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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Watkins (calf) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.

Watkins will miss his fourth straight game and has yet to practice in any capacity since suffering the calf injury. He has yet to play this season after being a healthy scratch early in the campaign.

Mingo (knee) did not practice Friday and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Panthers, Clarence Hill Jr. of AllDLLS.com reports.

Mingo ended the week with back-to-back DNPs after practicing in a full capacity Wednesday. Given his lack of practice to end the week, it appears the third-year wideout is trending toward not playing against the team that selected him in the 2023 NFL Draft. If Mingo is in fact ruled out for Sunday's game, his next opportunity to make his 2025 regular-season debut will be Week 7 against the Commanders on Sunday, Oct. 19.
