Moore (shoulder) remained a non-participant in Friday's practice for the Bills.

With back-to-back absences, Moore isn't looking great for Sunday's game at the Rams, though he'll still have one more chance Saturday to practice. If he doesn't end up playing, Keon Coleman and Joshua Palmer will be the top candidates to replace Moore's snaps, with slot receiver Khalil Shakir and tight end Dalton Kincaid potentially helping to pick up the slack in terms of target volume.

Adonai Mitchell (finger) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Browns, so Williams should serve as the Jets' WR2 behind Garrett Wilson for a third consecutive week.

It'll be the third game in a row that Mitchell will miss while recovering from a finger injury, and the severity around his health concern is not clear according to Rich Cimini of ESPN.com. Williams has only three catches (on five targets) over his last two games without Mitchell, but the former hauled in two of three targets for 73 yards, including a 58-yard touchdown pass from Geno Smith, in Week 4 against the Bears.

Brown (thigh) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Vikings, Emily Leiker of The Minnesota Star Tribune reports.

Brown was limited by a thigh injury in each of the first two practices of Week 5 prep. Although he's tagged as questionable, his ability to practice in full Friday gives Brown a solid chance at being cleared to play against Minnesota. If the rookie sixth-rounder is ruled out, then Kendre Miller and Jayden Price would likely operate as the Saints' top return options on kickoffs and punts.

Patrick (groin) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Browns.

A full practice participant all week, Patrick could be brought back from injured reserve to help fill in for Adonai Mitchell, who is out for a second straight game with a finger injury. Isaiah Williams filled in as the No. 2 wide receiver last week, with Sterling Shepard called up from the practice squad as the No. 3. If Patrick is activated Friday or Saturday, he could jump into the rotation.

Williams (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bears, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

Williams opened the regular season on IR due to a high-ankle sprain that he suffered late in training camp. He was designated to return from IR on Wednesday and was a limited participant in practice all week, and while the second-year wideout is not yet quite ready to make his 2026 regular-season debut, his next chance to do so is Week 6 against the Cowboys on Sunday, Oct. 18. Williams would be in line for WR3 duties behind Matthew Golden and Christian Watson in his return, given the fact that Jayden Reed (neck, IR) is out for the rest of 2026.

Harris' workload should be larger against the Broncos on Sunday, as Quentin Johnston (chest) has been ruled out and Ladd McConkey (foot, questionable) may not play, Alex Insdorf of BoltBeat.com reports.

Rookie fourth-rounder Brenen Thompson (quadriceps) has also been ruled out alongside Johnston. McConkey faces an uphill battle to play Sunday after sitting out of practice all week, and he may operate under a snap count if he's given the green light to suit up. That puts Harris -- who has seen five targets or more in three of four games this season -- in position to work in an elevated role against a Broncos defense that will be without both starting outside cornerbacks Riley Moss (ribs) and Patrick Surtain (ankle).

Bryant (ankle) was placed on the Broncos' injured reserve Friday.

Because of his placement on IR due to an ankle injury, Bryant will be required to miss at least the next four games. The earliest he can return is Week 9 against the Panthers, but with the Broncos on bye for Week 10, the second-year wide receiver could be held out until Week 11 against the Raiders in late November. Troy Franklin figures to step into the WR3 role behind Courtland Sutton and Jaylen Waddle for as long as Bryant is sidelined.

Young (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Dolphins, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.

A knee injury prevented the rookie fourth-rounder from playing against the Jaguars in Week 4, a game that saw both star wideouts Ja'Marr Chase (concussion) and Tee HIggins (groin) sustain injuries. Chase and Higgins were both full participants in Friday's practice and are also listed as questionable, so if Young is cleared to play against Miami, then he would be in line for a larger workload if one or both of Chase and Higgins cannot suit up.

Bell (knee) does not have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Bengals, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.

Bell has played through a knee issue over the Dolphins' last couple of games, and the rookie third-rounder will do so again Sunday after logging a full practice session Friday. He was unable to haul in any of his three targets during Miami's Week 4 loss to Minnesota, but he could see more targets from Malik Willis on Sunday due to the absence of fellow rookie Caleb Douglas (ankle).

Dell (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Titans.

Dell's 21-day practice window to return from injured reserve opened Wednesday, and the fourth-year wideout logged back-to-back limited practices before not participating in Friday's session. He's in the final stages of his recovery from a severe left knee injury that he sustained in late December of 2024, and while he won't return for Week 5, his next chance to do so is Week 6 against the Jaguars on Sunday, Oct. 18.
