Shakir (ankle/ribs) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers.

Shakir opened Week 11 prep as limited Wednesday, and he maintained that activity level one day later. The wideout proceeded to cap the week with a full session Friday, thereby clearing him for Sunday's contest. Shakir has recorded at least six catches in all three games since the team's Week 7 bye, accumulating a 20-189-1 line on 24 targets in the process.

Slayton (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Packers, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Slayton returned to last week's loss at Chicago after exiting with a groin injury, but he had just four yards in the second half and then missed practice all of this week. The Giants are left with Ray-Ray McCloud, Jalin Hyatt, Gunner Olszewski and Isaiah Hodgins behind Wan'Dale Robinson at wide receiver, after the Broncos poached Lil'Jordan Humphrey from New York's practice squad earlier this week. The Giants also might consider bringing Ihmir Smith-Marsette or Dalen Cambre up from the practice squad.

Collins (oblique) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Ravens, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.

According to Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram, Collins had an issue with his oblique during Friday's practice, putting his status for Sunday's divisional contest in question. The veteran defensive lineman has appeared in nine games this season, recording 19 total tackles over 356 defensive snaps. If he's sidelined in Week 11, expect Shelby Harris to operate as one of Cleveland's top interior defensive linemen.

Wright (quadriceps) won't play Sunday against the Ravens, but coach Kevin Stefanski said Friday that Wright won't be placed on injured reserve, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.

Wright hasn't recovered from the quadriceps injury he sustained in Cleveland's Week 10 loss to the Jets, but the team is optimistic that he will take less than four weeks to recover. His next chance to play will come in Week 12 against the Raiders.

Coach Andy Reid said Worthy tweaked his ankle at Thursday's practice, but the second-year wide receiver "did everything" at Friday's session and is "good to go" for Sunday's game at Denver, Pete Sweeney of ArrowheadPride.com reports.

That would seem to imply that Worthy was a full practice participant to wrap up Week 11 prep after being added to the Chiefs' injury report Thursday as limited due to an ankle injury. Friday's report will reveal whether or not Worthy enters the weekend with a designation for Sunday's contest.

Oliver (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Texans, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Despite logging two consecutive limited practice sessions to begin the week, Oliver will miss his eighth consecutive game as he continues to recover from a knee injury. Julius Chestnut and Chimere Dike are expected to continue operating as Tennessee's top kick returners until Oliver returns to in-game action.

Adams (oblique) will be listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Seattle, with Rams coach Sean McVay saying Friday that he expects the wideout to play, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.

It's the type of matchup where Adams might give it a go in a borderline situation, but this sounds more like a case where he's ready to play and will only sit out if there's a late setback. He made an early exit from last Sunday's 42-26 win over San Francisco, with McVay saying afterward that Adam likely would've returned if the score had been closer. Adams then missed practice Wednesday before returning as a limited participant Thursday.

Smith wasn't targeted in Thursday's 27-14 loss to the Patriots.

After leading all Jets wide receivers with a 67 percent snap share in Week 10, Smith was on the field for just nine snaps (16 percent) in Thursday's loss. Adonai Mitchell made his Jets debut and took over Smith's role as a field stretcher. Justin Fields hasn't shown much ability to complete passes more than a few yards downfield, so the Jets will likely continue to get minimal production through the air in the absence of Garrett Wilson (knee).

Woods (hamstring) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Texans, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

The veteran safety from Louisiana Tech is now in line to miss his second consecutive game due to a hamstring injury sustained in the Week 8 loss to the Colts. While Woods remains sidelined, expect Kevin Winston have an expanded role in the Titans' secondary.

Coach Andy Reid said Pacheco (knee) didn't practice Friday, Pete Sweeney of ArrowheadPride.com reports.

Pacheco hasn't practiced since taking a hit to the side of his right knee during a Week 8 win against the Commanders, after which he was diagnosed with a sprained MCL. He thus appears destined to be ruled out for a second game in a row coming out of the Chiefs' Week 10 bye. Kareem Hunt will continue to lead the backfield for as long as Pacheco is sidelined.
