Bateman (calf) was listed as a full participant on Friday's practice estimation.

After being limited at practice Thursday, the starting wideout is in line to face the Chargers on Monday night after being deemed 'FP' on Friday. While Bateman has turned in two consecutive one-catch efforts, there's a chance that working with the team's new QB Jacoby Brissett could spark some added production for the 2021 first-rounder while working alongside top WR Zay Flowers.

Daniels (Achilles) does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Chiefs, Will McFadden of the Falcons' official site reports.

Daniels popped up on Thursday's practice report as a limited participant due to an Achilles injury, but his full session Friday was enough for him to avoid an injury tag for Sunday's home game. The rookie fourth-rounder has accumulated 61 tackles (41 solo), including 1.0 sacks, two pass defenses (including one interception) and one fumble recovery through nine regular-season games.

Harmon (foot) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bengals, Nick Farabaugh of PennLive.com reports.

Harmon missed the Steelers' four games prior to the Week 9 bye while on injured reserve due to a foot injury. He was cleared to return to practice Wednesday and ended Week 10 prep with a full session Friday, but he would need to be activated from IR in order to be available for Sunday's AFC North showdown. Harmon's return would bolster the Steelers' defensive line behind Yahya Black, Keeanu Benton and Cameron Heyward.

Emerson (shin) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Saints, Ross Jackson of WWL-TV reports.

Emerson's practice reps were limited during Week 10 prep due to a shin injury. He was able to play through the injury in Week 9 against the Browns, and he finished that contest with two solo tackles in a 23-22 overtime win for the Saints. Second-year pro Quincy Riley would likely be the next man up at outside cornerback opposite Kool-Aid McKinstry if Emerson is unable to play Sunday.

Harris (calf) was a full participant in Friday's practice.

After being limited the day before, Harris erased any doubt about his availability for Monday's game at Baltimore. He saw a team-high seven targets on a 79 percent route share last week, catching three passes for a mere six yards in the 44-22 loss to Houston. Harris' volume projection for Week 10 partially depends on Ladd McConkey (back), who didn't play any snaps last week and didn't practice Thursday or Friday.

Head coach Joe Brady confirmed Friday that Hooker will play Sunday against the Jets, Sal Capaccio of WGR Sports Radio 550 Buffalo reports.

Hooker was one of several players who changed teams before Tuesday's trade deadline, with the Titans sending the veteran safety and a 2027 fifth-round pick to the Bills in exchange for a 2027 second-round pick. Hooker's addition bolsters a Bills defense that ranks 29th in the NFL in passing yards allowed per game (238.8) this season. It's unclear whether he'll start alongside Cole Bishop immediately or operate in a rotational role in the secondary in his Bills debut.

Burton (calf) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Houston, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.

Burton injured his calf during the Browns' Week 9 overtime loss to the Saints. He was cleared to return in that contest but was unable to practice during Week 10 prep. The Browns do not have another fullback on the 53-man active roster nor the practice squad, so they may have to utilize tight end Blake Whiteheart as a backfield blocker. Burton will have additional time to rest courtesy of the Browns' Week 11 bye, and his next opportunity to play is Week 12 against the Raiders on Sunday, Nov. 29.

Mitchell (hip) remained limited at practice Friday.

It's a new injury for Mitchell, who also was limited Thursday when the Chargers filed their first practice report for the upcoming Monday night game at Baltimore. He'll have some extra motivation, facing his former team in primetime as his current team seeks its first win of the season.

McConkey (back) didn't practice Friday.

McConkey -- who dealt with back spasms last Sunday and as a result didn't log any snaps in the 0-8 Chargers' loss to the Texans, has now missed back-to-back practices, so what he's able to do Saturday will be pivotal with regard to his status for Monday night's game against the Ravens. If McConkey is unavailable for the contest, Quentin Johnston, Tre' Harris and KeAndre Lambert-Smith would be in line to head Los Angeles' WR corps, as they did versus Houston.

Hickman (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Texans, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.

Hickman entered the league's concussion protocol following the Browns' 23-22 overtime loss to the Saints in Week 9, when he recorded nine tackles (four solo) and two pass defenses. He was unable to practice in any capacity during Week 10 prep, and his absence means rookie second-rounder Emmanuel McNeil-Warren will likely start alongside Grant Delpit at safety, with Daniel Thomas and Donovan McMillon both providing depth at the position. The Browns are on a bye for Week 11, so Hickman will have additional time to progress through the five-step concussion protocol before Week 12 against the Raiders on Sunday, Nov. 29.
