  • Buccaneers' Jalen McMillan: Listed as doubtful for Sunday

    McMillan (hamstring) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Eagles, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

    McMillan was injured in Friday's practice, which is never a good sign for a player's availability two days later. If McMillan can't play Sunday -- which seems likely -- look for Trey Palmer to reclaim WR3 duties in Tampa Bay against Philadelphia. Mike Evans and Chris Godwin should continue to command the lion's share of targets from Baker Mayfield.

  • Jayden Reed WR | GB

    Packers' Jayden Reed: Cleared to face Minnesota

    Reed (calf/quad) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Vikings.

    Reed was a full practice participant Friday after limited sessions the previous two days. The big question is whether QB Jordan Love (questionable, MCL) will be active ahead of the 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff, which is a particularly crucial point for Reed's fantasy value because the Green Bay offense has been extremely run-heavy with Malik Willis under center.

  • Nico Collins WR | HOU

    Texans' Nico Collins: Clear for Week 4

    Collins (hamstring) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game versus the Jaguars.

    The Texans tacked on Collins to their Week 4 practice report Thursday as limited due to a hamstring injury, which occasionally is a worrisome sign for upcoming availability. The fourth-year wide receiver put any questions about his status to rest earlier Friday, telling Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston, "Oh, absolutely," when asked about his ability to play Sunday. Collins also logged a full practice Friday, so he'll look to build upon his NFL-leading 338 receiving yards this weekend against a Jacksonville defense that has given up 8.95 YPT this season (10th worst in the league).

  • Chris Olave WR | NO

    Saints' Chris Olave: Injured during Friday's practice

    Olave suffered a hamstring injury during Friday's practice, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.

    Details on the severity aren't yet available, but even a relatively minor injury could be a big deal just two days before the Saints face the Falcons. New Orleans is already down two starting offensive linemen and star linebacker Demario Davis (hamstring).

  • DeVonta Smith WR | PHI

    Eagles' DeVonta Smith: Ruled out for Week 4

    Smith (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game at Tampa Bay.

    Smith took a hard hit in the fourth quarter of last week's win over the Saints and hasn't practiced since. He has a good chance to avoid multiple game absences, as the Eagles are on bye Week 5 before hosting the Browns in Week 6 (Sunday, Oct. 13).

  • A.J. Brown WR | NE

    Eagles' A.J. Brown: Questionable after practicing

    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.

  • Davante Adams WR | LAR

    Raiders' Davante Adams: Won't play 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.

  • Jordan Addison WR | MIN

    Vikings' Jordan Addison: Cleared for Week 4 return

    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.

  • Rome Odunze WR | CHI

    Bears' Rome Odunze: Cleared to face Rams

    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.

  • Keenan Allen WR | IND

    Bears' Keenan Allen: Listed as questionable after FP

    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.
