| Kyler Murray | QB | Injured Reserve | 2025-12-07 | Foot | Leg | Arizona head coach Jonathan Gannon announced that Jacoby Brissett will start Sunday's game in Seattle instead of Murray (foot), Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports. | After Monday's 27-17 win over the Cowboys, Gannon suggested that Murray would return to the starting role once fully recovered from a mid-foot sprain that has sidelined him for three straight games. However, John Gambadoro of Arizona Sports 98.7 FM relays that Gannon appeared to do an about-face on those comments a day later during a radio appearance, with the coach noting that he made the decision to go with Brissett as his starter in Week 10 even if Murray was 100 percent healthy. The coach made no declarations on his plans at quarterback beyond Week 10, but if Brissett continues to lead the offense effectively in Seattle, he could retain the No. 1 job. Murray was a limited practice participant in Week 9 prep, and it's unclear how close he might be to fully putting the foot injury behind him. According to Adam Schefter of ESPN, Murray was initially provided estimated recovery timelines ranging from 4-to-8 weeks, but he's already missed the lower end of that range. Gannon also acknowledged that Murray could still be a candidate for injured reserve, despite Murray not being officially ruled out from serving as Brissett's backup or as an emergency No. 3 quarterback in Week 10. | |
| Mack Wilson Sr. | LB | Questionable | 2025-11-09 | Ribs | Torso | Wilson (ribs) is questionable to return to Monday's game against the Cowboys. | Wilson appeared to sustain the injury early in the fourth quarter, and he is being evaluated by medical staff to determine whether he can return to Monday's game. Cody Simon should see additional work at linebacker for as long as Wilson is out of the game. | |
| Max Melton | CB | Questionable | 2025-11-09 | Concussion | Head | Melton (concussion) has been ruled out for the remainder of Monday's matchup against Dallas. | Melton was evaluated for a concussion in the second quarter and was officially ruled out late in the third period. During his time in the game, he logged four tackles (three solo). Melton will need to clear the NFL's five-step concussion protocol in order to be able to suit up in Sunday's Week 10 battle against Seattle. | |
| Trey Benson | RB | Injured Reserve | 2025-11-09 | Knee - Meniscus | Leg | Cardinals coach Jonathan Gannon said Wednesday that Benson (knee) is "doing well" but isn't ready to practice, Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic reports. | Benson is eligible to return from injured reserve for Sunday's game at Seattle, but it doesn't sound likely without a practice appearance at the start of the week. He's working his way back from arthroscopic surgery on a meniscus injury, with reports at the time (five weeks ago) suggesting a timeline of 4-to-6 weeks. Emari Demercado and Bam Knight split backfield work during Monday's 27-17 win over the Cowboys, while Michael Carter was active but didn't play. None of the bunch has shown much of anything that would stop a healthy Benson from getting another look in the lead role if/when everything checks out with his knee. | |
| Zay Jones | WR | Questionable | 2025-11-09 | Knee | Leg | Jones (knee) practiced in a limited capacity Wednesday, Zach Gershman of the Cardinals' official site reports. | Jones again is dealing with the knee injury that has lingered since Week 6 prep (i.e in advance of Arizona's last three games). He's suited up for all three and combined for seven catches (on 10 targets) for 146 yards and no touchdowns while working with QB Jacoby Brissett. With Kyler Murray's (foot) placement on IR on Wednesday, Jones will be on the receiving end of passes from Brissett for at least the next four contests, assuming the wide receiver is healthy enough to be active himself. |

| Chris Lindstrom | G | Questionable | 2025-11-09 | Foot | Leg | Head coach Raheem Morris told reporters Wednesday that Lindstrom (foot) is considered day-to-day, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports. | The veteran from Boston College suffered a foot injury in the fourth quarter of the Week 9 loss to the Patriots, so it's a positive sign that he's considered day-to-day. Lindstrom's practice participation throughout the week will likely provide the clearest indication of whether he can play in the Week 10 matchup against the Colts in Berlin. | |
| JD Bertrand | LB | Questionable | 2025-11-09 | Knee | Leg | questionable | questionable | |
| LaCale London | DE | Questionable | 2025-11-09 | Shoulder | Arm | London recorded five tackles (four solo), including 2.0 sacks and two tackles for loss in Sunday's 24-23 loss to the Patriots. | London returned from a three-game absence and logged a season-high 28 defensive snaps. He made good use of the opportunity by logging the first two sacks of his career. London is not particularly IDP relevant despite the strong showing. | |
| Leonard Floyd | DE | Questionable | 2025-11-09 | Hamstring | Leg | Floyd (hamstring) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Patriots, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports. | The edge rusher did not record a stat before exiting. Arnold Ebiketie is his backup. | |
| Matthew Bergeron | G | Doubtful | 2025-11-09 | Ankle | Leg | Head coach Raheem Morris told reporters Wednesday that Bergeron (ankle) is considered week-to-week and likely won't play in the Week 10 matchup against the Colts, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports. | The 25-year-old exited the Falcons' Week 9 loss to the Patriots with an ankle injury. While Bergeron is likely sidelined in Berlin on Sunday, expect Kyle Hinton to operate as Atlanta's top left guard. | |
| Mike Hughes | CB | Questionable | 2025-11-09 | Neck | Head | questionable | questionable | |
| Storm Norton | OT | Injured Reserve | 2025-11-09 | Foot | Leg | Norton (foot) has been ruled out for Sunday's Week 9 matchup versus the Patriots, Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com reports. | Norton underwent ankle surgery in late August and has been on injured reserve all season. He was designated to return Oct. 22 and logged two full practices to begin this week before being a non-participant Friday. The Falcons will need to activate him off IR by Nov. 12 or he'll be forced to miss the remainder of the campaign. | |

| Broderick Washington Jr. | DT | Injured Reserve | 2025-11-23 | Achilles | Leg | Head coach John Harbaugh told reporters Monday that Washington successfully underwent Achilles tendon surgery, Jonas Shaffer of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports. | Washington landed on injured reserve in late September due to what was initially listed as an ankle injury, but it's an Achilles injury that the 2020 fifth-rounder is rehabbing from. The injury isn't a tear, and while a timetable for his recovery hasn't been shared by the Ravens, Harbaugh relayed that a return for Washington is not "imminent." John Jenkins will continue to work in an elevated role on the defensive line for as long as Washington is sidelined. |

