Mitchell, who was inactive for the Colts' Week 6 win over the Cardinals, will play Sunday against the Chargers, while Indianapolis will be without Josh Downs (concussion) and Ashton Dulin (chest), James Boyd of The Athletic reports.

Mitchell's Week 4 performance against the Rams encapsulated both his upside and drawbacks, as he recorded 96 receiving yards but made multiple mental mistakes, including losing hold on the football just before crossing the goal line to turn a would-be touchdown into a touchback. He subsequently played just six snaps Week 5 and was inactive Week 6. Injuries have paved the way for the 2024 second-round draft pick to reclaim a role in three-receiver sets alongside Michael Pittman and Alec Pierce, but Mitchell will face a Chargers defense that has allowed only two touchdowns to wide receivers this season.

Samuel (heel) said Friday that he isn't sure if he'll play Sunday at Dallas, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.

Samuel was spotted at practice Friday morning after sitting out the previous two days. That's a good sign, but his comments suggest the heel injury is still bothering him to the point that he may not be able to play through it the way he did in Weeks 5 and 6.

Downs (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Chargers.

The same applies to Ashton Dulin (chest), a context that results in Michael Pittman and Alec Pierce being slated to lead the Colts' Week 7 WR corps. Adonai Mitchell is on track to be active and contribute Sunday, while Anthony Gould is available to mix in. Additionally, Laquon Treadwell and Coleman Owen represent possible practice-squad elevations.

Panthers coach Dave Canales said Friday that Coker (quadriceps) will play against the Jets on Sunday, even though he's listed as questionable and remains on injured reserve, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.

Coker has been a full practice participant for two weeks now, potentially allowing him to be free of restrictions for his 2025 debut. He's a candidate to start for a WR-needy team, though it's unclear what his role will be this Sunday.

Dulin (chest) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Chargers, Amanda Foster of the Colts' official site reports.

Adonai Mitchell and Anthony Gould could get additional opportunities in the absences of both Dulin and Josh Downs (concussion). Dulin's next chance to play will come at home against the Titans in Week 8.

Lamb (ankle) said Thursday that he plans to play in Sunday's game against the Commanders without any snap limitations, Clarence Hill Jr. of AllDLLS.com reports.

Lamb said he could've played last week at Carolina but would've been limited. He returned to practice this week, listed as limited Wednesday and Thursday, with the expectation that he'll partake again Friday in some capacity. It remains to be seen if the Cowboys agree with Lamb's optimism about his Week 7 status.

McLaurin (quadriceps) is ruled out for Sunday's game at Dallas, Commanders writer Ben Standig reports.

McLaurin was listed as a limited participant on Wednesday's practice estimate, but he didn't participate Thursday when the Commanders actually held a practice. He then warmed up for practice Friday, before moving to a side field once his teammates started going through drills. Commanders coach Dan Quinn said Friday that McLaurin is getting closer to a return, but it doesn't seem the wideout was all that close to playing this Sunday. Next week could be a different story, with the benefit of an extra rehab day before facing the Chiefs on Monday Night Football (Oct. 27).

Harrison (concussion) remains in concussion protocol Friday, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

The Cardinals listed Harrison as a limited participant Wednesday and Thursday, following his early exit from the Week 6 loss at Indianapolis. A full practice Friday would have fantasy managers feeling better, although Harrison still will need final clearance from a neurologist even if everything goes well on the practice field.

Dulin (chest) will remain a nonparticipant in practice Friday, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.

Dulin has not practiced at all this week, suggesting he will likely be ruled out for Sunday's game against the Chargers. The same is true for Josh Downs (concussion), so Adonai Mitchell has a nice opportunity to take on an increased role alongside Michael Pittman and Alec Pierce if Mitchell can get back in the coaching staff's good graces. Anthony Gould rounds out the wide receiver depth chart.

Downs (concussion) isn't practicing Friday, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.

Downs didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday either, so his apparent non-participation Friday doesn't bode well for his chances of being cleared to play Sunday against the Chargers. The Colts' upcoming injury report will reveal whether Downs has a chance to play this weekend or is ruled out ahead of Week 7 action.
