Williams (hamstring) was a limited practice participant Friday and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at Green Bay.

In a somewhat surprising turn of events, Williams now technically has a chance to return to action in Week 5 after drawing the questionable tag. However, coach Ben Johnson already announced Tyson Bagent as the Bears' starting quarterback for Sunday's contest, so it remains to be seen if Williams actually has a chance to take over No. 1 duties himself, merely serve as the backup or be available in an emergency capacity.

Swift (hip/knee) was a full participant in Friday's practice and doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Packers.

With Swift progressing from a non-participant Wednesday to limited Thursday and full Friday, he appears set to lead Chicago's backfield in Week 5, especially after Kyle Monangai (toe) was ruled out and deemed week-to-week. Swift should be in line for a significant boost in snaps and touches with Monangai out of the picture against Green Bay, though Roschon Johnson will certainly be a factor, just maybe not to the extent Monangai had been out of Chicago's backfield.

Nailor (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game at New England, ESPN's Paul Gutierrez reports.

Nailor was concussed during a Week 4 loss to Kansas City and didn't practice at all in the lead up to Week 5. In Nailor's absence, Cody White is the favorite to get most of the WR snaps alongside Tre Tucker, with Dareke Young and Malik Benson also on hand for depth. The Raiders mostly work from two-TE formations to keep Brock Bowers and Michael Mayer on the field.

Stevenson (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Raiders.

After logging limited practice listings throughout the week, Stevenson gets the dreaded questionable tag headed into Sunday. While the running back said himself that he's ready to play, coach Mike Vrabel refused to commit to Stevenson playing against Las Vegas. TreVeyon Henderson would be set up for a big increase in snaps and touches if Stevenson is unable to play.

Shough (left hand) practiced fully Friday and doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game against the Vikings, Emily Leiker of The Minnesota Star Tribune reports.

Shough opened the week with a limited walkthrough Wednesday due to a left hand injury, but he didn't endure any restrictions Thursday and Friday and thus is good to go for Week 5. He currently ranks third in the NFL in passing yards per game with 300.8, which he's supplemented with a 9:3 TD:INT through four contests.

Moore (shoulder) was not on the field for the start of Friday's practice open to the media, Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic reports.

Moore has logged back-to-back DNPs to start Week 5 prep, but he does have an extra day to get ready, with the Bills and Rams not kicking off until Monday night. However, fantasy managers are going to need to have a backup plan in place if Moore doesn't get the green light to play after he aggravated his shoulder injury in last Sunday's loss to the Patriots. Dalton Kincaid, Khalil Shakir, Keon Coleman and Joshua Palmer would all be in line for elevated roles in the passing game if Moore ends up inactive.

Olave (foot) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Vikings, Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football reports.

After being limited Thursday due to a foot issue, Olave's full participation Friday clears up his status for Week 5. The NFL's leader in targets (48) has a tough test against Minnesota's aggressive defense, but the Saints can't run the ball and have been forced to dial up the pass at a high clip through four games. Olave is a lock-and-load WR1 every week.

Addison (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game in New Orleans, Alec Lewis of The Athletic reports.

Addison was held out of Wednesday's practice due to a sore hamstring, but he was a limited participant in his return to drills Thursday and again was spotted on the field Friday before head coach Kevin O'Connell termed both Addison and Justin Jefferson (ankle) questionable for Week 5 action. Both players statuses will receive clarity about 90 minutes before Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff.

Kamara (back) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Vikings, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.

Kamara exited last Monday night's game briefly with a knee injury, and he then popped up on this week's injury report with a back issue, getting in limited practices. The veteran doesn't need to practice much in order to play, but if he's not cleared for Sunday, Kendre Miller and CJ Donaldson would be next in line for backfield snaps for New Orleans, as Travis Etienne (hamstring) remains on injured reserve for at least three more weeks.

Jefferson (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at New Orleans.

The same can be said for fellow WR Jordan Addison (hamstring). Jefferson himself is looking to miss just one game due to an ankle injury that he picked up in a Week 3 win at Tampa Bay, and his status will be confirmed, one way or another, about 90 minutes before Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff.