| AJ Epenesa | DE | Questionable | 2025-11-09 | Concussion | Head | Epenesa (concussion) did not participate at practice Wednesday. | Epenesa was quiet over 22 defensive snaps in Week 9 versus the Chiefs, but it's not clear if he suffered the concussion during that contest or sometime afterwards. Either way, he'll need to clear league concussion protocol by Sunday in order to suit up at Miami in Week 10. | |
| Christian Benford | CB | Questionable | 2025-11-09 | Groin | Groin | Benford (groin) was limited in practice Wednesday. | Benford played 100 percent of defensive snaps during Buffalo's win over the Chiefs in Week 9, a contest in which he tallied three tackles (two solo) including his first sack of the season. He'll look to ramp up his activity level at practice and gain clearance in time for Sunday's road divisional matchup against the Dolphins. | |
| DaQuan Jones | DT | Questionable | 2025-11-09 | Calf | Leg | Head coach Sean McDermott told reporters that Jones (calf) won't practice Wednesday, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports. | The 33-year-old has missed each of the Bills' last three games due to a calf injury, and Wednesday's DNP suggests he isn't nearing a return. Jones is one of Buffalo's top interior defensive linemen, recording eight total tackles, including 2.0 sacks, over just five appearances this season. If he's sidelined again in the Week 10 matchup against the Dolphins, expect Deone Walker to have an expanded role on the Bills' defense. | |
| Dorian Strong | CB | Injured Reserve | 2025-11-20 | Neck | Head | Head coach Sean McDermott was unable to provide a timeline on Strong's (neck) return Monday, Matt Parrino of The Syracuse Post-Standard reports. | Strong hasn't played since suffering a neck injury Week 4 against the Saints and will seemingly remain sidelined for an extended period of time. The rookie sixth-round pick recorded 10 tackles (nine solo) across four games before getting injured. | |
| James Cook III | RB | Questionable | 2025-11-09 | Ankle | Leg | Cook (ankle/foot) won't practice Wednesday, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports. | Per Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com, coach Sean McDermott noted the injury that sidelined Cook Wednesday popped up during this past Sunday's win over the Chiefs, while adding that the running back has been sore the last couple days. Cook thus has two more chances to practice ahead of this weekend's game against the Dolphins, but if he's limited or out in Week 10, added snaps would be available for Ty Johnson and Ray Davis. | |
| Joey Bosa | DE | Questionable | 2025-11-09 | Wrist | Arm | Head coach Sean McDermott told reporters that Bosa (wrist) won't practice Wednesday, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports. | Despite playing 44 defensive snaps and recording three total tackles, including 1.0 sacks, in Buffalo's Week 9 win over the Chiefs, the veteran defensive lineman appears to have sustained a wrist injury. Bosa's practice participation Thursday and Friday will likely provide the clearest indication on whether he can suit up for the Week 10 matchup against the Dolphins on Sunday. | |
| Joshua Palmer | WR | Questionable | 2025-11-09 | Knee | Leg | Palmer (knee/ankle) will be limited at practice Wednesday, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports. | Palmer, who last suited up in Week 6, was also limited this past Thursday and Friday, with the wideout now having two more chances to upgrade his participation level ahead of Sunday's game against the Dolphins. If Palmer ends up limited or remains sidelined this weekend, Tyrell Shavers, Curtis Samuel and Elijah Moore would be next in line for WR snaps behind Keon Coleman and Khalil Shakir. | |
| Michael Hoecht | DE | Injured Reserve | 2026-02-09 | Achilles | Leg | The Bills placed Hoecht on injured reserve Monday due to a torn right Achilles which will sideline him for the rest of the 2025, season, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports. | Hoecht sustained a non-contact injury during the Bills' 28-21 win over the Chiefs on Sunday, and the fifth-year defensive end was diagnosed with a torn Achilles after being evaluated by medical staff. He made his 2025 debut in Week 7 after missing the first six games of the regular season while serving a suspension, and he'll end his first campaign in Buffalo with five tackles (two solo), including 2.0 sacks. With Hoecht done for the year, the Bills will turn to Javon Solomon, A.J. Epenesa and Landon Jackson to step up in rotational roles at defensive end behind Greg Rousseau and Joey Bosa. | |
| Shaq Thompson | LB | Questionable | 2025-11-09 | Hamstring | Leg | Head coach Sean McDermott told reporters that Thompson (hamstring) won't practice Wednesday, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports. | Thompson was held out of the Bills' Week 9 win over the Chiefs due to a hamstring injury, so it's no surprise that he'll remain sidelined at Wednesday's practice. The 31-year-old likely needs to upgrade to at least a limited practice Thursday or Friday in order to play in the Week 10 contest against the Dolphins. If Thompson returns Sunday, he's expected to operate as the Bills' top reserve inside linebacker. | |
| Taron Johnson | CB | Questionable | 2025-11-09 | Groin | Groin | Head coach Sean McDermott told reporters that Johnson (groin) won't practice Wednesday, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports. | Johnson was sidelined for the Bills' Week 9 win over Chiefs due to a groin injury likely sustained in practice. The Weber State product is an integral part of Buffalo's secondary, recording 25 total tackles and two passes defended across six appearances this season. He likely needs to upgrade to at least limited practice Thursday or Friday to have a chance at playing in the Week 10 matchup against the Dolphins. | |
| Terrel Bernard | LB | Questionable | 2025-11-09 | Ankle | Leg | Bernard (ankle) was limited in practice Wednesday. | Bernard played 98 percent of defensive snaps during Buffalo's win over the Chiefs in Week 9, recording six tackles (four solo). The veteran linebacker has now tallied six or more stops in four of his last five appearances, giving him a solid fantasy floor in IDP formats. Bernard will have two more chances to officially upgrade to full practice reps before the Bills decide whether to assign him an injury designation for Sunday's road matchup against the Dolphins. |

| Chandler Zavala | G | Questionable | 2025-11-09 | Elbow | Arm | Zavala (elbow) didn't practice Wednesday, Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer reports. | Zavala returned from a knee injury in the Week 9 win over the Packers before exiting later in the game with an elbow issue. He'll likely need to log at least a limited practice session Thursday or Friday to have a chance at playing in the Week 10 matchup against the Saints. | |
| Lathan Ransom | S | Questionable | 2025-11-09 | Illness | Other | Ransom (illness) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports. | Ransom has served as one of Carolina's top reserve safeties in his first nine NFL games, recording 26 total tackles and one forced fumble over 294 total snaps (179 on defense, 115 on special teams). The rookie from Ohio State likely needs to upgrade to full practice Thursday or Friday to avoid an injury designation for the Week 10 matchup against the Saints. | |

| Cole Kmet | TE | Questionable | 2025-11-09 | Concussion | Head | Kmet (concussion) practiced in a limited capacity Wednesday. | Kmet left this past Sunday's game at Cincinnati in the second quarter and eventually was diagnosed with a concussion. Considering he's already able to mix into some drills just three days later signifies that he's progressing well through the protocol for head injuries, but he'll still need to gain clearance from an independent neurologist in order to play Sunday against the Giants. Rookie first-round pick Colston Loveland, who broke out with six catches for 118 yards and two touchdowns Week 9, is poised to have a larger role moving forward no matter when Kmet suits up again. | |
| D'Andre Swift | RB | Questionable | 2025-11-09 | Groin | Groin | Swift (groin) returned to practice Wednesday and said afterward that he'll play this Sunday against the Giants, Patrick Finley of the Chicago Sun-Times reports. | Swift played through the groin injury for at least two weeks and remained effective, but he was inactive for the shootout win at Cincinnati this past Sunday. He was then a limited participant Wednesday in his return to practice, telling reports afterward that he wanted to play last week but was held out by the team. Swift said he'll return this week, but fantasy managers still need to track the situation in light of Swift's acknowledgement that the decision isn't necessarily his to make. Fellow Bears running back Kyle Monangai (ankle) was also a limited practice participant Wednesday, after taking 26 carries for 176 yards in the thrilling win over Cincinnati. | |
| DJ Moore | WR | Questionable | 2025-11-09 | Hip | Leg | Moore (hip/groin) did not practice Wednesday. | Moore and Rome Odunze (ankle/heel) both began Week 9 as non-participants at practice before being cleared for Chicago's upset win over the Bengals, so both wideouts could simply set to again have their reps capped approaching Sunday's contest against the Giants. He managed to score twice versus Cincinnati, albeit in unorthodox fashion, with one passing touchdown (a connection to Caleb Williams) and one rushing score). Luther Burden (concussion) managed to practice in full Wednesday. | |
| Dayo Odeyingbo | DE | Injured Reserve | 2026-02-09 | Achilles | Leg | The Bears placed Odeyingbo (Achilles) on injured reserve Tuesday. | Odeyingbo sustained an Achilles injury during the Bears' 47-42 win over the Bengals on Sunday. The injury is severe enough for the 2021 second-rounder to be sidelined for the rest of the season, and it's unclear whether he'll be available for the start of the 2026 campaign. With Odeyingbo done for the year, the Bears solidified their depth on the defensive line by acquiring Joe Tryon-Shoyinka and a 2026 seventh-round pick via trade from the Browns on Tuesday in exchange for a 2026 sixth-round pick. | |
| Dominique Robinson | DE | Questionable | 2025-11-09 | Ankle | Leg | questionable | questionable | |
| Kevin Byard III | S | Questionable | 2025-11-09 | Back | Torso | questionable | questionable | |
| Kyle Monangai | RB | Questionable | 2025-11-09 | Ankle | Leg | Mongai was limited at practice Wednesday due to an ankle injury. | Monangai filled in for an absent D'Andre Swift (groin) this past Sunday in Cincinnati and rolled a leaky Bengals defense to the tune of 198 yards from scrimmage on 29 touches. He's now dealing with a health concern of his own, and both Monangai and Swift operated with a cap on their reps to begin Week 10 prep. The situation bears watching as the week continues to see who among the duo will be available Sunday versus the Giants. | |
| Luther Burden III | WR | Questionable | 2025-11-09 | Concussion | Head | Burden (concussion) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice. | Burden appears to be near gaining clearance from the NFL's concussion protocol, the last step of which involves consultation with an independent neurologist. The rookie second-round pick was unable to suit up Week 9 versus the Bengals due to his injury. Meanwhile, both DJ Moore (hip/groin) and Rome Odunze (ankle/heel) missed Wednesday's practice, though both managed to play through their injuries versus Cincinnati. | |
| Rome Odunze | WR | Questionable | 2025-11-09 | Ankle | Leg | Odunze (ankle/heel) did not practice Wednesday. | Odunze logged a DNP/LP/FP practice slate prior to being cleared to suit up for Chicago's narrow win over the Bengals in Week 9, so as long as he's able to put forth similar activity ahead of Sunday's game against the Giants he should be able to take the field. Versus Cincinnati, Odunze failed to haul in any of his three targets. DJ Moore (hip/groin) also missed practice Wednesday while Luther Burden (concussion) was a full participant. | |

