Matthew Golden WR | GB
Packers' Matthew Golden: Added to report, deemed questionable
Golden (hip) was a limited practice participant Friday and is listed as questionable for Sunday night's game at Pittsburgh, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
An end-of-week addition to the injury report suggests Golden hurt his hip during practice. It isn't yet clear at this point if he's in serious danger of sitting out Sunday night, but the Packers might have another deep threat to help fill in if that's the case, with WR Christian Watson (knee, reserve/PUP list) listed as questionable.

Josh Reynolds WR | NYJ
Jets' Josh Reynolds: Questionable after Friday's DNP
Reynolds (hip) didn't practice Friday and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bengals, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
Reynolds practiced without limitations Wednesday and Thursday, but his status for Sunday is in question due to a hip injury, which has bothered him throughout the season. If the veteran wide receiver suits up, he could work as the de facto top wideout in the continued absence of Garrett Wilson (knee). The Jets haven't revealed whether Justin Fields or Tyrod Taylor (knee) will start at quarterback Sunday.

Jaylen Waddle WR | MIA
Dolphins' Jaylen Waddle: Good to go against Falcons
Waddle (hamstring/rest) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Falcons, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Waddle was limited at practice Thursday, but that seemed to be maintenance-related given that he returned to full participation Friday. He'll continue to work as the top option in Miami's passing game Week 8 versus Atlanta, which should earn Waddle significant attention from top Falcons cornerback A.J. Terrell.

A.J. Brown WR | PHI
Eagles' A.J. Brown: Ruled out for Week 8
Brown (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Giants.
Reports earlier this week suggested Brown's hamstring injury wasn't serious, but he never ended up practicing and now will miss the final game before a Week 9 bye. Jahan Dotson and John Metchie figure to take on the vacated snaps at wide receiver, with DeVonta Smith and Dallas Goedert getting sizable boosts in target-share projection.

Scott Miller WR | PIT
Steelers' Scotty Miller: Won't play Sunday
Miller (finger) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Packers, Mike DeFabo of The Athletic reports.
The Bowling Green product downgraded from a limited practice session Thursday to a DNP on Friday, so it's no surprise that he'll be unavailable Sunday night. Miller has played 69 offensive snaps through six games this season, catching one of two targets for nine yards. While he's sidelined in Week 8, Ben Skowronek could get more opportunities as a receiver.

Jalen Nailor WR | MIN
Vikings' Jalen Nailor: No receptions in loss
Nailor did not have a reception on his only target in Thursday's loss at the Chargers.
Nailor played on 34 of the offense's 49 snaps, which was in line with his usual playing time as the No. 3 receiver. However, he didn't factor into the passing game as there were few downfield passes as Carson Wentz had little time to throw (five sacks) amid an injury-plagued offensive line. Nailor is prone to low output games when the offense struggles, considering Justin Jefferson, Jordan Addison and tight end T.J. Hockenson draw the bulk of the targets.

DeAndre Hopkins WR | BAL
Ravens' DeAndre Hopkins: Recovered from illness
Hopkins (illness) practiced without limitations Friday and doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Bears.
Hopkins will be available Sunday, and he could be joined by Lamar Jackson (hamstring), who is listed as questionable but appears to be tracking toward returning after putting in a full practice Friday. Hopkins began his Ravens tenure with a two-game touchdown streak but hasn't recorded more than two receptions in a game this season.

Jerry Jeudy WR | CLE
Browns' Jerry Jeudy: Cleared after limited practice
Jeudy (knee) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Patriots, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.
Jeudy remained limited at practice Friday after a DNP on Wednesday and capped session Thursday, but he evidently showed Cleveland's staff enough to avoid a Week 8 injury designation. He has caught only 22 of 52 targets for 257 yards this season, with both poor quarterback play and Jeudy's own drops contributing to his underwhelming stat line.
-
Stefon Diggs WR | NE
Patriots' Stefon Diggs: Cleared for Sunday
Diggs (chest) doesn't carry an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Browns after practicing fully Friday.
Diggs was limited Wednesday and Thursday as he continues to manage a chest issue, but the wideout's full participation in Friday's session clears the way for him to maintain his key pass-catching role in New England's offense. Through seven games thus far this season, Diggs leads his team in targets (44), catches (39) and receiving yards (456), a pace that keeps him on the fantasy lineup radar Week 8.

DJ Moore WR | CHI
Bears' DJ Moore: Good to go
Moore (hip) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game at Baltimore.
Also listed with a hip injury last week, Moore ended up handling an 87 percent snap share and 93 percent route share in a win over the Saints, catching three of five targets for 43 yards in the process. His fantasy production has been hugely disappointing this year, but there's been no hint of it costing Moore snaps/routes.
