Nailor (hamstring) is listed as questionable ahead of Monday night's game against San Francisco.

The 24-year-old wideout was designated to return from injured reserve Wednesday, and he logged three limited practices throughout the week. If Nailor is able to suit up Monday night, he'll likely play the majority of his snaps on special teams, as he played on only six percent of the Vikings' offensive snaps last season.

Conner has been elevated to the Dolphins' active roster ahead of Sunday's matchup with the Eagles, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

This move marks Conner's second elevation of the season and second in as many weeks. He logged 10 offensive snaps (15 percent) and 13 on special teams (43 percent) in Week 6. Look for him to see a similar role in Philly.

Jones will not travel to Baltimore and has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game due to the Ravens due to personal reasons.

The veteran hasn't been involved significantly in games when the top Lions pass catchers have all been healthy. More information as to why Jones will miss Sunday's matchup will likely arrive in the coming days.

The Steelers officially released Olszewski on Saturday, Teresa Varley of the team's official website reports.

No surprise here, as Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com previously reported this transaction was expected. Olszewski's exit will presumably open up a roster spot for fellow pass catcher Diontae Johnson (hamstring) to be activated off IR ahead of Week 7. Olszewski was primarily used as a returner during his two games on the 53-man roster.

Johnson (hamstring) was activated off injured reserve Saturday and does not carry an injury designation for Sunday's contest against the Rams.

The veteran figures to slot immediately into the starting lineup alongside George Pickens and Allen Robinson. In his lone Week 1 contest before suffering the injury, Johnson had just three catches on six targets for 48 yards, but a more consistent offense figures to rise the tide on all offensive options, including the 27-year-old.

Shaheed hauled in four of eight targets for 28 yards and logged one rushing attempt for four yards during Thursday's 31-24 defeat to the Jaguars.

Shaheed logged a season high in targets, finishing third on the team behind top wideout Chris Olave (15) and running back Alvin Kamara (14). The 6-foot Shaheed has primarily been used on short crossing routes and deep passes that are meant to give him an opportunity for yards after the catch, and he's averaged 16.3 yards per reception. However, he didn't manage to connect on any deep passes from Saints quarterback Derek Carr, who set a new campaign best in passing attempts (55) for the second week in a row. Shaheed has logged two touchdowns this season. His value in fantasy will continue to come as an explosive, though largely hit or miss, playmaker in New Orleans' rather limited offense.

Guyton (knee-ACL) won't come off the reserve/PUP list in Week 7.

Guyton is nearing a return after sitting out the beginning part of the campaign while continuing to rehab the torn ACL he suffered in Week 3 last season. He was able to log a limited practice session both Thursday and Friday this week but isn't quite ready to make his season debut. Guyton will instead look to return next Sunday against the Bears.

Skowronek (Achilles) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game versus Pittsburgh.

Skowronek was able to play through his Achilles injury in Week 6 versus the Cardinals, so he should be considered to be on the "probable" end of the questionable designation for Week 7. If he ends up as a scratch though, Demarcus Robinson could take his place Sunday.

Boutte (hamstring) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Bills, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.

Boutte popped up on New England's injury report this week with a hamstring injury, which held him to limited participation in both Thursday and Friday's practices. The rookie wide receiver out of LSU has appeared in only one game this year, with that being the Patriots' Week 1 loss to the Eagles. He was unable to haul in any of his four targets in that one appearance.

Samuel (shoulder) didn't practice Friday, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Samuel has missed back-to-back practices ahead of a Monday game in Minnesota, with Saturday representing his final chance to participate this week. Matt Barrows of The Athletic notes that Samuel was spotted in the team's weight room, while RB Christian McCaffrey made it out to a side field to work with the training staff. Both are considered day-to-day and could end up as game-time decisions for Monday Night Football.
