Ashton Dulin WR | IND
Colts' Ashton Dulin: Will log another DNP on Friday
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.

Josh Downs WR | IND
Colts' Josh Downs: Still not practicing
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.

Tutu Atwell WR | LAR
Rams' Tutu Atwell: Could play more in Nacua's absence
Atwell could see additional opportunities Sunday against the Jaguars, as coach Sean McVay said Friday that Puka Nacua (ankle) will be out, Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site reports.
Atwell has been used sparingly this season, with Nacua and Davante Adams getting most of the attention from Matthew Stafford. In Nacua's absence, Atwell is set to join Adams and Jordan Whittington in three-receiver sets. Atwell doesn't need many opportunities to make an impact, as the deep threat is averaging 41.0 yards per catch in 2025, albeit on only four receptions.

Davante Adams WR | LAR
Rams' Davante Adams: Team's top WR for Week 7
Adams is set to lead the Rams' receiving corps Sunday against the Jaguars, as coach Sean McVay said Friday that Puka Nacua (ankle) will be out, Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site reports.
Nacua's 65 targets are the most in the NFL, so there will be significant additional volume from Matthew Stafford to go around in Nacua's absence. Adams already has seen heavy volume in his first season with the Rams, catching 26 of 55 targets for 396 yards and three touchdowns through six games. Jordan Whittington and Tutu Atwell also could step into larger roles this weekend in London.

Terry McLaurin WR | WAS
Commanders' Terry McLaurin: Present for Friday's practice
McLaurin (quadriceps) was spotted at Friday's practice, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.
Per Jhabvala, McLaurin went to the side field while the rest of the team started individual drills, so it remains to be seen how the Commanders list the wideout's official participation level. After being deemed limited on Wednesday's practice report, McLaurin logged a DNP on Thursday, so his his presence for Friday's session offers hope that he could return to action Sunday against the Cowboys. Meanwhile, fellow WR Deebo Samuel (heel) also was on the field Friday, according to Jhabvala, on the heels of consecutive DNPs.

Josh Reynolds WR | NYJ
Jets' Josh Reynolds: Set for full practice
Reynolds (hip) is expected to practice without limitations Friday, per head coach Aaron Glenn, Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic reports.
If Reynolds is a full participant in practice Friday, he may avoid an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Panthers. That would be a welcome sight for a Jets passing game that's expected to be without top wide receiver Garrett Wilson (knee). Other candidates for additional opportunities at wide receiver include Arian Smith, Allen Lazard and Tyler Johnson.

Puka Nacua WR | LAR
Rams' Puka Nacua: Won't play Sunday
Coach Sean McVay said Friday that Nacua (ankle) will be out for Sunday's game against the Jaguars in London, Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site reports.
With Nacua unavailable this weekend, Jordan Whittington, Tutu Atwell, Xavier Smith and Konata Mumpfield are candidates to see added opportunities alongside fellow WR Davante Adams. Nacua thus will target a potential return to action Sunday, Nov. 2 versus the Saints, following the Rams' Week 8 bye.

Garrett Wilson WR | NYJ
Jets' Garrett Wilson: Doubtful to face Panthers
Wilson (knee) will be listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Panthers, Jets coach Aaron Glenn revealed Friday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
Wilson's doubtful designation isn't surprising given previous reports that he was likely to miss a couple weeks due to the knee injury he sustained in the Week 6 loss to Denver. The star wide receiver didn't practice during the Jets' preparation for Sunday's game against the Panthers. Josh Reynolds (hip) will likely work as the Jets' top wide receiver, while Mason Taylor could see additional targets against a Panthers defense that has allowed the most yards in the NFL to tight ends through six weeks.
-
Deebo Samuel WR | WAS
Commanders' Deebo Samuel: Spotted at practice Friday
Samuel (heel) was on the field for the initial portion of Friday's practice, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.
Samuel was deemed a non-participant Wednesday and Thursday, so his presence at Friday's practice is a positive sign ahead of Sunday's game against the Cowboys, especially after he played through the injury last week to the tune of 72 percent of the offensive snaps, though it remains to be seen how much work he'll get in. In any case, the Commanders' upcoming injury report will reveal the wideout's official participation level as well as his Week 7 game status.

Tay Martin WR | WAS
Tay Martin: Released from Washington's PS
Martin was released from Washington's practice squad Thursday.
Martin was released to make room for the newly signed Treylon Burks. The 27-year-old Martin appeared in three games for the Commanders, catching both of his targets for 23 yards. Prior to this season, Martin had just one catch in four regular-season games.
