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.

Brown (foot) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at Miami, Jonas Shaffer of The Baltimore Sun reports.

Brown appeared on Thursday's injury report due to a foot issue, but he was a full participant in that session. While the rookie wideout was held out entirely Friday, there's an expectation from coach John Harbaugh that Brown will take the field Week 1, per Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic. No matter, Brown's status will remain in limbo until about 90 minutes before Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff.

Williams (undisclosed) was placed on injured reserve Saturday, per the league's official transactions report.

Williams was competing for a deep depth role in San Francisco's wide receiver room in the offseason, but he's now done for the season due to an undisclosed injury. He'll focus on returning to full health.

Diggs (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Atlanta, with coach Mike Zimmer suggesting after Friday's practice that he isn't sure if the wide receiver will play, Chris Tomasson of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

Diggs returned to practice Thursday and finished out the week with a pair of limited sessions. He appears truly questionable, with Zimmer merely saying "we'll see" when reporters asked him about the wide receiver's availability for the season opener. We may not have a final decision until the Vikings release their inactive list around 11:30 a.m. ET on Sunday. If Diggs were to miss the game, Chad Beebe and Bisi Johnson would be next in line for wideout snaps, with recent acquisition Josh Doctson potentially also in the mix. Adam Thielen, Kyle Rudolph and Dalvin Cook would still be the best bets for targets, and the Vikings might also use more two-TE formations with Irv Smith Jr.

Coutee, who has been dealing with a sprained ankle that he suffered in the Texans' preseason opener, is iffy for Monday night's game against the Saints, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Coutee has been able to practice in a limited capacity, but coach Bill O'Brien indicated that the receiver's Week 1 status has yet to be determined. "Touch and go, practiced," O'Brien noted of Coutee. "There's a possibility. He did some decent things. We'll have to see how it goes. It's a long season. It was a pretty significant injury to his ankle." Given that take, Coutee is a pretty risky fantasy lineup option this week, especially with the team playing Monday. If he's unable to go, Kenny Stills and DeAndre Carter would be in line for added snaps against New Orleans.

Coach John Harbaugh said Brown (foot) had no setbacks and will play in Sunday's game against the Dolphins, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.

Brown was added to the injury report Thursday -- albeit as a full participant -- and wasn't spotted by the media at Friday's practice. Harbaugh seems to be hinting that it was part of a maintenance plan related to the rookie wide receiver's Lisfranc surgery in January. Whatever the case, another update should be available Friday afternoon after the Ravens release their final injury report.

Slayton (hamstring) was ruled out for Sunday's game at Dallas.

Slayton has been battling the hamstring injury since July and his absence will extend into the regular season. Cody Core should serve as the Giants' No. 5 wideout in his absence.

Diggs (hamstring) is going through individual drills at Friday's practice, Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com reports.

Held out Wednesday and limited Thursday, the 25-year-old wide receiver at least seems to have a shot at playing in Sunday's season opener against the Falcons. Another update will be available Friday afternoon when the Vikings release their final injury report.

Evans missed Friday's practice due to an illness, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

The end-of-week timing isn't great, but coach Bruce Arians expects Evans to be fine for Sunday's game against the 49ers. It remains to be seen if the Bucs will list the wide receiver as 'questionable' on their final injury report Friday afternoon.

Brown (foot) was not spotted at Friday's practice, according to Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com.

Brown popped up on Thursday's injury report with a foot injury, but he was a full participant in practice, so there was not much cause for concern. However, his absence Friday certainly raises an eyebrow and leaves his availability for Week 1 uncertain. The Ravens will provide an official update on Brown's status when their final injury report of the week comes out.
