Watson (hamstring) returned to practice Friday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Green Bay got Watson and Allen Lazard (ankle) back from their respective injuries, but not Sammy Watkins (hamstring) or Randall Cobb (illness). If Watkins and Cobb are unable to play Sunday against the Buccaneers, Watson and fellow rookie Romeo Doubs would both be in line for prominent roles alongside Lazard.

Lazard (ankle) returned to practice Friday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

As did Christian Watson (hamstring), which gives both wideouts a chance to play Sunday against the Buccaneers. Meanwhile, Sammy Watkins (hamstring) and Randall Cobb (illness) were not spotted at practice Friday, with the Packers' looming Week 3 injury report likely to add some clarity with regard to the composition of the team's wide receiver corps this weekend.

Cobb (illness) remained sidelined at Friday's practice, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Cobb missed all three of Green Bay's practices in preparation for Sunday's matchup with Tampa Bay. The veteran slot receiver knows the playbook inside and out, so the lack of practice reps wouldn't necessarily be a major hindrance, but it's hard to feel confident about Cobb's chances of suiting up at this point.

Coach Kliff Kingsbury relayed Friday that Moore (hamstring) will be out for Sunday's game against the Rams, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Moore, who hasn't practiced since hurting his hamstring Sept. 8, thus is slated to miss a third straight game to begin the season. In his continued absence, Marquise Brown, A.J. Green and Greg Dortch are on track to lead the Cardinals' wide receiver corps Sunday versus Los Angeles. Per Tyler Drake of ArizonaSports.com, when asked when Moore might return to action, Kingsbury replied, "I'm hoping within the next two weeks he'll play. If not next week, I would guarantee the game after."

Godwin (hamstring) missed another practice Friday and appears unlikely to play Sunday against the Packers, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.

Godwin is on track for a second straight absence, while teammate Julio Jones (knee) is expected to be a game-time decision after missing last week. Russell Gage figures to continue playing through a hamstring injury and taking most of the slot snaps, with Scotty Miller and Breshad Perriman (knee) likely getting more work on the perimeter in the presumed absence of both Godwin and Mike Evans (suspension).

Bateman (undisclosed) wasn't spotted during the media-access portion of Friday's practice, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

Bateman practiced fully Wednesday and Thursday, so his initial absence from the session makes his status worth tracking ahead of Sunday's game against the Patriots. Added clarity on that front should arrive no later than the release of the Ravens' final Week 3 injury report later Friday.

Coach Mike McDaniel said Friday that a final decision on Wilson (ribs) for Week 3 will take "up until game time," Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.

Wilson has worn a non-contact jersey at practices this week and will have limitations on his reps during Friday's session. The Dolphins' No. 3 wideout appears to be trending toward a questionable tag for Sunday's game against the Bills, but he at least has a chance to play. Erik Ezukanma and Trent Sherfield could see increased work behind Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle if Wilson ends up missing time.

Washington (foot) was spotted doing on-field work Thursday, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.

The wide receiver has yet to make his Cowboys debut after suffering a foot fracture in early August, but Washington hasn't had any setbacks in his rehab. He'll be eligible to come off IR ahead of a Week 5 tilt with the Rams, but it's not yet clear if he'll be ready to suit up by then. It's also not clear what the former Steeler's role in the Dallas offense will be. CeeDee Lamb remains the team's No. 1 receiver, and Michael Gallup (knee) could rejoin the lineup as soon as Monday against the Giants, potentially leaving Washington to compete for the No. 3 spot with Noah Brown.

Godwin (hamstring) is not participating in Friday's practice, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.

Godwin appears to be trending toward a second straight absence, though Tampa Bay's final injury report of the week will be released later Friday and provide the wideout with an official game designation. With Mike Evans (suspension) unavailable Sunday versus the Packers and Julio Jones (knee) working on the side Friday, Tampa Bay's receiving corps again could be severely depleted Week 3. Russell Gage (hamstring) and Breshad Perriman (knee) also were limited Thursday.

Davis (knee) will practice in full Friday, Brian Costello of the New York Post reports.

Coach Robert Saleh said Davis is good to go for Sunday's game against the Bengals, which comes after the wideout handled limited activity in Thursday's practice. Per Saleh, Davis had his reps capped Thursday to avoid wet conditions after he experienced a minor knee issue Wednesday, according to Andy Vasquez of NJ Advance Media. Davis has recorded eight catches for 160 yards and one touchdown on 14 targets through two contests, and he'll have another chance to work with Joe Flacco under center this weekend.
