Brown (knee) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game in Green Bay, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.

With both Curtis Samuel (groin) and Cam Sims (hamstring) ruled out, Brown could match or even top his snap share (80 percent) and target volume (six) from the Week 6 loss to Kansas City. However, the rookie has caught just eight of 20 targets for 81 yards, unable to make an impact despite averaging 44.6 snaps in his five appearances. Brown missed Week 5 with a minor knee injury that's apparently still lingering, but he didn't appear to be limited in his Week 6 return and isn't listed on the final Week 7 injury report.

Hill (quadriceps) returned to practice Friday, Adam Teicher of ESPN.com reports.

Hill's return to the field after logging back-to-back absences Wednesday and Thursday bodes well for his availability for Sunday's game against the Titans. Friday's final injury report will reveal whether or not Kansas City's top wideout heads into the weekend carrying an injury designation.

McLaurin (hamstring) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game in Green Bay, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.

McLaurin was a Friday addition to the injury report last week, but he ultimately played 95 percent of the snaps in a 31-13 loss to the Chiefs and caught only four of eight targets for 28 yards. Washington will need more from him to have a shot at pulling off the upset at Lambeau Field this Sunday, and while it's a tough spot for the team overall, McLaurin faces a beatable cornerback group with no Jaire Alexander (shoulder), who is on injured reserve.

Marshall (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Giants, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.

After he was diagnosed with a concussion coming out of the Panthers' Week 6 loss to the Vikings, Marshall was unable to practice in any capacity Wednesday through Friday. As a result, the Panthers' decision to rule Marshall out for the Week 7 matchup comes as little surprise. With Marshall sidelined for the first time this season and Alex Erickson (concussion) listed as questionable but uncertain to play Sunday, rookie Shi Smith could have a regular spot in three-wide sets alongside DJ Moore and Robby Anderson.

Sims (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's contest against the Packers, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.

Sims hasn't practiced since leaving Washington's Week 4 win over the Falcons early with a hamstring injury. Terry McLaurin, Adam Humphries and Dyami Brown will garner the majority of the wideout snaps, but Dax Milne and DeAndre Carter have developed small roles with Sims and Curtis Samuel (groin) sidelined.

Samuel (groin) has been ruled out for Sunday's game in Green Bay, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.

He's played just twice this season and is out for a second straight week, but head coach Ron Rivera told Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post that he wasn't ready to consider another injured reserve stint for the wideout. Samuel's groin injury has allowed Dyami Brown to operate as Washington's No. 2 outside receiver when healthy, though snaps haven't necessarily led to targets.

Toney (ankle) isn't practicing Friday, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.

Also missing from practice is Kenny Golladay (knee), while Darius Slayton (hamstring) and Sterling Shepard (hamstring) will at least give it a go, as will tight end Evan Engram (calf). Toney appears highly unlikely to play in Sunday's game against the Panthers.

Slayton (hamstring) is participating in Friday's practice and could be a game-time decision for Sunday's matchup with the Panthers, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.

Slayton will practice in some capacity for the third straight day, but he'll likely be stuck with the questionable tag for the Week 7 contest. If available, the 24-year-old would likely operate as New York's No. 2 wideout with Kenny Golladay (knee) and Kadarius Toney (ankle) unlikely to suit up.

Shepard (hamstring) is participating in Friday's practice, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

Shepard was added to the injury report Thursday as a limited participant, and he appears to be poised for a limited or full showing during Friday's practice. The Giants' final Week 7 practice report will be revealed later Friday and determine whether Shepard approaches Sunday's game against the Panthers with or without an injury designation.

Samuel (groin) wasn't participating in position drills and was instead working on a side field during Friday's practice, Ben Standig of The Athletic reports.

Samuel has yet to practice this week as he continues to manage a groin injury, and his outlook doesn't appear to have improved Friday. The 25-year-old aggravated the issue in Week 5 after missing the first three weeks of the season, and he's likely to miss his second straight game Sunday against the Packers.
