Smith (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at Baltimore.

The designation comes as no surprise after Smith said earlier Friday that he wasn't sure if he'd play. He returned to practice Thursday as a limited participant and was limited again Friday, after not practicing at all (nor playing) the previous week. Smith's availability may come down to a game-time decision ahead of a 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff Sunday.

Pierce (foot) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Patriots despite practicing without limitations Friday.

Pierce was a full participant in his return to practice Friday after logging DNPs on Wednesday and Thursday, but he still carries an injury designation into Sunday's game against New England. His return Friday was an encouraging development, and Pierce appears more likely than not to suit up as part of a Colts passing game that will be without wide receivers Josh Downs (shoulder) and Ashton Dulin (ankle).

Douglas (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Colts.

Douglas was listed as a limited participant on all three Patriots' practice reports this week, so he has a chance to play through his ankle issue this weekend. Either way, with Sunday's kickoff coming at 1 p.m. ET kickoff, fantasy managers thinking of using Douglas -- who leads New England's wideout corps in catches (48), receiving yards (477) and targets (66) -- will have his Week 13 status confirmed before the early slate of games begin.

Smith (hamstring) said Friday that he's not sure if he'll play Sunday at Baltimore, EJ Smith of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Smith said the final decision won't be his, adding that he isn't sure what he'd decide if it were up to him. A 'questionable' designation seems likely, potentially setting up a game-time decision ahead of the Eagles' 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff in Baltimore this Sunday.

Hodge (neck) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's matchup with the Chargers.

With Darnell Mooney (Achilles) and Drake London (hip) also avoiding injury designations, Hodge figures to have his usual role as the No. 4 wide receiver in an offense that rarely takes any of its top three guys off the field.

Smith (hamstring) is participating in practice Friday, Brooks Kubena of The Athletic reports.

Smith returned to limited practice participation Thursday after sitting out Wednesday following his absence from Philadelphia's 37-20 Week 12 win over the Rams. Smith could avoid an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Ravens if he practices Friday without limitations, but it's more likely he'll be listed as questionable when the Eagles publish their final injury report.

Head coach Shane Steichen has ruled out Downs (shoulder) for Sunday's game against the Patriots.

With Downs and Ashton Dulin (ankle) both out, Michael Pittman, Alec Pierce (foot) and Adonai Mitchell are in line to lead the Colts' Week 13 wideout corps. With the team on bye in Week 14, Downs' next chance to see game action will arrive Dec. 15 against the Broncos.

Head coach Raheem Morris said Friday that London (hip) will be good to go for Sunday's game against the Chargers, Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com reports.

London was added to the injury report Thursday as a limited practice participant due to a hip injury, but he'll be available coming out of Atlanta's Week 12 bye. Atlanta has yet to release its Friday injury report, but it wouldn't be surprising if London returned to full participation and avoided an injury designation. Morris added that fellow wide receiver Darnell Mooney, who has been battling an Achilles injury, will also play against the Chargers.

Coker (quadriceps) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Tampa Bay.

Coker hasn't practiced since first landing on the injury report last Friday and now will miss a second straight game. The Panthers used David Moore, Xavier Legette and Adam Thielen as their top wide receivers in last week's loss to the Chiefs, with Thielen taking most of the slot snaps that went to Coker for much of October and early-to-mid November.

Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said Friday that Lamb (shoulder) will benefit from extra rest time between games and should be ready for Week 14 against the Bengals on Mon., Dec. 9, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

After suffering an AC joint injury at the beginning of November, the wideout injured/aggravated his same right shoulder in the third quarter of Thursday's win over the Giants. He didn't play any snaps in the fourth quarter but may avoid additional missed time, benefitting from a 10-day gap between games. Lamb has yet to miss a game this season despite being listed on injury reports throughout November due to his shoulder/back/foot.
