CeeDee Lamb WR | DAL
Cowboys' CeeDee Lamb: Cleared to face Washington
Lamb (ankle) was a full practice participant Friday and doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against Washington, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.
Lamb apparently wasn't kidding when he said Thursday that he's ready to play and doesn't anticipate any limitations this weekend in his first game action since Week 3. He even upgraded to full participation at the end of the week, following limited practices Wednesday and Thursday. Fellow Cowboys wideout KaVontae Turpin (foot) also is cleared to return this week, potentially pushing Jalen Tolbert and/or Ryan Flournoy to the bench.

Christian Watson WR | GB
Packers' Christian Watson: Won't return for Week 7
Watson (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game at Arizona, Bo Brack of GoPHNX.com reports.
Watson remained limited in practice throughout the week, seemingly avoiding setbacks but not quite getting the green light for full participation. An upgrade to full likely will be the signal that his 2025 debut is coming, be it Week 8 at Pittsburgh or later on in the season.

Marquez Valdes-Scantling WR | SF
49ers' Marquez Valdes-Scantling: Moved to IR
Valdes-Scantling (calf) was placed on injured reserve Friday.
Valdes-Scantling is the latest 49ers wide receiver to get bitten by the injury bug, and his absence will last at least four weeks after his placement on IR. The veteran wideout's first opportunity to return to game action will come Sunday, Nov. 16 at Arizona.

Marvin Harrison Jr. WR | ARI
Cardinals' Marvin Harrison: Set to play Sunday
Harrison (concussion) practiced in full Friday and doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game against the Packers, Tyler Drake of ArizonaSports.com reports.
Harrison came out of a Week 6 loss in Indianapolis with a concussion that limited him at Wednesday's walkthrough and Thursday's practice, but his ability to handle every practice rep Friday followed by avoiding a Week 7 designation indicates he's been cleared by an independent neurologist. QB Kyler Murray (foot) is listed as questionable for Sunday's contest after being listed as limited all week, but Jacoby Brissett took all the visible reps with the first-team offense, suggesting the latter is more likely than the former to be tossing passes Harrison's way this weekend.

Dyami Brown WR | JAC
Jaguars' Dyami Brown: Cleared after limited practices
Brown (shoulder) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Rams.
Brown was limited in all three of Jacksonville's practices this week but will suit up Sunday morning in London. His performance has dropped off significantly after a strong start, perhaps due to lingering injuries. Brown has just 35 receiving yards across his last three appearances dating back to Week 3.

Chris Godwin WR | TB
Buccaneers' Chris Godwin: Not practicing Friday
Godwin (fibula) didn't practice Friday, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.
Buccaneers coach Todd Bowles said Monday that Godwin is unlikely to play this week. Continued absences from practice suggest Godwin may be ruled out as soon as Saturday, while the Bucs at least are leaving the door cracked open for fellow wideouts Mike Evans (hamstring) and Emeka Egbuka (hamstring).

Emeka Egbuka WR | TB
Buccaneers' Emeka Egbuka: Misses practice again
Egbuka (hamstring) didn't practice Friday, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.
The Buccaneers haven't ruled Egbuka out for Monday's game at Detroit, but reports suggest he's unlikely to play -- an idea now backed up by consecutive missed practices. Chris Godwin (fibula) also hasn't practiced this week, while Mike Evans managed a limited session Thursday before sitting out Friday. Fantasy managers should prepare to be without Egbuka this week, even if the Bucs leave the door open as long as possible. A Monday game makes things tricky for fantasy managers, with so many moving parts in Tampa Bay's offense (again).

Stefon Diggs WR | NE
Patriots' Stefon Diggs: Questionable after full practice
Diggs (chest) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Titans after upgrading to full participation in Friday's practice, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.
Though the official questionable designation makes Diggs' status worth monitoring ahead of Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff, the wideout's ability to practice fully Friday has him trending in the right direction for Week 7 action. If, however, Diggs ends up limited or out versus Tennessee, added opportunities at WR would be available for Kayshon Boutte, DeMario Douglas, Mack Hollins and Kyle Williams.
-
Mike Evans WR | TB
Buccaneers' Mike Evans: No practice Friday
Evans (hamstring) didn't practice Friday, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.
The report notes that Evans may just be getting the day off for maintenance before returning to practice Saturday. He was a limited participant Thursday, making his first practice appearance of any kind since straining his left hamstring in a Week 3 win over the Jets. There's risk of a game-day decision, which would be all the more difficult for fantasy managers with Evans and the Bucs playing on Monday this week (at Detroit).

Deebo Samuel WR | WAS
Commanders' Deebo Samuel: Uncertain to face Cowboys
Samuel (heel) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at Dallas, Commanders writer Ben Standig reports.
Samuel returned to practice Friday, but he was a limited participant and suggested to reporters that he's not sure if he'll play Sunday. He did play through the same injury the past two weeks, including Week 5 when he had an 8-96-1 receiving line against the Chargers. Samuel slumped to 4-15-0 in Monday's loss to the Bears, but his playing time wasn't impacted, handling a 72 percent snap share and 90 percent route share. With Terry McLaurin (quad) out again and TE Zach Ertz (shoulder/calf) listed as questionable, Washington is running low on healthy pass catchers.
