Brown (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at Tampa Bay.

Brown returned to practice Friday as a limited participant, which could set up a game-time decision ahead of the 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff Sunday. Fellow Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith (concussion) has been ruled out after missing practice all week, but he'll have a good chance to avoid multiple absences thanks to a Week 5 bye. It's possible the upcoming bye influences the team's approach to Brown, knowing he'll have two weeks to continue his recovery before the next game if he doesn't play this Sunday.

Coach Antonio Pierce relayed Friday that Adams (hamstring) will be out for Sunday's game against the Browns, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.

Adams was added to the Raiders' injury report Thursday after being limited by a hamstring issue, and he'll sit this one out and target a potential return to action Sunday, Oct. 6 against the Broncos. In Adams' absence, Jakobi Meyers and Tre Tucker will lead the team's Week 4 WR corps, with DJ Turner, Tyreik McAllister and Ramel Keyton also on hand.

Addison (ankle) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game at Green Bay, Ben Goessling of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

Addison will be active for the first time since suffering an ankle sprain in the third quarter of a Week 1 win over the Giants. His return will either push Jalen Nailor out of the regular rotation or bump Nailor down to the No. 3 role, with the latter scenario entailing a demotion for Brandon Powell. Either way, Minnesota's offense figures to be highly concentrated toward Addison, Justin Jefferson and RB Aaron Jones.

Odunze (hip) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Rams.

Odunze was a full practice participant Friday, after the Bears added him to their injury report Thursday as a limited participant. He's emerged as the top downfield target in Chicago -- coming off a 6-112-1 receiving line and league-high 235 air yards Week 3 against the Colts -- but Odunze's volume projection will get a modest bump downward if Keenan Allen (questionable, hip) ends up playing Sunday after progressing to full practice participation Friday.

Allen (heel) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Rams after upgrading to full practice participation Friday.

Players that finish the week as full participants almost always play, but Allen's case remains worth monitoring given that his heel problems date back to last season and may be a lingering theme this year. He caught four of 11 targets for 29 yards in a Week 1 win over the Titans before aggravating his injury in the fourth quarter and missing the next two games. If Allen avoids the inactive list ahead of Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff, his presence will lower volume projections for all of Chicago's other pass catchers while knocking DeAndre Carter out of his spot in three-wide sets. Fellow wideout Rome Odunze has avoided a designation on the final injury report after a hip issue limited his practice participation Thursday.

Wilson (ankle) didn't practice Friday and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at Atlanta, Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football reports.

Wilson played through an abdominal injury last week but now is in danger of missing a game due to an ankle issue. He was a full participant Wednesday before downgrading to limited Thursday and absent Friday. Rookies Mason Tipton and Bub Means are the top candidates to fill in as the No. 3 receiver if Wilson ends up inactive this Sunday.

McMillan injured his hamstring during Friday's practice, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Coach Todd Bowles referred to the injury as a "tweak", but McMIllan nonetheless figures to be added to the injury report ahead of Sunday's game against the Eagles. Trey Palmer likely will fill in as the No. 3 WR if McMillan is inactive or limited.

Johnson (groin) was limited in Friday's practice and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bengals, David Newton of ESPN.com reports.

Johnson's absence from practice Thursday was downplayed, with Steve Reed of the Associated Press suggesting it was a precautionary measure due to a wet field. That may be true, but fantasy managers will need to monitor the situation ahead of Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff after Johnson was limited in his return to practice and given an injury designation for the game. Panthers coach Dave Canales said he's optimistic about Johnson's chance of playing, as the wide receiver looked fast during practice Friday, per Reed.

Collins (hamstring) was present for practice Friday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Collins was added to the Texans' Week 4 injury report after being limited Thursday, but his presence for Friday's practice is a positive sign in terms of his availability for Sunday's game against the Jaguars. The team's upcoming injury report will reveal whether Collins heads into the weekend with an injury designation or fully cleared to face Jacksonville.

Smith (concussion) isn't practicing Friday, Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

A third consecutive missed practice makes Smith unlikely to play this Sunday at Tampa Bay. He entered concussion protocol after taking a hard hit in the Week 3 win over New Orleans.
