Wright (foot) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bengals, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Wright missed Week 3 with a foot injury and stinger, before returning for Week 4 and splitting backfield work with Ollie Gordon early on. Gordon dominated snaps after breaking off a long run in the third quarter of the loss to Minnesota, and he was the favorite to take most of the carries this week even before Wright became a mid-week addition to the injury report. He's listed with a foot issue again, getting a questionable designation after limited practices Thursday and Friday. Meanwhile, the Dolphins claimed RB Kaytron Allen off waivers Friday, giving them another option in the backfield.

Douglas (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bengals, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

With Douglas set to miss a third straight game, Miami will again trot out Malik Washington, Chris Bell and Kevin Coleman as its primary three-receiver set.

Croskey-Merritt (groin) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game versus the Giants, Zach Selby of the Commanders' official site reports.

Croskey-Merritt followed up back-to-back limited sessions to kick off Week 5 prep with a full practice Friday, and his lack of injury tag indicates he's good to play through his groin injury. Meanwhile, Rachaad White (shoulder) also has been cleared to return after sitting out Week 4, so Croskey-Merritt will have a bit more competition for backfield reps. Austin Ekeler also is on hand for any touches that linger.

Johnston (chest) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Denver

With Johnston ruled out and Ladd McConkey (foot) listed as questionable, Tre' Harris may end up being the No. 1 wide receiver for Justin Herbert this week. There was no hint earlier this week of Johnston's chest injury being serious, but he'll apparently miss at least one game.

Likely (knee/groin) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game at Washington, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

With limited practices Wednesday and Thursday, Likely was upgraded to full Friday and is all systems go for Sunday's divisional matchup. He's coming off a season-high 12 targets in last Sunday's win over the Cardinals and has 22 catches for 190 yards and two touchdowns on 35 targets through four games as a TE1 in fantasy.

Allen was claimed off waivers by the Dolphins on Friday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Allen was waived by the Commanders on Thursday, and he was scooped up by a new team a day later. Washington simply accumulated too many running backs to keep the rookie sixth-rounder around, but that will be less of an issue at his new stop, as Ollie Gordon and Jaylen Wright (foot) are the only other running backs on the roster with De'Von Achane (knee) on IR.

McConkey (foot) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Denver, while teammate Quentin Johnston (chest) has been ruled out.

McConkey didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday and wasn't spotted by media at the start of Friday's session. The Chargers nonetheless are holding out hope he can play, potentially setting up a game-time decision ahead of the 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff Sunday. Tre' Harris figures to play a lot of WR snaps for the Chargers even if McConkey is active, as the team's depth was depleted before the starters got injured.

McLaurin (hamstring) was limited at Friday's practice and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Giants, Zach Selby of the Commanders' official site reports.

McLaurin was a late addition to Washington's Week 4 injury report due to a hamstring issue and ended up being inactive this past Sunday versus the Colts in London. While he "pushed to play," as head coach Dan Quinn told Tashan Reed of The Washington Post afterward, McLaurin wasn't able to practice in any capacity before his return to drills Friday. At that point, Quinn relayed to Selby that McLaurin "looked good," but the veteran wide receiver's status won't be confirmed until about 90 minutes before Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff. If McLaurin is able to suit up, he likely will operate as the No. 1 WR for QB Jayden Daniels with position mate Stefon Diggs (hamstring) ruled out.

Flowers (foot) is listed as questionable for Sunday night's game against the Falcons.

With Flowers having been limited in practice throughout the week due to the foot issue, his status remains up in the air heading into Sunday night. Flowers has been playing through injuries all season up to this point and could be looking at another muted workload in Atlanta. If he can't play, Rashod Bateman and Mark Andrews would be Tyler Huntley's top targets.