| Samaje Perine | RB | Questionable | 2025-11-16 | Ankle | Leg | Bengals head coach Zac Taylor said that Perine sustained a high-ankle sprain in Sunday's 47-42 loss to the Bears and will need a couple of weeks to recover, Jay Morrison of SI.com reports. | Perine finished with five yards on his lone carry and was limited to six snaps (one on offense, five on special teams) before exiting Sunday's contest with the injury. Though Perine seems more likely than not to miss game action, he'll benefit from a Week 10 bye before the Bengals reassess his condition once they resume practicing ahead of their Week 11 game in Pittsburgh on Sunday, Nov. 16. Perine's early departure in Week 9 paved the way for starting running back Chase Brown to take on his largest snap share of the season (96 percent). | |
| Shemar Stewart | DE | Questionable | 2025-11-16 | Knee | Leg | Head coach Zac Taylor said Monday that Stewart is considered "week-to-week" due to a knee injury he sustained during the Bengals' 47-42 loss to the Bears, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports. | Stewart was officially ruled out toward the end of the fourth quarter, and he finished the contest with three tackles (one solo) while playing a season-high 49 snaps on defense. The Bengals are on a bye Week 10, so the additional time to rehab and recover means the rookie first-rounder could be available for Week 11 against the Steelers on Sunday, Nov. 16. | |

| Carson Schwesinger | LB | Questionable | 2025-11-09 | Ankle | Leg | Schwesinger (ankle) won't practice Wednesday, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports. | The rookie linebacker from UCLA sustained a high ankle sprain in the Browns' Week 8 loss to the Patriots, so it's no surprise he's sidelined following the team's Week 9 bye. Although Schwesinger's injury isn't considered to be "major," he'll likely be held out of the Week 10 matchup against the Jets unless he can upgrade to at least a limited practice session Thursday or Friday. | |
| Cedric Tillman | WR | Injured Reserve | 2025-11-09 | Hamstring | Leg | Tillman (hamstring) was a full practice participant Wednesday, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports. | Browns coach Kevin Stefanski said last Monday that Tillman was expected back after the Week 9 bye. A full practice confirms the wideout is on track to make that happen, likely stepping back in as a starter for an offense that's gotten just 632 cumulative receiving yards from its wide receivers this season. Poor QB play and an emphasis on the RBs/TEs are part of that, but it's also fair to say that neither Tillman nor Jerry Jeudy has shown the form that contributed to their respective hot streaks last season. Jeudy figures to continue starting anyway, with Tillman more likely to take snaps that have been going to Isaiah Bond (DNP - foot) and Jamari Thrash. | |
| Deshaun Watson | QB | Out | 2025-11-23 | Achilles | Leg | Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski said Monday that Watson (Achilles) won't have his 21-day practice window opened this week, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports. | Stefanski noted that he had no update on the status of Watson, though the lack of new information isn't necessarily a sign that the quarterback has experienced any sort of setback. Watson was always expected to be in line for a lengthy rehab process from the right Achilles tendon tear he sustained last October and then subsequently re-ruptured, which required a second surgery Jan. 9. Once Watson completes his rehab and advances to the point in his recovery that he's ready to practice, the Browns should have a better idea regarding whether the veteran signal-caller has a realistic chance at playing in games late in the 2025 season. | |
| Isaiah Bond | WR | Questionable | 2025-11-09 | Foot | Leg | Bond (foot) is not slated to practice Wednesday, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports. | Bond sustained a foot injury during Cleveland's loss to the Patriots in Week 8 and is still not back to full health after the Browns' bye week. He'll have two more chances to officially get back on the practice field ahead of Sunday's road matchup against the Jets. When asked about Bond's status for Week 10, head coach Kevin Stefanski said "we'll see how it goes the next couple days," per Oyefusi. Cedric Tillman (hamstring) had his 21-day practice window opened Monday, and when he returns to the field Bond will figure to drop down to No. 3 on the wide receiver depth chart. | |
| Isaiah McGuire | DE | Questionable | 2025-11-09 | Illness | Other | McGuire did not participate in Wednesday's practice due to an illness, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports. | McGuire is under the weather to start Week 10 prep, but he'll have two more opportunities to return to practice ahead of Sunday's game against the Jets. The third-year defensive end has logged 16 tackles (10 solo), including 1.0 sacks, and one forced fumbles through eight regular-season games. | |
| Myles Harden | CB | Questionable | 2025-11-09 | Ankle | Leg | questionable | questionable | |
| Shedeur Sanders | QB | Questionable | 2025-11-09 | Back | Torso | Sanders (back) will practice in a limited fashion Wednesday, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports. | Sanders has been dealing with back tightness over the past two weeks, so Wednesday's limited session comes as no surprise. Head coach Kevin Stefanski noted that the Browns will monitor the Colorado product over the next couple of days to determine whether he can operate as the team's No. 2 quarterback in the Week 10 matchup against the Jets. If Sanders is inactive, Bailey Zappe is likely to back up Dillon Gabriel. | |
| Tyson Campbell | CB | Questionable | 2025-11-09 | Concussion | Head | Campbell is in concussion protocol following Sunday's 32-13 loss to the Patriots, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports. | The fifth-year pro from Georgia played 44 defensive snaps and recorded five total tackles before exiting Sunday's loss with a concussion. Campbell must clear the NFL's five-step protocol before returning to the field, but he'll have additional time to rest with the Browns on a Week 9 bye. His next opportunity to take the field will come in Week 10 when the Browns face the Jets. |

