Hardman (knee) was placed on injured reserve Saturday.

Hardman suffered the knee injury during Friday's practice. There hasn't been any reports suggesting this could be a season-ending injury as of yet, but the Chiefs will be without their top return man until at minimum Week 18, if not longer.

McConkey (knee/shoulder) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game in Kansas City.

McConkey is tending to not only a longstanding AC joint sprain in his shoulder but a sprained knee that he suffered this past Sunday in Atlanta. The pair of health concerns capped his practice reps this week, but his status remains up in the air ahead of Week 14 action. With an 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff Sunday, fantasy managers may be in a bind if McConkey ends up inactive, and the current healthy wide receivers on the Chargers' active roster are Quentin Johnston, Joshua Palmer, Jalen Reagor, Derius Davis and DJ Chark.

Chase (ankle) practiced fully Friday, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

Chase was limited Thursday in the first session of Week 14 prep due to an ankle injury, but he proceeded to tell Kelsey Conway of The Cincinnati Enquirer that he returned to full participation Friday, which now has been confirmed. Chase is in the middle of putting together the most productive season of his four-year career, sitting at 79 catches (on 109 targets) for 1,142 yards and 13 touchdowns through 12 contests.

Cooks (rest/knee) practiced without limitations Friday, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

Cooks' limitations in Thursday's practice were primarily rest-related as he gets eased back in ahead of his second game back from a two-month absence due to a knee injury. Barring a setback Saturday, the veteran wideout should head into Monday's matchup with the struggling Bengals secondary sans an injury designation.

Lamb (shoulder) was a limited practice participant Friday, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

Lamb said Thursday that he'll play in Monday's game against the Bengals, having regained full range of motion and strength in the shoulder that he re-injured during a Week 13 win over the Giants. He initially suffered an AC joint sprain Week 9 at Atlanta, but he's played in every game this season and doesn't seem especially amenable to shutting things down early amidst a disappointing season for the Cowboys.

Hill (wrist/rest) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game versus the Jets, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Hill slowly but surely increased his activity level this week, going from no participation Wednesday to a capped session Thursday before ending it with a full practice. He'll take on a Jets defense that's expected to be without top cornerback Sauce Gardner, who is listed as doubtful due to a hamstring injury.

Covey (neck) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Panthers, Tim McManus of ESPN.com reports.

Covey logged limited practices Thursday and Friday, but he'll sit out Sunday. His next chance to play will be Week 15 against the Steelers. Cooper DeJean, Jahan Dotson and Ainias Smith all are candidates to return punts in Covey's absence.

Wilson (hamstring) practiced fully Friday and doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Panthers, Tim McManus of ESPN.com reports.

Wilson will be available Sunday, but he's unlikely to play a significant role behind A.J. Brown, DeVonta Smith and Jahan Dotson. Smith has been cleared to return for his first action since Week 11 after missing two games due to a hamstring injury of his own.

Hardman (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Chargers.

Hardman suffered the injury Friday, per coach Andy Reid, leaving the wide receiver questionable for Sunday's game. If Hardman's unable to suit up, Carson Steele and Xavier Worthy are the top candidates to return kickoffs and punts, respectively.

Boyd (foot) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Jaguars, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Boyd avoided an injury designation by practicing fully Friday. The slot receiver has had a disappointing season, but he's trending up ahead of this favorable Week 14 matchup, having recorded at least 34 receiving yards in three consecutive games after falling short of that mark in eight of his first nine games with the Titans.
