wednesday and Thursday, which paves the way for him to maintain a key role in the Patriots' Week 2 offense. In the team's season opener last Sunday, Boutte was New England's busiest (82 percent snap share) and most productive WR (6-103-0 on eight targets) in a 20-13 loss to the Raiders. Such output resulted in the 2023 sixth-rounder being a notable waiver wire add this week.

Waddle (shoulder) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Patriots, Travis Wingfield of the Dolphins' official site reports.

Waddle practiced without limitations Friday, eliminating any doubts regarding his availability after he was limited Wednesday and Thursday. Miami's entire offense is looking to bounce back after an ugly 33-8 loss to the Colts in Week 1, but Waddle and company have a nice opportunity to right the ship Sunday against a Patriots defense that remains without top cornerback Christian Gonzalez (hamstring).

Walker (ankle) is listed as doubtful ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Lions.

Walker opened the Bears' week of practice with consecutive limited sessions, but following Friday's DNP, he'll likely be sidelined Sunday. The Texas A&M product played 11 special-teams snaps during Chicago's Week 1 loss to the Vikings, failing to record a stat.

Royals (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's contest against the Eagles.

Royals thus will push back his pro debut one more week due to the knee tendinitis that has bothered him since at least Aug. 18. He has yet to practice this season, so until he does he likely won't be a candidate to suit up on game days. No. 1 WR Xavier Worthy is tending to a dislocated right shoulder that he suffered Week 1, so even if he's available whenever Royals is able to suit up, the former may not be operating at full capacity, thereby opening up snaps and targets for the rest of the Chiefs' receiving corps.

Worthy (shoulder) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game versus the Eagles.

After coming out of a Week 1 loss to the Chargers with a dislocated right shoulder, Worthy got back on the field as a limited participant at practice Thursday and Friday, after which coach Andy Reid gave him a "slim" chance to suit up Week 2, per Jesse Newell of The Athletic. A doubtful designation implies Worthy is more likely than not to be inactive Sunday, but Kansas City doesn't need to make a decision on that front until about 90 minutes before a 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff. With rookie fourth-rounder Jalen Royals (knee) ruled out, the Chiefs' current healthy wide receivers on hte active roster are Hollywood Brown, JuJu Smith-Schuster, Tyquan Thornton, Jason Brownlee and Nikko Remigio.

Slayton (groin) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Cowboys, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

A mid-week addition to the injury report, Slayton apparently didn't have any issues during Friday's practice. He handled a team-high 97 percent route share in last week's loss to Washington but somehow managed just one incomplete target on his 38 routes. Slayton should see more looks this Sunday but won't necessarily be featured even if Wan'Dale Robinson (questionable, ankle) doesn't end up playing.

Robinson (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Cowboys, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Fellow Giants wideouts Malik Nabers (back) and Darius Slayton (groin) don't have injury designations, leaving Robinson and LT Andrew Thomas (doubtful, foot) as the question marks for Big Blue's offense ahead of a 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff in Dallas. It looked like a good matchup for Robinson otherwise, with Cowboys slot corner DaRon Bland (foot) expected to miss multiple weeks.
