Downs (head) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

Downs is also being evaluated for a concussion and will not return to Sunday's contest. Markquese Bell, Alijah Clark and Cobie Durant are all in line for more defensive snaps in Downs' absence.

Campbell (undisclosed) was carted off the field during the third quarter of Sunday's game against the Vikings, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.

Sunday's game was delayed for several minutes while Campbell was carted off the field on a backboard after a heavy collision. He's unlikely to return to Sunday's contest, so Jimmy Rolder and Amen Ogbongbemiga are in line for more defensive snaps the rest of the way.

Williams (knee) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Cowboys, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

With Williams done for the day, Josh Fryar has taken over at left tackle. The Cardinals should have an update on Williams after Sunday's game once the rookie seventh-rounder undergoes more tests.

Saylors (neck) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Vikings, Nolan Bianchi of The Detroit News reports.

Saylors sustained a neck injury in the first half, and the issue is severe enough for him to be sidelined for the rest of Sunday's game. Sione Vaki will be the lone backup option to Jahmyr Gibbs the rest of the way in Saylors' absence.

Walker (ribs) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Colts.

Walker appeared to sustain the injury in the third quarter. Given the Jaguars' large lead, it wouldn't be surprising if the team elected to keep the 2022 first-rounder sidelined the rest of the way. Bryan Thomas and Danny Striggow are both in line for more defensive snaps in Walker's absence.

Harris (ankle) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Bengals.

The injury was severe enough for Harris to be carted off the field and into the locker room. Alontae Taylor will see more work in the secondary in Harris' absence.

Jackson (quadriceps) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Lions.

Jackson sustained a quadriceps injury right before halftime, and medical staff have determined that he cannot return to Sunday's game. Harrison Smith should see more work on early downs in Jackson's stead.

Collins (elbow) has returned to Sunday's game against the Steelers, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

Collins left in the second quarter due to an elbow injury. He was evaluated by medical staff, who cleared the veteran defensive lineman to return to Sunday's contest.

Branch (concussion) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Vikings.

Branch and D.J. Wonnum collided with each other in the second quarter, and both players have been diagnosed with concussions. Keith Abney should see more defensive snaps in Branch's absence.

Wonnum (concussion) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Vikings.

Wonnum and Brian Branch collided with each other in the second quarter, and both players are now in the league's concussion protocol. Derrick Moore, Trevor Nowaske and Eric O'Neill are in line for more defensive snaps in Wonnum's absence.
