Barner (calf) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Arizona, but he seems likely to play after logging a full practice Friday, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.

The quick return to full participation confirms that Barner's injury isn't serious, though the Seahawks weren't quite ready to remove him from their injury report. He hasn't missed a game this season and should fill his usual role as the No. 1 tight end, which has resulted in four receiving touchdowns and one rushing score despite averaging just 3.25 targets per game.

Saylors (back) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Commanders.

A back issue prevented Saylors from participating in the final two practices of Week 10 prep, and the injury is severe enough for him to be sidelined for Sunday's road contest. Craig Reynolds (hamstring) is currently listed as questionable, and if he were to join Saylors on the Lions' inactive list, then Sione Vaki would serve as the Lions' RB3 behind Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery. Saylors' next opportunity to suit up is Week 11 against the Eagles on Sunday, Nov. 16.

Kupp (hamstring/heel) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Arizona, but he appears on track to play after upgrading to full practice participation Friday, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.

Kupp missed a Week 9 rout of the Commanders after injuring his hamstring last Thursday, but it seems he was correct when he downplayed the severity, as he's now looking good to play just 10 days after the initial injury. Seattle's wideout depth is depleted, including No. 3 receiver Tory Horton (shin) being listed as doubtful, which means Kupp could get plenty of snaps even with the addition of Rashid Shaheed.

Joseph (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Commanders.

Joseph is set to miss a third consecutive game due to a knee injury he sustained during the Lions' Week 6 loss to the Chiefs. Thomas Harper and Erick Hallett are candidates to start at safety alongside Brian Branch in Joseph's absence. Joseph will aim to progress enough in his recovery to play in Week 11 against the Eagles on Sunday, Nov. 16.

Douglas (foot) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Bills, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.

Douglas failed to log a practice this week and will likely not play Sunday against his former team. Ethan Bonner and Jason Marshall are in line to split snaps at outside corner in the absence of Douglas. If the 30-year-old cornerback ends up ruled out, he will have his next chance to return to the field in Week 11 against the Commanders.

Pearsall (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Rams, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

He hasn't practiced for more than a month, still limited to side-field work with the training staff. Pearsall will miss a sixth consecutive game, leaving Jauan Jennings and Kendrick Bourne unchallenged as San Francisco's top two wide receivers.

Jones will start Sunday's game against the Rams even if Brock Purdy (toe) is active, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

Purdy, listed as questionable, will merely be a backup if active. Jones has done a nice job of guiding San Francisco's offense, but he doesn't offer much in the way of rushing stats and is looking at a tough matchup with the Rams defense this Sunday.

Purdy (toe) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Rams, but Mac Jones will start at quarterback even if Purdy is active, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

If he suits up Sunday, Purdy would merely be the No. 2 quarterback, with a return to the starting role perhaps coming Week 11 versus the Cardinals. For now, Jones will get at least one more start, leading San Francisco's offense into a highly anticipated NFC West showdown.

Jones (knee) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game at Seattle, Tyler Drake of ArizonaSports.com reports.

He played through the same injury last week, handling a 52 percent snap share without seeing a target in the 27-17 win over Dallas. Jones should be fine to fill his usual role as the No. 3 WR in a TE-centric offense.

Oliver (foot) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Ravens.

Oliver will miss a second consecutive week due to the foot sprain he suffered in Week 8 against the Chargers. The loss of the backup tight end will likely mean more snaps for Ben Yurosek again, who has logged 32 offensive snaps in the past two games since Oliver suffered his injury.
