Curtis Samuel WR | BUF
Bills' Curtis Samuel: Questionable for Week 6
Samuel (neck/ribs) is listed as questionable for Monday's contest in Atlanta.
Samuel sandwiched an absence from practice Friday around limited sessions Thursday and Saturday due to neck and rib injuries, leaving his status up in the air ahead of Monday's 7:15 p.m. ET kickoff. If he's able to suit up, he'll be a target available to QB Josh Allen while serving as the Bills' primary kick returner.

Darnell Mooney WR | ATL
Falcons' Darnell Mooney: Ruled out to face Bills
Mooney (hamstring) is ruled out for Monday's game against Buffalo, D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
Mooney's lack of availability is no surprise, given that he has yet to resume practicing since tweaking his hamstring and making an early exit in Week 4 against the Commanders. Still, head coach Raheem Morris has labeled Mooney day-to-day, so it seems he could return to health in time to suit up Week 7 versus San Francisco. With Mooney out for Monday's matchup against Buffalo, Casey Washington looks primed to handle a large workload behind top wideout Drake London, while TE Kyle Pitts and No. 3 receiver Ray-Ray McCloud could also see a slight uptick in target share.

Darnell Mooney WR | ATL
Falcons' Darnell Mooney: Not spotted at practice again
Mooney (hamstring) is not present for the early portion of Saturday's practice open to the media, Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com reports.
Mooney has yet to participate in practice since being forced out of Atlanta's win over the Commanders early due to a tweaked hamstring, despite having had the benefit of a Week 5 bye to rest up. All signs point toward Mooney being ruled out for Monday's matchup against the Bills, though head coach Raheem Morris did call him day-to-day, so there's reason for optimism that he could return in Week 7 versus the 49ers. If Mooney is indeed unable to go versus Buffalo, Casey Washington will figure to step into a significant role on offense behind Drake London.

Deebo Samuel WR | WAS
Commanders' Deebo Samuel: Looking like game-time decision
Commanders coach Dan Quinn said Saturday that the team will "take it into Monday" regarding the availability of Samuel (heel) versus the Bears, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.
Samuel played through his bruised heel last week and has been practicing in a limited capacity, and it appears as though he'll be officially listed as questionable with the release of Saturday's injury report, but that his status won't be made official until Monday. At the latest, fantasy managers will gain clarity at least 90 minutes prior to Monday's 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff against Chicago. With Terry McLaurin (quadriceps) and Noah Brown (groin/knee) both already ruled out for Monday Night Football, the state of Washington's passing game will largely rest on Samuel's availability. Behind him on the depth chart are wideouts Luke McCaffrey, Jaylin Lane and Chris Moore, as well as practice-squad man Tay Martin.

Noah Brown WR | WAS
Commanders' Noah Brown: Ruled out for Week 6
Commanders coach Dan Quinn said Saturday that Brown (groin/knee) is ruled out for Monday's matchup against the Bears, Tashan Reed of The Washington Post reports.
Brown will miss a fourth consecutive game due to lingering groin and knee injuries, despite having returned to practice as a limited participant to begin Week 6. Both he and Terry McLaurin (quadriceps) will be unavailable versus Chicago on Monday, making Washington's road matchup against the Cowboys on Sunday, Oct. 19 in Week 7 their next opportunity to retake the field. With Brown and McLaurin ruled out and Deebo Samuel (heel) having played through an injury last week, depth wideouts Luke McCaffrey, Jaylin Lane and Chris Moore will be tasked with stepping up versus the Bears.

Terry McLaurin WR | WAS
Commanders' Terry McLaurin: Ruled out for Monday night
Commanders head coach Dan Quinn said that McLaurin (quadriceps) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Bears, Tashan Reed of The Washington Post reports.
McLaurin and Noah Brown (groin) will both sit out Week 6, paving the way for all of Luke McCaffrey, Jaylin Lane and Chris Moore to handle increased offensive roles behind top available wideout Deebo Samuel (heel), who may himself be a game-time decision. McLaurin will end up missing his third consecutive game due to a lingering quad injury. His next chance to suit up will come Oct. 19 on the road against Dallas in Week 7.

Terry McLaurin WR | WAS
Commanders' Terry McLaurin: Not spotted at Saturday's practice
McLaurin (quadriceps) is not participating in the early portion of Saturday's practice open to the media, Tashan Reed of The Washington Post reports.
Commanders coach Dan Quinn began Week 6 by offering some optimism about McLaurin's odds of being available, but the starting wideout now appears to be missing his third consecutive practice. If Saturday's official injury report does confirm McLaurin as a non-participant, expect him to be ruled out for Monday's matchup against the Bears, or listed as 'doubtful' at best.

Lil'Jordan Humphrey WR | DEN
Giants' Lil'Jordan Humphrey: Reverts to practice squad
Humphrey reverted to the Giants' practice squad Friday, per the NFL's transaction log.
With Malik Nabers (knee) and Darius Slayton (hamstring) injured, Humphrey started Thursday night against the Eagles and played 77 percent of the offensive snaps, finishing with four catches for 55 yards on eight targets in his first regular-season action of 2025. Humphrey figures to be a regular elevation candidate over the next few weeks after his strong Week 6 performance.

Cody White WR | SEA
Cody White: Back with Seattle
The Seahawks signed White to the practice squad Friday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
White has been bouncing between the Seahawks' practice squad and active roster through the first six weeks of the season. He's played five offensive snaps and six on special teams to this point in 2025.

Jauan Jennings WR | SF
49ers' Jauan Jennings: Potential game-time decision
Jennings (ankle) is listed as questionable and may be a game-time decision Sunday at Tampa Bay, ESPN.com's Nick Wagoner reports.
QB Mac Jones (oblique/knee) is listed as questionable but fully expected to start, whereas Jennings is truly questionable and may end up coming down to the wire ahead of a 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff Sunday. Jennings was a limited practice participant Thursday and Friday, after missing Week 5 with ankle and rib injuries.
