Adonai Mitchell WR | NYJ
Jets' Adonai Mitchell: Coach doesn't reveal Week 10 status
Head coach Aaron Glenn was non-committal Friday on whether Mitchell will be available for Sunday's game against the Browns, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
Mitchell was acquired in a trade from the Colts on Tuesday, so he's still familiarizing himself with the Jets' playbook. Glenn referred to Mitchell as "a true X" receiver, suggesting that Mitchell's playing time will come on the outside if he suits up for his Jets debut in a receiving corps that's expected to welcome back top option Garrett Wilson (knee) against the Browns.

Josh Palmer WR | BUF
Bills' Joshua Palmer: Questionable to face Dolphins
Palmer (knee/ankle) will be listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Dolphins, head coach Sean McDermott said Friday, Bills radio broadcaster Chris Brown reports.
Palmer was limited in practice both Wednesday and Thursday, and it doesn't sound like that will change Friday. If he gains clearance to suit up Sunday, it would be Palmer's first game action since Week 6.

Tyler Lockett WR | LV
Raiders' Tyler Lockett: Records 44 receiving yards Thursday
Lockett brought in five of six targets for 44 yards in the Raiders' 10-7 loss to the Broncos on Thursday night.
Playing in only his second game as a Raider, Lockett and Geno Smith reignited their well-established connection from their time in Seattle during the narrow loss. Lockett led the Raiders in receptions, receiving yards and targets on the night with figures that were also season highs. Whether Lockett's enhanced role in Las Vegas' first game without the traded Jakobi Meyers has any staying power remains to be seen, but he'll have a matchup conducive to carrying over the momentum when the Cowboys pay a visit to Las Vegas on Monday night, Nov. 17 for a Week 11 interconference clash.

Tre Tucker WR | LV
Raiders' Tre Tucker: Quiet in first game as top wideout
Tucker brought in two of three targets for 28 yards and rushed once for seven yards in the Raiders' 10-7 loss to the Broncos on Thursday night.
Tucker became the the Raiders' No. 1 receiver on paper due to the trade of Jakobi Meyers to the Jaguars on Tuesday, but that wasn't exactly reflected on Thursday's stat sheet. Veteran Tyler Lockett, who had gone without a catch in his team debut Sunday against the Jaguars, finished as Las Vegas pace-setter among the pass-catching corps Thursday with a 5-44-0 line on six targets, while had Tucker his lowest catch and receiving yardage totals since Week 4. Whether the pecking order against Denver is just a one-game anomaly remains to be seen, but the entire Raiders offense has a much more appealing matchup in a Week 11 home clash against the Cowboys on Monday night, Nov. 17.

Troy Franklin WR | DEN
Broncos' Troy Franklin: Gets into end zone Thursday
Franklin brought in five of nine targets for 40 yards and a touchdown in the Broncos' 10-7 win over the Raiders on Thursday night.
Franklin was the only Broncos player to get into the end zone Thursday, making a tough seven-yard touchdown grab late in the first half. The second-year wideout also led Denver in receptions and targets, and his recent ascension in the passing offense has been impossible to ignore -- Franklin has 37 targets over the last four games alone. The Oregon product should be busy again in Week 11, as the Chiefs pay the Broncos a visit on Sunday, Nov. 16 for a critical divisional showdown.

Courtland Sutton WR | DEN
Broncos' Courtland Sutton: Three catches in Week 10 win
Sutton secured three of four targets for 24 yards in the Broncos' 10-7 win over the Raiders on Thursday night.
Sutton put together another quiet performance, finishing with his third sub-30-yard performance in the last five games. The veteran wideout also has four or fewer catches in four of the last five games, a stark departure from the first five games of the season, when he posted a 26-365-3 receiving line on 37 targets. Sutton should have a good chance of reverting to a higher-volume role in Week 11, however, as the Chiefs pay a visit for a critical divisional showdown on Sunday, Nov. 16.

Savion Williams WR | GB
Packers' Savion Williams: Misses practice Thursday
Williams (foot) did not participate at practice Thursday.
Williams caught both of his targets for 12 yards and failed to gain a yard on his only carry while also losing a fumble in the team's 16-13 loss to the Panthers in Week 9. The wide receiver may have picked up a foot injury in the process, leaving his status for Week 10 uncertain. Williams will have two more chances to return to practice prior to Monday night's matchup with the Eagles.

Dareke Young WR | LV
Seahawks' Dareke Young: Misses another practice
Young (quadriceps) sat out of practice Thursday after being estimated as a non-participant at Wednesday's walkthrough, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
The kick returner and wide receiver suffered the injury in Week 7 and could not return for Week 9, even after Seattle's bye. If Young can't play Sunday against the Cardinals, George Holani might be next in line to return kicks.
-
Jake Bobo WR | SEA
Seahawks' Jake Bobo: Sits out again
Bobo (calf) did not participate in practice for the second day in a row Thursday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Wednesday's session was a walkthrough, but Bobo was still unable to participate. The punt returner and wide receiver also missed the Seahawks' Week 9 win over the Commanders.

Jordan Whittington WR | LAR
Rams' Jordan Whittington: Misses practice again
Whittington (back) did not participate in practice for the second day in a row Thursday, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.
The kick returner and wide receiver will have one more chance to practice ahead of Sunday's matchup with the 49ers. Whittington has 12 catches for 121 yards and 109 kickoff-return yards on the year. If Whittington ultimately sits out Sunday, Blake Corum might be next in line to handle kickoff-return duties.
