Warren (groin) is good to go for Sunday's game against the Jaguars, Mike Chappell of FOX59 reports.

Warren missed the past two games after suffering a groin injury during practice. The Colts have lost some talent since then, but they still have their key playmakers at the skill positions, apart from wideout Alec Pierce (IR - heel). Warren should see plenty of work Sunday if he stays healthy.

Egbuka (foot) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Falcons, Scott Smith of the Bucs' official site reports.

With the concussion no longer the issue, Egbuka's availability is now being dictated by his foot injury. His absence will force Tez Johnson and Ted Hurst into more snaps and targets alongside veteran slot man Chris Godwin. Egbuka's next chance to play will be Week 9 against the Bears. The Bucs then have their bye the following week.

Wicks (ankle) wasn't spotted at the start of Friday's practice, Andrew DiCecco of InsideTheBirds.com reports.

With Wicks and DeVonta Smith (hamstring) both remaining DNP on Friday, it appears as if the Eagles are going to head into Sunday night against the Commanders leaning on Makai Lemon, Darius Cooper, Hollywood Brown and Elijah Moore at wide receiver for the second straight week.

Smith (hamstring) remains sidelined for Friday's practice, Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Smith has missed practice all week, making him unlikely to play Sunday night against the Commanders. Dontayvion Wicks (ankle) was also absent Friday, paving the way for Makai Lemon, Darius Cooper, Hollywood Brown and Elijah Moore to again handle wideout duties in Week 8.

Barkley (hamstring/back) is practicing Friday, Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

After sitting out Wednesday and Thursday's practices, Barkley's return to the field Friday at least gives him a chance to suit up Sunday night against the Commanders. His official participation level and any game designation will provide more clarity on his status heading into the weekend. Elijah Mitchell and Jaydon Blue are next in line for snaps and carries for the Eagles if Barkley is unable to play.

Henderson (illness) isn't practicing Friday, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

After missing back-to-back practices, Henderson has two days to get healthy before the Patriots face the Dolphins on Sunday at 1:00 p.m. ET. An absence would improve the workload projections for Rhamondre Stevenson and Corey Kiner in a favorable matchup, though Henderson got just five touches in a 30-24 loss to the Bears last week.

Burks (foot) participated in Friday's practice, Tashan Reed of The Washington Post reports.

After logging a DNP on Thursday, Burks' return to the field Friday gives him a chance to suit up Sunday night against the Eagles. With Terry McLaurin (knee) done for the season, Burks is expected to take on a larger offensive role alongside Stefon Diggs, Antonio Williams and Dyami Brown at wide receiver.

Brown (ankle/knee) was not spotted at Friday's practice, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.

Brown was limited Wednesday and missed practice Thursday, with reports confirming a flare-up in his knee. He's managed chronic/degenerative knee problems throughout his career, typically managing to play even when the issue flares up. That said, the back-to-back absences from practice suggest Brown is in danger of missing Sunday's game at Miami, potentially leaving DeMario Douglas, Efton Chism and Kyle Williams as New England's top three WRs.

Young has been playing through a left knee issue since initially suffering the injury in Week 3 against the Browns, Mike Kaye of ESPN.com reports.

Young has been wearing a brace on the left knee, but the quarterback refused to blame the injury for his poor performance of late. However, coach Dave Canales said after Thursday night's 27-19 loss to the Packers that he notices Young doesn't have the escapability in the pocket behind Carolina's makeshift offensive line. Young was pressured on nearly half of his dropbacks against Green Bay and was unable to make anything happen down the field in the passing game. He'll have 10 days to rest his knee before a Week 9 date with the Broncos.

Spears (knee) isn't practicing Friday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Spears missed last week's loss to Cleveland, and he isn't likely to play this week after sitting out every practice. Tony Pollard figures to handle another large workload Sunday at Cincinnati.
