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.

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.

Wilson secured both of his targets for 17 yards during Thursday's 33-31 loss to the Bengals.

Although Calvin Austin (shoulder) remained sidelined for a second consecutive game Thursday, Wilson didn't generate much production in the loss. Over the two games that Austin has missed, Wilson has secured all three of his targets for 29 yards, marking his most productive stretch of the season, but that hasn't been enough to garner much fantasy appeal.

Miller secured his lone target for nine yards during Thursday's 33-31 loss to Cincinnati.

Miller was on the field for just eight offensive snaps Thursday after logging double-digit snaps in each of the team's last two games, but he still recorded his first reception of the season in the loss. Even though Calvin Austin (shoulder) remained sidelined for a second consecutive game Thursday, most of the Steelers' passing game flowed through DK Metcalf, Jaylen Warren and the team's three tight ends, leaving minimal work for Miller and the rest of the team's wide receivers.

Metcalf brought in three of five targets for 50 yards in the Steelers' 33-31 loss to the Bengals on Thursday night.

On a night when Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins mostly stole the headlines in conjunction with Joe Flacco, Metcalf was almost a forgotten man, even on his own team to an extent. While the star wideout's yardage total was second on the night for the Steelers, he wasn't on the receiving end of any of Aaron Rodgers' quartet of scoring tosses, which all went to tight ends. Nevertheless, Metcalf and Rodgers have already flashed plenty of strong chemistry early on in their working relationship, as evidenced by the 22-406-4 receiving line on 36 targets Metcalf will take into a Week 8 home matchup against the Packers on Sunday night, Oct. 26.

Higgins secured six of 10 targets for 96 yards and a touchdown in the Bengals' 33-31 win over the Steelers on Thursday night.

Higgins was outshined by fellow wideout Ja'Marr Chase, who finished with a surreal 16-161-1 line on 23 targets. However, under normal circumstances, Higgins' night would be considered a rousing success, as the veteran receiver put together season highs in all three components of his stat line. Higgins has encouragingly logged a combined 18 targets over his first two games working with Joe Flacco, and the duo will now have some extra practice time to continue building chemistry ahead of a Week 8 home matchup against the Jets on Sunday, Oct. 26.

Chase secured 16 of 23 targets for 161 yards and a touchdown in the Bengals' 33-31 win over the Steelers on Thursday night.

Chase's eye-popping reception and target totals were career-high figures, as the All-Pro receiver put together a night for the ages in only his second game working with Joe Flacco. The 2021 first-round pick also struck for his fifth touchdown catch of the season on an eight-yard grab with under five minutes remaining in the first half. Chase's otherworldly numbers aren't completely surprising considering the multiple memorable performances he's already put together in his career, but Thursday's effort was clearly on another level. Given his undeniable chemistry with Flacco, Chase will remain an elite option in all formats during a Week 8 home matchup against the Jets on Sunday, Oct. 26.

Watkins (calf) was a limited participant in practice for the second day in a row Thursday, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Watkins appears on track to play Sunday against the Falcons after missing the first six games of the season. If he can suit up, he might get snaps, too, as Jauan Jennings (ankle/rib/shoulder, LP), Ricky Pearsall (knee, DNP), Marquez Valdes-Scantling (calf, DNP) and Skyy Moore (ankle, LP) are all listed on the 49ers' Week 7 injury report, while Kendrick Bourne and Demarcus Robinson are San Francisco's only healthy options at the position. The Ole Miss product went in the fourth round of the draft in April after tying for the SEC lead in touchdown catches with nine last year.

Moore (ankle) was a limited participant in practice Thursday after missing Wednesday's session, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

The wide receiver first appeared on the injury report Wednesday, likely indicating that he picked up the injury during the 49ers' Week 6 loss to the Buccaneers. Moore's return to practice might put him on track to suit up this Sunday against the Falcons, and if he can go, he might be able to get snaps amid a depleted receiving corps, as Jauan Jennings (ankle/rib/shoulder, LP), Ricky Pearsall (knee, DNP), Marquez Valdes-Scantling (calf, DNP) and Jordan Watkins (calf, LP) are all listed on the injury report, while Kendrick Bourne and Demarcus Robinson are San Francisco's only healthy options at the position.

Mooney (hamstring) practiced in a limited fashion Thursday, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

After hurting his hamstring Week 4, Mooney came out of Atlanta's Week 5 bye with no activity at practice before being ruled out for this past Monday's game against the Bills. He then was listed as limited on Wednesday's estimated injury report before logging his first on-field work since picking up the health concern. Friday's report will reveal Mooney's odds to suit up Sunday in San Francisco, but even if he does, he holds little sway in fantasy, with just seven catches (on 16 targets) for 79 yards and no touchdowns in parts of three games this season.
