Spears (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Colts.

After being limited Wednesday and then sitting out Thursday's practice, Spears now carries a questionable tag into the weekend. He returned to full participation Friday, which suggests he's on track to be active ahead of the 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff.

Wicks (hamstring) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's contest versus the Panthers.

Wicks was limited Wednesday and didn't log any on-field work Thursday, but an uncapped session Friday has him in the clear for Week 6 action. He'll be welcoming back DeVonta Smith (hamstring) to the lineup, though, which may not allow Wicks to reach the 6.5 targets per game that he received during Smith's two-game absence.

Lane (wrist) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at Cleveland.

A full practice participant throughout the week, Lane will need to be taken off injured reserve on Friday or Saturday to play in Sunday's game. If that happens, he'll likely be Baltimore's third or fourth wide receiver, perhaps sharing snaps with Devontez Walker behind veteran starters Zay Flowers and Rashod Bateman (both cleared to play after being listed on the injury report this week).

Bateman (shoulder) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game at Cleveland.

A full practice Friday erases the concern about Bateman's shoulder injury, whereas QB Lamar Jackson (ankle) still isn't practicing and won't play this week.

Evans (ribs/Achilles) was working on the side during the open portion of Friday's practice, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

In addition to Evans' existing rib injury, the 49ers tacked on Achilles on Thursday, calling Evans a non-participant with head coach Kyle Shanahan terming it soreness, per Wagoner. It's unclear if Evans will do enough Friday to warrant an upgrade to limited, but the team's ensuing practice report will reveal as much.

Smith (hamstring) practiced in full Friday and doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game versus the Panthers.

Prior to logging a limited practice Thursday, Smith had been working on a side field for roughly one week, so a return to action seemed possible before the Eagles cleared him outright Friday. He thus will be making his first appearance this weekend since a Week 3 loss at Chicago, looking to build upon his 19-235-1 line on 27 targets through the first three contests. Smith won't be working with Jalen Hurts (calf) due to a blood clot, though, with backup QB Tanner McKee subbing in for Hurts for as long as the latter is sidelined.

Barkley (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Panthers, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

After missing a second straight week of practice due to a right hamstring injury, Barkley subsequently will be inactive for a second occasion this season. The Eagles placed Will Shipley (foot) on injured reserve Friday, so the backfield currently is occupied by Dameon Pierce and Carson Steele, the former of whom is the favorite to garner more of the workload for as long as Barkley is sidelined.

The Eagles placed Shipley (foot) on injured reserve Friday.

After being diagnosed with a partial tear of his plantar fascia earlier this week, Shipley was slated for a multi-week absence, and he now will miss at least the next four games while on IR. He'll join Tank Bigsby (abdomen) on the list, and with Saquon Barkley currently tending to a lingering hamstring injury, the Eagles currently host just two healthy RBs (Dameon Pierce and Carson Steele) on the active roster. Shipley's next chance for game action is Sunday, Nov. 22 against the Steelers.

Flowers (toe) is has been cleared to play for Sunday's game at Cleveland.

The Ravens added Flowers to their injury report Thursday as a limited participant, and while he remained limited Friday, his game availability isn't in doubt. Tyler Huntley is making another start at quarterback with Lamar Jackson (ankle) ruled out again.

Boston (foot) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Ravens, Chris Easterling of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

A limited practice participant throughout the week, Boston should be fine for his usual workload unless there's an in-game setback Sunday. He's rarely left the field for Cleveland this season, and his big plays have been about the only bright spot on offense.
