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 coach Dan Quinn said Saturday that Terry McLaurin (quadriceps) is ruled out for Monday's game against the Bears, Tashan Reed of The Washington Post reports.

McLaurin and Noah Brown (groin) have both been ruled out for 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 has been limited in practice. This will be McLaurin's third consecutive missed game due to a lingering quad injury. His next chance to suit up will come Sunday, 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.

The Panthers waived Campbell (hamstring) from injured reserve Friday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Campbell was waived/injured by Carolina last week and will now look for an opportunity elsewhere once he clears waivers. He appeared in two games earlier this season, seeing nine snaps on offense and another nine on special teams prior to getting hurt.

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. He was a limited practice participant Thursday and Friday, after missing Week 5 with ankle and rib injuries.

Jones (knee) is expected to start Sunday's game at Tampa Bay, ESPN.com's Nick Wagoner reports.

Jones is officially listed as questionable after being a limited practice participant all week. He was already playing through a PCL injury and is now set to play through an oblique injury as well, while fellow 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy (toe) has been ruled out for at least one more game.

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.

Bates (shoulder) was a full participant in Friday's practice.

Bates likely tweaked his shoulder during the Commanders' Week 5 win over the Chargers. He opened the week as a limited practice participant Thursday, but his ability to participate without restrictions Friday indicates that he should be good to go against the Bears on Monday. Bates played 41 snaps (30 on offense, 11 on special teams) and caught his first pass of the regular season for nine yards in Week 5.
