McKee (thumb) was a full participant at practice Friday, Eliot Shorr-Parks of Sports Radio 94 WIP Philadelphia reports.

McKee will be back in his role as the primary reserve option at quarterback behind Jalen Hurts in Week 4. McKee had served as the team's emergency third QB each of the last two weeks while nursing a thumb injury.

Baun (knee) was a full participant at practice Friday, Eliot Shorr-Parks of Sports Radio 94 WIP Philadelphia reports.

Baun was able to work himself up to full participation at practice before the end of the week, erasing any doubt about his chances to play Sunday at Tampa Bay. The linebacker has compiled 22 total tackles (14 solo) and three passes defensed, including an interception, over three games this season.

Godwin (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Eagles after logging a full practice Friday, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Godwin sandwiched full practices on Wednesday and Friday around scheduled rest Thursday. Meanwhile, Buccaneers coach Todd Bowles suggested Friday that Godwin, QB Baker Mayfield (biceps) and LT Tristan Wirfs (ankle) are all on track to play this weekend. That doesn't mean Godwin will jump right back into last year's workload or production, but the Bucs could certainly use his help after losing Mike Evans to a hamstring injury last week.

Jackson (groin) is doubtful to play in Sunday's matchup with the Buccaneers, Eliot Shorr-Parks of Sports Radio 94 WIP Philadelphia reports.

Jackson was limited at practice on Thursday and Friday, but he now appears to be set to miss Week 4 while nursing a groin injury. In his absence, Parry Nickerson and Kelee Ringo stand to see an increase in workload at cornerback against Tampa Bay.

Ward (shoulder/toe) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Lions, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

Ward upgraded from a DNP at Wednesday's practice to a full session Friday, suggesting he's moved past his injuries in time to face the Lions on Sunday. The Ohio State product has logged eight total tackles and two passes defended over Cleveland's first three games this season. He's expected to start opposite Greg Newsome as part of the Browns' top outside cornerback duo in Week 4.

The Texans placed Johnson (hamstring) on the injured reserve list Friday.

Johnson will be forced to miss at least the Texans' next four games due to an apparent hamstring injury. The Tennessee product appeared in each of Houston's first three games this season, playing 76 total snaps (40 on offense, 36 on special teams) while failing to record an offensive stat.

Tillman (hand/hip) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Lions, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

Following back-to-back limited practices Wednesday and Thursday, Tillman was able to log a full session Friday, paving the way for him to play Sunday. Tillman has secured 10 of 18 targets for 100 yards and two touchdowns through three games this season.

Muhammad (knee) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Browns, Eric Woodyard of ESPN.com reports.

The veteran defensive end upgraded from a DNP on Wednesday to limited sessions Thursday and Friday, suggesting he's trending toward playing in Sunday's contest. Muhammad has wreaked havoc on opposing quarterbacks so far this season, recording eight total tackles, including 3.5 sacks, across three games. If he's unable to play in Week 4, Tyler Lacy will likely see increased reps with the Lions' first-team defense.

Jennings (ankle/shoulder) is in uniform for practice Friday, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.

He's set to practice for the first time since suffering an ankle injury Week 2. The 49ers listed Jennings as questionable last week, before downgrading him to 'out' on game day. He may have a real chance to play this week, facing the Jaguars.

Vaki (groin) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Browns, Eric Woodyard of ESPN.com reports.

The Utah product didn't practice all week after sustaining a groin injury in the Lions' Week 3 win over the Ravens, so it's no surprise that he'll be sidelined Sunday. Vaki played just seven special-teams snaps in that contest, so his absence is unlikely to have much impact on Detroit in Week 4.
