McLaurin (thigh) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Ravens, Kyle Stackpole of Washington's official site reports.

McLaurin was added to the injury report Thursday as a limited participant and was held out of team drills during Friday's session. He did get in some work on a side field Friday, potentially setting up a game-time decision ahead of the team's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff Sunday. With fellow Washington wideout Steven Sims (toe) already ruled out, the team may need to rely on the likes of Dontrelle Inman, Isaiah Wright, Cam Sims and Antonio Gandy-Golden to handle the WR snaps this weekend. It's a situation that could lead to more targets for TE Logan Thomas and the running backs, though fantasy points won't be plentiful if Dwayne Haskins isn't able to complete passes to move the chains.

Ridley (ankle) returned to practice Friday, Vaughn McClure of ESPN.com reports.

Ridley was held out Thursday, but there hasn't been any suggestion his ankle injury is serious, and he'll have an extra day to prepare before the Falcons face the Packers on Monday. He's top five in a slew of key receiving stats, including yards (349, 2nd), touchdowns (four, t-1st) and air yards (559, 1st).

Coach Doug Marrone said the team is "comfortable" with Chark (chest) playing Sunday against the Bengals, Ashlyn Sullivan of the Jaguars' official site reports.

The 24-year-old was limited at practice Wednesday and Thursday while sporting a red non-contact jersey after sitting out Week 3, but the Jaguars apparently don't have any reservations in returning him to the field this weekend. Chark's availability should receive further clarity when the team releases its official injury report later in the day.

Godwin (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Chargers, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Reports earlier this week suggested Godwin was in danger of missing multiple games, and it doesn't help his cause that the Bucs play on Thursday Night Football against the Bears in Week 5. He didn't practice at all this week, so a return for the Thursday game doesn't seem especially likely. Fellow wideout Justin Watson has been cleared to return from a shoulder injury for Sunday's game, while Scotty Miller (hip) appears questionable.

Hopkins (ankle) wasn't present for the open portion of Friday's practice, Kyle Odegard of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Hopkins often played in games without logging much time on the practice field back in Houston, but it's nonetheless concerning to see him absent for a third straight day. This suggests he'll be listed as questionable, at best, when the Cardinals release their final injury report Friday afternoon. They have a 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff in Carolina on Sunday.

Sims (toe) wasn't seen at practice Friday, Sam Fortier of The Washington Post reports.

The 23-year-old has yet to practice this week and appears unlikely to be available for Sunday's game against the Ravens. Friday's injury report should shed more light on Sims' availability, but he appears to be trending in the wrong direction heading into the weekend. Top-wideout Terry McLaurin (thigh) also is limited, which could open up opportunities for Dontrelle Inman and Isaiah Wright.

McLaurin (thigh) wasn't participating in team drills at practice Friday, Sam Fortier of The Washington Post reports.

The 24-year-old was riding the exercise bike on the side and appears to be a limited practice participant for the second straight day, as Ben Standig of The Athletic reports he was also working on a side field. McLaurin seems headed for the questionable tag, but Friday's official injury report will shed more light on his status for Week 4.

Beckham (back) is participating in the early portion of Friday's practice open to the media, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Beckham was limited in Thursday's practice due to a back issue, so it'll be worth monitoring whether he's able to upgrade to full participation when the Browns' final injury report of the week is released Friday afternoon. As long as he's able to suit up against the high-flying Cowboys offense Sunday, Beckham could be in line to benefit from a positive game script that forces more downfield looks.

Miller (hip) is on the field for the early portion of Friday's practice, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Miller looks as though he'll officially be listed as 'limited' on Friday's final practice report of the week, but that would be a notable step in the right direction coming off back-to-back absences. With Chris Godwin (hamstring) expected to sit out Sunday's game against the Chargers, Miller could see the opportunity for valuable added reps if he's able to get the green light and suit up.

Godwin (hamstring) was not spotted at the portion of Friday's practice open to the media, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Godwin appears set to miss his third straight practice of the week, which isn't too surprising considering that the star wideout is in danger of sitting out up to two games. When the Buccaneers release Friday's official practice report this afternoon, an official designation for Godwin's Week 4 availability will be provided.
