Dotson (personal) wasn't listed on the Commanders' injury report Thursday.

Dotson missed Wednesday's practice due to a personal matter, but he was back one day later without any limitations. He's thus set to take on a Seahawks defense Sunday that has allowed the eighth-most receptions (118) to opposing wide receivers in eight games this season.

Chark (elbow) is listed as inactive Thursday at Chicago, Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer reports.

Chark played through an elbow injury this past Sunday against the Colts, but his 58 percent snap share was a season low, and his five-yard TD connection with quarterback Bryce Young was the lone bright spot for him in a two-catch, nine-yard effort. Chark proceeded to miss every practice this week, resulting in a doubtful designation ahead of an eventual inactive status for Thursday's game. With Chark and Laviska Shenault (ankle) sidelined, Adam Thielen, Jonathan Mingo, Terrace Marshall, Ihmir Smith-Marsette and Mike Strachan are the Panthers' available wide receivers in Week 10.

Lazard (knee) remained a limited participant at practice Thursday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Lazard continues to manage a knee issue that he played through in Monday's loss to the Chargers, and he'll presumably need to practice fully Friday in order to avoid carrying an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Raiders. While operating as the Jets' No. 2 wide receiver, Lazard -- who has yet to top three catches in a game this season -- has compiled a 19-273-1 receiving line on 35 targets through eight contests.

Douglas (ankle) remained a limited participant at practice Thursday.

Douglas was also limited Wednesday, so unless he's listed as a full participant Friday, chances are the rookie receiver will approach Sunday's game against the Colts with an injury designation. If Douglas is available this weekend, he'll continue to be a key target in a New England receiving corps that will be without both Kendrick Bourne (knee) and DeVante Parker (concussion) .

Wilson (shoulder) was limited at Thursday's practice, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

After a week in which he didn't practice before the Cardinals made him inactive this past Sunday in Cleveland, Wilson has consecutive capped sessions in his back pocket to kick off Week 10 prep. Friday's injury report will reveal whether or not he enters the weekend with an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Falcons. Ultimately, if he's able to suit up this weekend, Wilson likely will be working with quarterback Kyler Murray, who is poised to make his return from last year's torn ACL.

Bateman was a limited participant at practice Thursday due to a back injury.

Bateman was a full participant Wednesday, so the wideout may have tweaked his back at some point during Thursday's practice. Friday's injury report will reveal whether Bateman heads into Sunday's game against the Browns with an injury designation. If Bateman is out this weekend, added snaps would be available for Nelson Agholor and Devin Duvernay in a Baltimore wideout group featuring Zay Flowers and Odell Beckham.

Woods (foot) was limited in Thursday's practice.

It's an upgrade for Woods after he was absent Wednesday. The veteran hasn't played since Week 6, but the limited practice Thursday puts him on the right track for a possible return this Sunday against the Bengals. Especially with Nico Collins now battling a calf injury, the Texans could need Woods even more.

Beckham (rest/knee) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.

Beckham sat out the Ravens' first Week 9 practice Wednesday, but his ability to participate fully one day later suggests his absence was more for rest purposes than due to the knee injury. He shouldn't face any limitations Sunday against the Browns and will be looking to build on the season-best stat line he delivered Week 9, when he recorded five receptions for 56 yards and a touchdown on seven targets in a 37-3 win over Seattle.

Osborn (concussion) was limited at practice Thursday.

Osborn endured a helmet-to-helmet hit this past Sunday in Atlanta that sent him into the concussion protocol, which didn't allow him to log any on-field work Wednesday. One day later, though, he made his way back to the practice field and logged some reps, per Ben Goessling of the Minneapolis Star Tribune. Osborn likely has a few more phases to pass through to gain clearance to play again, but he at least is on a path to do so. Friday's injury report could be telling for his potential to suit up Sunday versus the Saints.

Higgins (hamstring) is expected to miss Sunday's game against the Texans, sources tell Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.

Rapoport suggests that Higgins -- who didn't practice Thursday -- will be evaluated on a week-to-week basis moving forward. Friday's injury report will confirm whether Higgins is officially ruled out for the Week 10 game or if he's listed as doubtful or questionable, but assuming the wideout doesn't ultimately suit up Sunday, Trenton Irwin and Andrei Iosivas would be in store for added snaps.
