Samuel (neck/ribs) didn't practice Friday.

Samuel's trending in the wrong direction after kicking off Week 6 prep with a limited session Thursday. A potential injury designation for Monday's game against the Falcons won't come until the Bills release their injury report Saturday.

Dotson caught one of his two targets for 17 yards in Thursday's loss to the Giants.

One catch has become Dotson's typical stat line for the Eagles. He's finished with exactly one reception in four of six games this season and finished with exactly one catch in eight regular-season games last year.

Worthy (shoulder/ankle) doesn't carry an injury designation for Sunday night's game against the Lions after returning to a full practice Friday.

Worthy, who is managing shoulder and ankle issues, didn't practice Thursday, but his return to a full session a day later suggests that his absence was maintenance-related, rather than indicative of a setback. In two games back since missing time with a shoulder injury that he sustained Week 1, Worthy has combined to catch 11 passes (on 17 targets) for 125 yards and log three carries for 47 yards, a pace that keeps the starting WR firmly on the Week 6 fantasy lineup radar.

Davis (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Dolphins.

Davis will miss a third consecutive game. His next chance to suit up will come Week 7 against the Colts. KeAndre Lambert-Smith and Ladd McConkey will likely continue to fill in on kickoff returns and punt returns, respectively.

Atwell (hamstring) will be listed as questionable for Sunday's game at Baltimore, Nate Atkins of The Athletic reports.

The Rams added Atwell to their injury report Thursday, marking him as a limited participant. An absence Sunday in Baltimore would leave more playing time for WR Jordan Whittington.

Jones (Achilles) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Packers, Kelsey Conway of the Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Jones upgraded to full practice participation Friday after a pair of limited sessions. He played through this injury in the Week 5 loss to the Lions and should handle his usual role as a returner on punts and kickoffs against the Packers.

Johnston (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at Miami.

Johnston practiced in a limited fashion both Wednesday and Thursday due to a hamstring injury, and so far he hasn't done enough to gain clearance for Week 6 action. His status will be clarified about 90 minutes before Sunday's 1:00 kickoff, and if he's active he'll be looking to build upon the 26-377-4 line on 40 targets that he's racked up through five contests this season.

Evans (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the 49ers.

Evans hasn't practiced since straining his hamstring Week 3 against the Jets. With Chris Godwin (fibula) also out this week, Sterling Shepard and Tez Johnson are the favorites to take snaps alongside Emeka Egbuka in three-wide formations. The Buccaneers haven't ruled Evans out beyond Sunday, but there also hasn't been any sign or hint of progress yet, leaving him on shaky ground for a Week 7 matchup at Detroit on Monday, Oct. 20.

Oliver (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Raiders, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Despite returning to practice for the first time since sustaining a knee injury in Tennessee's Week 2 loss to the Rams, Oliver is in line to miss his fourth consecutive game Sunday. While the Youngstown State product remains sidelined, expect Julius Chestnut and Chimere Dike to operate as the Titans' top kick returners.

Coach Andy Reid said Friday that he expects Worthy (shoulder/ankle) to be available Sunday night against the Lions, Sam McDowell of The Kansas City Star reports.

Worthy got the day off Thursday due to the pair of injuries that have bothered him at times this season, but his return to drills Friday seemingly went well, as Reid noted that the wide receiver was "moving around good" and "did everything." Once the Chiefs post their final Week 6 practice report, his status will become known ahead of the weekend.
