Cooper (quadriceps) was encouraged after Friday's practice and expects to play Sunday night against the Eagles, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Cooper presumably was a limited participant and will likely carry a questionable designation on the final injury report. His optimism meshes with a report earlier Friday from Clarence E. Hill Jr. of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, who was told by a source that the wide receiver is on track to play. Heading into a crucial NFC East matchup on the heels of three consecutive losses, the Cowboys will do everything possible to get Cooper on the field Sunday. That said, he may still be treated as a game-time decision ahead of the 8:20 p.m. EDT kickoff.

Campbell (abdomen) won't play Sunday against the Texans, Andrew Walker of the Colts' official site reports.

Per George Bremer of The Anderson Herald Bulletin, the plan is for Campbell to return to practice next week. With the rookie sidelined Sunday for a second straight contest, Zach Pascal, Deon Cain and Chester Rogers will be in the mix for added snaps behind top wideout T.Y. Hilton.

Adams (toe) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Raiders, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

Speaking to the media after Friday's practice, coach Matt LaFleur acknowledged that Adams won't be able to play but did say the Packers still have 48 hours to evaluate Marquez Valdes-Scantling (knee/ankle) and Geronimo Allison (chest/concussion). It sounds like the other wide receivers could come down to game-time decisions before Sunday's 1:00 p.m. EST kickoff. Adams mentioned Thursday that his sprained toe is feeling much better, so he could be back in the mix as soon as Week 8 in Kansas City.

Shepard (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Arizona.

Despite managing limited participation earlier this week, Shepard won't make it back from his second concussion of the season in time to avoid a Week 7 absence. The Giants likely will deploy Golden Tate, Darius Slayton and Cody Latimer in three-wide sets, though Cody Core and Bennie Fowler could also get some snaps. On the plus side with regard to the team's offense, top back Saquon Barkley and tight end Evan Engram have been cleared to play.

Valdes-Scantling (ankle/knee) isn't practicing Friday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

The same goes for Davante Adams (toe) and Geronimo Allison (concussion/chest), potentially leaving the Packers without their top three wide receivers for Sunday's game against Oakland. The final injury report will be released later Friday.

Adams (toe) isn't practicing Friday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Adams mentioned Thursday that his sprained toe is feeling much better, but there hasn't been any concrete evidence pointing toward a return for Sunday's game against Oakland. With Marquez Valdes-Scantling (ankle/knee) and Geronimo Allison (chest/concussion) also missing practice again Friday, the Packers may have to roll with Jake Kumerow, Allen Lazard, Ryan Grant and Darrius Shepherd at wide receiver.

Cobb (back) is expected to practice Friday, Clarence E. Hill Jr. of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.

Cobb missed the first two practices of the week, but he said Wednesday he was hopeful to make it on the practice field Friday, and it appears he will do just that. Hill added that if Cobb is able to avoid a setback, he would be in line to take the field Sunday against the Eagles.

Cooper (quadriceps/ankle) is expected to practice Friday, Clarence E. Hill Jr. of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.

Cooper didn't practice the previous two days, but it appears he'll get some work at the Cowboys' final session of the week. The receiver said Thursday he wasn't sure if he would be able to play Sunday against the Eagles, but Hill relays that Cooper is on track to suit up if he avoids a setback in practice. Cooper's official status for Sunday will be revealed when the Cowboys release their final injury report later Friday.

Brown (ankle) isn't taking part in Friday's practice, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.

Brown hasn't practiced in two weeks, which doesn't bode well for his chances of playing Sunday against the Seahawks. The rookie's official status for Sunday's contest will be revealed after Friday's practice comes to a close.

Shepard (concussion) isn't expected to play Sunday against the Cardinals, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

Shepard suffered his second concussion of the season in Week 5 and missed last Thursday's loss to the Patriots, so it's not a major surprise that he isn't expected to clear the concussion protocol in advance of this weekend. The 25-year-old has been working as a limited practice participant this week, but has yet to be cleared for any contact work. Golden Tate and Darius Slayton should take the lion's share of the snaps at wide receiver versus Arizona on Sunday.
