Burks (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bills, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Burks' absence could lead to additional opportunities for Nick Westbrook-Ikhine, who scored his first touchdown of the season in this past Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Colts. Calvin Ridley, DeAndre Hopkins and Tyler Boyd continue to occupy the top three spots on the wide receiver depth chart in Tennessee's low-octane passing game. Burks' next chance to suit up will be Week 8 in Detroit, though his absence may extend beyond that point, as coach Brian Callahan said Friday that Burks may need to go on IR, per Wyatt.

Jets interim head coach Jeff Ulbrich said Friday that he expects Adams (hamstring) to have a full workload Sunday against the Steelers, Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic reports.

Adams practiced without limitations Wednesday and Thursday after being acquired via trade from the Raiders on Tuesday. The star receiver isn't expected to have any limitations in his Jets debut, which will mark his first action since Week 3. Adams' lack of injury designation is a relief for his fantasy managers, who otherwise would have had a tricky decision on their hands because the Jets play in the third-to-last game of Week 7 on Sunday night.

Williams (personal) was a full participant in practice Friday and will play Sunday against the Steelers, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Williams has twice run the wrong route in crucial situations this season, resulting in a pair of game-losing Aaron Rodgers interceptions for the 2-4 Jets. After New York traded for Davante Adams on Tuesday, there has been speculation that the team is looking to move Williams, which was intensified by Williams' non-participation in practice Wednesday and Thursday for personal reasons. Nonetheless, coach Jeff Ulbrich said Friday that Williams will be part of the team's game plan Sunday, per Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic. Even if he has a role Sunday, Williams is unlikely to be a significant contributor, with Adams, Garrett Wilson and Allen Lazard ahead of him on the wide receiver depth chart.

Moore (knee) is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Commanders.

Moore logged a trio of limited practices this week. The journeyman wideout is coming off back-to-back games with two catches, and notably, No. 1 receiver Diontae Johnson (ankle/ribs) is also listed as questionable for Sunday. If Moore misses any time, practice squad players Dan Chisena. Praise Olatoke and Deven Thompkins could be candidates to be elevated.

Johnson (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at Washington, David Newton of ESPN.com reports.

Johnson played through an ankle injury the past two weeks but is now listed with hamstring and rib injuries as well. He was held out of practice Wednesday and Thursday before returning to limited participation at the end of the week, which gives the impression he's truly questionable ahead of a 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff Sunday. An absence would leave more playing time for WR Jonathan Mingo while boosting the target-share projections for nearly every other piece of Carolina's offense, including WRs Xavier Legette and Jalen Coker and TE Ja'Tavion Sanders.

Pittman (back) was present but not participating in Friday's practice, according to Nate Atkins of The Indianapolis Star.

Pittman practiced fully Thursday, so it's possible that his non-participation Friday is rest-related rather than indicative of a setback. The Colts' upcoming injury report thus is slated to reveal the Week 7 game statuses of Pittman and fellow WRs Josh Downs (toe) and Alec Pierce (shoulder).

Pierce (shoulder) is participating in Friday's practice, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.

Pierce was added to the injury report as a non-participant Thursday due to a shoulder issue. To see Pierce back on the practice field Friday is encouraging as to his chances of suiting up Sunday versus the Dolphins. Friday's official practice report will reveal whether or not Pierce carries an injury designation approaching Week 7 action.

When asked Friday if he anticipates Cooper playing Sunday against the Titans, coach Sean McDermott said, "We'll see, I mean, I would think so, but I wanna see, and I wanna visit with the coaches again," Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.

The Bills added Cooper in a trade with the Browns on Tuesday, so the wideout has had limited time to familiarize himself with the team's offense. There's a chance that McDermott will confirm Cooper's playing status ahead of Week 7 action, but if that doesn't happen, Buffalo's inactive list for the team's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff will reveal the final outcome on that front.

Johnson (ankle) is preparing to practice Friday morning, Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer reports.

He'll likely be a limited participant after sitting out Wednesday and Thursday, but this nonetheless confirms Johnson is making a bid to play Sunday at Washington. He played through the same ankle injury the last two weeks, including this past Sunday when he had a 6-78-1 line on 10 targets in a 38-20 loss to the Falcons.

Baker (illness) is not participating in practice Friday, Mark Daniels of MassLive.com reports.

Baker joined teammates for the trip to London, but it looks like an illness could impact his availability for Sunday's game against the Jaguars. Of course, given that the rookie fourth-round pick has been a healthy scratch in New England's last three games, he may not be in line to suit up versus Jacksonville even if healthy.
