Ramsey (hamstring) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Browns.

After logging consecutive DNPs to open the Steelers' week of practice, Ramsey upgraded to a full session Friday, suggesting he's trending in the right direction ahead of Sunday's divisional matchup. The veteran corner has appeared in all four of Pittsburgh's games thus far, recording 14 total tackles and four passes defended, including one interception. However, if he's sidelined for the first time in Week 6, expect Brandin Echols to step in and start at slot corner.

Purdy (toe) is doing side work Friday but still isn't practicing, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Second-string quarterback Mac Jones (knee/oblique) was taking snaps and throwing passes at the start of Friday's practice, after not doing much throwing during Thursday's session (he was listed as limited). The 49ers haven't ruled Purdy out for Sunday's game at Tampa Bay, but Jones seems to be preparing for the start.

Brisker (quadriceps) was a full participant in Friday's practice.

The Penn State product didn't practice Thursday due to a quad injury, but it now appears he's moved past the issue. Brisker has played 100 percent of the Bears' defensive snaps through four games this season, recording 21 total tackles and one pass defended. He's expected to start alongside Kevin Byard to form Chicago's top safety duo in the Week 6 matchup against the Commanders.

Wilson (knee) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Chargers, Travis Wingfield of the Dolphins' official site reports.

Wilson upgraded to a full practice Friday after beginning the week with consecutive limited sessions, suggesting he's moved past his knee injury in time to face the Chargers on Sunday. The veteran wideout was signed off the Saints' practice squad in late September and has yet to play this season. He'll likely play a reserve role in Miami's wide-receiver corps in Week 6.

Williams (knee) practiced in full Friday.

The third-year pro from Tulane was a limited participant in Thursday's practice due to a knee injury, but Friday's full session suggests he's moved past the issue. Williams has appeared in four games for Buffalo this season, recording 18 total tackles and one pass defended. Now back at full health, he's expected to start alongside Terrel Bernard in the Bills' linebacker corps in Monday night's matchup against the Falcons.

Austin (shoulder) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Browns after not practicing this week.

Austin was forced out of a Week 4 win over the Vikings after logging 27 snaps and catching both of his targets for 13 yards, and he'll target a potential return to action next Thursday night against the Bengals. In Austin's absence this weekend, Ben Skowronek, Scotty Miller and Roman Wilson are candidates to see added opportunities behind WR1 DK Metcalf.

Reid (concussion) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Patriots, Ross Jackson of WWL Louisiana reports.

The 28-year-old safety sustained a concussion during the Week 5 win over the Giants but has since cleared protocol in time to suit up Sunday. Reid, a first-year Saint, has tallied 18 total tackles and one pass defended across his first five games with the team. Now healthy again, he's expected to start alongside Jonas Sanker to form New Orleans' top safety duo.

Kincaid (oblique) remained a limited participant in practice Friday.

Kincaid has been limited both Thursday and Friday. He'll have one more opportunity to upgrade to full participation Saturday before the Bills reveal their injury designations for Monday's game against the Falcons.

Metchie saw the field for just three offensive snaps and did not catch a pass in Thursday's loss to the Giants.

Despite trailing for the entirety of the second half, the Eagles rarely put enough wide receivers on the field for Metchie, the fourth wideout on the depth chart, to see any action. He now has a total of four catches across his first six games with the team.

Bellinger didn't get any targets in Thursday's 34-17 Week 6 win over the Eagles.

In a Week 5 loss to New Orleans, Bellinger broke out with a season-high and team-leading 52 receiving yards on four catches. That led to an expectation that he would be significantly involved on offense Week 6 with New York depleted at the wideout position, per Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com, but things didn't shake out that way. While Bellinger did log a healthy 57 percent snap share, he never had a pass thrown his way during a game in which New York leaned heavily on its ground game. Meanwhile, No. 1 tight end Theo Johnson caught two of four targets for 27 yards and logged a 90 percent snap share. Though Bellinger has caught every one of his targets so far this season, that's resulted in a very modest 7-85-0 receiving line through six contests.
