Samuel (shoulder) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Titans.

Samuel was injured early in the first quarter and has now been deemed unable to return. He failed to catch his lone target before the injury. The Bills will roll with Amari Cooper, Khalil Shakir, Keon Coleman and Mack Hollins at receiver for the rest of Sunday's contest.

Moore (knee) is good to go for Sunday's matchup with the Commanders, Darin Gantt of the team's official website reports.

Moore was limited at practice throughout the week and was considered a true game-time decision. He has ultimately gotten the green light and figures to take on his usual role providing depth at receiver.

Whittington (shoulder) is active for Sunday's game versus the Raiders, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.

Whittington came out of the Rams' last contest Week 5 with a shoulder injury, but he seemingly benefited from the team's ensuing bye, parlaying three limited practices into a questionable designation and eventual active status. Fellow WR Cooper Kupp made an effort to return from the left high-ankle sprain that has sidelined him since the first half of Week 2 but ultimately will log a fourth straight DNP. Whittington thus will have plenty of opportunities in L.A.'s passing game along with Tutu Atwell, Demarcus Robinson and Tyler Johnson.

Johnson (ankle) is active for Sunday's Week 7 matchup against the Commanders, Darin Gantt of the team's official site reports.

The oft-injured veteran wideout was said to be trending toward active status in reports issued earlier in the weekend, and Johnson's availability is now confirmed. As such, Johnson will continue to operate as the top on-paper target for veteran signal-caller Andy Dalton, who's helped facilitate a 24-306-3 line on 43 targets for the talented pass catcher over his first four games as the starting quarterback.

Kupp (ankle) is listed as inactive Sunday versus the Raiders, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.

Kupp has been sidelined since the first half of a Week 2 loss at Arizona due to a left high-ankle sprain. He's missed three games in the meantime, but following the Rams' Week 6 bye, he was able to log three consecutive limited sessions and potentially set himself up for a return to action. Having said that, Kupp's questionable tag came with a grain of salt, as coach Sean McVay was tepid regarding the wide receiver's status all week, per Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com. Adam Schefter of ESPN then reported earlier Sunday that Kupp wasn't likely to play, and after a pregame warmup, he'll sit out another contest. Kupp's next chance to suit up is Thursday against the Vikings, while Jordan Whittington (shoulder), Tutu Atwell, Demarcus Robinson, Tyler Johnson and Xavier Smith will man L.A.'s receiving corps Week 7.

Meyers (ankle) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Rams.

Meyers, who didn't practice this past week, headed into the weekend listed as doubtful. Now that he's been made inactive for the second straight game, Tre Tucker and DJ Turner are slated to lead the Raiders' Week 7 wideout corps, with Alex Bachman, Kristian Wilkerson and Tyreik McAllister also on hand. Meyers' next chance to see game action will arrive next Sunday against the Chiefs.

Osborn recorded two receptions on three targets for 26 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 32-16 loss to the Jaguars.

Osborn looked to be phased out of the New England offense, as he failed to log a snap in Week 6. However, he managed to make an impact Sunday with DeMario Douglas (illness) held out for much of the second half and Ja'Lynn Polk continuing to struggle. Osborn's primary impact came midway through the fourth quarter when he hauled in a 22-yard touchdown reception. He'll likely return to a minimal role in Week 8 against the Jets, though it will be worth monitoring the health of the Patriots' other pass catchers.

Kirk brought in one of three targets for 24 yards in the Jaguars' 32-16 win over the Patriots on Sunday in London.

Kirk made one of his signature chunk gains on his one reception, and although the modest target total was disappointing, the veteran wideout was partly a victim of circumstance. Trevor Lawrence put up only 20 pass attempts due to the way game script unfolded, helping lead to Kirk's third one-catch tally of the season. Kirk figures to have to be much more involved in a Week 8 home matchup against the Packers.

Samuel injured his shoulder during Sunday's game against the Titans.

After QB Josh Allen couldn't connect with Samuel on second down early in the first quarter, the wide receiver was seen down on one knee on the sideline with the training staff checking him out. Shortly thereafter, Samuel was deemed questionable to return. As long as Samuel is sidelined, Amari Cooper, Khalil Shakir, Keon Coleman and Mack Hollins will be the options at the position.

Thomas secured all five targets for 89 yards and a touchdown and rushed twice for two yards in the Jaguars' 32-16 win over the Patriots on Sunday in London.

The rookie wideout tied or set the pace for the Jaguars in receptions, receiving yards and targets. He also was the only Jacksonville pass catcher to find the end zone, recording a six-yard grab early in the second quarter for his third touchdown in the last four games. Despite Trevor Lawrence's struggles at times this season, Thomas has found a way to remain productive on most weeks and once again figures to be heavily involved in a Week 8 home matchup against the Packers.
