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.

Hill signed a three-year, $54 million extension with the Chiefs on Friday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Hill had a rocky offseason and was even banned from the Chiefs for a period due to legal issues stemming from domestic incidents involving his son, but he ultimately was cleared by both authorities and the NFL, and he and the Chiefs now have decided to extend their partnership further into the future.

Beckham (hip) took part in Friday's practice, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

Beckham was listed on Thursday's injury report with a hip injury, but he was a full participant in practice and was back out there Friday, so it doesn't appear he's dealing with anything that will cause concern about his availability for Week 1. The Browns will reveal Beckham's official status for Sunday's season opener against the Titans when they release their final injury report of the week.

Wims failed to record a reception in Chicago's 10-3 loss to Green Bay on Thursday.

Wims saw playing time in the second half when the Bears were trying to mount a comeback, but he was unable to connect with Mitch Trubisky on either of his two targets. For now, he doesn't project to see much volume in the Chicago passing attack, giving him very little fantasy value.

Parker is listed as the top wide receiver on Miami's depth chart, Alain Poupart of the team's official site reports.

Parker will suit up as one of Miami's top wideouts versus the Ravens on Sunday, working alongside Albert Wilson (hip) and Jakeem Grant. With Kenny Stills having been traded to the Texans prior to the start of the regular season, Parker appears on track for an increased role in Miami's aerial attack. He'll work to connect with quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick against a stout Baltimore defense Week 1, and the 2016 first-round pick should benefit from plenty of target opportunities.

Grant is listed as one of Miami's three starting wide receivers, Alain Poupart of the team's official site reports.

Grant appears to be a huge benefactor of Kenny Stills being traded to the Texans, as he now slots into the starting lineup alongside DeVante Parker and Albert Wilson (hip). The 2016 sixth-round pick has done most of his damage as a return man in his last three seasons with the Dolphins, and will now work to translate his big-play talent into a regular starting role. Undrafted rookie Preston Williams could conceivably push Grant for snaps as the season progresses, but it appears that the No. 3 role will be Grant's to lose Week 1 against Baltimore.

Robinson brought in seven of 13 targets for 102 yards in the Bears' 10-3 loss to the Packers on Thursday.

Robinson's receiving yardage and targets were both game-high figures, with the talented wideout garnering the majority of his numbers in the second half. The 26-year-old made three catches over a two-drive stretch in the fourth quarter and was also the intended receiver on Mitchell Trubisky's end-zone interception with 1:58 remaining. Robinson's usage was highly encouraging, and the fact he was able to eclipse the 100-yard mark for only the second time as a Bear was certainly a bonus for fantasy managers. Robinson will look to capitalize on what should be at least a slightly more cohesive passing attack in a Week 2 battle against the Broncos a week from Sunday.

Adams brought in four of eight targets for 36 yards in the Packers' 10-3 win over the Bears on Thursday.

To label Adams' final line a disappointment would be a significant understatement, as the 26-year-old generated a mediocre 50.0 percent catch rate while notching a game-long reception of just 11 yards. Adams' yardage total was his lowest since Week 7 of the 2017 season, a testament to how underwhelming his performance was. Naturally, the caliber of coverage Adams faced does have to be taken into account, as does the relentless pressure Aaron Rodgers faced on many of his dropbacks. Adams will look to churn out a much more productive effort in another tough matchup in Week 2 against the Vikings.

Valdes-Scantling brought in four of six targets for 52 yards and rushed once for no gain in the Packers' 10-3 win over the Bears on Thursday.

Valdes-Scantling dealt with some cramping during the second half, but that was preceded by a key 47-yard second-quarter grab that set up the only touchdown of the night for either team. The 2018 fifth-round pick is expected to take a significant leap forward in Year 2, with both his talent and the opportunity to serve as a starting receiver in an Aaron Rodgers-helmed offense expected to key his improvement. Valdes-Scantling will look to build on his season-opening numbers when the Packers face off with the Vikings during a Week 2 battle a week from Sunday.

Valdes-Scantling (cramps) returned to Thursday's game.

Valdes-Scantling exited the game in the fourth quarter with cramps, but made an appearance on the Packers' final drive. Given cramps are usually a temporary issue, his practice status for the coming week should not be threatened, especially with a long week ahead.
