Van Lanen (knee) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Browns, Mia O'Brien of 1010 XL 92.5 FM Jacksonville reports.

Van Lanen was limited in practice all week but has been cleared to face Cleveland. He was limited throughout training camp but appears ready to go as the Jaguars' starting right tackle.

Brinson (calf) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Vikings, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

Brinson sustained a calf injury during pregame warmups for the Packers' Aug. 24 preseason game against the Broncos. The reserve defensive tackle has remained sidelined due to the injury, and it is unclear when he will be able to return to full participation.

Harrison (hamstring) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Raiders, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

After back-to-back limited practices Wednesday and Thursday, Harrison was a full participant Friday and is cleared to play Week 1. The 29-year-old signed a one-year deal with the Dolphins in the offseason after logging 29 tackles, including 2.0 sacks, across 10 regular-season appearances with Atlanta in 2025.

Thomas (ankle) does not carry an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game versus the Packers, Craig Peters of the Vikings' official site reports.

Thomas was limited at practice by an ankle injury Wednesday and Thursday, but he was a full participant Friday and will be available in Week 1. It's hard to imagine the rookie seeing very many defensive snaps Sunday, if any.

Jenkins (back) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Jaguars.

With Jenkins out for the Week 1 opener, third-round rookie Austin Barber is expected to make the start at left guard for Cleveland. Jenkins appeared in all 17 regular-season games last season, making four starts.

The Browns cut Sapp (undisclosed) from the practice squad injured list with an injury settlement Friday, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.

The nature and severity of Sapp's injury is not clear, but the settlement allows him to sign and play with a team once fully healthy. Sapp signed with the Browns' practice squad in late August after failing to crack the 53-man roster at the conclusion of training camp.

Williams (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Steelers, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

Williams did not practice this week due to an ankle injury. It is unclear how long the reserve offensive lineman will miss due to the injury, but his absence should not impact the Falcons' starting offense much, barring injuries.

Bennett completed two of three passes for 13 yards and rushed once for nine yards in the Rams' 27-7 Week 1 loss to the 49ers.

Bennett came into the game for the Rams' last offensive possession once the game was officially out of reach. The quarterback was effective but couldn't produce any points, as he ran out of time after 10 total plays.

The Eagles placed Gray (undisclosed) on the practice squad injured list Friday.

It's unclear what type of injury Gray is working through, nor when he picked it up, but his placement on the injured list means he is not eligible to be called up to the active roster for at least four games. The Eagles signed Xavier Gipson to the practice squad in a corresponding move.

Cowing returned two punts for 17 yards in the 49ers' 27-7 win over the Rams in Week 1.

Cowing also saw five snaps on offense but wasn't' targeted by Brock Purdy. With De'Zhaun Stribling (ankle) injured against the Rams and Ricky Pearsall (knee) out for the season, Cowing is looking like the Niners' current WR4 behind Mike Evans, Deebo Samuel and Demarcus Robinson.
