Samuel (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Raiders, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

Neither Samuel nor Mike Evans (Achilles) made a serious bid to play in San Francisco's first game after a Week 8 bye. Jordan Watkins, Brandin Cooks and Jacob Cowing are the healthy WRs on the active roster, with Demarcus Robinson (ankle) a candidate to come off injured reserve this week or next.

Kincaid (chest) was a full participant in Friday's practice.

Sal Capaccio of WGR Sports Radio 550 Buffalo previously noted that Kincaid had shed his red non-contact jersey at Friday's practice, and the tight end's full participation in the session paves the way for him to be in uniform Monday night against the Vikings. Over his last two games, Kincaid (who overall is tied for first among Bills in catches (27) and leads the team in receiving yards (401)) has logged an 11-124-1 receiving line, a pace that keeps him relevant from a fantasy perspective.

Moore (shoulder) was a limited practice participant Friday.

Moore has managed an AC joint sprain for most of the season, typically practicing in a non-contact jersey. He'll likely be ready for Monday's game at Minnesota, coming off a 4-82-1 receiving line (seven targets) in last week's 36-10 win over Baltimore.

Coach Sean Payton said Friday that Bryant (ankle) is in line to play in Sunday's game against the Panthers, Chris Tomasson of the Denver Gazette reports.

Though Bryant, who was designated to return from IR on Wednesday, is officially listed as questionable ahead Week 9 action, he practiced fully all week and is thus slated to be activated no later than Saturday, at which point his injury designation could be removed. If he is indeed in uniform this weekend, he'll have an opportunity to reclaim a key role in a Denver WR corps that has thus far been led by Jaylen Waddle and Courtland Sutton.

Garrett (knee) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Commanders, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

Garrett didn't practice Friday, but the Rams are planning to activate him from injured reserve Saturday, allowing the veteran edge rusher to play Week 9. It will be a much-needed boost to the Rams' inferior pass rush.

Shaheed (knee) is listed as out for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Gregg Bell of 933 KJR reports.

With Shaheed out last week, Tory Horton handled a 72 percent route share in Seattle's loss to Chicago. It'll likely be a similar look this week with Horton and Cooper Kupp taking most of the WR snaps alongside Jaxon Smith-Njigba. The big difference will be under center, where Drew Lock is filling in for Sam Darnold (quad) for the second time this season.

Parkinson (ribs) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Commanders, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

The veteran tight end managed to get in a limited practice Friday, keeping the door open for him to play after missing last Sunday's game against the Chargers. With Terrance Ferguson (ankle) due back, Parkinson will likely concentrate on blocking duties.

Wright (quad) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Lions, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Averaging just 1.9 yards per carry, Wright is unlikely to get more than a handful of touches off the bench if he's active this Sunday. Ollie Gordon has been dominating Miami's backfield work.

Burks (foot) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Rams.

With Burks out and Dyami Brown (calf) injured in Friday's practice, the Commanders could be digging even deeper into their depth at wide receiver after Terry McLaurin suffered a season-ending knee injury two weeks ago. Look for Stefon Diggs and Antonio Williams to be every-down wideouts against Los Angeles.

Nabers (knee) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game in Philadelphia.

Nabers was held out of drills Thursday due to a knee injury, but his return to all activity one day later lines up with head coach John Harbaugh's assessment of the situation Friday, when he told Matt Citak of the Giants' official site that the wide receiver "practiced fully" and is "full go" for Week 9. As a result, Nabers will look to build upon the massive 36-509-2 line on 51 targets that he's accrued over the last four contests.
