Matthew Golden WR | GB
Packers' Matthew Golden: 'Fighting' to play Week 10
Head coach Matt LaFleur told reporters Saturday that Golden is considered "day-to-day" due to a shoulder injury, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.
"It's one of these deals where [Golden] is fighting to play. We'll see how he's feeling today whether he goes out and practices," LaFleur relayed Saturday. Golden sustained a shoulder injury during the Packers' Week 9 loss to the Panthers, which limited his practice participation Thursday before he sat out of Friday's session. The Packers are dealing with several injuries at wide receiver, and Saturday's practice report will indicate the game-day designations for Golden, Christian Watson (knee), Dontayvion Wicks (calf), Savion Williams (foot) and Malik Heath (hip).

Savion Williams WR | GB
Packers' Savion Williams: Back at practice Friday
Williams (foot) was a limited participant at practice Friday.
Williams missed practice Thursday with a foot injury, so his activity Friday represents a step in the right direction ahead of Monday's game versus the Eagles. Even so, he'll likely have to practice in full Saturday to avoid getting tagged with an injury designation when Green Bay publishes its last practice report of the week.

Malik Heath WR | ATL
Packers' Malik Heath: Tending to hip issue
Heath (hip) was a limited participant at practice Friday.
Heath was a full participant at practice Thursday, so it's not immediately obvious when he suffered the hip injury. Either way, he'll now probably need to practice in full Saturday to avoid being given an injury designation on Green Bay's final practice report of the week.

Jahdae Walker WR | CHI
Bears' Jahdae Walker: Won't suit up vs. Giants
Walker (concussion) is officially listed as out for Sunday's game versus the Giants.
Walker was a fresh addition to Chicago's injury report Friday, so he presumably suffered a concussion during practice. He has played the vast majority of his snaps on special teams so far this season, so the Bears will have to try to find a way to replace his production in that phase in Week 10.

Dareke Young WR | LV
Seahawks' Dareke Young: Ruled out
Young (quadriceps) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.
The kick returner and wide receiver will miss a second consecutive week due to injury. Young was unable to practice in any capacity this week, so George Holani will likely be returning kicks again against the Cardinals. The Seahawks new trade acquisition Rashid Shaheed may also get a share of kick return action, with Shaheed being listed as the lead punt returner for the team.

Jake Bobo WR | SEA
Seahawks' Jake Bobo: Ruled out
Bobo (calf) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.
Bobo will miss a second consecutive game with a calf injury he sustained in practice prior to the Week 9 contest against the Commanders. The 27-year-old wide receiver did not practice in any capacity this week. With fellow wide receivers Dareke Young (quadriceps) out, Tory Horton (groin) doubtful and Cooper Kupp (hamstring) questionable, the Seahawks will likely elevate Cody White from the practice squad again.

KeAndre Lambert-Smith WR | LAC
Chargers' KeAndre Lambert-Smith: Questionable for Sunday
Lambert-Smith (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Steelers, Eric Smith of the Chargers' official site reports.
Lambert-Smith appeared on the injury report Thursday with a hamstring issue, and he managed to log only limited participation in both Thursday's and Friday's practices. The rookie fifth-rounder has logged only four targets, resulting in one reception for one yard, through his first six career games. If the wide receiver is unable to go Sunday, Derius Davis may be in line to receive a few offensive snaps.

Dontayvion Wicks WR | PHI
Packers' Dontayvion Wicks: Remains limited at practice
Wicks (calf) practiced in a limited capacity Friday.
After missing the last two games without practicing in advance of both, Wicks now has logged back-to-back capped sessions as he seeks his first game action since he tweaked his calf during a Week 7 win at Arizona. Saturday's injury report will reveal his odds to suit up Monday against the Eagles along with the Packers' other banged-up WRs: Matthew Golden (shoulder, DNP on Friday after LP on Thursday), Christian Watson (knee, LP both days), Malik Heath (hip, added as LP on Friday) and Savion Williams (foot, LP on Friday after DNP on Thursday).

Scott Miller WR | PIT
Steelers' Scotty Miller: Missing third straight game
Miller (finger) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Chargers, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.
Miller continues to recover from a procedure to repair a broken finger and will miss a third straight game as a result. He hasn't been able to practice since the surgery, and his next opportunity to play is Week 11 against the Bengals on Sunday, Nov. 16.
-
Christian Watson WR | GB
Packers' Christian Watson: Limited again Friday
Watson (knee) was a limited practice participant Friday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
Watson hasn't been able to log a full practice since the Packers activated him from the reserve/PUP list prior to Week 8, but his snap shares in two appearances to date (56 percent in Week 8, 66 percent in Week 9) imply that he's nearly back to 100 percent. He's also been productive, gathering in six of eight targets for 143 yards. All of Watson, Dontayvion Wicks (calf), Malik Heath (hip) and Savion Williams (foot) were limited Friday, while Matthew Golden (shoulder) fell back to a DNP from Thursday's limited showing, so Saturday's injury report will reveal who among the quintet has a chance to suit up Monday versus the Eagles.
