  • Troy Dye LB | LAC

    Chargers' Troy Dye: Questionable to play Week 7

    Dye (thumb) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Colts, Eric Smith of the Chargers' official site reports.

    Despite not practicing all week due to a thumb injury, Dye still has a chance at suiting up for Sunday's home contest. If Dye ends up being ruled out, Marlowe Wax and Del'Shawn Phillips -- both of whom have been primarily used on special teams -- would be candidates to see more snaps at inside linebacker alongside Daiyan Henley.

  • Brock Bowers TE | LV

    Raiders' Brock Bowers: Doubtful after limited practice

    Bowers (knee) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET game against the Chiefs after logging a limited practice Friday.

    Following consecutive DNPs Wednesday and Thursday, Bowers' return to a limited session Friday provides a glimmer of hope that he could suit up Sunday, though his official doubtful designation suggests that the Raiders may be more likely to err on the side of caution with their star tight end this weekend with the team on bye Week 8. If Bowers ends up sidelined for the third straight game, fellow TE Michael Mayer -- who logged five catches (on seven targets) for 50 yards and a TD in the Raiders' Week 6 win over the Titans -- once again would be in line for added opportunities versus Kansas City.

  • Derius Davis WR | LAC

    Chargers' Derius Davis: Could play vs. Indianapolis

    Davis (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Colts, Eric Smith of the Chargers' official site reports.

    Davis has been sidelined for the Chargers' last three games due to a knee injury. He was limited in practice all week, and his status for Week 7 may not be known until the Chargers announce their list of inactive players approximately 90 minutes before Sunday's 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff. The 2023 fourth-rounder was primarily deployed on special teams as a returner prior to his injury, and those duties would likely be handled by rookie fifth-rounder KeAndre Lambert-Smith and practice squad running back Nyheim Hines if Davis is not cleared to return.

  • Elijah Molden CB | LAC

    Chargers' Elijah Molden: Unlikely to play vs. Indianapolis

    Molden (thumb) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Colts.

    Molden was unable to practice all week due to a thumb injury that he picked up during the Chargers' Week 6 win over the Dolphins. With the 2021 third-rounder not expected to play, Tony Jefferson and rookie sixth-rounder RJ Mickens are the top candidates to start at safety alongside Derwin James on Sunday.

  • Dre Greenlaw LB | DEN

    Broncos' Dre Greenlaw: Expected to return from IR

    Greenlaw (quadriceps) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Giants.

    Greenlaw ended the week on a high note with a full practice Friday after being limited in the first two sessions of the week. The Broncos released quarterback Sam Ehlinger on Friday to open a spot on the 53-man roster, and Chris Tomasson of The Denver Gazette relays that the open spot is meant for Greenlaw, indicating that the veteran linebacker will be activated from IR ahead of Sunday's game. Alex Singleton has played every single defensive snap through the Broncos' first six games of the regular season, so Greenlaw's return likely will result in less playing time at inside linebacker for Justin Strnad.

  • Broncos' Jonathon Cooper: Good to go vs. NYG

    Cooper (quadriceps) does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Giants.

    Cooper was limited in the first two practices of the week due to a quadriceps injury, but he managed to fade an injury designation for Sunday's game after practicing in full Friday. The 2021 seventh-rounder has logged 4.5 sacks through the first six games of the regular season, which is tied for eighth most in the NFL.

  • Blake Corum RB | LAR

    Rams' Blake Corum: Set to suit up in Week 7

    Corum (ankle) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game versus the Jaguars in London, Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site reports.

    Corum progressed from no activity Wednesday to a limited session Thursday and eventually all on-field work Friday, and his lack of Week 7 designation implies his ankle injury isn't much of a concern. Working as L.A.'s No. 2 RB behind Kyren Williams this season, Corum's snap share has ranged from nine to 30 percent on a weekly basis, resulting in 5.3 touches for 27.5 yards from scrimmage per game to go with one rushing TD in six contests.

  • Josh Simmons OT | KC

    Chiefs' Josh Simmons: Won't play vs. Vegas

    Simmons (personal) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Raiders.

    Simmons was excused from practice all week while attending to a family/personal matter and will miss a second straight game as a result, per Matt Derrick of ChiefsDigest.com. In Simmons' absence, Jaylon Moore will start at left tackle for a second straight game. Simmons' next opportunity to play is Week 8 against the Commanders on Monday, Oct. 27.

  • Mac Jones QB | SF

    49ers' Mac Jones: Another spot start on tap

    Coach Kyle Shanahan said Friday that Jones (knee/oblique) will start Sunday's game against the Falcons with Brock Purdy (toe) ruled out, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

    Purdy got back on the practice field this week as a limited participant, but his lingering turf toe injury will sideline him for a fifth time in the last six contests. The announcement lines Jones up for his fifth start of the campaign, after completing 113 of 168 passes (67.3 percent) for 1,252 yards, six touchdowns and three interceptions in his first four nods. He'll have a tough task on his hands Sunday, though, as Atlanta's pass defense is the stingiest in the NFL to date (139.4 yards allowed per game).

  • 49ers' George Kittle: On track for activation

    San Francisco coach Kyle Shanahan confirmed Friday that the team plans to activate Kittle (hamstring) from injured reserve ahead of Sunday's game against Atlanta, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

    Kittle told reporters Thursday that he's back at full strength and ready to play. Shanahan all but confirmed it, although the 49ers could still list the tight end as questionable on their final Week 7 injury report. Either way, the team needs to activate Kittle from IR before 4:00 p.m. ET on Saturday if he's going to play Sunday. Kittle won't be on a so-called pitch count, but Shanahan did say the 49ers could "space it out throughout the game" in response to questions about the tight end's workload.
