Evans (hamstring) was spotted participating in practice Saturday, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

The Buccaneers will announce Evans' official injury status later in the afternoon Saturday, but the report indicates this is certainly a positive sign for the veteran's status entering Monday's clash against the Ravens. Expect a more detailed update to arrive in the coming hours.

Chark (groin) was limited at practice Friday.

The Chargers opened up Chark's 21-day practice window Wednesday, but it remains to be seen if he'll be activated from IR ahead of Monday night's game against the Cardinals. Once he returns to the mix, Chark will have an opportunity to claim a role in a wideout corps currently led by Ladd McConkey (hip), Quentin Johnston (ankle) and Joshua Palmer.

Ismail (undisclosed) was placed on the practice squad injured list Friday, Clifton Brown of Baltimore's official site reports.

Ismail will be out of action for a while from the team's practice squad as he deals with an unknown injury. With the 6-foot-6 pass catcher now out, tight end Zaire Mitchell-Paden has been re-signed to the practice squad in a corresponding move.

McConkey (hip) was limited at practice Friday.

McConkey was listed as limited on Thursday's practice estimate, a level of participation he maintained a day later. He thus has one more chance to upgrade to full participation and in turn potentially clearing himself ahead of Monday night's game against the Cardinals. With a 19-219-2 line on 32 targets through five games to date, McConkey has carved out a degree of fantasy utility in his first season as pro, thanks to his steady involvement in the Chargers' passing game.

Fehoko (shoulder/groin) practiced fully Friday.

Fehoko was estimated as a limited participant on Thursday's practice report, but his full participation in Friday's session paves the way for him to suit up Monday night against the Cardinals. He has just three catches (on seven targets) for 61 yards in five games to date, but two of those catches (for 44 yards) occurred in the Chargers' win over the Broncos in Week 6, when Fehoko saw a season-high 51 percent snap share. Ultimately, his Week 7 fantasy upside hinges on the availability of fellow WRs Quentin Johnston (ankle, DNP on Friday) and Ladd McConkey (hip, LP on Friday).

Johnston (ankle) didn't practice Friday.

After being listed as a non-participant on Thursday's practice estimate, Johnston didn't work in Friday's session, which sets the stage for what, if anything, he does Saturday to be pivotal with regard to his chances of suiting up Monday night against the Cardinals. In five games to date, Johnston has caught 14 of his 22 targets for 164 yards, though the wideout has helped the fantasy prospects of those who roster him by catching three TDs in that span.

Sims (back) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Packers.

Sims popped up on the Texans' injury report Friday as a non-participant in practice due to a back issue, which has put his availability for Week 7 in question. If the Kansas product is unable to play through injury Sunday, expect John Metchie to see increased work in Houston's wide-receiver corps, while Dameon Pierce and Tank Dell could be called on for kickoff return- and punt-return duties, respectively.

Wilson (ankle) was a limited practice participant Friday, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

Wilson also was limited Thursday, after handling a 95 percent snap share in last Sunday's 34-13 loss to the Packers. Fellow Cardinals wideout Marvin Harrison is progressing through concussion protocol, logging a full practice Friday without the use of a non-contact jersey.

Harrison (concussion) was a full practice participant Friday, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

Harrison has progressed rapidly since exiting last week's loss to the Packers in the first half. He managed a limited practice Thursday in a non-contact jersey, followed by a full session Friday in a normal jersey. Harrison still needs clearance from an independent neurologist in order to play in Monday's home game against the Chargers.

Whittington (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Raiders, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

Whittington and Cooper Kupp (ankle) both are listed as questionable after being limited practice participants Wednesday through Friday, with head coach Sean McVay saying Friday that Whittington is expected to play but Kupp may come down to a game-time decision. Whittington drew 18 targets in the final two games before a Week 6 bye, handling a near-every-down role alongside wideouts Demarcus Robinson and Tutu Atwell. Kupp's return would obviously complicate things, at least in terms of projected target volume if not automatically playing time.
