Skowronek (Achilles) is absent from the Rams' final injury report ahead of Sunday's contest with the Cardinals, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.

Skowronek practiced in full Friday after back-to-back limited sessions to kick off the week. As a result, look for him to take on his usual role providing depth at receiver while primarily contributing on special teams.

Tucker (knee) is good to go for Sunday's game against the Patriots, Rachel Gossen of the Raiders' official website reports.

Tucker logged consecutive limited practices to kick off the week after injuring his knee in Monday's 17-13 victory over the Packers. However, he put in a full day's work Friday and was held off the team's final injury report as a result. Barring any setbacks, he is set to provide depth at receiver while primarily contributing on special teams.

The Bears placed St. Brown (hamstring) on injured reserve Friday.

St. Brown was inactive for the Bears' first three games of the season before stepping in as the team's No. 3 wideout beginning Week 4, when Chase Claypool was a healthy scratch and then traded to Miami the following week. The 27-year-old played 65 total snaps on offense in the Bears' last two games, but he wasn't especially involved in the passing game, drawing just two targets. With St. Brown now set to miss at least the next four games while recovering from the hamstring injury, rookie Tyler Scott will likely be next in line to get a look as the No. 3 option behind DJ Moore and Darnell Mooney.

Adams (shoulder) practiced fully Friday and doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Patriots, Rachel Gossen of the Raiders' official site reports.

Listed as questionable ahead of this past Monday's game against Green Bay, Adams ultimately suited up in the Raiders' 17-13 win, playing 94 percent of the snaps on offense while finishing with four catches for 45 yards on four targets. Despite the quicker turnaround for the Week 6 game, Adams won't carry an injury designation into the contest after he apparently came out of Monday's win no worse for the wear. After a subpar showing against Green Bay, Adams could bounce back versus a depleted Patriots secondary that currently has four cornerbacks on injured reserve, including impressive rookie first-round pick Christian Gonzalez (shoulder).

Turpin (ankle) returned to full practice participation Friday, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

Turpin didn't practice Thursday due to an ankle injury, but he was back in there without limitations Friday. Dallas won't release its injury report for Monday's matchup with the Chargers until Saturday, but barring a setback, Turpin will likely avoid an injury designation, allowing him to fill his usual role as a return man and part-time offensive player.

Addison (ankle) was a full participant in Friday's practice and doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Bears.

Addison's practice reps were managed Wednesday and Thursday, but his full session Friday clears the way for him to enter the Vikings' Week 6 matchup with no restrictions. The rookie first-round pick had already played north of 70 percent of the snaps on offense in three of the team's first five games, but his playing time and target volume should tick up further Sunday after star wideout Justin Jefferson (hamstring) was placed on injured reserve earlier this week. With Jefferson set to miss at least the next four games, the Vikings will likely turn to the likes of Addison, fellow wideouts K.J. Osborn and Brandon Powell and tight end T.J. Hockenson to pick up the slack in the passing attack.

Watson hasn't been ruled out for Kansas City's Week 7 game against the Chargers after an MRI revealed no structural damage, but his dislocated elbow could still keep him out for a few weeks, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN reports.

Watson dislocated his elbow in Thursday's 19-8 win over the Broncos. The MRI revealed positive news for the wide receiver, but Watson may still miss some game action. His participation level in practice when the Chiefs begin preparing to face the Chargers will provide clarity regarding Watson's chances of suiting up Week 7.

Gipson (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Eagles, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Gipson was limited by the ankle injury Friday after previously avoiding the injury report. If the rookie return man can't go, veteran receiver Mecole Hardman could see his role grow on special teams, and possibly on offense as well.

Brown (illness) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Rams.

Brown missed practice Wednesday before logging limited sessions Thursday and Friday. He has a couple more days to get healthy before the 4:25 ET kickoff this Sunday, with history suggesting he's more likely to play than not.

Dell (concussion) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Saints after being deemed a limited practice participant Friday.

Though Dell wasn't on the field for the media-access portion of Friday's practice, he ended up going down as a limited participant on the Texans' final Week 6 injury report. Despite not having practiced fully all week, Dell may still have a chance at being available Sunday, though he'll first need to gain clearance from an independent neurologist before being removed from the NFL's five-step concussion protocol. If, however, Dell ends up unavailable versus New Orleans, John Metchie and Xavier Hutchinson would likely see added snaps at receiver for Houston.