| DeMarvion Overshown | LB | Out | 2025-11-17 | Knee - ACL + MCL | Leg | Head coach Brian Schottenheimer said Tuesday that Overshown (knee) is "trending" toward being activated from injured reserve ahead of the Cowboys' Week 11 clash against the Raiders on Monday, Nov. 17, Joe Hoyt of The Dallas Morning News reports. | Overshown is in the final stages of his rehab from a torn ACL, MCL and PCL that he suffered in December. His 21-day practice window opened Oct. 22, and while he wasn't ready to return for Weeks 8 and 9, the expectation is that he'll be available to make his 2025 debut in Week 11. Overshown's return would bolster a Cowboys linebacker corps that will be without Jack Sanborn (groin) for at least four games after the latter was placed on injured reserve Monday. | |
| Donovan Wilson | S | Out | 2025-11-17 | Elbow | Arm | out | out | |
| Logan Wilson | LB | Out | 2025-11-16 | Calf | Leg | The Cowboys acquired Wilson (calf) from the Bengals on Tuesday in exchange for a 2026 seventh-round draft pick, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports. | Wilson, who requested to be dealt last month after his snaps had decreased, is thus in line to move from one struggling defense to another. Once he moves past the calf issue that sidelined him in Week 9, the 29-year-old will provided a needed boost to the Cowboys linebacker corps. Wilson will be under contract through 2027 after signing a four-year, $36 million extension with the Bengals in July 2023. In eight games with the Bengals this season, Wilson has recorded 46 tackles, and he notched at least 100 stops in each of the previous four campaigns. With Dallas on bye in Week 10, Wilson will have added time to recover from his injury, as well as acclimate himself to his new team's defensive system. | |
| Markquese Bell | S | Questionable | 2025-11-17 | Lower Body | Bell is questionable to return on Monday's Week 9 matchup against the Cardinals due to cramps. | Bell left the field early in the fourth quarter and was subsequently deemed questionable to return. If he's unable to get back to action, C.J. Goodwin, Caelen Carson or Zion Childress could see some snaps on defense. | ||
| Shavon Revel Jr. | CB | Out | 2025-11-17 | Knee - ACL | Leg | Head coach Brian Schottenheimer told reporters Tuesday that Revel (knee) is "trending" toward making his 2025 debut in the Cowboys' Week 11 road tilt against the Raiders on Monday, Nov. 17, Joe Hoyt of The Dallas Morning News reports. | The rookie third-rounder is inching closer to making his NFL debut. Revel started the regular season on the reserve/non-football injured list while recovering from a torn ACL that he sustained during his final collegiate season at East Carolina in September of 2024. Revel was limited in practice during Week 9 prep, and with the Cowboys on the bye Week 10, he'll have additional time to progress in his recovery and be available for Week 11 in Las Vegas. | |
| Solomon Thomas | DT | Questionable | 2025-11-17 | Calf | Leg | Thomas is questionable to return to Monday's clash against the Cardinals due to a calf issue. | Thomas was deemed questionable to return with less than six minutes remaining in the fourth quarter, so there's not much time for him to get back on the field. He logged one tackle prior to his exit. | |
| Terence Steele | OT | Questionable | 2025-11-17 | Migraine | Head | Steele was added to the Cowboys' injury report for Monday's game against the Cardinals due to a migraine but will be active for the game, Calvin Watkins of The Dallas Morning News reports. | Although Steele will be active for Monday night's game, it's unclear whether he'll start at right tackle or be available off the bench as an emergency option. Hakeem Adeniji (coach's decision) and Ajani Cornelius (knee) are both inactive for Week 9, so Nate Thomas could fill in at right tackle if Steele does not start. |

| Brandon Jones | S | Questionable | 2025-11-06 | Foot | Leg | Jones (foot) was a limited participant in Tuesday's walkthrough. | Jones was listed as a non-participant in Monday's estimated practice report, so this was a step in the right direction. His participation Wednesday should shed further light on his status for Thursday's game against the Raiders. | |
| Marvin Mims Jr. | WR | Out | 2025-11-16 | Concussion | Head | Mims (concussion) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against Las Vegas. | The Broncos listed Mims as a limited practice participant Tuesday and Wednesday, hinting at a degree of practice and potential return for Week 11 against Kansas City (Nov. 16). With Mims out for the past game and a half, Troy Franklin and Pat Bryant took on more snaps alongside Courtland Sutton. It'll likely be the same story Thursday night, with Trent Sherfield also having a role as the No. 4 receiver. | |

Once healthy, the 25-year-old should contribute as a depth defender. | |

| Miles Frazier | G | Out | 2025-11-16 | Knee | Leg | Frazier (knee) was designated to return from the reserve/PUP list Wednesday, Richard Silva of The Detroit News reports. | Frazier has missed the Lions' first eight games this season due to a knee injury, but it now appears he's nearing a return. The Lions now have 21 days to activate the rookie offensive lineman to the active roster before reverting to the reserve/PUP list, and he's likely to operate as one of Detroit's top reserve guards once fully healthy. | |

| Penei Sewell | OT | Questionable | 2025-11-09 | Shoulder | Arm | Sewell sustained a lower-body injury during the Lions' 27-24 loss to the Vikings on Sunday, Justin Rogers of Detroit Football Network reports. | Sewell was also poked in the eye prior to his lower-body injury but didn't end up missing a single offensive snap. Head coach Dan Campbell told reporters after Sunday's game that Sewell will undergo more tests to determine the severity of the injury, but the 2021 first-rounder is in jeopardy of missing the Lions' Week 10 clash against the Commanders this Sunday. Dan Skipper entered the game at left tackle for Taylor Decker after the latter sustained a knee injury, so the Lions may have to turn to Kayode Awosika and Trystan Colon to fill in at right tackle if Sewell is not cleared to play against Washington. |

| Aaron Banks | G | Questionable | 2025-11-10 | Neck | Head | Banks has a stinger and is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Panthers, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports. | The starting left guard has dealt with groin, knee, shin, ankle and back issues this year, though he has still managed to start six games. Sean Rhyan is the third guard for Green Bay on Sunday. | |
| Colby Wooden | DT | Questionable | 2025-11-10 | Shoulder | Arm | Wooden (shoulder) has been downgraded to out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Panthers. | The defensive tackle suffered the injury in the first half and had to be evaluated in the medical tent. Wooden did not get on the stat sheet before exiting. Devonte Wyatt and Karl Brooks could see more time in his absence. | |

| Matthew Golden | WR | Questionable | 2025-11-10 | Shoulder | Arm | Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said Monday that the shoulder injury Golden suffered in Sunday's 16-13 loss to the Panthers isn't a long-term concern, and the rookie wideout is viewed as day-to-day rather than week-to-week, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports. | Before exiting the game in the third quarter, Golden was on the field for 24 snaps and finished with two catches for nine yards on three targets. While he appears to have avoided a serious injury, his availability for the Packers' Week 10 matchup with the Eagles next Monday will be determined by his practice activity. The Packers will return to the field Thursday for their first session of the week. | |
| Nate Hobbs | CB | Doubtful | 2025-11-10 | Knee - MCL | Leg | Head coach Matt LaFleur said Monday that Hobbs is expected to miss at least two games due to a Grade 1 MCL sprain, Ryan Woods of PackersNews.com reports. | The injury is not to the same knee that was surgically repaired during training camp, but Woods relays that Hobbs started to feel knee pain during the Packers' Week 4 tie against the Cowboys. He played just 21 snaps (19 on defense, two on special teams) during the Packers' 16-13 loss to the Panthers on Sunday, and further tests on the knee revealed a Grade 1 sprain that will keep the fifth-year corner out for at least two games, though the injury isn't severe enough to require surgery. With Hobbs sidelined for Weeks 10 and 11, his next opportunity to play will be Week 12 against the Vikings on Sunday, Nov. 23. | |
| Nick Niemann | LB | Injured Reserve | 2025-11-27 | Pectoral | Torso | Niemann (pectoral) was placed on injured reserve Saturday. | Niemann has been exclusively a special-teams contributor this season, logging 115 snaps for the Packers unit before suffering a pectoral injury in last Sunday's win over the Steelers. Niemann's move to the injured reserve makes room for linebacker Kristian Welch to be signed to the active roster. Welch will likely take over Niemann's special-teams snaps for the foreseeable future. | |
| Tucker Kraft | TE | Injured Reserve | 2026-02-09 | Knee - ACL | Leg | The Packers placed Kraft (knee) on injured reserve Tuesday. | Kraft's move to IR was merely a formality after head coach Matt LaFleur confirmed Monday that the third-year tight end sustained a season-ending ACL tear in Sunday's 16-13 loss to the Panthers. Luke Musgrave will serve as the Packers' top pass-catching option at TE. |

