Helm (knee) does not carry an injury designation for Sunday's AFC South showdown against the Texans, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Helm popped up on Thursday's injury report as a limited practice participant due to a knee injury. However, the second-year tight end was a full participant in Friday's session, which was enough for him to fade and injury tag for Week 5. Helm saw just one target against the Ravens in Week 4 and has a 9-60-0 receiving line (on 12 targets) through four games.

Goedert (knee) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game at Jacksonville.

After missing Weeks 3 and 4 due to a sprained MCL in his right knee, Goedert got back on the practice field this week, logging limited sessions Wednesday and Thursday before a full practice Friday gave him the all clear to play again. With both WR DeVonta Smith and RB Saquon Barkley sidelined this weekend due to respective hamstring injuries, Goedert figures to be a featured part of the Eagles' passing attack.

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.
