Thielen (hamstring) is practicing Saturday, Chris Tomasson of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

We won't know Thielen's official practice status until later Saturday afternoon, but it does seem as if the veteran wide receiver is on pace to possibly suit up Monday against the Seahawks. More information will likely be available following the release of the team's final injury report.

Moore was a non-participant at Friday's practice due to an illness.

Moore was one of three Seahawks sidelined at practice due to an illness, so there appears to be a bug going around. More clarity on his status for Monday's matchup with the Vikings will come once Seattle releases its final injury report.

Pryor underwent surgery Saturday following an off-the-field incident, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

The 30-year-old wide receiver, who last played for the Jaguars during the 2019 preseason, is currently in critical condition following an off-the-field incident which took place in Pittsburgh on Friday.

Metcalf (knee) was a full participant in Friday's practice, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Seattle listed Metcalf as a limited participant on Thursday's estimated practice report, so his upgrade to full activity should put to rest any concern about his Week 13 availability. Meanwhile, top wideout Tyler Lockett (shin/illness) failed to practice Friday, so Metcalf and Josh Gordon could be in line for enhanced roles in the Seattle passing attack in the event Lockett isn't ready to play Monday versus the Vikings.

Lockett (shin/illness) was listed as a non-participant in Friday's practice, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Lockett was a limited participant Thursday on the Seahawks' first practice report Week 13, so his downgrade in activity a day later isn't the most reassuring sign. Seattle will see what Lockett is able to do in its final session of the week Saturday before gauging his availability for the Monday night showdown with the Vikings.

Coach Andy Reid confirmed Friday that Hill (hamstring) would be able to play Sunday against the Raiders, Adam Teicher of ESPN.com reports.

Hill was forced out early in the Chiefs' previous game Nov. 18 versus the Chargers with a strained hamstring, but he seemingly put to rest any concern about his health by practicing fully Wednesday in Kansas City's first official session following a Week 12 bye. The wideout went on to practice fully again Thursday and Friday, so he shouldn't face any restrictions with his snap count as he checks back into the lineup this weekend. Despite playing less than 20 percent of the offensive snaps due to injury in two of his seven appearances this season, Hill ranks 12th in the NFL with 77.6 receiving yards per game.

Dorsett (concussion) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Texans after practicing in a limited fashion all week.

The same applies to Julian Edelman (shoulder) and Mohamed Sanu (ankle), with Edelman looking the most likely of the three wideouts to play. Meanwhile, Dorsett appears to be on track to suit up after clearing the NFL's concussion protocol, per Mike Reiss of ESPN.com, and Sanu seems to be trending in the right direction as well. Assuming he does return to action this weekend, Dorsett seems likely to see enough looks to merit deep-league PPR consideration. He's also a candidate to score, having made five trips to the end zone in nine contests to date.

Patrick (shoulder) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Chargers, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.

The wideout's participation in practice was limited Wednesday and Thursday on account of the injury, but he erased any concern about his Week 13 status by taking every rep during Friday's session. Since returning from injured reserve Week 11, Patrick has operated as the clear No. 2 wideout behind Courtland Sutton, playing 69.4 percent of the offensive snaps the past two games and hauling in five of 11 targets for 80 yards. Patrick's fantasy outlook could improve over the final quarter of the season if the Broncos elect to roll with second-round rookie Drew Lock (thumb) as the starting quarterback over incumbent Brandon Allen, who has completed just 46.4 percent of his attempts through three outings.

Coach Jason Garrett said Friday that he's confident Cooper (knee) will be ready to play in the Cowboys' next game Dec. 5 versus the Bears, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Though the Bears and Cowboys both played on Thanksgiving Day, the two teams will have a normal turnaround between games as they face one another on Thursday Night Football in Week 14. After being held without a catch in Week 12 in New England, Cooper bounced back nicely in a tough matchup versus the Bills on Thursday, hauling in eight of 11 targets for 85 yards in the 26-15 loss. Unfortunately, the oft-banged-up receiver came out of the contest with a left knee injury in tow. Though an MRI and X-ray cleared him of any structural damage, Cooper's practice reps may still be limited next week and at least temporarily cloud his status for the team's matchup with Chicago.

Boykin was added to the injury report Friday due to an ankle injury, with the Ravens listing him as questionable for Sunday's game against the 49ers, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

Boykin presumably suffered the injury during Thursday's practice, as he wasn't available for Friday's session. A Week 13 absence could free up some snaps for Chris Moore, or the Ravens might just split the work at receiver between Marquise Brown, Willie Snead and Seth Roberts. Regardless, it wouldn't be a huge loss for the offense, as Boykin is averaging 1.6 targets per game.
