  • Mack Hollins WR | NE

    Bills' Mack Hollins: Cleared to face Titans

    Hollins (shoulder) doesn't have an injry designation for Sunday's game against the Titans.

    Hollins upgraded to full practice participation Friday following a pair of limited sessions, so he'll be available for Sunday's home game . Khalil Shakir and Keon Coleman will likely continue to slot in ahead of Hollins in the pass-catching pecking order among Buffalo's wide receivers, but it remains to be seen if Amari Cooper will make his Bills debut Sunday after being acquired from the Browns in a trade Tuesday.

  • Jakobi Meyers WR | JAC

    Raiders' Jakobi Meyers: Doubtful for Week 7

    Raiders head coach Antonio Pierce said Friday that Meyers (ankle) will be listed as doubtful for Sunday's road game against the Rams, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.

    Meyers will miss his third straight practice of the week and likely his second consecutive game due to a lingering ankle injury. With Davante Adams having been traded to the Jets on Tuesday, Meyers will be in a position to work as Las Vegas' top wide receiver when he's available. However, things are trending toward Tre Tucker, DJ Turner, Tyreik McAllister, Alex Bachman and Kristian Wilkerson leading the Raiders' wide receiver corps Sunday, in addition to rookie phenom Brock Bowers at tight end. Final word on Meyer's status will arrive about 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff, at the latest.

  • Packers' Dontayvion Wicks: Questionable for Sunday

    Wicks (shoulder) will be listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Texans, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

    Wicks was a limited practice participant all week, after missing the final three quarters of last week's win over the Cardinals. He seems to have avoided a serious injury but could end up inactive ahead of the 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff this Sunday, in which case Christian Watson would get more snaps than usual and other Packers pass catchers would see slight boosts to their target-share projections.

  • Rams' Jordan Whittington: Expected to play

    Rams coach Sean McVay said Friday that Whittington (shoulder) is expected to play Sunday against the Raiders, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.

    Cooper Kupp, on the other hand, is considered truly questionable due to the left high-ankle sprain that's held him out since Week 2. Whittington suffered a shoulder injury Week 5, right before a bye week, and it seems he'll avoid any missed time. He drew 18 targets over the past two games but wouldn't be likely to approach that volume with Kupp back in the lineup.

  • Cooper Kupp WR | SEA

    Rams' Cooper Kupp: Possible game-time decision

    Kupp (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's matchup with the Raiders and may come down to a game-time decision, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.

    Kupp last played Week 2 and returned to practice this week as a limited participant coming out of a bye. The Rams have two games coming up in a five-day stretch, hosting the Vikings on Thursday after Sunday's matchup with the Raiders. Head coach Sean McVay said Friday that Kupp "had a good week," and "there's a possibility" he'll play Sunday, per Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com.

  • Darius Slayton WR | NYG

    Giants' Darius Slayton: Cleared to face Philly

    Slayton (groin) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Eagles, Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News reports.

    Slayton should get plenty of playing time but is highly unlikely to match his total of 11 targets from each of the past two games now that Malik Nabers (concussion/groin) is available. Slayton's 22 targets over the past two weeks were six more than he saw over the first four games combined (15) with Nabers in the lineup.

  • Chiefs' JuJu Smith-Schuster: Questionable, but in line to play

    Chiefs head coach Andy Reid said Friday that Smith-Schuster (hamstring) is in line to play Sunday versus the 49ers but will be officially labeled as questionable "just in case" he suffers a setback, Adam Teicher of ESPN.com reports.

    Reid said Smith-Schuster is practicing Friday after hamstring spasms kept him sidelined Thursday, and that the veteran wideout was "good today," per Jesse Newell of The Kansas City Star. While Smith-Schuster isn't yet fully in the clear for Sunday's road contest, Reid clearly is optimistic about his odds of taking the field. Prior to Kansas City's bye in Week 6, Smith-Schuster secured seven of eight targets for 130 yards in a Monday night win over the Saints. Smith-Schuster's rapport with quarterback Patrick Mahomes makes him a candidate to repeat strong target volume against San Francisco, especially considering the depleted nature of the Chiefs' wide receiver room.

  • Malik Nabers WR | NYG

    Giants' Malik Nabers: No injury designation

    Nabers (groin/concussion) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Eagles, Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record reports.

    Nabers cleared concussion protocol Thursday, and while a groin issue limited his activity level during Friday's practice, it apparently isn't serious enough to warrant a designation on the final Week 7 injury report. He'll make his fifth appearance of the season Sunday, returning from a two-game absence.

  • Cardinals' Marvin Harrison: Sheds non-contact jersey

    Harrison (concussion) isn't wearing a non-contact jersey at practice Friday, Howard Balzer of USA Today reports.

    It's a sign of progress in the concussion protocol, following his limited practice participation Thursday. Harrison has a chance to avoid missed time and suit up Monday night against the Chargers.

  • Broncos' Lil'Jordan Humphrey: Limited production in Week 7

    Humphrey caught two of three targets for 12 yards in Thursday's 33-10 win over the Saints.

    Humphrey finished the contest tied for the second-most offensive snaps (33) among wide receivers behind Troy Franklin, yet he was unable to get much going from a fantasy perspective. Quarterback Bo Nix completed just 16 passes for 164 yards against the Saints, and as the rookie continues to find his footing, its reasonable to expect Denver's pass catchers to put up inconsistent performances. Nonetheless, Humphrey and the Broncos head into a Week 8 matchup against a vulnerable Panthers defense, which could lead to more opportunities for Denver's skill-position players.
