Cooper (hamstring) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Falcons, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Cooper was held to two catches for 37 yards in an ugly loss to Denver last week, but he's mostly been effective while playing through the hamstring injury, including an 8-122-1 receiving line against the Vikings in Week 8. He gets a friendly matchup with the Falcons this Sunday, though Atlanta does have A.J. Terrell playing at a high level at the left cornerback spot. Cooper moves all over the formation, with a little more than one-third of his snaps this season coming at the right perimeter spot where he'd line up directly across from Terrell.

Patrick (knee) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Eagles, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

The Broncos have taken identical approaches with Patrick and tight end Albert Okwuegbunam, both of whom are dealing with knee injuries. Neither practiced Wednesday, but both the wide receiver and tight end have logged consecutive limited sessions since. If he suits up, Patrick will work as the Broncos' No. 3 receiver behind Jerry Jeudy and Courtland Sutton

Davis (hip) is listed as questionable but expected to play Sunday against the Bills, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Davis logged a full practice Friday after limited sessions Wednesday and Thursday, throwing further supporting evidence behind coach Robert Saleh's assertion that the Jets' top wide receiver is expected to make his return after a two-game absence. After being the only Jets wide receiver to find consistent success with rookie Zach Wilson under center, Davis will be catching passes from Mike White against the Bills, if the wideout indeed suits up.

Claypool (toe) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Lions, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.

Claypool suffered the toe injury in Monday's win over the Bears, and while an MRI alleviated initial fears that it could be season ending, he'll still sit out against Detroit. With Claypool sidelined, James Washington and Ray-Ray McCloud will take on larger roles behind No. 1 wide receiver Diontae Johnson. Luckily for the Steelers, they should have no trouble mitigating the impact of Claypool's absence by running their offense through workhorse running back Najee Harris against a Lions defense that has allowed 16 scrimmage touchdowns to running backs -- tied with the Jets for the most in the league.

Moore (concussion) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Carolina, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

The rookie returned to practice Friday as a limited participant, as did starting QB Kyler Murray, who missed Week 9 with an ankle sprain. Moore played a season-high 81 percent of offensive snaps with both DeAndre Hopkins (hamstring) and A.J. Green (illness) inactive for the Cardinals' Week 9 win over the 49ers, but the rookie managed just five catches for 25 yards and suffered a concussion along the way. Moore's return to practice Friday puts him on track to play, though he'll still need clearance Friday or Saturday from an independent neurologist. Murray and Hopkins, on the other hand, may be true game-time decisions ahead of the 4:05 ET kickoff on Sunday. Moore's availability is more likely to be determined the day before the game.

Arcega-Whiteside (ankle) doesn't have an injury designation heading into Sunday's contest against the Broncos.

Arcega-Whiteside missed one game due to the ankle injury, but he will return to action in Week 10. The 2019 second-round wideout has played less than 10 offensive snaps in every game since Week 2 and hasn't caught a single pass all season.

Hopkins (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Carolina, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

He was held out of practice all week but still will be given the chance to suit up in a game-time decision. Hopkins seems less likely to play than both QB Kyler Murray (ankle) and WR Rondale Moore (concussion), both of whom are also being treated as game-day calls ahead of Sunday's 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff. A.J. Green (illness) has been cleared to play.

Beasley (ribs) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's road game versus the Jets.

Beasley played through his rib injury last Sunday in Jacksonville after logging just one limited session, so managing a pair this week Thursday and Friday was enough for the Bills to clear him for game action. He's thus available to face a Jets defense that has yielded 8.5 yards per target (11th most in the NFL) to wide receivers this season.

Coach Kliff Kingsbury expects Hopkins (hamstring) to be a game-time decision heading into Sunday's matchup with the Panthers, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

It doesn't exactly look promising for Hopkins, who missed another practice Friday while starting QB Kyler Murray (ankle) rejoined his teammates. Still, the Cardinals likely will list Hopkins as 'questionable' and give him another 48 hours to make progress with the hamstring before a 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff Sunday. Kingsbury said Murray and WR Rondale Moore (concussion) also are considered game-day decisions this week.

Sims (hamstring) will play in Sunday's game against Tampa Bay, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.

Sims is cleared to play while Curtis Samuel (groin) is ruled out and Dyami Brown (knee) listed as questionable, but even if the depth chart is thinned out, Sims may not be ahead of DeAndre Carter at this point. Carter had his best game of the season right before the Week 9 bye, catching three of six targets for 51 yards and a touchdown in the 17-10 loss to Denver. Sims saw two targets and only 15 snaps in the same game, though it was his first week back in the lineup after missing three in a row with the hamstring injury. In any case, playing time hasn't necessarily led to targets in the past, so even a starting assignment won't come with much fantasy appeal if Sims gets it.
