Purdy (toe) has been ruled out for Sunday's game at Houston, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

Mac Jones took the first-team reps in practice again and will make at least one more start. For his part, Purdy worked on a limited basis Wednesday through Friday, as he did last week, with coach Kyle Shanahan noting that the QB has been progressing, albeit slowly. Purdy's next chance to see game action will arrive Nov. 2 against the Giants.

McManus (quadriceps) is listed as questionable for Sunday night's game at Pittsburgh.

After missing the past two games, McManus returned to practice Thursday as a limited participant. He said afterward that he was pleased with both his leg strength and accuracy, but there's still some doubt about his Sunday availability after he failed to upgrade to full practice participation Friday.

Watson (back) upgraded to a full practice Friday.

Watson was limited Thursday but should be ready to roll Monday night against Washington. Watson has started all seven games this season, recording 30 tackles (18 solo), including 1.0 sacks, and four pass breakups, including one interception, on 96 percent of the defensive snaps.

Wicks (calf) has been ruled out for Sunday's game at Pittsburgh, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

Wicks exited in the second half of last Sunday's win at Arizona due to a calf injury, and coach Matt LaFleur told Zach Kruse of USA Today on Wednesday that the third-year wide receiver wasn't in line to practice this week. Wicks indeed didn't mix into drills Wednesday through Friday and thus will miss his first game of the season. The Packers have two other question marks in the receiving corps, with Christian Watson (knee) awaiting activation from the reserve/PUP list and Matthew Golden (hip) added to the injury report Friday as limited. Green Bay's current healthy options at the position are Romeo Doubs, Malik Heath and Savion Williams.

Watson (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday night's game at Pittsburgh, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

Watson still hasn't logged a full practice, remaining limited Wednesday through Friday this week. The Packers will need to activate him from the reserve/PUP list Saturday in order to have Watson available Sunday night. Should that happen, Watson likely will start off in a part-time role, even if fellow speedster Matthew Golden (questionable - hip) is limited or absent.

Yankoff (hamstring) was limited in Friday's practice, Commanders writer Ben Standig reports.

Yankoff wasn't on the injury report Thursday, so it's possible he was injured in Friday's session. The Commanders will practice again Saturday ahead of Monday night's game against the Chiefs. Yankoff also dealt with a hamstring injury at the end of last season.

Rapp (knee) was placed on injured reserve Friday.

Rapp will miss at least the Bills' next four contests after apparently aggravating his knee injury in the Week 6 loss to the Falcons ahead of the bye. Rapp dealt with a knee issue over the summer. Buffalo now has three safeties on injured reserve, leaving Cole Bishop, Sam Franklin and Jordan Hancock as the healthy options on the current 53-man roster.

Ojomo (shoulder) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Giants.

Ojomo was limited earlier in the week but practiced fully Friday. He has produced 17 tackles (seven solo), including 3.0 sacks, and one pass breakup on 66 percent of the defensive snaps this season.

Cooper (shoulder) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Giants.

Cooper was designated for return from injured reserve Thursday, opening his 21-day practice window, but he's yet to be activated after practicing in full Friday. Cooper has yet to see a target on offense through three appearances this season.

Calcaterra (oblique) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Giants.

After missing the previous two games, Calcaterra will return to the field as Dallas Goedert's backup. Calcaterra has just four catches for 40 scoreless yards on the season and carries little fantasy value while Goedert is healthy.
