Trader (shin) does not have an injury designation against the Bengals on Sunday, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.

Trader opened Week 5 prep with consecutive limited practices, but he avoided an injury tag after logging a full session Friday. The second-year safety has 19 tackles (nine solo) and two pass defenses (one interception) through the first four games of the regular season.

Humphrey (calf/hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Falcons, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

Humphrey was a limited participant in Friday's practice after logging DNPs in consecutive sessions to start Week 5 prep. The outside cornerback continues to deal with multiple injuries he sustained in the Ravens' Week 4 win over the Titans, and it is unclear if he will be able to overcome the issues in time for Sunday's contest.

Hendrickson (finger) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Falcons, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

Hendrickson has not practiced since undergoing surgery for his finger injury during Week 4. The outside linebacker and primary pass rusher for the Ravens' defense will miss consecutive weeks as he continues to recover from the procedure, leaving Mike Green as the primary pass rusher opposite Tavius Robinson.

Jones (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Philadelphia, Ryan O'Halloran of The Florida Times-Union reports.

Jones signed a contract with the Jaguars on Tuesday and was a limited practice participant in each of the next three days while tending to a lingering hamstring injury. He's not quite ready to make his team debut, but his next chance to do so is Week 6 against the Texans on Sunday, Oct. 18.

McLaurin (hamstring), who is officially questionable for Sunday's game against the Giants, will be a game-time decision, as Jeremy Fowler of ESPN highlighted Friday in a Week 5 injury update on SportsCenter.

McLaurin returned to a limited practice Friday, and he was given a tag of questionable heading into the weekend. The star wideout didn't play last Sunday against Indianapolis in London, but Fowler relays that the Commanders "are hoping to have" him available in Week 5. Stefon Diggs (hamstring) has already been ruled for Sunday, so getting McLaurin back on the field would be a big boost to Washington's passing game, which is slated to be led by Jayden Daniels for the first time since Week 2.

Murray (concussion) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Eagles, Ryan O'Halloran of The Florida Times-Union reports.

Murray entered the league's concussion protocol during the Jaguars' Week 4 loss to the Bengals. He progressed enough in the protocol to end Week 5 prep with back-to-back limited practices, but it seems he won't be cleared in time for Sunday's interconference game. Assuming Murray is ruled out, rookie sixth-rounder Rayuan Lane would likely start next to Antonio Johnson at safety.

Brown (hamstring) doesn't have an injury designation against the Eagles on Sunday, Ryan O'Halloran of The Florida Times-Union reports.

A hamstring injury prevented Brown from playing against the Bengals in Week 4, but he's been cleared to return for Sunday's interconference showdown after stringing together a trio of limited practices during Week 5 prep. He'll return to a starting role opposite Travis Hunter while Jarrian Jones provides depth at outside cornerback.

Mallory (thumb) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Steelers.

Mallory was designated to return to practice Wednesday. The tight end remains on injured reserve with a thumb injury but was able to log full practice sessions throughout Week 5 prep. The 27-year-old likely has not yet adjusted to NFL physicality enough for the Colts to allow him to suit up for Sunday's contest.

Stewart (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Tennessee.

Stewart was a full practice participant all week, and there's a chance that he is cleared to make his 2026 regular-season debut in Sunday's AFC South tilt. The veteran safety opened the regular season on the reserve/PUP list due to a quad injury, which has recently been reclassified as a knee issue. Stewart's return would bolster the Texans' depth at safety behind starters Reed Blankenship and Calen Bullock.

Otton caught three of four targets for 25 yards in a 24-16 win over Dallas on Thursday.

Otton was active early, catching two passes on the Buccaneers' first drive. However, he logged only two more targets and one more reception -- an 11-yarder that helped set up a field goal in the third quarter -- the rest of the way. The 25 total yards were a low mark so far this season for the veteran tight end, who has caught between three and five passes in all five of Tampa Bay's games so far. That at least gives him a reliable floor, but Otton doesn't have a very high week-to-week fantasy ceiling.
