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.

Barnes (knee) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Browns, Eric Woodyard of ESPN.com reports.

The Purdue product was a limited participant in practice both Wednesday and Thursday due to a knee injury. However, he upgraded to a full session Friday, suggesting he's ready to play in Sunday's affair. Barnes has recorded 19 total tackles, including 1.0 sacks, over Detroit's first three games this season. He's expected to serve as one of the team's top outside linebackers in Week 4.

Van Noy (hamstring) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Chiefs, Cordell Woodland of 105.7 The Fan Baltimore reports.

After logging a pair of DNPs on Wednesday and Thursday, Van Roy was able to get in a limited session Friday. The 34-year-old missed Week 3 but is hoping to return against Kansas City to help shore up a Baltimore run defense that was decked by the Lions last Monday night.

Washington (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Chiefs.

The 28-year-old was unable to practice all week due to an ankle injury, so it's no surprise that he'll be sidelined Sunday. Washington has tallied four total tackles and one pass defended across the Ravens' first three games this season. In his absence, Aeneas Peebles is expected to see increased reps on Baltimore's defensive line.

Likely (foot) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Chiefs after being deemed a full practice participant Friday.

That Likely upgraded to full participation bodes well for his chances of making his regular-season debut this weekend, but coach John Harbaugh fell short of predicting that Friday, per Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com, with the coach saying, "He looks good to me. We'll just have to see if it's the best thing for us on Sunday, and we haven't really decided that yet." If Likely is in uniform against Kansas City, he'd bolster a TE corps that also includes Mark Andrews (who logged a 6-91-2 line on six targets Week 3) and Charlie Kolar, a scenario that doesn't ensure high volume for Likely out of the gate.

Ricard (calf) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Chiefs.

Ricard is now in line to miss his fourth consecutive game as he continues to recover from a calf injury sustained in August. While there's still no timetable for the 31-year-old's return, his absence from practice all week suggests he remains far from a coming back.

Fulton (ankle) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Ravens.

Fulton missed the Chiefs' Week 3 win over the Giants due to an ankle injury sustained the game prior, but he's got a chance to play Sunday after practicing in a limited fashion throughout the week. If Fulton is able to play in Week 4, he'd likely serve as one of Kansas City's top reserve corners. If not, Josh Williams is projected to see increased defensive work.

Worthy (shoulder) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's contest against the Ravens.

Worthy thus has been cleared for his first game action since he was knocked from the Chiefs' Week 1 loss early following a collision with TE Travis Kelce. Diagnosed with a dislocated right shoulder afterward, Worthy sat out Weeks 2 and 3, but his ability to practice in full this week indicates he's ready for close to his typical workload. From Week 14 through Super Bowl LIX last season (minus Week 18), he handled greater than 80 percent of the offensive snaps regularly and recorded a 45-518-5 line on 58 targets and 12 carries for 63 yards and another touchdown across seven games.

Danna (quadriceps) is listed as doubtful ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Ravens.

The 27-year-old downgraded from full practice Thursday to a limited session Friday, suggesting he's trending in the wrong direction ahead of Sunday's contest. Danna has appeared in two games for Kansas City this season, recording two total tackles across 47 defensive snaps. If he's sidelined for the second consecutive time in Week 4, expect Charles Omenihu to see increased work on the Chiefs' defensive line.
