Williams (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Sunday's contest at Cincinnati.

Williams managed limited sessions this week while working his way through a sprained shoulder, which has hampered him since an Aug. 23 practice. Coach Anthony Lynn has referred to Williams as a likely "game-time decision," one with fantasy management implications due to the Chargers kicking off the season Sunday at 4:05 p.m. ET. If Williams is inactive, his replacements at outside receiver will be Jalen Guyton and Joe Reed.

Parker (hamstring) practiced in full Friday and doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game in New England, Josh Tolentino of The Athletic reports.

Parker was hindered down the stretch of training camp and limited during the first two sessions of Week 1 due to a hamstring injury. That said, he capped the week with a "full" tag and will be ready to handle a starting spot at outside receiver in the season opener. The same can be said for Preston Williams (knee), meaning quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick will have an intact receiving corps at his disposal Sunday.

Coach Vic Fangio relayed that Sutton (shoulder) won't practice Friday, but he noted the wideout is expected to return to a limited session Saturday, Jeff Legwold of ESPN.com reports.

As Monday night's season opener against the Titans approaches, Sutton is considered day-to-day with a sprained AC joint in his shoulder. If Denver's top wideout is out or limited at all Week 1, added targets would be available for rookie starter Jerry Jeudy as well as returnees Tim Patrick and DaeSean Hamilton.

Coach John Harbaugh said Friday that Moore (finger) won't suit up against the Browns on Sunday, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.

Harbaugh said "we'll see" about Moore's chances of returning Week 2 in Houston. The depth wideout contributed mostly on special teams across 14 appearances in 2019, so his absence shouldn't have much of an impact on the Ravens' offense.

Johnson (foot) returned to practice Friday, according to fellow wideout JuJu Smith-Schuster, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

Johnson didn't practice Thursday, so his presence on the field Friday puts him on course to suit up Monday night against the Giants. Our confidence in that outcome will elevate if the wideout is officially listed as a full practice participant by the Steelers. Johnson is listed as a starter on the team's posted depth chart, opposite Smith-Schuster.

Johnson missed practice Thursday and Friday for non-injury reasons, Kyle Odegard of the Cardinals' official site reports.

With no other details provided, it isn't clear if Johnson will be available for Sunday's game in San Francisco. It also isn't clear he'll have a significant role -- or even be active -- if he is available. The 2019 sixth-round pick was limited to a 21-187-1 receiving line on 42 targets last year.

Reagor took part in Friday's practice, Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

Reagor was a surprising full participant in Thursday's practice, and his presence at Friday's session suggests he didn't suffer any setbacks with the shoulder injury that was expected to cost him at least a game or two. He isn't officially in for Week 1, but the arrow is certainly pointed in the right direction for the rookie.

Parker (hamstring) suited up for Friday's practice, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.

It's not clear how much work Parker got in, but he was able to take the practice field for the third straight day. His status for Sunday's season opener against the Patriots will be revealed after Friday's session comes to a close.

Evans (hamstring) took part in Friday's practice, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.

It appears Evans was only able to practice on a limited basis Friday, but it's a good sign that he was on the field after sitting out the previous two days. While Evans' participation provides reason for optimism, his status for Week 1 has not yet been determined and may not be until game day.

Cooks (quadriceps) secured two of five targets for 20 yards in the Texans' 34-20 loss to the Chiefs on Thursday.

The offseason acquisition ended up making a modest impact in his Texans debut, although he did finish second on the team in targets to Will Fuller. Likely working against Cooks in his Texans debut was both the quadriceps injury that had him carrying a questionable tag into the day, as well as the limited opportunities he's had thus far to build chemistry with quarterback Deshaun Watson. Fantasy managers can at least take solace in the fact Watson didn't hesitate to look Cooks' way a fair amount of times right from their first game together. The veteran receiver will now also have some valuable extra time to address both his recovering leg and synergy with his signal-caller before a Week 2 home matchup against the Ravens on Sunday, Sept. 20.