| C.J. Stroud | QB | Out | 2025-11-16 | Concussion | Head | Coach DeMeco Ryans noted Wednesday that Stroud (concussion) "will be out" Sunday against the Jaguars, Adam Schefter of ESPN and Ian Rapoport of NFL Network report. | With Stroud in the NFL's concussion protocol and not slated to be available this weekend, Davis Mills is in line to draw the start at QB for Houston on Sunday. Stroud's next chance to see game action will occur in Week 11, when the Texans play Tennessee on the road. | |
| Dalton Schultz | TE | Questionable | 2025-11-09 | Knee | Leg | Schultz (knee/shoulder) was limited at practice Wednesday. | Schultz, who continues to manage knee and shoulder issues, didn't practice either Wednesday or Thursday last week before logging a full practice Friday and playing in the Texans' Week 9 loss to the Broncos, a game in which he caught six of his eight targets for a team-high 77 yards. With no reported setbacks in that contest, the tight end's listed limitations Wednesday are presumably maintenance-related. | |
| Darrell Taylor | DE | Injured Reserve | 2025-12-07 | Ankle | Leg | Taylor (ankle) was placed on the injured reserve list Wednesday. | The 28-year-old sustained an ankle injury in the Texans' Week 9 loss to the Broncos, and his placement on IR on Wednesday suggests the issue is serious. Taylor will now be forced to miss the team's next four games, with his earliest possible return coming in the Week 14 matchup against the Chiefs. | |

| Jaylin Smith | CB | Injured Reserve | 2025-12-07 | Undisclosed | Other | Smith (undisclosed) was placed on the injured reserve list Wednesday. | The 2025 third-round pick from USC played 33 total snaps (25 on special teams, eight on defense) and recorded two total tackles in the Texans' Week 9 loss to the Broncos, but he appears to have sustained an injury in the process. Smith will now be forced to miss the team's next four games on IR. Expect Tremon Smith to operate as Houston's top reserve boundary corner while the rookie is sidelined. | |
| Jimmie Ward | S | Out | 2025-11-09 | Foot | Leg | Head coach DeMeco Ryans said Monday that Ward (foot) could return to practice within a few weeks, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports. | Ward is on the reserve/PUP list as he continues to recover from offseason foot surgery. While a return for the veteran corner isn't imminent, he appears to be on track to return during the second half of the regular season. Ward's absence, coupled with the Texans releasing C.J. Gardner-Johnson in late September, has allowed M.J. Stewart to step into a starting role at safety alongside Calen Bullock. | |
| Ka'imi Fairbairn | PK | Questionable | 2025-11-09 | Quadriceps | Leg | Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans said Wednesday he "does not" expect Fairbairn (quadriceps) to be available for Sunday's matchup against the Jaguars, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports. | Fairbairn went 5-for-6 on field-goal attempts during Houston's 18-15 loss to Denver in Week 9, scoring all of the Texans' points, but he sustained a quadriceps injury in the process. If Fairbairn is indeed unable to play Sunday, Matthew Wright will be elevated from the practice squad and handle kicking duties versus Jacksonville. C.J. Stroud (concussion) has already been ruled out for Week 10, and with Davis Mills under center Houston's offense could struggle to manufacture scoring opportunities. | |
| Nick Chubb | RB | Questionable | 2025-11-09 | Foot | Leg | Chubb was held out of Wednesday's practice due to a foot injury, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports. | When reporters asked about Chubb's absence, Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans simply responded, "we'll see as the week goes on." There was no clear sign of trouble during Sunday's 18-15 loss to the Broncos, with Chubb taking 11 carries for 34 yards while playing 36 percent of snaps on offense, including a 40 percent snap share and two carries during the fourth quarter. Woody Marks will likely get more playing time if Chubb isn't available Sunday against Jacksonville, but Dare Ogunbowale, Dameon Pierce and British Brooks could also mix in for a few snaps/touches. | |

The wide receiver has now opened the week on the sidelines at practice, but he'll have two more chances to return to the field prior to Sunday's matchup with the Falcons. | |
| Charvarius Ward | CB | Injured Reserve | 2025-11-23 | Concussion | Head | Ward (concussion) was spotted doing work on the field with a trainer Wednesday, Joel A. Erickson of The Indianapolis Star reports. | Ward has missed each of the Colts' last four games and remains on the injured reserve list due to a concussion, but Wednesday's workout suggests he may be nearing a return. The Middle Tennessee product must stay on IR for at least one more game, making the Week 12 matchup against the Chiefs his earliest possible return. Ward will likely be designated to return from IR in the near future if he continues to progress. | |
| DeForest Buckner | DT | Questionable | 2025-11-09 | Neck | Head | Buckner (neck) did not participate at practice Wednesday. | Buckner is dealing with an apparent neck issue, which forced him to sit out the team's first practice of the week. The defensive lineman recorded four total tackles (two solo) in the team's 27-20 loss to the Steelers in Week 9, and it's possible that he suffered the injury in the contest. Buckner will have two more chances to return to practice ahead of Sunday's matchup with the Falcons in Germany. | |

Thursday's injury report will provide added context with regard to his status for Sunday's game against the Falcons, but it Pittman is hindered at all this weekend, Ashton Dulin would be a candidate for an uptick in snaps alongside Alec Pierce and Josh Downs. | ||

His ability to practice in full Wednesday is a sign that he is progressing through the league's five-step concussion protocol, but he'll need to be cleared by an independent neurologist in order to make his Colts debut against the Falcons on Sunday. | |
| Tyquan Lewis | DE | Questionable | 2025-11-09 | Groin | Groin | Lewis (groin) did not participate at practice Wednesday. | Lewis has missed the team's last two contests while nursing a groin injury, and he is still working his way through it. The defensive lineman was able to log back-to-back full practices to end last week, but he now may have gone backwards in his recovery. Lewis will have two more chances to return to practice before Sunday's game against the Falcons in Germany. |

Per Schefter, the wideout has a chance to play Sunday against the Texans, but Wednesday's absence now gives Thomas two more opportunities to practice before the Jaguars' Week 10 injury designations are assigned. With Thomas banged up, Travis Hunter (knee) on IR, Dyami Brown having sustained a concussion this past Sunday, and Tim Patrick (groin) also injured, the Jaguars' WR depth is currently taxed, a situation the team addressed by trading for Jakobi Meyers on Tuesday. | |

The Jaguars then traded for Jakobi Meyers on Tuesday and got Tim Patrick (groin) back to full practice participation Wednesday, adding to the long list of potential starters at WR for Sunday's game against Houston. Much will depend on the health of Thomas and Brown. | |
| Ezra Cleveland | G | Questionable | 2025-11-09 | Ankle | Leg | Cleveland (ankle/knee) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Raiders. | Cleveland will be held out for the rest of Sunday's contest after suffering ankle and knee injuries.

