Boston (foot) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Titans, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports.

Boston played through the same injury last week and took 92 percent of Cleveland's snaps on offense in a 13-10 win over the Ravens. He caught just one of five targets for 15 yards, showing the downside of being a deep threat in an offense with poor QB play.

Concepcion (calf/quadriceps) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Titans, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports.

Neither does fellow Browns wideout Denzel Boston, who has been limited in practice with a foot injury. There's been no indication that either WR was ever in serious danger of missing Sunday's game, so normal workloads can be expected unless there's an in-game setback.

Rice (hamstring/knee) was not present during the portion of Friday's practice open to the media, Pete Sweeney of The Kansas City Star reports.

Rice hasn't practiced since going down with his hamstring injury in Week 4 against the Raiders, so he's going to miss Sunday's game against the Seahawks. Xavier Worthy, Jalen Royals, Cyrus Allen and Nikko Remigio are on the 53-man roster at wide receiver, but the Chiefs elevated both Andrew Armstrong and Justin Watson last Sunday against the Chargers.

Egbuka (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Panthers, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.

Buccaneers coach Todd Bowles said Egbuka was doubtful to play, but the official designation is more definitive. Chris Godwin, Ted Hurst and Tez Johnson figure to take most of the WR snaps this Sunday at Carolina.

Egbuka (concussion) is doubtful for Sunday's game against the Panthers, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.

Egbuka is still working his way through the league's concussion protocol, so Tampa Bay appears set to head into Week 7 with Chris Godwin, rookie Ted Hurst and Tez Johnson leading the wideout corps. Cade Otton could also see a bump in targets with Egbuka out of the picture.

Ridley (hip) will not practice Friday and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Cleveland, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.

Ridley and Elic Ayomanor have been splitting WR snaps alongside No. 1 receiver Carnell Tate and slot man Wan'Dale Robinson. If Ridley were to miss Sunday's game, Ayomanor presumably would take on more playing time.

Egbuka (concussion/foot) is practicing Friday, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.

Egbuka didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday, but there is still some chance he quickly makes his way through concussion protocol. The toe injury seems like less of a threat to his Week 7 availability this Sunday against Carolina.

Dolphins coach Jeff Hafley said Friday that Douglas (ankle) will play Sunday against the Jets, C. Isaiah Smalls II of the Miami Herald reports.

The rookie wideout hasn't played since Week 2 due to an ankle sprain. He'll return to a wideout corps that has been featuring Malik Washington and fellow rookies Chris Bell and Kevin Coleman as its three-wide set. Douglas should push Bell for an every-down role alongside Washington, bumping Coleman down the depth chart. Only Washington is a reliable fantasy option in 12-team leagues.

Jets coach Aaron Glenn said Friday that Mitchell (finger) will play Sunday against the Dolphins, Brian Costello of the New York Post reports.

After missing the Jets' last four games, Mitchell will return to the lineup for New York's divisional matchup with Miami. It's unclear at this point what Mitchell's return to the lineup will mean for rookie Omar Cooper, as the two have been healthy and available for a total of five snaps together this season. The Dolphins have been good against opposing wide receivers, mainly because other teams have just been able to run on them voluminously in positive game scripts.

The calf injury Nacua sustained Thursday is believed to be "more minor than anything else" and "not significant," Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Nacua left Thursday's practice with the calf issue, and tests performed afterward appear to have indicated he did not sustain a serious injury. The report notes that Nacua's availability for Week 7 remains uncertain, but the Rams will presumably provide an official update on both his short- and long-term status at some point Friday.
