Moore (thigh) is officially inactive for Sunday's game against Cincinnati.

Moore was only able to practice in limited fashion over the week, as Sunday will mark his fifth straight contest missed. With Moore sidelined, duties at depth receiver shift to Miles Boykin and Devin Duvernay.

Perriman (ankle) is inactive Week 5 against the Cardinals.

Perriman entered the week with a "doubtful" tag after failing to take the practice field even once, so his presence on the inactive list comes as little surprise. He'll instead leave Jamison Crowder and Jeff Smith with a clear path to leading the passing attack under quarterback Joe Flacco while now targeting a Week 6 return against the Chargers.

Byrd and the Patriots won't play the Broncos on Monday after the game was postponed until Week 6 due to a third positive COVID-19 test in the New England organization within the past eight days, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

The Patriots and the Broncos are now tentatively scheduled to play Sunday, Oct. 18 in Week 6, which was originally a scheduled bye week for New England. Denver, meanwhile, had been in line to host the Dolphins, but Miami now looks poised to take its bye Week 6.

Samuel (illness), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Dolphins, "should be good [to play]," a source tells Adam Schefter of ESPN.

Samuel was sidelined for the 49ers' final two practices of the week due to a non-COVID-19-related illness, but the wideout has since passed through all protocols and is on track to suit up Sunday, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. Making his season debut in last week's loss to the Eagles after missing the 49ers' first three games while recovering from June surgery to address a Jones fracture in his foot, Samuel played 25 of the 49ers' 73 offensive snaps (34 percent) and finished with three catches for 35 yards and one carry for 10 yards. Samuel should be ready for a larger workload Sunday with surgery further in the rearview mirror, but coach Kyle Shanahan may not be prepared for him to handle the 70-plus-percent snap shares that fellow starting receivers Kendrick Bourne and Brandon Aiyuk have routinely taken on this season.

Perriman (ankle) isn't expected to play Sunday versus the Cardinals, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

The 27-year-old didn't practice all week before being labeled as doubtful for Week 5, and it appears his outlook hasn't improved through the first half of the weekend. Perriman is poised to miss his third straight contest as he continues to battle the ankle injury sustained Week 2 versus the 49ers. Chris Hogan (ribs/knee), assuming he plays, and Jeff Smith are likely to have larger roles in the passing game behind No. 1 wideout Jamison Crowder.

Brown (knee) is expected to play Sunday against the Bengals, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

The 23-year-old practiced as a full participant Thursday and Friday, so it's not a major surprise he's in line to play Sunday despite being listed as questionable. Brown has yet to catch a touchdown this season and has 16 catches for 242 yards on 26 targets through four games.

Harris (hamstring) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Chargers.

Harris was unable to practice this week due to the hamstring issue and won't be suiting up Monday. Taysom Hill could step in on kick returns and Alvin Kamara on punt returns for the Saints, though Marquez Callaway could also take over return duties.