| Hunter Long | TE | Questionable | 2025-11-09 | Hip | Leg | Long (hip/knee) is not participating in the early portion of Wednesday's practice open to the media, Michael DiRocco of ESPN.comreports. | Long remains positioned as Jacksonville's incumbent top tight end with Brenton Strange (quadriceps) not expected to come off IR until Week 11 at the earliest. However, due to a tandem of injuries Long's status now also appears uncertain for Sunday's road matchup against the Texans. He briefly exited Jacksonville's narrow win over the Raiders in Week 9 as a result of his hip and knee injuries, but managed to retake the field and finish with a 66 percent snap share on offense. | |

| Jourdan Lewis | CB | Questionable | 2025-11-09 | Shoulder | Arm | Lewis (shoulder) was not spotted at Wednesday's practice, Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com reports. | Lewis was forced out of Jacksonville's narrow Week 9 win over the Raiders early due to a shoulder issue, and it looks like his availability for Sunday's road matchup against the Texans is uncertain as a result. After Lewis' early departure versus Las Vegas and with Travis Hunter (knee) on IR, Jarrian Jones stepped into a starting role on defense and tallied a season-high 10 tackles (six solo) plus one pass defensed. |

Trep Pipkins has taken over at right tackle in Hart's absence. | |
| Hassan Haskins | RB | Injured Reserve | 2025-12-08 | Hamstring | Leg | The Chargers placed Haskins (hamstring) on injured reserve Saturday. | Haskins was already ruled out for Sunday's game against the Titans due to a hamstring injury that he sustained during the Chargers' Week 7 loss to the Colts. The injury is severe enough for the fourth-year pro to warrant a stint on injured reserve, which will force him to miss at least the next four games, making Week 14 against the Eagles on Monday, Dec. 8 the earliest he can be activated from IR. Kimani Vidal will be the Chargers' clear RB1 moving forward, with Haskins joining fellow running backs Omarion Hampton (ankle) and Najee Harris (Achilles) on injured reserve. The Chargers elevated Jaret Patterson and Amar Johnson from the practice squad to the active roster to provide backfield depth behind Vidal for Week 9. | |

Hampton looks set to remain sidelined for at least three more weeks, with his earliest potential return date coming Sunday, Nov. 30 against the Raiders. Los Angeles is expected to proceed with Kimani Vidal and Jaret Patterson as its main options out of the backfield for at least the next two games. | |

McVay said "the hope and optimism" is that Williams will suit up on the road against San Francisco on Sunday. With Ahkello Witherspoon (collarbone) on IR and not expected to return until at least December, it will represent a notable boost for Los Angeles' defense if Williams is indeed able to get back on the field. | |
| Puka Nacua | WR | Questionable | 2025-11-09 | Ribs | Torso | Coach Sean McVay said that imaging on Nacua's ribs was returned negative, and while the wide receiver will be limited at Wednesday's practice, he should be able to play Sunday at San Francisco, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports. | Nacua exited early from this past Sunday's win against the Saints with what initially was termed a chest injury, but McVay clarified afterward that he hurt his ribs. McVay then told Gary Klein of the Los Angeles Times on Monday that he felt "optimistic... in regard to where we're potentially heading." There's a decent chance Nacua has practice restrictions all week, with Friday's injury report to reveal whether or not he enters the weekend with a designation for Sunday's game. | |
| Tutu Atwell | WR | Injured Reserve | 2025-11-30 | Hamstring | Leg | The Rams placed Atwell (hamstring) on injured reserve Monday. | Atwell missed Week 6 due to a hamstring injury and handled just 10 offensive snaps while playing through the issue Week 7. Now coming off Los Angeles' bye, it appears he suffered a setback of some sort. The undersized deep threat now will be forced to miss at least the next four games while on IR, making his first opportunity to retake the field Sunday, Nov. 30 versus the Panthers in Week 13. On a positive note for the Rams, Puka Nacua (ankle) could be back in action Week 9. |

The defensive tackle had arguably his best game of the season last week with five tackles, but with his back seemingly bothering him again, it is unknown if he will be ready for Thursday's game against Denver. | |

| Isaiah Pola-Mao | S | Questionable | 2025-11-06 | Hip | Leg | Pola-Mao (hip) was listed as a limited participant in Tuesday's practice, Ryan McFadden of ESPN.com reports. | Pola-Mao popped up on the injury report once again this week, but this time with a different injury. The former USC Trojan was dealing with a knee and ankle injury last week, but now has a hip problem. He was estimated to be a full participant in Monday's walkthrough, so the downgrade in status isn't a great sign for a short week. | |

Although Robinson hasn't been ruled out for the Week 10 matchup against the Bills, head coach Mike McDaniel didn't sound too optimistic about his availability Sunday, per Louis-Jacques. | |

If he's able to gain clearance for Sunday's game against the Bills, Hill will get a chance to operate as the No. 1 tight end for Miami, with Darren Waller (pectoral) still on IR. In Hill's absence, Greg Dulcich has shown flashes as a pass-catcher while working alongside Tanner Conner. | |
| Ollie Gordon II | RB | Questionable | 2025-11-09 | Ankle | Leg | Gordon (ankle) practiced in a limited capacity Wednesday, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports. | Gordon is already handling limited reps after having been forced out of Miami's loss to Baltimore on Thursday due to an ankle injury. The rookie running back is reportedly considered day-to-day, so it wouldn't be out of the question for him to gain clearance in time for Sunday's game against the Bills. Per Furones, he said Wednesday that his ankle is 'OK.' If Gordon isn't able to play Week 10, however, Jaylen Wright will project to handle No. 2 backfield duties behind De'Von Achane. | |

It was the third time in five games that he logged at least six tackles in a game, and the veteran corner has 36 tackles (25 solo), including 1.0 sacks, five pass defenses and one forced fumble through nine regular-season games. Douglas' practice participation during Week 10 prep will provide clarity on his chances of playing against the Bills on Sunday, Nov. 9. | |

| Aaron Jones Sr. | RB | Questionable | 2025-11-09 | Shoulder - AC Joint | Arm | Jones (shoulder/toe) didn't practice Wednesday. | Jones revealed after this past Sunday's win at Detroit that his early departure was due to an AC joint sprain in his right shoulder. As the Vikings reconvened Wednesday to kick off Week 10 prep, his absence was attributed to shoulder and toe issues. The latter was unknown until now, so his status will be watched closely as the week continues to see if he's in any danger of missing Sunday's game against the Ravens. | |

| Ryan Kelly | C | Injured Reserve | 2025-11-16 | Concussion | Head | Head coach Kevin O'Connell told reporters Monday that Kelly (IR, concussion) will begin working off to the side of practice this week, Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com reports. | O'Connell also noted that this doesn't necessarily mean the Vikings will open Kelly's 21-day practice window, it's just a step in the right direction for his return. The veteran center was placed on injured reserve in early October after sustaining two concussions through Minnesota's first four games. | |
| Theo Jackson | S | Questionable | 2025-11-09 | Concussion | Head | Head coach Kevin O'Connell told reporters Monday that Jackson is in concussion protocol following Sunday's 27-24 win over the Lions, Ben Goessling of The Minnesota Star Tribune reports. | Jackson played just 25 total snaps (15 on defense, 10 on special teams) before exiting Sunday's win, recording two total tackles. The 27-year-old's practice participation throughout the week should provide the clearest indication of his availability for the Week 10 matchup against the Ravens, though he'll need to clear the NFL's five-step concussion protocol in order to suit up. |

