Reed (calf) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game in Tennessee, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

Reed was held out of drills Wednesday due to the calf injury that showed up on last Friday's practice report, but after capping this week with back-to-back limited sessions, he's good to go for Week 3. The Packers may have Jordan Love (knee) back under center Sunday, which would be a boon to Reed and the rest of the receiving corps. Eith Malik Willis at quarterback this past Sunday against the Colts, Reed caught two passes (on two targets) for nine yards and took two carries for 37 yards.

Brown (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game at New Orleans, Zach Berman of The Athletic reports.

Brown hasn't practiced since injuring his hamstring last Friday and now is confirmed to be out for a second straight game. Fellow Eagles wideouts Jahan Dotson and Britain Covey both saw their snap shares rise from Week 1 to Week 2, but TE Dallas Goedert is the safest bet for targets and yards after star wideout DeVonta Smith. It's unclear at this point if Brown has a realistic chance to return for Week 4 at Tampa Bay on Sunday, Sept. 29.

Lamb (ankle) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against Baltimore, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

Lamb rested Wednesday before upgrading to a limited practice Thursday and full participation Friday. He should be fine for his usual role as a near every-down player and target hog this Sunday against a Ravens defense that has started the season slow under new coordinator Zach Orr.

Commanders offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury said Friday that he wants to "get [McLaurin] more involved" in the offense, JP Finlay of NBC Sports Washington reports.

McLaurin's 22.6 percent target share through two weeks is right in his normal range, but four of the 12 looks have come behind the line of scrimmage and another four within 10 yards of the line, with those eight passes yielding seven catches for 27 yards. The underlying problem is QB Jayden Daniels averaging 26.5 pass attempts per game at a league-low 5.3 aDOT, sending 35.8 percent of his throws behind the line of scrimmage and just 24.6 percent 10 or more yards downfield. The split probably won't be that drastic all season, but it does reflect a lot of the complaints about Kingsbury's offenses in Arizona from 2019 to 2022. Next up for McLaurin and the Commanders is a Week 3 game at Cincinnati on Monday.

Collins (hip/foot) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's contest in Minnesota.

Collins was held out of drills Wednesday due to hip and foot injuries, but he returned as a limited participant one day later before capping Week 3 prep with a full session Friday. He's thus set to build upon an NFL-leading 252 receiving yards through two games, facing a Vikings defense that ranks 16th in the league in terms of YPT (7.5) to opposing wide receivers this season.

Palmer (elbow/calf) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game in Pittsburgh.

Palmer was held out of practice Wednesday and Thursday due to elbow and calf injuries, but neither concern is enough to rule him out for Week 3 action. In the end, his availability will be confirmed, one way or another, about 90 minutes before Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff. Quentin Johnston and Ladd McConkey would stand to benefit if Palmer is inhibited or sidelined this weekend, with Derius Davis, Simi Fehoko and Brenden Rice the other available wide receivers on the Chargers' active roster.

Kupp (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against San Francisco, Gary Klein of the Los Angeles Times reports.

It was only a matter of time, as the conversation surrounding Kupp has been more about injured reserve than his Week 3 availability. The Rams can only bring eight players back from IR all season and have six or seven return candidates on the list already, so they may keep Kupp on the active roster even if he's expected to miss four or more games. The team hasn't specifically commented on that aspect, but coach Sean McVay did say Monday that Kupp is likely out for an "extended period of time."

Jefferson (quadriceps) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against Houston, Ben Goessling of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

As promised by the man himself, Jefferson will be out there Sunday as the Vikings try for a surprising 3-0 start. Fellow wideout Jordan Addison (ankle) has been ruled out, but coach Kevin O'Connell told Goessling on Friday that Addison should have a good chance to return Week 4 against Green Bay.

Addison (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Houston, Dane Mizutani of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

Addison did some work on a side field this week, but he hasn't actually practiced since suffering an ankle sprain Week 1 against the Giants. His absence for a second straight game leaves Jalen Nailor and Brandon Powell as the top wide receivers alongside Justin Jefferson, who has avoided an injury designation after hurting his quadriceps last week. Coach Kevin O'Connell told Ben Goessling of the Minneapolis Star Tribune on Friday that Addison is "in a good place" and has a good chance to return Week 4 against Green Bay.

Odunze (knee) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Colts, Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com reports.

Odunze upgraded to full practice participation Friday after being limited the previous two days. He played 66 of Chicago's 70 snaps on offense in a Week 2 loss at Houston despite suffering an MCL sprain the week before in a win over Tennessee. Keenan Allen, meanwhile, is out for a second straight game with a heel injury.
