Burrow (back) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at Houston, but Bengals coach Zac Taylor said Friday that the quarterback is good to go, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.

Burrow's return to full participation Friday should answer any remaining doubts, following limited practices earlier in the week. He'll be on the road against a tough Houston defense, but the Bengals at least appear in good shape from a health standpoint with Burrow being the lone starter that has an injury designation. The Bengals and Texans are scheduled for a 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff Sunday.

Collins (hamstring) will not play Sunday against the Bengals.

Collins injured his hamstring during Wednesday's practice and wasn't able to return Thursday or Friday. With his absence confirmed, the Texans have Kayshon Boutte, Xavier Hutchinson, Jaylin Noel and Jared Wayne as their healthy options at wide receiver. Collins typically accounts for more than one-fourth of Houston's targets, so his absence also could push some volume toward the team's RBs and TEs.

McMillan (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Browns.

Despite being listed as a full participant on all three Week 2 injury reports, McMillan isn't in the clear to make his season debut, which ultimately may not be known until about 90 minutes before Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff. He's been dealing with a knee issue since early August, but if he's active this weekend, he'd join Ted Hurst and Tez Johnson as the WR options behind Emeka Egbuka and Chris Godwin.

Pierce (heel) was a full participant in Friday's practice and doesn't carry an injury designation for Sunday's game at Kansas City.

After sitting out Thursday's session, Pierce returned to full work Friday and appears set to handle his usual role for Indianapolis. Colts coach Shane Steichen said Pierce's off day was for maintenance, suggesting the team was never worried about an absence. Pierce played 88 percent of snaps after halftime in the Week 1 loss to Baltimore, so he may have a full-time role despite being banged up already.

Pittman (foot) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Patriots, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

Pittman was a limited participant Wednesday, but he then missed Thursday's practice and again was listed as a 'DNP' on Friday after a walkthrough. New England's 1:00 p.m ET kickoff means fantasy managers will have a chance to react if Pittman comes down to a game-time decision Sunday morning. An absence should give rookie Germie Bernard his first chance at significant playing time, and both No. 3 WR Roman Wilson and No. 2 TE Darnell Washington are candidates for extra snaps to help fill the gap.

Flowers (hamstring) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against New Orleans.

Flowers returned to practice Friday as a limited participant, with Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reporting that the wideout didn't do much during the open portion of practice. With Flowers unlikely to play, Baltimore's top wideouts for Week 2 are Rashod Bateman, Devontez Walker, Chris Moore, Elijah Sarratt and LaJohntay Wester.

Monangai (hamstring) was a full participant in Friday's practice and doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game versus the Vikings.

Monangai and fellow RB D'Andre Swift (ankle/knee) followed the same practice regimen this week, going from limited Wednesday and Thursday to all activity Friday. In the Bears' 59-37 win at Carolina this past Sunday, Monangai played second fiddle to Swift but still turned 12 touches into 124 yards from scrimmage and one rushing TD on a 43 percent snap share, while Swift handled the other 57 percent and had 19 touches for 134 total yards and three rushing TDs.

Swift (ankle/knee) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game against the Vikings.

Swift and fellow RB Kyle Monangai (hamstring) were listed as limited on the Bears' first two Week 2 injury reports, but both players logged full practices Friday and thus are ready for Sunday's contest. In the Bears' 59-37 win at Carolina this past Sunday, Swift turned a 57 percent snap share into 19 touches for 134 yards from scrimmage and three rushing TDs, while Monangai handled the other 43 percent to the tune of 12 touches for 124 total yards and one TD on the ground.

Coach Kevin O'Connell said Friday that Wentz will be the Vikings' starting quarterback Sunday at Chicago with Kyler Murray (concussion) ruled out for that contest.

Wentz stepped in for Murray 12 plays into this past Sunday's game against the Packers and helped guide the Vikings to a 39-22 win, but the former completed 12 of 19 passes for just 133 yards. Wentz did toss three touchdowns -- 39 and nine yards to Justin Jefferson, 16 yards to T.J. Hockenson -- but otherwise he managed the game and didn't commit a turnover. O'Connell relayed to Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com that he expects Murray to clear the concussion protocol next week, so Sunday's nod could be Wentz's last for some time.

McConkey (rib) is back at practice Friday for the Chargers, Kris Rhim of ESPN.com reports.

McConkey was listed as a non-participant Wednesday and Thursday after missing the fourth quarter of a Week 1 loss to Arizona. His level of participation Friday should provide more clarity on his chances of suiting up Sunday against the Raiders. If McConkey doesn't play, Quentin Johnston and Tre' Harris will be in line for more routes and targets against a Raiders secondary that won't have starting cornerback Darien Porter (foot).
