Jaylin Lane WR | WAS
Commanders' Jaylin Lane: Target boost likely Sunday
Lane should see a boost in targets in Sunday's Week 7 clash against the Cowboys due to the inactive status of Terry McLaurin (quadriceps) and Deebo Samuel (heel), as well as the absence of Noah Brown (IR, groin/knee).
The rookie fourth-round pick has been modestly involved in the early stages of his NFL career, logging 15 targets over his first six contests. However, with the Commanders' wide-receiver corps especially thin Sunday and Washington set to have to remain aggressive with a potent Dallas offense on the other side, Lane, along with Luke McCaffrey and Chris Moore, appears set to serve as one of Jayden Daniels' top targets when dropping back.

Jay Tufele DT | NYJ
Jets' Jay Tufele: Leaves game with knee injury
Tufele (knee) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Panthers.
Tufele sustained a knee injury early in the third quarter, and he'll be evaluated by medical staff to determine whether he can return. Jowon Briggs will be the Jets' lone rotational option at defensive tackle if Tufele is unable to return.

Trey Smith G | KC
Chiefs' Trey Smith: Done for day
Smith (back) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's matchup with the Raiders.
Smith suffered a back injury in the first half of the contest, and he will now be forced to miss the rest of the game. Mike Caliendo has taken over at right guard in Smith's absence.
-
Darren Waller TE | MIA
Dolphins' Darren Waller: Won't return Sunday
Waller (pectoral) won't return to Sunday's game against the Browns.
Prior to his exit, Waller didn't record a catch. In his absence, Julian Hill and Tanner Conner will handle Miami's TE duties versus Cleveland. Waller's next chance to see game action will be next Sunday against the Falcons.

Victor Dimukeje LB | NYG
Giants' Victor Dimukeje: Good to go Week 7
Dimukeje (pectoral) is active for Sunday's game against the Broncos, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
The Giants activated Dimukeje from injured reserve Saturday, and the fourth-year linebacker has been cleared to make his 2025 regular-season debut Sunday. He'll likely see most of his snaps on special teams but could see some rotational snaps at outside linebacker due to Chauncey Golston (neck) being inactive.
-
Adoree' Jackson CB | PHI
Eagles' Adoree' Jackson: Done for day
Jackson (concussion) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's contest against the Vikings.
Jackson and Vikings tight end T.J. Hockenson collided in the third quarter, ultimately resulting in a concussion for Jackson. In his absence, Kelee Ringo will stand to see an increase in workload at cornerback versus Minnesota.
-
Zay Jones WR | ARI
Cardinals' Zay Jones: Available in Week 7
Jones (knee) is active for Sunday's game versus the Packers, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Despite just one appearance in practice this week -- he was limited Friday -- Jones will play through a knee injury but remain the Cardinals' No. 3 WR, at best, behind Marvin Harrison and Michael Wilson. In five appearances this season, Jones has put together a 10-116-0 line on 15 targets.
-
Joe Alt OT | LAC
Chargers' Joe Alt: Ruled out against Indianapolis
Alt (ankle) won't play in Sunday's game against the Colts.
Alt will miss his third straight game this week, as he is still recovering from an ankle injury he suffered in Week 4. The 2024 first-round pick did return to practice in a limited capacity on Thursday, which is a good sign for his status next week.
-
Chris Moore WR | WAS
Commanders' Chris Moore: Opportunity awaits in Week 7
Moore should see a boost in targets in Sunday's Week 7 clash against the Cowboys due to the inactive status of Terry McLaurin (quadriceps) and Deebo Samuel (heel), as well as the absence of Noah Brown (IR, groin/knee).
The Commanders' receiving corps has suffered some serious attrition in recent weeks, and Moore is one of the last men standing for the time being. The veteran flashed with a 3-46-1 line on five targets in the Week 6 loss to the Bears, and he'll profile as one of Jayden Daniels' top targets alongside Luke McCaffrey and Jaylin Lane in Sunday's divisional showdown.
