Matthew Golden WR | GB
Packers' Matthew Golden: Falls back to DNP on Friday
Golden (shoulder) didn't practice Friday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
Golden wasn't able to return to the Packers' Week 9 loss to the Panthers due to a shoulder injury, and while he was limited at Thursday's session, his lack of activity one day later is a concerning development ahead of Monday's contest against the Eagles. Saturday's practice report will reveal the game-day designations for all of the Packers' banged-up wide receivers, the others being Christian Watson (knee, LP this week), Dontayvion Wicks (calf, also LP), Malik Heath (hip, added as LP on Friday) and Savion Williams (foot, LP on Friday after a DNP on Thursday).

Cooper Kupp WR | SEA
Seahawks' Cooper Kupp: Looking good after full practice
Kupp (hamstring/heel) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Arizona, but he appears on track to play after upgrading to full practice participation Friday, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.
Kupp missed a Week 9 rout of the Commanders after injuring his hamstring last Thursday, but it seems he was correct when he downplayed the severity, as he's now looking good to play just 10 days after the initial injury. Seattle's wideout depth is depleted, including No. 3 receiver Tory Horton (shin) being listed as doubtful, which means Kupp could get plenty of snaps even with the addition of Rashid Shaheed.

Ricky Pearsall WR | SF
49ers' Ricky Pearsall: Ruled out for Week 10
Pearsall (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Rams, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
He hasn't practiced for more than a month, still limited to side-field work with the training staff. Pearsall will miss a sixth consecutive game, leaving Jauan Jennings and Kendrick Bourne unchallenged as San Francisco's top two wide receivers.

Zay Jones WR | ARI
Cardinals' Zay Jones: Cleared to play this week
Jones (knee) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game at Seattle, Tyler Drake of ArizonaSports.com reports.
He played through the same injury last week, handling a 52 percent snap share without seeing a target in the 27-17 win over Dallas. Jones should be fine to fill his usual role as the No. 3 WR in a TE-centric offense.

Parker Washington WR | JAC
Jaguars' Parker Washington: Could be busy in Thomas' absence
Washington could see additional opportunities Sunday against the Texans, as Brian Thomas (ankle) has been ruled out.
The Jaguars will be without both Thomas and Travis Hunter (knee), with the latter on injured reserve. Washington has drawn at least nine targets three times this season, including each of the past two games. He and Dyami Brown, who cleared concussion protocol Friday, are set to lead Jacksonville's receiving corps along with Tuesday's trade acquisition Jakobi Meyers.

Brian Thomas Jr. WR | JAC
Jaguars' Brian Thomas: Ruled out for Sunday
Thomas (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Texans after not practicing this week.
With Thomas out, newcomer Jakobi Meyers, Parker Washington and Dyami Brown are in line to lead the Jaguars' Week 10 WR corps, with Tim Patrick and Austin Trammell available to mix in. Thomas' next chance to see game action will occur Sunday, Nov. 16 against the Chargers.

Dyami Brown WR | WAS
Jaguars' Dyami Brown: Cleared to return for Week 10
Brown (concussion) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Texans.
Brown has cleared the NFL's five-step concussion protocol and will be available for the Jaguars, who will be playing without Brian Thomas (ankle). Thomas' absence could open up more opportunities for Brown and Parker Washington, especially if trade acquisition Jakobi Meyers isn't quite up to speed yet.

Cooper Kupp WR | SEA
Seahawks' Cooper Kupp: Deemed questionable
Kupp (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Arizona, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.
He got the same designation last week and didn't ended up playing, listed as inactive for a win over Washington just three days after hurting his hamstring in practice. Kupp suggested he could be back as soon as Week 10, and it turns out the Seahawks could really use him even after trading for Rashid Shaheed. Tory Horton (shin) is listed as doubtful, likely joining backups Dareke Young (out - quad) and Jake Bobo (out - calf) on the inactive list. That doesn't mean Kupp will play if he isn't ready, but it does mean he could get a lot of snaps if he's active ahead of the 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff. If Kupp doesn't play, Shaheed and Cody White will be the favorites to join Jaxon Smith-Njigba for regular snaps at wide receiver.

Tory Horton WR | SEA
Seahawks' Tory Horton: Doubtful for Sunday
Horton (groin/shin) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against Arizona, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.
Horton started the week listed as a full participant with a groin injury, but the addition of a shin issue Thursday corresponded with an absence from practice. He's now considered unlikely to play, which improves the chances that new teammate Rashid Shaheed will immediately play a lot of snaps on offense. Depth wideouts Dareke Young (quad) and Jake Bobo (calf) are ruled out for a second straight week, and Cooper Kupp (hamstring) is questionable again (after ultimately being inactive last week). Horton stepped up with two TDs in the 38-14 win over Washington on Sunday night, but between the injuries and the Shaheed trade, Horton isn't looking good to offer much fantasy value this month.

Terry McLaurin WR | WAS
Commanders' Terry McLaurin: Ruled out for Week 10
McLaurin (quadriceps) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Lions, Ben Standig of Big 100 Washington D.C. reports.
McLaurin hasn't practiced since aggravating his quad injury Week 8 in his lone appearance since Week 3. He'll now miss a second straight game, with additional absences potentially ahead beyond that.
