  • Josh Palmer WR | BUF

    Bills' Joshua Palmer: Questionable to return

    Palmer is questionable to return to Monday's game against Atlanta due to an ankle injury, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.

    Palmer had his leg twisted awkwardly while being tackled on a catch early in the second quarter. He was able to walk off the field under his own power and was evaluated in the medical tent. Palmer has since been spotted running up and down the sideline, though it's unclear if he'll be able to return to Monday's contest.

  • Josh Palmer WR | BUF

    Bills' Joshua Palmer: Dealing with lower-body inury

    Palmer is being evaluated for an apparent lower-body injury during Monday's game against the Falcons, Jay Skurski of The Buffalo Newsreports.

    Palmer made a catch over the middle of the field early in the second quarter and was dragged down awkwardly. The injury looked to be serious, but he walked off the field under his own power and was spotted jogging on the sideline following an examination in the blue tent, per Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic. An exact diagnosis remains unclear.

  • Deebo Samuel WR | WAS

    Commanders' Deebo Samuel: Active in Week 6

    Samuel (heel) is listed as active Monday against the Bears.

    Samuel has been dealing with a bruised heel for two weeks running, and the issue capped him to just one limited practice (Friday) during Week 6 prep. Coach Dan Quinn told Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post on Saturday that the Commanders were going to "take it into Monday" regarding Samuel, and his status now has been confirmed as the team posts its list of inactives. Despite playing through the pain in a Week 5 win at the Chargers, Samuel paced Washington wide receivers in offensive snap share (78 percent) on his way to an 8-96-1 line on 11 targets. With both Terry McLaurin (quadriceps) and Noah Brown (groin/knee) out yet again, Samuel is positioned to serve as QB Jayden Daniels' top pass catcher for a second straight game.

  • Rashee Rice WR | KC

    Chiefs' Rashee Rice: Suspension lifted

    Rice's suspension has been lifted by the NFL, per the league's official transaction log, which paves the way for the wideout to be available for Sunday's game against the Raiders.

    While the Chiefs have been granted a roster exemption for Rice that expires Oct. 20 and thus will need to officially activate him by Saturday in order for him to play Week 7, at this time there's no reason to believe that won't occur. The looming return of Rice should provide a major boost to the offense of the 3-3 Chiefs, and assuming no issues at practice this week, the 2023 second-rounder should immediately step into a prominent role in a WR corps that also includes Xavier Worthy, Hollywood Brown, JuJu Smith-Schuster and Tyquan Thornton.

  • 49ers' Brandon Aiyuk: Still no timetable to practice

    Coach Kyle Shanahan said Monday that Aiyuk (knee) is getting "closer and closer" to being able to practice, but the 49ers don't have a specific timeline for the wide receiver to do so, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

    Aiyuk remains in recovery mode from the ACL and MCL tears that he suffered in his right knee Week 7 of last season, instead residing on the reserve/PUP list to this point in the campaign. Per David Lombardi of SFStandard.com, Shanahan added, "I always look around Week 10, but I'm not putting an exact date on it." As of Week 6, Aiyuk's only notable on-field work occurred in mid-September, when he was seen running while fellow 49ers wide receivers worked in individual drills, per Wagoner.

  • 49ers' Ricky Pearsall: Could practice Wednesday

    Coach Kyle Shanahan said Monday that Pearsall (knee) will be evaluated Wednesday to see if he'll be able to practice this week, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

    Pearsall has missed two weeks of practice since injuring the PCL in his right knee Week 4 against the Jaguars, but like QB Brock Purdy, the wide receiver resumed conditioning work on the side last Thursday, indicating that he's making progress in his recovery. Wednesday's practice report will reveal whether or not Pearsall was able to mix into drills, but the 49ers appear to be getting healthier, with Purdy and TE George Kittle (hamstring) all potentially returning to practice in the near future.

  • Garrett Wilson WR | NYJ

    Jets' Garrett Wilson: Could miss a couple of weeks

    An MRI revealed that Wilson suffered a hyperextended knee Sunday, with the wideout reportedly expected to miss a couple of weeks, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.

    Confirmation from the team has yet to come, but at a minimum it looks like the Jets are in line to be without their top pass catcher this weekend against the Panthers. If that's the case, Josh Reynolds, Arian Smith, Allen Lazard (personal) and Tyler Johnson would be candidates to see added WR reps in Wilson's absence.

  • Antwane Wells: Rejoins Giants' practice squad

    New York signed Wells to the practice squad Monday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

    Wells spent the offseason with New York but was cut in advance of Week 1. He and Giants starting quarterback Jaxson Dart demonstrated clear chemistry during their time together at Ole Miss, and given that New York is in need of added playmakers at the wide receiver position with Malik Nabers (ACL) done for the year, it's conceivable that Wells could earn an opportunity to make an impact.

  • Elijah Moore WR | BUF

    Bills' Elijah Moore: Active against Atlanta

    Moore is active for Monday night's game against the Falcons.

    Moore was healthy inactive in the Week 5 Sunday night loss to New England, but with Curtis Samuel (neck) out Monday night, Moore will draw back into the lineup. Moore has four catches for 64 scoreless yards this season.

  • Falcons' Ray-Ray McCloud: Deemed inactive against Buffalo

    McCloud (coach's decision) is inactive for Monday night's game against the Bills.

    Even with Darnell Mooney (hamstring) ruled out, McCloud will be a healthy inactive against Buffalo. It's pretty surprising considering the Falcons' lack of proven wide receivers behind Drake London, but Atlanta will roll with Casey Washington, David Sills, KhaDarel Hodge and Jamal Agnew behind London versus Buffalo.
