Samuel (heel) is listed as a limited participant on Friday's practice report.

The Commanders didn't actually practice Friday but estimate that Samuel would've participated if they had. He played through the same injury last week, catching eight of 11 targets for 96 yards and a touchdown in a game where no other Commander got more than two targets. Samuel likely will play again Monday against the Bears.

Lamb (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Panthers, Clarence Hill Jr. of AllDLLS.com reports.

He still hasn't practice since suffering a high-ankle sprain in a Week 3 loss to the Bears. With Lamb and KaVontae Turpin (foot) both ruled out again, the Cowboys figure to deploy George Pickens, Jalen Tolbert and Ryan Flournoy as their top three wide receivers.

Mooney (hamstring) didn't practice Friday, Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com reports.

Mooney made an early exit Week 4 and still isn't ready to practice after a Week 5 bye. Falcons coach Raheem Morris said the wideout is day-to-day, but there's not much cause for optimism as it pertains to Monday's matchup with Buffalo. Casey Washington played 95 percent of Atlanta's snaps when Mooney was inactive back in Week 1, catching three of six targets for 33 yards in a loss to Tampa Bay.

McLaurin (quadriceps) is listed as a non-participant on Friday's practice report.

Friday's report is an estimate, as the Commanders didn't actually practice. If McLaurin doesn't return to practice Saturday, he'll likely be listed as out/doubtful for Monday's game against Chicago.

Raymond (neck) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Chiefs, Justin Rogers of Detroit Football Network reports.

Raymond was limited in practice Thursday and Friday after kicking off Week 6 prep with a DNP. If healthy enough to play Sunday night, Raymond should continue to provide depth at wide receiver while working as Detroit's primary punt returner.

Jennings (ankle/rib) is practicing Friday, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Jennings returned to practice Thursday as a limited participant and is now suited up again Friday. Fellow 49ers wideout Ricky Pearsall (knee) isn't practicing, nor is QB Brock Purdy (toe).

Pearsall (knee) isn't practicing Friday, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Pearsall hasn't practiced this week and isn't likely to play Sunday at Tampa Bay.

Wilson (knee) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Chargers, Travis Wingfield of the Dolphins' official site reports.

Wilson upgraded to a full practice Friday after beginning the week with consecutive limited sessions, suggesting he's moved past his knee injury in time to face the Chargers on Sunday. The veteran wideout was signed off the Saints' practice squad in late September and has yet to play this season. He'll likely play a reserve role in Miami's wide-receiver corps in Week 6.

Austin (shoulder) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Browns after not practicing this week.

Austin was forced out of a Week 4 win over the Vikings after logging 27 snaps and catching both of his targets for 13 yards, and he'll target a potential return to action next Thursday night against the Bengals. In Austin's absence this weekend, Ben Skowronek, Scotty Miller and Roman Wilson are candidates to see added opportunities behind WR1 DK Metcalf.

Metchie saw the field for just three offensive snaps and did not catch a pass in Thursday's loss to the Giants.

Despite trailing for the entirety of the second half, the Eagles rarely put enough wide receivers on the field for Metchie, the fourth wideout on the depth chart, to see any action. He now has a total of four catches across his first six games with the team.
