The following players on the injury report have been ruled active for the Jaguars on Sunday against Tennessee: Ryan Davis (shoulder), Dwayne Gratz (head), Clay Harbor (back), Allen Hurns (foot), Storm Johnson (ankle), Marqise Lee (hamstring), Roy Miller (ankle), Paul Posluszny (knee), Cecil Shorts (hamstring) and Dekoda Watson (shoulder).

The following players on the injury report were officially ruled active for the Dolphins Week 6 against the Packers: Brandon Gibson, Daniel Thomas, Deandre Coleman, Shelley Smith, Jason Fox, Billy Turner and Gator Hoskins.

The Vikings will have both Matt Asiata and Jerick McKinnon available Week 6 against the Lions.

Both players entered the week listed as probable, so the moves aren't a surprise. Asiata was listed with a groin issue, while McKinnon is battling an ankle injury. 

An injury to featured back Montee Ball has clouded the running back situation for the Broncos. It might not get cleared up Sunday against the host Jets, but a hot hand at that position could allow one back to emerge moving forward, per the team website.

Among the possibilities is Juwan Thompson, who has been declared probable despite a knee issue. He earned his first three carries of the season in Week 5. Thompson is expected to get extended reps, but so are Ronnie Hillman and C.J. Anderson, who suggested Thursday that the one who proves to be the best of the bunch early will likely receive the most carries.

The Broncos have listed seven players as probable Week 6 against the Jets.

David Bruton, Andre Caldwell, Chris Harris, Lerentee McCray, Brandon McManus, Michael Schofield and Juwan Thompson should all be able to play Sunday. All seven were able to take part in full practice Friday. 

Cardinals running back Andre Ellington and cornerback Patrick Peterson are probable Week 6 against Washington.

Ellington has been dealing with a foot issue all season, and was limited in practice all week. Peterson injured his ankle, but was able to get in full practice Thursday and Friday. 

Corner Justin Bethel and linebacker Kenny Demens have also been ruled probable. 

Jets running back Chris Johnson is probable entering Week 6.

Johnson is dealing with an ankle injury. Despite the issue, Johnson was able to fully participate in every practice this week. 

Seven Jets are listed as probable on the team's injury report for Week 6.

Willie Colon, Jeff Cumberland, Breno Giacomini, Damon Harrison, Chris Johnson, Nick Mangold and Dee Milliner should all be able to play Sunday. All seven players were able to put in full practice Friday. 

Only three injured Vikings are possibilities to be inactive for the Sunday game against Detroit. Included is tight end Kyle Rudolph, who has already been ruled out with an abdomen issue.

The others are linebacker Chad Greenway, who is doubtful with a hand injury, and safety Harrison Smith (ankle), who is questionable.

There are several big games among the probables, which include running backs Jerick McKinnon (ankle) and Matt Asiata (groin), quarterback Teddy Bridgewater (ankle), linebacker Michael Mauti (foot), defensive tackle Sharrif Floyd (elbow) and wideout Cordarrelle Patterson (hip).

The Chargers listed 16 players on their final injury report leading up to Week 6 at Oakland. Running backs Donald Brown (concussion) and Ryan Mathews (knee), along with linebacker Manti Te'o (foot) and cornerback Shareece Wright (knee) were ruled out for Sunday.

Deemed questionable were the following players: wide receiver Malcom Floyd (calf), tackle D.J. Fluker (ankle), outside linebackers Jarret Johnson (back, ankle) and Cordarro Law (ankle), offensive lineman Rich Ohrnberger (back), safety Darrell Stuckey (quad) and linebacker Reggie Walker (ankle).

Wide receiver Keenan Allen (quad), outside linebacker Jeremiah Attaochu (hamstring) and Dwight Freeney (knee), inside linebacker Donald Butler (shoulder) and tight end David Johnson (knee, shoulder) were the only players ruled probable for the game.
