Diggs caught five of seven targets for 23 yards in Sunday's 24-22 loss to the Packers.

Diggs had just three receiving yards in the first half and was only marginally better in the second half as C.J. Stroud threw for only 86 yards in the game. The veteran wide receiver's modest contributions included a two-yard catch on third-and-1 to extend a fourth-quarter drive that culminated in Ka'imi Fairbairn's go-ahead 35-yard field goal with 1:44 remaining, but the Packers responded with a game-winning Brandon McManus field goal as time expired to drop the Texans to 5-2. Houston's passing game has a nice opportunity to bounce back at home in Week 8 against a leaky Colts defense that Diggs burned for two touchdowns back in Week 1.

Smith-Schuster left Sunday's contest in San Francisco due to a hamstring injury, Nate Taylor of The Athletic reports.

Smith-Schuster showed up on the Chiefs' Week 7 practice report midweek due to a hamstring issue, which capped his reps Thursday and Friday. While he entered the weekend as questionable, he eventually was deemed active about 90 minutes before Sunday's kickoff. With Hollywood Brown (shoulder) and Rashee Rice (knee) on injured reserve, Smith-Schuster is among the top remaining available options at WR for KC, but he now will cede snaps to Xavier Worthy, Justin Watson, Mecole Hardman and Skyy Moore.

Reed caught two of four targets for 10 yards and rushed once for no gain in Sunday's 24-22 win over the Texans. He added one punt return for five yards.

Reed played through the ankle injury he sustained in the Week 6 win over the Cardinals and didn't have an injury designation for the game but lacked his usual explosiveness. After posting at least 97 yards of offense in each of his first three games with Jordan Love under center this season, Reed has only 38 yards over the last two such games combined. A Week 8 home game against the Jaguars presents a nice opportunity for Reed to get back on track, but it will be worth monitoring whether his name continues to pop up on the Packers' injury report in practice.

Coach Mike Macdonald said Metcalf "banged his knee a little bit" during Sunday's 34-14 win in Atlanta, but the injury "doesn't look too bad," John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Metcalf exited this Week 7 matchup in the fourth quarter and eventually needed a cart to get to the locker room. Prior to his departure, he reeled in four of seven targets for 99 yards and one touchdown. Considering Macdonald's comments, Metcalf likely isn't in danger of missing any time, but Seattle likely will do its due diligence to ensure the health concern won't impact his availability moving forward.

Samuel is tending to an illness but is expected to play Sunday against the Chiefs, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Samuel operated with a cap on his reps this past week due to a wrist injury but ultimately was cleared to suit up for Week 7 action. With an ailment now in tow, there's a chance his snap share is below its norm of 70-plus percent, which could open up reps for Brandon Aiyuk, Ricky Pearsall and Chris Conley, with Jauan Jennings (hip) sidelined.

Berrios (knee) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Colts.

Berrios was injured during a kickoff return in the fourth quarter. He'll end the day with 26 kick-return yards and 18 punt-return yards. De'Von Achane and Malik Washington are candidates to handle return duties for the rest of Sunday's game.

Metcalf (knee) was carted to the locker room during Sunday's contest at Atlanta, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.

After the Seahawks deemed him questionable to return early in the fourth quarter, Metcalf was seen stretching out the knee in question before heading to the locker room on the cart. Without Metcalf's services, Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Tyler Lockett will headline the team's passing game, with Jake Bobo, Laviska Shenault and Dareke Young the other options at wide receiver.

Metcalf sustained a knee injury during Sunday's game in Atlanta.

Prior to his exit early in the fourth quarter, Metcalf had hauled in four of seven targets for 99 yards, which was fueled by a 31-yard TD connection with QB Geno Smith. Looks will be up for grabs from Smith for the likes of Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Tyler Lockett, Jake Bobo, Laviska Shenault and Dareke Young for as long as Metcalf is sidelined.

Smith-Schuster (hamstring) is active for Sunday's game against the 49ers.

Smith-Schuster was added to the Chiefs' Week 7 injury report after being limited by a hamstring issue Thursday, a level of participation that he maintained Friday before being listed as questionable heading into the weekend. Prior to his team's Week 6 bye, Smith-Schuster caught seven of his eight targets for 130 yards in a Monday night win over the Saints. Following that strong showing, the veteran wideout is back on the fantasy radar thanks to his role in a depleted Kansas City WR corps as well as his rapport with quarterback Patrick Mahomes.

Pearsall (chest) is listed as active Sunday against the Chiefs.

Pearsall thus will make his long-awaited NFL debut after enduring a gunshot wound during an attempted robbery Aug. 31 that resulted in him spending the first six weeks of the campaign on the reserve/non-football injury list. With Jauan Jennings (hip) sidelined, Pearsall will have a chance to mix into the 49ers offense, but the team may prefer the veteran presence of Chris Conley as the No. 3 WR behind Deebo Samuel and Brandon Aiyuk for this high-profile matchup.
