Pittman (foot) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game, according to Alan Saunders of Steelers Now.

A limited practice participant throughout the week, Pittman appears truly questionable ahead of a 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff Sunday. If he can't go, Germie Bernard figures to fill in again alongside DK Metcalf and Roman Wilson in an offense that's largely worked out of three-wide formations this season.

Collins (hamstring) will not play in Sunday's game at Indianapolis.

Collins hasn't practiced since injuring his hamstring at practice last week. He'll miss a second straight game, again leaving Houston with Kayshon Boutte, Xavier Hutchinson, Jaylin Noel and Jared Wayne as the top wide receivers. Collins' next chance to play will be the following Sunday against the Cowboys.

Dowdle (toe) has been ruled out for Sunday's gam at Cincinnati, Alan Saunders of Steelers Now reports.

Dowdle missed the fourth quarter of Pittsburgh's Week 2 contest and hasn't practiced since. Jaylen Warren (shoulder) also picked up an injury last week, but he's listed as questionable and seemingly expected to carry the load in Pittsburgh's backfield this week, per Nick Farabaugh of PennLive.com. The Steelers then have a quick turnaround with a Thursday matchup against Cleveland.

Evans (hip) is taking part in Friday's practice, David Lombardi of the San Francisco Standard reports.

The 49ers listed Evans as a non-participant on their first two Week 3 injury reports due to a hip issue, but he ran on a side field Thursday and appears poised to mix into drills to wrap up the week. Friday's injury report will reveal both his activity level and whether or not he carries a designation ahead of Sunday's contest against the Cardinals.

Warren (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bengals after being a limited participant in Friday's practice, Alan Saunders of Steelers Now reports.

A limited practice participant throughout the week, Warren gets a 'questionable' tag but may in fact be headed for his largest workload of the season. Backfield mate Rico Dowdle (toe) has been ruled out, and Steelers RBs coach Ramon Chinyoung suggested Friday that Warren will play, per Nick Farabaugh of PennLive.com. The Steelers otherwise have Travis Homer and Lew Nichols (practice squad) as their top alternatives, which could lead to Warren seeing more work on early downs while Homer takes over some of the passing snaps. An early kickoff at 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff allows Warren's fantasy managers to confirm his availability when inactive lists are released Sunday morning around 11:30 a.m. ET.

Bagent (concussion) didn't take part in practice Friday.

The Bears placed Bagent in the concussion protocol Tuesday, and he remained away from the team's facility until Friday, when he rejoined his teammates, per Courtney Cronin of ESPN. It's a sign of progress as Bagent makes his way through the protocol, but his lack of activity indicates he's trending toward not being available Monday against the Eagles. Both No. 1 QB Caleb Williams and Bagent have been listed DNPs so far this week, and if neither player is cleared to play Week 3, Case Keenum will get the call under center for Chicago.

Spears (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Giants, Turron Davenport of ESPN reports.

Spears returned to practice Friday as a limited participant after sitting out the previous two days. Tony Pollard, meanwhile, upgraded to full participation at the end of the week and doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game. Even if Spears ends up playing, he won't have much fantasy appeal when he's the less healthy of two RBs in a backfield that hasn't been productive so far. The Titans and Giants are schedule for an early kickoff Sunday at 1:00 p.m. ET.

Pollard (ankle) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Giants after returning to a full practice Friday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Tyjae Spears, on the other hand, is listed as questionable due to an ankle injury of his own. Neither running back has been of much use to fantasy managers this season, but Pollard would at least get a significant projection boost if Spears were to land on the inactive list ahead of a 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff Sunday.

Williams (hamstring) was a non-participant at Friday's practice.

Williams has yet to mix into drills this week in the wake of the right hamstring injury that he sustained during a Week 2 loss to the Vikings. While the Bears haven't ruled out either Williams or his direct backup Tyson Bagent (concussion) just yet for Week 3 action, it appears that the team is trending toward starting 38-year-old Case Keenum on Monday versus the Eagles.

Monangai (knee) took part in Friday's practice and was listed as a full participant, Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Monangai didn't participate at Thursday's session due to a knee injury, but his ability to get back to all activity one day later clears up the health of the running back ahead of Monday's game against the Eagles. Through two games this season while working in tandem with D'Andre Swift out of the Bears backfield, Monangai has racked up 182 yards from scrimmage and one rushing TD on 24 touches.
