Dorsett signed with the Raiders' practice squad Friday.

Dorsett spent the summer with Las Vegas but was part of the team's cuts late last month. Now 32 years old, Dorsett hasn't appeared in a regular-season game since 2023 with the Broncos.

Baker signed with Philadelphia's practice squad Friday.

Baker failed to make New England's 53-man roster in 2025 after a disappointing rookie season in which the 2024 fourth-round pick had just one catch. It would probably take an injury to one of the five healthy wide receivers on Philadelphia's 53-man roster for Baker to get a chance with the Eagles.

Mooney (shoulder) is questionable for Sunday's game against Tampa Bay, with Atlanta head coach Raheem Morris expecting the wideout to be a game-time decision, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

A 1 p.m. ET kickoff is good news for Mooney's fantasy managers, allowing for replacements from 14 different NFL games if the wideout is listed as inactive. The Falcons would have a tougher time replacing him, likely looking to KhaDarel Hodge and/or Casey Washington alongside No. 1 receiver Drake London and slot man Ray-Ray McCloud. Mooney's role is a high-volume one, at least in terms of playing time; the wideout took on 92.3 percent of available snaps in his 16 appearances in 2024. He injured his shoulder on the first day of training camp, missing five weeks before returning to practice near the end of August. The Falcons listed Mooney as a limited participant Wednesday through Friday this week.

Cooper was placed on the reserve/retired list Friday.

Cooper's retirement from the NFL has become official, one day after he informed the Raiders of his plans to hang up his cleats. The 31-year-old wide receiver finishes his career with 10,033 regular-season receiving yards and 64 touchdowns in 10 years split between the Raiders, Cowboys, Browns and Bills.

Shorter was signed to the Raiders' active roster from the practice squad Friday, Tashan Reed of The Athletic reports.

Shorter played wide receiver in college at Florida but attempted to convert to tight end in the NFL. The 2024 fifth-round pick of the Bills played in 10 regular-season games with Buffalo last season but saw action almost exclusively on special teams. Now back at wide receiver, the 6-foot-5 Shorter will provide depth for the Raiders following Thursday's announcement from Amari Cooper that the veteran wideout is retiring.

Dotson caught all three of his targets for 59 yards in Thursday's 24-20 win over the Cowboys.

Most of Dotson's production came on a 51-yard catch in the second quarter, which was enough to make him the team's leading receiver in the Eagles' run-heavy Week 1 win. DeVonta Smith and A.J. Brown combined for just 24 yards on four targets. Those two likely will be more involved moving forward at Dotson's expense, but at least Dotson seems to have a firm grasp on the third spot on the wide receiver depth chart over trade acquisition John Metchie, who wasn't targeted Thursday.

Godwin (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game in Atlanta, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.

Godwin didn't practice this week and seems highly unlikely to play Week 2. Auman and other reporters have said that Godwin is on the active roster so he can practice with teammates later this month, not because the Buccaneers expect him to play in games before October. Neither team nor player have been willing to say as much, with the official word for now simply being that Godwin remains absent from practice and won't play Week 1.

Coleman (groin) will practice in a limited capacity for a third consecutive session Friday, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports.

Head coach Sean McDermott said Friday that he's optimistic Coleman will be available Sunday against the Ravens, per Matt Parrino of Syracuse.com, though McDermott added that Coleman's status will hinge on how the wide receiver looks in Friday's session. Coleman has been experiencing groin soreness dating back to training camp, and it has limited his practice participation leading up to Week 1. He seems likely to get a questionable designation when the Bills post their final Week 1 injury report later in the day, which would leave his fantasy managers in a bind with limited alternatives available since Buffalo plays on Sunday Night Football.

Coach Brian Daboll noted that the Giants will "back down" on Nabers at Friday's practice, with the wideout dealing with some back tightness, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

While it looks like Nabers will be limited to some degree at Friday's practice, Daboll downplayed the issue, noting of the star wideout, "He'll be all right." In any case, Friday's final practice/injury report will determine whether or not Nabers approaches Sunday's season opener against the Commanders with an injury designation.

Coach Mike McDaniel noted Friday that Hill (oblique) is "absolutely" on track to play Sunday against the Colts, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.

The same applies to RB De'Von Achane (calf), with both players having been limited at practice Wednesday and Thursday. Friday's final injury report will reveal whether Hill heads into the weekend with an injury designation or fully cleared for Week 1 action.
