Pittman (back) was present for practice Friday, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.

Pittman was a non-participant both Wednesday and Thursday, so his presence on the field Friday is notable, considering previous reports that the wideout could miss multiple weeks with a back issue. Friday's final injury report thus is slated to reveal whether Pittman heads into the weekend with any chance of facing the Titans on Sunday.

Nabers (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bengals, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

Nabers hasn't practiced since suffering a concussion in a Thursday loss to the Cowboys on Sept. 26. He's been doing some physical activity this week, but reports didn't exactly hint at much progress, suggesting he did less Thursday than Wednesday. He'll apparently be on the side field again Friday, per Dan Duggan of The Athletic, with the Giants seemingly hoping for a return to actual practices next week ahead of an Oct. 20 game against the Eagles. Jalin Hyatt took most of Nabers' usual snaps in last week's 29-20 win at Seattle, but it was regular starter Darius Slayton who came up big from a production standpoint, catching eight of 11 targets for 122 yards and a TD. Slayton and Wan'Dale Robinson figure to remain the top targets for Daniel Jones in a Sunday night matchup with the Bengals.

Shenault returned a kickoff 97 yards for a touchdown in Thursday's 36-24 loss to the 49ers. He finished with 189 return yards.

Shenault lost a fumble on a kickoff return earlier in the game, but he made up for the mistake with a key kickoff return touchdown in the second quarter to keep the Seahawks in the game. The 2020 second-round pick has just four catches for 26 yards this season, but his special-teams acumen will remain beneficial for the Seahawks.

Bobo caught two of four targets for 18 yards in Thursday's 36-24 loss to the 49ers.

Both of Bobo's receptions came late in the fourth quarter while the Seahawks were trailing. Bobo's four targets ranked sixth among Seahawks pass catchers, and he'll continue to provide limited fantasy appeal.

Aiyuk secured two of four targets for 37 yards in the 49ers' 36-24 win over the Seahawks on Thursday night.

On the heels of a season-best eight-catch, 147-yard line in Week 5, Aiyuk disappointingly regressed to the mean just four days later. Outside of the aforementioned breakout performance, Aiyuk hasn't topped 48 receiving yards or five receptions in any of his other five games. Nevertheless, Aiyuk projects to be busier in a Week 7 Super Bowl rematch against the Chiefs on Sunday, Oct. 20, a game where Brock Purdy will likely have to put up more than Thursday night's 28 attempts.

Smith-Njigba brought in five of nine targets for 53 yards and committed a fumble recovered by Seattle in the Seahawks' 36-24 loss to the 49ers on Thursday night.

Smith-Njigba got off to a slow start, but he finished third in both receptions and receiving yards and second in targets by night's end. The second-year wideout has enjoyed a robust role in offensive coordinator Ryan Grubb's system on most weeks thus far, logging at least seven targets in three straight games and four occasions overall. Smith-Njigba also has at least four receptions in three consecutive contests heading into a Week 7 road matchup against the Falcons on Sunday, Oct. 20.

Metcalf secured three of 11 targets for 48 yards in the Seahawks' 36-24 loss to the 49ers on Thursday night.

Metcalf's team-high target share largely went for naught, though it's worth noting that the wideout had a one-handed catch for 52 yards overturned by an illegal-shift penalty. The 2019 second-round pick put together three consecutive 100-yard tallies in Weeks 2-4, but he's now generated back-to-back sub-60-yard efforts over a four-day period. Metcalf's next opportunity to get back on track comes in a Week 7 road matchup against the Falcons on Sunday, Oct. 20.

Lockett secured four of eight targets for 65 yards and a touchdown in the Seahawks' 36-24 loss to the 49ers on Thursday night.

Lockett's receiving yardage total paced the Seahawks on the night, and he was also the only Seattle pass catcher to find the end zone. The veteran receiver's impressive nine-yard grab in the back of the end zone late in the fourth quarter gave the Seahawks brief hope by narrowing their deficit to five points and also served as Lockett's first touchdown of the campaign. The 10th-year pro heads into a Week 7 road matchup against the Falcons with a four-game streak of at least four receptions and six targets.

Samuel brought in three of five targets for 102 yards and a touchdown, rushed four times for 15 yards and returned two kickoffs for 52 yards in the 49ers' 36-24 win over the Seahawks on Thursday night.

Samuel was coming off a disappointing one-catch, 11-yard performance against the Cardinals four days earlier, but his 76-yard touchdown reception early in the second quarter ensured he'd have a much better fantasy night Thursday. Samuel would end up adding another two grabs for 26 yards, allowing him to narrowly post his second 100-yard effort of the campaign. Samuel's rush-attempt total was also his highest since Week 1, and he could be even busier in a Week 7 home showdown against the Chiefs on Sunday, Oct. 20.

McAllister (shoulder) was a full participant in practice Thursday.

The wide receiver was a limited participant Wednesday after missing the Raiders' Week 5 loss to the Broncos. McAllister has appeared in two games and on four offensive snaps this season. The rookie has yet to catch a pass, though he does have two carries for 11 yards.
