Samuel (heel) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at Dallas, Commanders writer Ben Standig reports.

Samuel returned to practice Friday, but he was a limited participant and suggested to reporters that he's not sure if he'll play Sunday. He did play through the same injury the past two weeks, including Week 5 when he had an 8-96-1 receiving line against the Chargers. Samuel slumped to 4-15-0 in Monday's loss to the Bears, but his playing time wasn't impacted, handling a 72 percent snap share and 90 percent route share. With Terry McLaurin (quad) out again and TE Zach Ertz (shoulder/calf) listed as questionable, Washington is running low on healthy pass catchers.

Meyers (knee/toe) is participating in practice Friday, Ryan McFadden of ESPN.com reports.

This is welcome news after Meyers didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday, though it remains to be seen whether Meyers goes down as a full or limited participant Friday. Las Vegas' injury report will come out later Friday ahead of Sunday's visit to Kansas City. If he's healthy enough to play, Meyers will try to snap out of a slump that has seen him fall short of 40 receiving yards in each of the past three games.

Pearsall (knee) isn't practicing Friday, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

Pearsall is highly likely to miss another game after not practicing at all this week. There were reports last week about him doing work on a side field, but it's unclear if Pearsall has progressed since then.

Jeudy (knee) doesn't carry an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Dolphins after practicing fully Friday.

Jeudy was limited Wednesday and Thursday, but the wideout's return to a full session Friday paves the way for him to continue to lead the Browns' WR corps this weekend. In the team's 23-9 loss to the Steelers in Week 6, Jeudy recorded an 89 percent snap share en route to catching five of his team-high 13 targets for 43 yards. With tight end David Njoku (knee) ruled out, look for Jeudy and TE Harold Fannin (10 targets versus Pittsburgh) to remain busy in Cleveland's passing game Sunday.

Reynolds (hip) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Panthers, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Reynolds is good to go after logging a full practice Friday. He's expected to work as the team's top wide receiver since Garrett Wilson (knee) is doubtful, but Reynolds' upside is capped by Justin Fields' limitations as a passer. Fields threw for only 45 yards in the Jets' Week 6 loss to the Broncos, which dropped the Jets to 0-6.

Jefferson (ankle) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Titans, while Calvin Ridley (hamstring) has been ruled out, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Jefferson upgraded to full practice participation Friday after a pair of limited sessions to gain clearance. He took on a larger role after Ridley got hurt in the Week 6 loss to the Raiders, as Jefferson finished with four catches for 75 yards. Jefferson likely will start on the outside opposite Elic Ayomanor against a Patriots secondary that's allowing 146 receiving yards per game to wide receivers.

Rams head coach Sean McVay said Friday that Nacua, who won't play Sunday against the Jaguars in London, is "making good progress" in his recovery from a left llow ankle sprain, and he's "optimistic about hopefully having him ready after the [Week 8] bye," Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Nacua hasn't practiced since injuring his ankle during this past Sunday's win at Baltimore, a contest in which he finished with a 2-28-0 line on three targets. With Nacua out Week 7, Davante Adams will step in as the Rams' top pass catcher, while the likes of wideouts Jordan Whittington and Tutu Atwell, running back Kyren Williams and tight end Tyler Higbee round out the receiving corps. Nacua's next chance for game action will arrive Nov. 2 versus the Saints.

Moore (hip/groin) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Saints.

He started his week in the hospital but finished it as a full practice participant. Whatever the issue was after Monday's win over Washington, it apparently won't impact Moore's Week 7 availability. He should have his usual role, which has been plentiful in terms of snaps but far less fruitful for targets and production.

Hyatt (ankle) doesn't carry an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Broncos, Dan Solomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Hyatt was limited in practice by an ankle injury, but he'll be available Sunday, while fellow wide receiver Darius Slayton (hamstring) is listed as doubtful. Despite added opportunities being opened up by injuries to the Giants' wide receiver room, Hyatt's unlikely to find significant success against a tough Broncos secondary considering he has just three catches for 17 yards all season. All of that production came in the Week 6 win over the Eagles.

Slayton (hamstring) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Broncos, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Slayton hasn't practiced since injuring his hamstring during a Week 5 loss to the Saints. He's now expected to miss a second straight game, freeing up snaps/routes for Jalin Hyatt, Lil'Jordan Humphrey and Beaux Collins alongside Wan'Dale Robinson.