| Christian Elliss | LB | Questionable | 2025-11-09 | Hip | Leg | Head coach Mike Vrabel told reporters that Elliss (hip) won't practice Wednesday, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports. | The Idaho product didn't return to the Patriots' Week 9 win over the Falcons after exiting with a hip injury, so it's no surprise that he'll miss Wednesday's practice. Elliss likely needs to upgrade to at least limited participation Thursday or Friday to have a chance at returning for the Week 10 matchup against the Buccaneers. If he's inactive for the first time this season, Jack Gibbens is likely to have an expanded role in New England's inside linebacker corps. | |
| Christian Gonzalez | CB | Questionable | 2025-11-09 | Concussion | Head | Gonzalez (head) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Falcons, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports. | The cornerback had seven tackles (six solo) and two pass breakups at the time of his exit. Alex Austin and Charles Woods are the available backup corners for New England. | |
| Kayshon Boutte | WR | Questionable | 2025-11-09 | Hamstring | Leg | Boutte (hamstring) won't practice Wednesday, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports. | With a 'DNP' to start the week, Boutte's status for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers remains cloudy. If he ends up limited or out in Week 10, Kyle Williams would likely see added snaps, with Stefon Diggs, DeMario Douglas and Mack Hollins available to handle targets that might otherwise go to Boutte. | |
| Rhamondre Stevenson | RB | Questionable | 2025-11-09 | Toe | Leg | Stevenson (toe) won't practice Wednesday, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports. | Stevenson, who was inactive for the Patriots' Week 9 win over the Falcons, has two more chances to practice before injury designations are assigned for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers. In his absence versus Atlanta, TreVeyon Henderson started and logged a 75 percent snap share, en route to carrying 14 times and being targeted six times, while Terrell Jennings was on the field for 25 percent of the team's snaps on offense, rushing 11 times and recording one target. |

| Alvin Kamara | RB | Questionable | 2025-11-09 | Ankle | Leg | Kamara (ankle) practiced in a limited fashion Wednesday, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports. | Kamara has been playing through an ankle injury the last four games, a stretch in which he's mustered just 167 yards from scrimmage and no TDs on 44 touches. With Kendre Miller out for the season due to a torn ACL, rookie sixth-rounder Devin Neal has taken over the No. 2 role the past two contests but managed only 23 total yards and no scores on seven touches himself. There's no indication Kamara is in danger of sitting out Sunday in Carolina or even losing his grip on the top backfield job in New Orleans, but the going has been rough for him and the rest of the Saints offense of late. | |
| Jack Stoll | TE | Doubtful | 2025-11-09 | Ankle | Leg | Head coach Kellen Moore said Monday that Stoll sustained a high-ankle sprain during the Saints' 34-10 loss to the Rams on Sunday, Ross Jackson of WWL Louisiana reports. | Stoll was carted to the locker room during the fourth quarter of Sunday's game and is considered week-to-week due to a high-ankle sprain. He's unlikely to be available for this Sunday's game against the Panthers, but with the Saints on a bye Week 11, he may have enough time to recover and return in Week 12 against the Falcons on Sunday, Nov. 23. Zaire Mitchell-Paden and Foster Moreau should see more snaps at tight end behind Juwan Johnson for as long as Stoll is sidelined. | |
| Taliese Fuaga | OT | Doubtful | 2025-11-09 | Ankle | Leg | Head coach Kellen Moore told reporters Monday that Fuaga is considered week-to-week after sustaining a high-ankle sprain in Sunday's 34-10 loss to the Rams, Ross Jackson of WWL Louisiana reports. | The second-year pro from Oregon State is likely to be sidelined for at least the Week 10 matchup against the Panthers following Sunday's high-ankle sprain. If Fuaga is inactive as expected, Asim Richards is likely to operate as the Saints' top right tackle. |

Jalin Hyatt and Ray-Ray McCloud should see more offensive snaps in Collins' absence. | |

The Giants are still rostering two kickers (Younghoe Koo and Jude McAtamney) on the practice squad as insurance in the event Gano needs to miss any time. Ultimately, Gano likely will need to practice Thursday and/or Friday in order a chance to be active Sunday in Chicago. | |

All of them have come with rookie first-round pick Jaxson Dart directing the offense, but Johnson now is dealing with a health concern. Johnson's status will be monitored as the week goes on to get a sense of his odds to suit up Sunday in Chicago. | |

| Andre Cisco | S | Injured Reserve | 2026-02-09 | Pectoral | Torso | Cisco (pectoral) was placed on the injured reserve list Wednesday. | Cisco is expected to miss the remainder of the Jets' 2025 campaign after tearing his pectoral muscle in the Week 8 win of the Bengals. He started in all eight of New York's games this season, recording 41 total tackles and one pass defended. Expect Tony Adams and Dean Clark to operate as the Jets' top free safeties for the rest of the season. | |
| Garrett Wilson | WR | Questionable | 2025-11-09 | Knee | Leg | Wilson (knee) was limited at practice Wednesday, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports. | Wilson hasn't played since suffering a hyperextended knee during Week 6 action, but the wideout's return to practice -- albeit in a limited capacity -- following the Jets' bye, has him trending in the right direction ahead of Sunday's game against the Browns. Wilson now has two more chances to upgrade his participation level before the Jets post their Week 10 injury designations Friday. Prior to his injury, the 2022 first-rounder recorded 36 catches for 395 yards and four TDs (on 56 targets) in six games, marks that still pace the Jets' pass-catching corps. | |

| Kiko Mauigoa | LB | Questionable | 2025-11-09 | Concussion | Head | Mauigoa (concussion) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports. | Mauigoa entered the league's concussion protocol following the Jets' Week 8 win over the Bengals. He had additional time to progress in his recovery thanks to the Jets' Week 9 bye and was able to participate in Wednesday's practice. However, even if Mauigoa practices in full Thursday or Friday, he would need to be clear an evaluation from an independent neurologist in order to be allowed to play against the Browns on Sunday. The rookie fifth-rounder has 34 tackles (13 solo) through the first eight regular-season games of his NFL career. |

He won't be able to return until at least Week 14. | |
| Nolan Smith Jr. | LB | Injured Reserve | 2025-11-10 | Triceps | Arm | Philadelphia designated Smith (triceps) for return to practice from its injured reserve list Tuesday. | Smith was originally placed on injured reserve with a lingering triceps injury after Week 3 versus the Rams, but it now appears he's on track to returning to the field soon. The Eagles will have 21 days to officially activate Smith before they would be required to keep him on injured reserve for the remainder of the season. |

| Alex Highsmith | LB | Questionable | 2025-11-09 | Ankle | Leg | Highsmith recorded four tackles (three solo), including 2.0 sacks, one pass defense and one forced fumble during the Steelers' 27-20 win over the Colts on Sunday. | Both of Highsmith's sacks came in the second half, with the latter resulting in a fumble that was recovered by Derrick Harmon and led to a Chris Boswell 46-yard field goal six plays later in the fourth quarter. Highsmith is now up to 3.5 sacks over six regular-season games, which is tied with Keeanu Benton for third most on the Steelers behind T.J. Watt (5.0) and Nick Herbig (4.5). | |

| Cory Trice Jr. | CB | Injured Reserve | 2025-11-09 | Hamstring | Leg | Trice (hamstring) suffered a knee injury during Thursday's practice, Alan Saunders of SteelersNow.com reports. | Trice began the season on injured reserve due to a hamstring injury he sustained during training camp. He was designated to return from IR on Wednesday but injured his knee during Thursday's session, which caused him to miss Friday's practice before being ruled out for Week 9 against the Colts. Saunders relays that the new injury complicates things for Trice and the Steelers, as the third-year pro would be forced to sit for the entire 2025 season if he's not activated from IR during his 21-day practice window. Trice's practice participation during Week 10 prep should provide more clarity on the state of his hamstring and knee injuries. | |

