McConkey (ankle) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Jaguars.

McConkey upgraded to full practice participation Friday after limited sessions Wednesday and Thursday. Having reestablished himself as Justin Herbert's top target in recent weeks, McConkey has scored in four of his last six games heading into Sunday's matchup against a vulnerable Jacksonville secondary that has allowed 11 touchdowns through the air in its last three games.

Johnston (shin) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Jaguars after practicing fully Friday, Eric Smith of the Chargers' official site reports.

Johnston was limited Wednesday and Thursday, but his return to a full session Friday bodes well for his chances of facing Jacksonville. That said, the WR's official questionable designation makes his status worth confirming ahead of the Chargers' 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff Sunday. In his team's Week 10 win over the Steelers, Johnston recorded an 82 percent snap share en route to catching five of his team-high 10 targets for 42 yards.

Johnston (shin) will be listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Jaguars.

Johnston was limited at practice Wednesday and Thursday, with added context regarding his Week 11 status slated to arrive via his official participation level Friday. If Johnston is limited or out Sunday, Tre' Harris likely would see added snaps alongside Ladd McConkey and Keenan Allen.

Eskridge (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Commanders, Travis Wingfield of the Dolphins' official site reports.

Eskridge was limited in all three of Miami's practices, marking clear progress after he didn't practice in any capacity prior to being ruled out against the Bills in Week 10. If Eskridge suits up Sunday in Madrid, his contributions would likely come primarily on special teams.

Godwin (fibula) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bills, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.

Godwin and Bucky Irving both returned to limited practice participation this week, following lengthy absences, potentially setting up returns to game action in Week 12 or 13. Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles didn't comment on expectations for the future, merely telling reporters Friday that Godwin and Irving won't play this week.

Bateman (ankle) wasn't spotted at practice Friday, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.

Bateman, who also didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday, thus is trending toward not being available Sunday against the Browns. If that ends up being the case, DeAndre Hopkins and Tylan Wallace would likely see added WR snaps alongside Zay Flowers this weekend.

Slayton (hamstring) won't practice Friday, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

With three straight DNPs this week, Slayton is trending toward missing Sunday's game against the Packers, an outcome that could be confirmed later Friday when the Giants post their final Week 11 injury report. If Slayton is sidelined this weekend, Gunner Olszewski, Isaiah Hodgins and current practice-squad member Ray-Ray McCloud would figure to see added snaps alongside WR Wan'Dale Robinson.

Coach Sean McDermott said Friday that Shakir (ankle/ribs) "is heading in the right direction and should be in a good spot" for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.

Shakir was limited at practice both Wednesday and Thursday, but the wide receiver is trending in the right direction ahead of Week 11 action, unlike tight end Dalton Kincaid (hamstring), who won't play this weekend. Friday's final injury report will reveal whether Shakir is handed an injury designation or is fully cleared to face Tampa Bay.

Williams, who was on the field for 45 of a possible 67 snaps on offense in Thursday's 27-14 win over the Jets, per Mike Reiss of ESPN.com, did not record a catch in the contest while being targeted three times.

Williams continued to see added playing time with fellow WR Kayshon Boutte (hamstring) inactive for the second straight game, but the rookie pass catcher didn't make a statistical impact versus the Jets after having caught one of his two targets for a 72-yard touchdown in this past Sunday's win over the Buccaneers. Looking ahead, Williams remains a speculative fantasy option while working in a New England wide receiver corps that also includes Stefon Diggs, Mack Hollins and DeMario Douglas, who combined for 15 catches Thursday.

Douglas caught all three of his targets for 36 yards and carried once for minus-5 yards in Thursday's 27-14 win over the Jets.

With Kayshon Boutte (hamstring) inactive for the second straight contest, Douglas, who logged 19 snaps Thursday, was once again outsnapped by fellow WRs Mack Hollins (57), Stefon Diggs (46) and Kyle Williams (45), per Mike Reiss of ESPN.com. In 11 games, Douglas has recorded a receiving line of 23 catches (on 35 targets) for 332 yards and three TDs, a rate of production (while working in an offense that spreads the ball around) that has yielded modest fantasy value thus far.
