Young (groin) looks on track to be activated from injured reserve ahead of Sunday's game against Washington, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.

Young logged consecutive full practices to close out the week. As a result, he looks on pace to make his season debut Sunday, assuming he avoids any setbacks prior to kickoff. Still, confirmation on that decision will likely be made Saturday via a Seattle roster move.

Strachan reverted to the Panthers' practice squad Friday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Strachan was elevated from Carolina's practice squad prior to Thursday's loss to the Bears. It was his first time suiting up this season. The pass catcher saw the field for 12 offensive snaps and logged one reception for 45 yards on two targets. He could be a candidate to be called up again in Week 11.

Woods (foot) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bengals after returning to a full practice Friday.

Per Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston, Woods -- who last suited up in Week 6 -- is expected to be back in action this weekend, with practice having gone well. Assuming Woods is indeed available for Sunday's 1:00 ET kickoff, he could be busy in his return to the lineup, with fellow WR Nico Collins (calf) ruled out versus Cincinnati.

Bateman (back) was a full practice participant Friday and doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against Cleveland.

A mid-week addition to the injury report after the back issue rendered him a limited participant Thursday, Bateman took every rep Friday to clear up any concern about his availability for Sunday. While appearing in eight of the Ravens' nine games to date, Bateman has held a consistent yet unexciting role in the team's passing attack. He's drawn between two and five targets in all eight of his outings, catching 17 passes for 180 yards and no touchdowns.

Collins (calf) is listed as out for Sunday's game against the Bengals.

Collins initially appeared to be on a path to play against the Bengals after he opened Week 10 prep as a limited participant Wednesday, but after regressing to no participation Thursday and Friday, he'll ultimately sit out Sunday for the first time all season. On a positive note for the Texans, Robert Woods (foot) is listed as questionable but is trending toward putting an end to his two-game absence after practicing fully Friday, and he could end up filling a regular role in three-receiver sets alongside Tank Dell and Noah Brown while Collins is sidelined this weekend.

Peoples-Jones (ribs) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Chargers.

The Lions traded for Peoples-Jones before their Week 9 bye and might not have him available for the first game after it. He managed limited practice participation Wednesday through Friday, so it won't be a surprise if he ends up active ahead of the 4:05 ET p.m. kickoff this Sunday, though a featured role in Detroit's passing game is unlikely.

Jones (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the 49ers.

Jones -- who last played Week 5 -- practiced in a limited fashion this week, but now that the wideout has been ruled out, he'll target a potential return to action Nov. 19 against the Titans. In his continued absence, Tim Jones and Jamal Agnew are in line to see added Week 10 snaps behind Calvin Ridley and Christian Kirk.

Metcalf (hip) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against Washington, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.

Metcalf was held out of practice Thursday after a full session Wednesday, but the fact that he doesn't have a designation for Week 10 suggests his absence a day ago was a matter of caution or rest rather than being the result of a setback. He played more than three-fourths of Seattle's snaps on offense the past two weeks, showing no obvious workload limitations after missing Week 7 with a hip injury. The production has been less impressive, amounting to six catches for 117 yards on 18 targets the past two weeks and averages of 4.0 catches and 64.9 yards for the season.

Lazard (knee) has no injury designation and is slated to play Sunday against the Raiders, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Lazard was limited Wednesday and Thursday before getting in a full practice Friday. Catching passes from Zach Wilson, Lazard has cleared 50 yards in a game just once all season and has only one touchdown. He's not a recommended fantasy bet for Week 10.

Douglas (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Colts after practicing in a limited fashion this week.

Douglas is one of nine players listed by the Patriots as questionable for the contest, but fortunately for those inclined to use the 2023 sixth-rounder in Week 10 fantasy lineups, the team kicks off at 9:30 a.m. ET on Sunday. As long as Douglas is available this weekend, he'll remain a key target in a WR corps that will be without both Kendrick Bourne (knee, IR) and DeVante Parker (concussion). In New England's loss to the Commanders in Week 9, Douglas caught five of his seven targets for a team-high 55 yards.
