Jennings (ankle/rib) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at Tampa Bay, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

After missing Week 5, Jennings returned to practice Thursday and Friday as a limited participant, giving him a chance to suit up Week 6. Teammates Brock Purdy (toe) and Ricky Pearsall (knee) have been ruled out, while QB Mac Jones (oblique/knee) joins Jennings with a questionable designation ahead of Sunday's 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff. Kendrick Bourne, Demarcus Robinson and Marquez Valdes-Scantling are the likely beneficiaries if Jennings doesn't end up playing or is limited.

Pearsall (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game at Tampa Bay, David Lombardi of SFStandard.com reports.

Pearsall hasn't practiced since Week 4, when he played through a PCL injury but wasn't able to finish out a loss to the Jaguars. Fellow 49ers wideout Jauan Jennings (ankle) also missed Week 5 but could return this Sunday to face the Buccaneers (he's listed as questionable after practicing Thursday and Friday). Either way, Kendrick Bourne figures to get a lot of playing time again, with Demarcus Robinson and Marquez Valdes-Scantling also in the mix for routes.

Brown (shoulder) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Seahawks, Demetrius Harvey of the Florida Times-Union reports.

Brown was limited in all three of Jacksonville's practices, but his availability for Sunday's game isn't in doubt. He has cooled off after exceeding 50 receiving yards in each of his first two games with the Jaguars, and Brown's target share is likely to fluctuate moving forward given the presence of Brian Thomas, Travis Hunter and Parker Washington in Jacksonville's deep wide receiver room.

Jones (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at Indianapolis, Bo Brack of GoPHNX.com reports.

Jones' practice reps were capped during the entirety of Week 6 prep due to a knee injury, and his status for Sunday will be clarified about 90 minutes before a 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff. If Jones is able to suit up, who will be under center for the Cardinals is up in the air considering Kyler Murray (foot) managed just one limited practice this week and is listed as questionable. Jacoby Brissett will get the nod at quarterback if Murray is inactive.

Turpin (foot) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Panthers.

Turpin will miss a second consecutive game due to a foot injury he suffered Week 4 against the Packers. He has yet to practice since sustaining the injury. Jaydon Blue and Jalen Tolbert are expected to return kickoffs and punts, respectively, in Turpin's absence.

Flowers (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Rams, Brian Wacker of the Baltimore Sun reports.

Flowers was limited in all three of Baltimore's practices prior to being tagged with a questionable designation for Week 6. Even if Flowers plays, he would be catching passes from backup quarterback Cooper Rush, as Lamar Jackson (hamstring) has been ruled out for a second consecutive game.

Corley (groin) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Steelers, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports.

Corley upgraded to full participation Friday following a pair of limited practices. The 2024 third-round draft pick of the Jets played 12 snaps on offense in his Browns debut against the Vikings this past Sunday in London, turning his only touch into an 11-yard carry.

Collins didn't get a target Thursday in a 34-17 win over the Eagles.

The Giants were playing without wideouts Malik Nabers (knee, out for the season) and Darius Slayton (hamstring) on Thursday, so there was some expectation that Collins would be asked to step into a bigger role. Instead, Collins logged only four offensive snaps while practice-squad elevation Lil'Jordan Humphrey worked as New York's No. 2 wideout with a 77 percent snap share. Jalin Hyatt (29 offensive snaps) also was above Collins in the pecking order, and the latter's participation level was his lowest since he played exclusively on special teams Week 2 versus Dallas. With that in mind, Collins doesn't appear to be moving up the Giants' depth chart even given the team's injuries at the wideout position, so he's probably not worth a roster spot in almost all fantasy formats.

Brown (groin) is listed as a limited participant on Friday's practice estimate.

Brown returned to practice Wednesday after missing the past three games. He was listed as a limited participant Thursday, and he'll have another chance to practice Saturday before the Commanders make a decision on his availability for Monday's game against the Bears. Brown may start if he's active, as Terry McLaurin (quad) still hasn't returned to practice.

Hyatt caught three of five targets for 17 yards in Week 6 during Thursday's 34-17 win over Philadelphia.

With Malik Nabers (knee) out for the season and Darius Slayton (hamstring) inactive for Week 6, Hyatt by default was called upon for a bigger role. Hyatt still put up a modest stat line, though he did reel in catches on back-to-back plays during a second-quarter drive that ultimately ended in a touchdown. However, Hyatt was out-snapped by a 53-29 margin by practice-squad elevation Lil'Jordan Humphrey, who finished with a 4-55-0 line on a team-leading eight targets. That's not a good sign of New York's level of faith in Hyatt, who could fade further out of the picture if Slayton is able to return to action Week 7 against Denver.
