Jackson (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Rams, Brian Wacker of The Baltimore Sun reports.

With Jackson set to miss his second straight game, Cooper Rush is in line to draw another start at quarterback for the Ravens this weekend. With the team on bye Week 7, Jackson will target a potential return to action Oct. 26 against the Bears.

Higbee (hip) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game at Baltimore, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

Higbee missed Week 5 and didn't practice Wednesday, but he returned Thursday as a limited participant before upgrading to full Friday. He had just 11 targets on 86 routes over the first four weeks of the season.

Garrett (ankle) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Steelers, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports.

Garrett is good to go after a full practice Friday following limited sessions Wednesday and Thursday. The star pass rusher has 4.0 sacks this season, though he comes into Sunday's game against Steelers mired in a two-game drought in that category.

Corley (groin) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Steelers, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports.

Corley upgraded to full participation Friday following a pair of limited practices. The 2024 third-round draft pick of the Jets played 12 snaps on offense in his Browns debut against the Vikings this past Sunday in London, turning his only touch into an 11-yard carry.

Collins didn't get a target Thursday in a 34-17 win over the Eagles.

The Giants were playing without wideouts Malik Nabers (knee, out for the season) and Darius Slayton (hamstring) on Thursday, so there was some expectation that Collins would be asked to step into a bigger role. Instead, Collins logged only four offensive snaps while practice-squad elevation Lil'Jordan Humphrey worked as New York's No. 2 wideout with a 77 percent snap share. Jalin Hyatt (29 offensive snaps) also was above Collins in the pecking order, and the latter's participation level was his lowest since he played exclusively on special teams Week 2 versus Dallas. With that in mind, Collins doesn't appear to be moving up the Giants' depth chart even given the team's injuries at the wideout position, so he's probably not worth a roster spot in almost all fantasy formats.

Brown (groin) is listed as a limited participant on Friday's practice estimate.

Brown returned to practice Wednesday after missing the past three games. He was listed as a limited participant Thursday, and he'll have another chance to practice Saturday before the Commanders make a decision on his availability for Monday's game against the Bears. Brown may start if he's active, as Terry McLaurin (quad) still hasn't returned to practice.

Gibson (knee) was placed on injured reserve Friday.

This move was expected after Gibson was diagnosed with a torn ACL following New England's Week 5 win over the Bills. He'll finish the campaign with 25 carries for 106 yards and one touchdown, as well as two catches for six yards on three targets. Terrell Jennings likely will be elevated from the practice squad to provide depth behind Rhamondre Stevenson and TreVeyon Henderson against the Saints on Sunday, while Jashaun Corbin is another backfield option on the practice squad.

Rodriguez (calf) is listed as a non-participant on Friday's practice estimate.

Rodriguez didn't practice Thursday and apparently wouldn't have partaken Friday if the Commanders had held a practice. A return Saturday could still give him a chance to play Monday against the Bears, though all signs point to Jacory Croskey-Merritt leading Washington's backfield this week.

Hyatt caught three of five targets for 17 yards in Week 6 during Thursday's 34-17 win over Philadelphia.

With Malik Nabers (knee) out for the season and Darius Slayton (hamstring) inactive for Week 6, Hyatt by default was called upon for a bigger role. Hyatt still put up a modest stat line, though he did reel in catches on back-to-back plays during a second-quarter drive that ultimately ended in a touchdown. However, Hyatt was out-snapped by a 53-29 margin by practice-squad elevation Lil'Jordan Humphrey, who finished with a 4-55-0 line on a team-leading eight targets. That's not a good sign of New York's level of faith in Hyatt, who could fade further out of the picture if Slayton is able to return to action Week 7 against Denver.

Samuel (heel) is listed as a limited participant on Friday's practice report.

The Commanders didn't actually practice Friday but estimate that Samuel would've participated if they had. He played through the same injury last week, catching eight of 11 targets for 96 yards and a touchdown in a game where no other Commander got more than two targets. Samuel likely will play again Monday against the Bears.
