Beasley was given a rest day Friday but does not have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Eagles, Chris Brown of the Bills' official site reports.

The little guy scored his first TD for the Bills in last week's win over Miami, and in what figures to be a tight game against the Eagles he may be an important piece once again. Philly is far weaker against the pass compared to its strong run defense.

Adams (toe) was considered a non-participant in Friday's practice, but coach Matt LaFleur isn't ready to rule the wide receiver out for Sunday's game in Kansas City, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

Adams did some light jogging and caught some passes during the open portion of Friday's practice, but it apparently wasn't enough to be listed as a limited participant. He's at least showing clear signs of progress, considering he was ruled out on Fridays the past couple weeks. On a less optimistic note, LaFleur said Adams won't play in Sunday's game if the medical staff believes that doing so would put him at risk of further injuring his toe, per Ryan Wood of the Green Bay Press-Gazette. The Friday injury report will reveal whether Adams is listed as 'questionable' or 'doubtful' to face the Chiefs.

Allen (hamstring) stretched with his teammates, but then proceeded to work on the side during individual drills Friday, Gilbert Manzano of The Orange County Register reports.

That's concerning given that the wideout was added to the Chargers' Week 8 injury report after missing Thursday's practice with a hamstring issue. We'll have to see how the team lists Allen on Friday's final report, but if he's out or limited this weekend, Geremy Davis and Andre Patton would be candidates to see added work alongside Mike Williams.

Shepard (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game in Detroit, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

A limited participant in every practice the past two weeks, Shepard hasn't been able to clear concussion protocol after suffering his second head injury of the season back in Week 5. His absence locks in Golden Tate and Darius Slayton for heavy snap counts, while Cody Latimer, Bennie Fowler and Cody Core have all seen some run in the No. 3 role.

Adams (toe) was limited to light jogging and catching passes without a helmet or cleats during the open portion of Friday's practice, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Adams was limited to stretches and warmups the prior two days, ultimately labeled as a non-participant on the practice report. He appears likely to miss a fourth straight game Sunday night in Kansas City, but the Packers might list him as questionable. Adams mentioned Thursday that it's still difficult for him to run routes at full speed.

Head coach Adam Gase said Crowder (knee) had an "awkward collision at practice" Thursday and was held out of the final few drills as a precaution, Manish Mehta of the New York Daily News reports.

While Crowder was unable to finish Thursday's practice, Gase did not express concern about Crowder's status during his Friday morning press conference, so the slot receiver should be good to go for Sunday's matchup against the Jaguars. The Jets' final injury report of the week will reveal if Crowder carries an injury designation into the weekend.

McLaurin secured four of six targets for 39 yards in the Redskins' 19-9 loss to the Vikings on Thursday.

McLaurin's modest totals nevertheless served as team bests across the board, as the entire air attack was significantly hamstrung in the second half with Dwayne Haskins taking over for Case Keenum (concussion). McLaurin now has back-to-back quiet games, but the weather (Week 7) and the gameplan (Week 8) have had a significant part to play in the downturn. McLaurin will look to bounce back in another game that could have less-than-ideal circumstances, a Week 9 road matchup versus the Bills a week from Sunday.

Diggs secured all seven targets for 143 yards in the Vikings' 19-9 win over the Redskins on Thursday. He also lost a fumble.

Diggs led both clubs in receptions and receiving yardage on the night and turned in three receptions of more than 30 yards in the process. After a brief bump in the road that even led to trade rumors earlier in the season, Diggs has roared back to put together three consecutive 100-yard efforts that have all consisted of seven-catch tallies. The 25-year-old will look to extend his hot streak in a Week 9 battle against the Chiefs a week from Sunday.

After Thursday's win over the Redskins -- which Thielen sat out due to a hamstring injury -- coach Mike Zimmer relayed that he expects the wideout to play in Week 9 against the Chiefs, Chris Tomasson of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

Thielen has 10 more days to heal up before the Vikings next take the field, and his coach expects the standout receiver to be good to go by then. More clarification should start to surface on Thielen's status once the Vikings begin practicing next week.
