Williams (undisclosed) was released from San Francisco's injured reserve with an injury settlement Friday, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Williams' injury is unclear in nature, but it's seemingly serious enough to have landed him on injured reserve Saturday. The 28-year-old was competing for a depth role in the Niners' receiving corps, but now he'll have to focus on getting healthy and finding a new opportunity elsewhere.

Berrios (hamstring) is questionable for Sunday's game against Buffalo.

Berrios was limited in all three practices this week. The 23-year-old was scooped up by the Jets after being waived by New England on cutdown day Saturday. When healthy, Berrios is expected to provide depth to the Jets' receiving corps. For now, however, New York finds itself with just three healthy receivers behind Robby Anderson (calf).

Moore (shoulder) won't return for Week 2 against the Steelers, but he should have a decent shot to play thereafter, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.

With Moore now out for the first two games, Jaron Brown and DK Metcalf don't seem to have much competition for snaps in three-wide sets. Moore hasn't been able to practice since he suffered a non-displaced fracture in his upper arm during a practice in the third week of the preseason.

Despite his 'questionable' designation, Brown (foot) doesn't appear in danger of missing Sunday's game in Miami, Clifton Brown of the Ravens' official website reports. "[Brown] will play in the game," coach John Harbaugh said Friday.

Added to the injury report Thursday as a full participant, Brown then was held out of Friday's practice. It may just be a matter of maintenance, with the rookie first-round pick coming off Lisfranc surgery in January. The extent of his role is a question mark, but it sounds like he'll at least be active Sunday against the Dolphins.

Anderson (calf) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bills.

Anderson practiced in a limited fashion all week, which bodes well for his chances of suiting up, especially since Rich Cimini of ESPN.com relayed Thursday that coach Adam Gase expects the wideout to play Week 1. That said, since Anderson is just one of three players on the Jets' injury report this week -- all listed as questionable -- his status is still worth confirming in advance of Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff.

Evans (illness) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the 49ers after missing practice Friday.

Coach Bruce Arians expects Evans to regain his health by Sunday, but the story nonetheless merits tracking prior to the Bucs' 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff. The weather forecast doesn't look great if he's still a bit under the weather, with the high Sunday in Tampa Bay estimated at 87 degrees Fahrenheit.

Taylor (foot) has been ruled out for Sunday's game in Tampa Bay, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Taylor is now four weeks removed from surgery to repair a Jones fracture. He hasn't returned to practice, but the decision to keep him off injured reserve suggests the 49ers expect him to be ready at some point in the first half of the season. Dante Pettis, Kendrick Bourne, Deebo Samuel and Richie James all are candidates for slot work Sunday against the Buccaneers.

Lazard was limited to special-teams duty in Thursday's victory over the Bears.

Lazard served as the Packers' sixth receiver in Week 1, but only four wideouts were involved in the game plan, and Lazard did not see a snap on offense. It remains to be seen if Lazard will suit up for Week 2, as fellow wideout Darrius Shepherd (hamstring) -- who beat out Lazard for a spot on the initial 53-man roster -- could return after missing Week 1.

Moore (shoulder) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bengals, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

This decision was more or less expected to happen after Moore suffered a non-displaced fracture in his upper arm in late August. The issue isn't severe enough to warrant a move to injured reserve, but he will be among the Seahawks' inactive players to kick off the campaign. With Moore sidelined, Tyler Lockett, DK Metcalf and Jaron Brown will be the top trio of wideouts at Russell Wilson's disposal.

Beckham (hip) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game against the Titans, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

Beckham was a surprise addition to the Browns' injury report Thursday with a hip issue, which he admitted was difficult to deal with throughout the preseason, per Mary Kay Cabot of the Cleveland Plain Dealer. While he said that his ability to sprint "hinders" him, Beckham nonetheless was a full practice participant both Thursday and Friday. He'll thus serve as Baker Mayfield's top target Week 1.
