Kennedy (knee) is questionable to return to Sunday's contest against the Cardinals.

Kennedy suffered a knee injury on a punt return early in the second quarter, and almost every Lion was down on one knee as the medical staff tended to him, per Richard Silva of The Detroit News. The wide receiver seems unlikely to be available for the rest of the contest, and in his absence, Amon-Ra St. Brown has taken over as Detroit's primary punt returner.

Judkins was wearing a walking boot on his right foot after Sunday's 17-12 loss at the Jets, Chris Easterling of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

It's unclear when Judkins may have suffered the injury, but he paced the Browns backfield in Week 5 with 14 carries for 44 yards while adding three catches (on four targets) for six yards. With reserve RB Raheim Sanders also exiting Sunday's game due to a hip issue, Jaleel McLaughlin emerges as the team's only healthy RB on the active roster.

White (forearm) is questionable to return to Sunday's contest versus Arizona.

White was carted off the field following a forearm injury early in the first half, and his availability for the rest of the game is now uncertain. In his absence, Malcolm Rodriguez is a top candidate to operate in a more prominent role at outside linebacker.

Chase brought in six of 10 targets for 77 yards and a touchdown in the Bengals' 31-24 win over the Dolphins on Sunday.

Chase was ultimately able to clear concussion protocol just before Sunday's game after exiting the Week 4 loss to the Jaguars with the head injury, and he finished as the Bengals' leader in all of receptions, receiving yards and targets against Miami. The star receiver capped off his productive day with a stellar one-handed, contested 45-yard touchdown grab in the waning moments of the third quarter. Chase is up to a 27-289-4 receiving line on the season despite having missed more than a half against Jacksonville, and he'll next tangle with the division-rival Ravens' veteran secondary in a Week 7 road matchup on Sunday, Oct. 25 following a Week 6 bye.

Head coach Ben Johnson wouldn't commit to a return date for Williams (hamstring) after Sunday's loss at Green Bay, Chris Emma of 670TheScore.com reports. "He's on track. We'll see if that's Atlanta or after," Johnson said. "I think it's going to be close."

Prior to Williams being deemed inactive for a third straight game due to a Grade 2 right hamstring strain, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported that the quarterback is "pushing to play" next weekend against the Falcons, and the fact he was able to complete a pregame workout backed up that sentiment. Johnson's comments afterward keeps the situation in some limbo for the time being, but the combined play of Tyson Bagent and Case Keenum on Sunday could spur the Bears to turn back to Williams after a second defeat in the last four contests.

Love completed 25 of 31 passes for 367 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions while adding one carry for six yards in the Packers' 31-7 win over the Bears on Sunday. He also fumbled once but recovered.

Love was in prime form all afternoon against the Packers' long-time arch-rival, finishing with the third-highest single-game passing yardage total of his career while facilitating 100-yard efforts for both Christian Watson and Matthew Golden. The veteran signal-caller connected with the former for both of his touchdown passes, which came from 42 and 53 yards out in the first and third quarters, respectively. Love already has a trio of 300-yard games on the season and a 10:3 TD:INT heading into a Week 6 home matchup against the Cowboys next Sunday night.

Allen rushed 24 times for 116 yards and a touchdown while catching one of four targets for no gain in Sunday's 17-12 win over the Browns.

Allen ran in the go-ahead 22-yard touchdown with 3:01 remaining, and the Jets' defense held twice after that to secure the team's second win of the season. The 2024 fourth-round pick handled lead-back duties for the second consecutive game in the absence of Breece Hall (quadriceps), notching 25 touches to Isaiah Davis' three. After reaching 100 rushing yards in a game for the first time in his career, Allen would be in line for another substantial workload in Week 6 against the Patriots if Hall remains sidelined.

Golden secured six of seven targets for 123 yards in the Packers' 31-7 win over the Bears on Sunday. He also returned two punts for 27 yards.

As good as Golden's afternoon was, he was actually slightly outshined by fellow wideout Christian Watson, who had 20 more receiving yards on the same number of catches and one additional target. Nevertheless, Golden's afternoon included a new career high in receiving yards, as well as a career-high-tying reception total. The second-year speedster is already well on his way to a breakout campaign, and Golden now has at least seven targets in four of his first five games of the campaign. The 2025 first-round pick will take a 24-397-2 line on 44 targets into a favorable Week 6 home matchup against the Packers next Sunday night.

Wilson caught seven of 11 targets for 104 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 17-12 win over the Browns.

Wilson opened the scoring with a 32-yard touchdown catch in the first quarter. That was his third touchdown grab through five games, and Wilson has exceeded 100 receiving yards twice while working as the top receiver for the Jets. No teammate topped 26 receiving yards as wide receivers Adonai Mitchell (finger) and Omar Cooper (ankle), as well as running back Breece Hall (quadriceps) were inactive, while tight end Kenyon Sadiq (concussion) exited in the second half. Up next for Wilson and the 2-3 Jets is a trip to New England to face the Patriots in Week 6.

Conception has entered the NFL's concussion protocol, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reported Sunday.

Conception sustained a concussion in the Browns' 17-12 loss to the Jets on Sunday. The wide receiver must now clear the NFL's five-step concussion protocol to return to full contact. Conception caught his sole target for five yards before exiting Sunday's win early.