| AJ Barner | TE | Questionable | 2025-11-09 | Calf | Leg | Barner was limited at Wednesday's walkthrough due to a calf injury, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports. | Barner has earned at least an 80 percent snap share in six of eight games this season, but the cumulative results in the box score (21 catches for 236 yards on 26 targets) have been tepid aside from his penchant for getting in the end zone, which he's done four times. He'll have two more opportunities to get back to full this week, or else risk entering the weekend with a designation for Sunday's contest against the Cardinals. | |
| Cooper Kupp | WR | Questionable | 2025-11-09 | Hamstring | Leg | Kupp (hamstring/heel) was a non-participant at Wednesday's walkthrough, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports. | Coach Mike Macdonald told Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic earlier Wednesday that Kupp would be limited to begin Week 10 prep, but instead he didn't log any work. Kupp now has been listed as DNP on back-to-back injury reports dating back to last week as he tends to hamstring and heel issues, but he'll have two more chances to practice this week before the Seahawks potentially make a ruling on his status for Sunday's game against the Cardinals. Since Kupp was sidelined this past Sunday in Washington, Tory Horton stepped up behind No. 1 WR Jaxon Smith-Njigba and notched four catches (on four targets) for 48 yards and two touchdowns, and Seattle then acquired Rashid Shaheed from the Saints before Tuesday's trade deadline, so the pecking order at the position seemingly will be different once Kupp is healthy enough to play. | |

| Eric Saubert | TE | Injured Reserve | 2025-11-30 | Calf | Leg | Saubert (calf) was placed on injured reserve Saturday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports. | Saubert was unable to practice all week due to his calf injury, and his movement to injured reserve gives Nick Kallerup at least four weeks of opportunity for more offensive snaps at tight end behind AJ Barner and Elijah Arroyo. According to Boyle, a main reason for the move to injured reserve is making space on the active roster for additions such as safety Jerrick Reed II. | |
| Ernest Jones IV | LB | Questionable | 2025-11-09 | Knee | Leg | Jones (knee) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday night's contest against the Commanders. | Jones is dealing with an apparent knee injury, which he likely suffered in the first half, and he'll now be forced to take a seat until the conclusion of Sunday Night Football. In his absence, Tyrice Knight and Chazz Surratt are candidates to step into larger roles at interior linebacker versus Washington. | |

In his absence, Nehemiah Pritchett stands to see an uptick in usage at cornerback versus Washington. |

| Brandon Aiyuk | WR | Out | 2025-11-16 | Knee - ACL + MCL | Leg | San Francisco head coach Kyle Shanahan said Wednesday that he's "pretty confident" Aiyuk (knee) will play at some point this season, David Lombardi of SFStandard.com reports. | That's probably not what fantasy managers want to hear, though it was already made clear Monday that Aiyuk isn't exactly close to a return. He's still on injured reserve, with no designation to return to practice this week, and then he's presumably looking at a multi-week ramp up whenever he does begin practicing. A game appearance before December would be surprising. | |
| Brock Purdy | QB | Questionable | 2025-11-09 | Toe | Leg | Coach Kyle Shanahan said Purdy (toe) will be limited at Wednesday's practice, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports. | Purdy has missed seven of the last eight games due to a nagging turf toe injury, and while he has yet to progress to a full practice, Shanahan told Barrows that the 49ers plan for Purdy to take on more first-team reps this week. It's unclear if that means Purdy has a chance to return to action for the first time since Week 4 on Sunday against the Rams, but if that doesn't come to pass, Mac Jones again would be lined up to lead San Francisco's offense Week 10. | |

| Mykel Williams | DE | Out | 2026-02-09 | Knee - ACL | Leg | Head coach Kyle Shanahan said Monday that Williams tore his ACL during the fourth quarter of Sunday's 34-24 win over the Giants, Matt Barrows and Dianna Russini of The Athletic report. | Shanahan noted that there was some damage to the lateral meniscus in Williams' knee but no other ligament damage beyond the ACL, which means the rookie first-rounder has a chance to be available for the start of the 2026 campaign. It's yet another season-ending injury for the 49ers defense, with Williams stepping into a larger role on the defensive line after Nick Bosa tore his ACL in Week 3 against the Cardinals and All-Pro linebacker Fred Warner lost for the season after dislocating and fracturing his right ankle in Week 6 against the Buccaneers. Fellow defensive end Yetur Gross-Matos will miss at least three more games while on injured reserve due to a hamstring injury, but veteran Bryce Huff (hamstring) is expected to return from a two-game absence against the Rams in Week 10. In the absence of Bosa, Gross-Matos and now Williams, the 49ers will rely more heavily on the likes of Huff, Sam Okuayinonu, Clelin Ferrell and Keion White (who was traded by New England to San Francisco this past Tuesday) at defensive end. Barrows and Russini also note that the 49ers are looking to add to the position before Tuesday's 4 p.m. ET deadline and have shown interest in Jaelan Phillips (who the Eagles acquired from the Dolphins on Monday), Bradley Chubb and Matthew Judon. | |
| Ricky Pearsall | WR | Questionable | 2025-11-09 | Knee - PCL | Leg | Pearsall (knee) isn't practicing Wednesday, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports. | San Francisco head coach Kyle Shanahan said Monday that Pearsall would be evaluated mid-week, with the idea that he has some chance to return from a lengthy absence for Sunday's game against the Rams. It's unclear if Pearsall still has a shot to play after being held out of practice Wednesday. |

| Bucky Irving | RB | Questionable | 2025-11-09 | Foot | Leg | Irving (foot/shoulder) didn't practice Wednesday. | Irving thus will continue to sit out drills following the Buccaneers' Week 9 bye, meaning he may be on pace for his fifth consecutive absence due to foot and shoulder issues. He does have two more chances to practice this week, but Friday's injury report may reveal that another DNP is imminent Sunday against the Patriots. Rachaad White is on hand to lead Tampa Bay's backfield if Iriving requires more time to recover. | |
| Chris Godwin Jr. | WR | Questionable | 2025-11-09 | Lower Leg | Leg | Godwin (lower leg) is not expected to participate in Wednesday's practice, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports. | Godwin remains sidelined at practice despite Tampa Bay having had the benefit of a Week 9 bye. Head coach Todd Bowles said prior to the bye that Godwin is 'week-to-week,' though he confirmed that the veteran wideout's fibula injury has no danger of being season-ending. Still, Godwin may be trending in the wrong direction for Sunday's matchup against the Patriots, in which case wideouts Sterling Shepard, Tez Johnson, Ryan Miller and Kameron Johnson, plus tight end Cade Otton, will be in line to handle increased receiving work behind rookie standout Emeka Egbuka. | |

Once healthy, the 26-year-old should resume his role as the starting right tackle, and the team will have 21 days to officially activate him off injured reserve. | |

Since Austin Ekeler (Achilles) was lost for the season Week 2, Croskey-Merritt has paced the Commanders backfield to the tune of 88 touches for 404 yards from scrimmage and three rushing TDs over the last seven games. Ultimately, Friday's injury report will reveal whether or not Croskey-Merritt heads into the weekend with a designation for Sunday's contest against the Lions. | |
| Jayden Daniels | QB | Out | 2025-12-14 | Elbow | Arm | Head coach Dan Quinn confirmed that Daniels sustained a dislocated elbow in Sunday's 38-14 loss to the Seahawks, and the Commanders expect the quarterback to be "out for a while, for sure," John Keim of ESPN.com reports. | According to JP Finlay of NBC Sports Washington, Daniels avoided any fractures to his non-throwing arm when he sustained a gruesome-looking injury when he was sacked midway through the fourth quarter of the blowout loss. The Commanders are still in the process of collecting more information on Daniels' injury, and Quinn anticipates that the team will have a clearer timeline for the signal-caller's return by Wednesday or Thursday. At this stage, the Commanders aren't ready to rule Daniels out for the season, but he appears to be a strong bet to be moved to injured reserve, which would keep him sidelined for at least four games. Marcus Mariota came on in relief of Daniels against the Seahawks and is in line to make his fourth start of the season in this Sunday's game versus the Lions. | |

If that's the case, McCaffrey will wrap up his second NFL campaign with 11 catches for 203 yards and three touchdowns on 15 targets over nine games.
