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.

Pearsall (chest) doesn't have an injury designation and is expected to be activated for Sunday's game against the Chiefs, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

It's good timing for the 49ers with No. 3 receiver Jauan Jennings (hip) out for the first time this season, but they may prefer veteran Chris Conley over Pearsall as the regular replacement. Pearsall was a full practice participant all week and apparently will be activated from the reserve/non-football injury list before Sunday.

Jennings (hip) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Chiefs, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Jennings didn't practice at all this week, leaving the 49ers with Chris Conley, Ronnie Bell and rookies Jacob Cowing and Ricky Pearsall (chest) as the WR choices behind Brandon Aiyuk and Deebo Samuel (wrist). While Pearsall's status as a first-round pick makes him the one with the most long-term fantasy interest, he may not have much of a role after spending the first six weeks of the season on the reserve/non-football injury list due to injuries sustained in a shooting. Conley is the favorite to get the most snaps, although it's far from a sure thing. Jennings' next chance to play is a Week 8 game against the Cowboys on Sunday, Oct. 27.

Samuel (wrist) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Chiefs, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.

One of the toughest wide receivers in the league, Samuel never figured to miss a Super Bowl rematch (2x) with a wrist injury. He even shed his non-contact jersey at Friday's practice, and there could be a bit more weight placed on him and Brandon Aiyuk in the absence of No. 3 receiver Jauan Jennings, who was ruled out Friday with a hip injury.

Palmer (concussion) was a full practice participant Friday.

It's a sign of progress after limited participation Thursday, but he'll still need to clear concussion protocol to play in Monday's game against the Ravens, at which point Palmer likely would be the fourth or fifth WR on Tampa's depth chart.

Baker (illness) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Jaguars, Mark Daniels of MassLive.com reports.

Baker popped up on the Patriots' injury report Friday as a non-participant in practice due to an illness, and his status for New England's Week 7 contest now appears to be in jeopardy. The rookie out of UCF has been a healthy scratch in each of the Patriots' last three games, so even if he's past his illness by Sunday, he may still be inactive.

Evans (hamstring) didn't practice Friday, but he worked with a trainer on a side field, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.

It isn't clear if Evans did any running, as the video clip with the trainer only shows him stretching. Coach Todd Bowles revealed Thursday that Evans has a lingering lower-body injury, which probably explains why his snap share dropped to 54 percent and his route share to 68 percent in a 51-27 win over the Saints this past Sunday. Back-to-back absences from practice have him looking uncertain for Monday's game against Baltimore -- a team that's given up big-time production to perimeter receivers this season.

Wilson (hamstring) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Jets, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

Wilson made his NFL debut in the Steelers' Week 6 win over the Raiders, playing just five of the team's 67 offensive snaps and failing to record a stat. The Michigan product then popped up on Pittsburgh's injury report as a limited participant in practice both Thursday and Friday due to a hamstring issue, putting his Week 7 availability in jeopardy. If Wilson can't play through his hamstring injury Sunday night, expect Scotty Miller to see increased snaps in the Steelers' wide-receiver corps.
