Jordan Whittington WR | LAR
Rams' Jordan Whittington: Questionable to face 49ers
Whittington (back) will be listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the 49ers, Nate Adkins of The Athletic reports.
Whittington is set to practice in a limited fashion Friday, which is a step in the right direction after he was unable to practice Wednesday or Thursday. Blake Corum may get a chance to return kickoffs if Whittington doesn't play Sunday, while Konata Mumpfield and Xavier Smith could see additional snaps at wide receiver.

Brycen Tremayne WR | CAR
Panthers' Brycen Tremayne: Questionable for Sunday
Tremayne (hip) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Saints.
The Stanford product upgraded from a DNP on Thursday to a full practice participant Friday, suggesting he's trending toward playing in Week 10 despite his questionable designation. Tremayne has played a depth role in the Panthers' wide receiver corps this season, catching 10 of 13 targets for for 116 yards over nine games. If he's inactive for Sunday's divisional matchup, Hunter Renfrow could have an expanded role in Carolina's offense.

Cedric Tillman WR | CLE
Browns' Cedric Tillman: Questionable but expected to play
Tillman (hamstring) officially is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Jets, but he's expected to be activated from injured reserve and suit up, Kelsey Russo of the Browns' official site reports.
Tillman has been practicing without limitations, but an official move adding him to the active roster will need to be performed in order for the wide receiver to make his return to game action Sunday. Isaiah Bond (foot) has been ruled out, so Cleveland's wide receiver depth chart consists of Jerry Jeudy, Jamari Thrash, Gage Larvadain and Malachi Corley, pending Tillman's return.

Isaiah Bond WR | CLE
Browns' Isaiah Bond: Won't play this week
Bond (foot) won't play Sunday against the Jets, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.
With Bond sidelined and thus targeting a return to action Sunday, Nov. 16 against the Ravens, fellow WRs Jerry Jeudy, Jamari Thrash and Gage Larvadain are candidates to see added snaps Sunday. Additionally, Cedric Tillman (hamstring, questionable) is expected to be activated off IR ahead of Week 10 action, and if that occurs, he could immediately step into a key role in Cleveland's passing offense.

Kayshon Boutte WR | NE
Patriots' Kayshon Boutte: Ruled out for Sunday
Coach Mike Vrabel said Friday that Boutte (hamstring) will be out for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers.
Boutte thus will target a return to action Thursday night against the Jets. In Boutte's absence, rookie WR Kyle Williams figures to see added snaps Week 10, while Stefon Diggs, DeMario Douglas and Mack Hollins also profile as candidates to handle a portion of the targets that would normally go to Boutte.

Tetairoa McMillan WR | CAR
Panthers' Tetairoa McMillan: Coach concerned by hamstring injury
Panthers head coach Dave Canales acknowledged Friday that there's "concern'" about McMillan's hamstring after something "popped up" during Friday's practice, Alex Zietlow of The Charlotte Observer reports.
McMillan was added to the injury report Friday, listed as a limited participant in practice with a 'questionable' designation for Sunday's game against New Orleans. Canales said McMillan took a few practice reps after first noticing discomfort, but the wideout was then shut down for the rest of the day. The Panthers will evaluate McMillan on Saturday morning, at which point the team may or may not share any new information. Canales didn't make it sound like the hamstring injury is serious, but he did seem to acknowledge doubt about McMillan's Week 10 availability.

Cedric Tillman WR | CLE
Browns' Cedric Tillman: Expected to come off IR
Browns coach Kevin Stefanski said Friday that he expects Tillman (hamstring) to be activated off injured reserve and suit up Sunday against the Jets, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.
Cleveland still has to officially activate Tillman, but all signs point to the wide receiver returning for his first action since Week 4. Tillman's likely to jump right back into a starting role against a Jets defense that traded away top cornerback Sauce Gardner on Tuesday. Fellow Browns wideout Isaiah Bond (foot) is expected to sit out.

D'Wayne Eskridge WR | MIA
Dolphins' Dee Eskridge: Ruled out versus Bills
Eskridge (shoulder) won't play Sunday against the Bills, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.
Eskridge played through this shoulder injury in Week 9 against the Ravens but will sit out Week 10 after being unable to practice all week. His next chance to suit up will come against the Commanders in Week 11.

Pat Bryant WR | DEN
Broncos' Pat Bryant: One grab in win
Bryant caught one of two targets for 43 yards in Thursday's 10-7 win over the Raiders.
Bryant played 30 of the Broncos' 61 offensive snaps Thursday, behind fellow wideouts Courtland Sutton (53) and Troy Franklin (45). The rookie operated as the Broncos' No. 3 wide receiver, yet his 43-yard reception was his lone contribution in the game as a pass catcher. That one play resulted in Bryant leading the team in receiving yards against the Raiders on a day when Denver's offense struggled and quarterback Bo Nix threw for just 150 yards. Though it is clear the Broncos' coaching staff is seeing enough out of the Illinois product to give him more looks, he should not trusted for consistent fantasy production each week with so many mouths to feed in Denver. Barring injuries, Bryant is best left out of fantasy lineups heading into a Week 11 matchup again the Chiefs.

Tetairoa McMillan WR | CAR
Panthers' Tetairoa McMillan: Added to report as questionable
McMillan was added to the injury report Friday with a hamstring issue, and he's listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Saints, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.
McMillan was a limited practice participant Friday, after not being listed on the report at all Wednesday or Thursday. Panthers head coach Dave Canales told Person that the hamstring injury "popped up" Friday.
