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.

The Steelers have upgraded Ramsey (hamstring) from questionable and he is expected to suit up for Sunday's divisional matchup against Cleveland, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

Ramsey upgraded to a full practice Friday after having opened Week 6 with back-to-back missed sessions, and Pittsburgh has now upgraded his status Saturday. The reliable veteran appears on track to handle his usual starting role at slot corner versus the Browns and rookie quarterback Dillon Gabriel.

Phillips recorded three tackles (two solo) and recovered a fumble in Thursday's 34-17 win over the Eagles.

Phillips began the week nursing a hip injury, but he avoided an injury designation and managed to play 49 of 57 defensive snaps. He recovered a fumble midway through the fourth quarter, ending any limited hopes of a comeback for the Eagles. Phillips has been busy in coverage to begin the year, logging eight passes defensed and two interceptions across six games.

Adebo recorded seven tackles (five solo) in Thursday's 34-17 win over the Eagles.

Adebo has played 100 percent of defensive snaps in every game this season, and he managed his highest tackle total since Week 3. He's second on the team behind only Bobby Okereke with 44 tackles on the campaign.

Burns recorded seven tackles (three solo), including 2.0 sacks, in Thursday's 24-17 win over the Eagles.

Burns was chasing Jalen Hurts throughout the contest, as four of his tackles came against the quarterback. He recorded multiple sacks for the second time this season, bringing his total on the campaign to 7.0. Burns is having a far more productive second season with the Giants and is pacing toward a career-best year.

Okereke recorded six tackles (two solo) and one pass defensed in Thursday's 34-17 win over the Eagles.

Okereke was on the field for 100 percent of defensive snaps for the third straight game, though it was one of his least productive games of the season. Nevertheless, he has recorded double-digit stops in three of six games this season and is one of the top IDP options every week.

Dean played six snaps on special teams in Thursday's 34-17 loss to the Giants.

Dean made his season debut after recovering from a torn left patellar tendon. The Eagles seemingly eased him into action, and he should eventually return to at least a partial role alongside fellow linebackers Zack Baun and rookie Jihaad Campbell.

Davis recorded six tackles (two solo), including 1.0 sacks, in Thursday's 34-17 loss to the Giants.

Davis matched his season high of six tackles, though only two were solo. He also notched his second sack of the campaign at the end of the first quarter, helping to stall a Giants possession. Davis is on pace for the best season of his career, and he stepped up in the absence of Jalen Carter (heel) in Thursday's loss.

DeJean recorded two tackles (none solo) in Thursday's 34-17 loss to the Giants.

DeJean failed to log a 100 percent snap rate for the first team this season, though that was likely due to game script. It wasn't his finest performance, marking his lowest tackle total since Week 15 of the 2024 campaign.

Mukuba recorded seven tackles (three solo) with one pass defensed in Thursday's 34-17 loss to the Giants.

Mukuba led the Eagles' defense with 66 defensive snaps, a 96 percent clip. That was enough for him to log a season-high seven tackles, although only three were solo. Mukuba should have the chance to make an increased impact as his rookie season continues.
