  • Sione Vaki RB | DET

    Lions' Sione Vaki: Cleared to play vs. Minnesota

    Vaki (hamstring) is active for Sunday's game against the Vikings.

    A hamstring injury limited Vaki's practice participation all week, but he has been cleared to play in Sunday's NFC North tilt. He'll serve as the Lions' RB3 behind Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery due to Craig Reynolds (hamstring) being inactive.

  • Dylan Horton DE | HOU

    Texans' Dylan Horton: Won't play against Denver

    Horton (knee) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Broncos.

    Horton suffered a knee injury during the Week 8 win over the 49ers and, despite logging a full practice Friday, will be inactive for Sunday's contest. His absence will allow Darrell Taylor and Denico Autry a chance at more rotational snaps with the Texans' defensive line.

  • Tommy DeVito QB | NE

    Patriots' Tommy DeVito: Emergency No. 3 QB for Week 9

    DeVito (coach's decision) is inactive but will serve as the Patriots' emergency third quarterback against the Falcons on Sunday.

    As the emergency third quarterback, DeVito is restricted from playing Sunday unless both Drake Maye and Joshua Dobbs are removed from the game due to injury, illness or ejection.

  • Packers' Lucas Havrisik: Inactive again in Week 9

    Havrisik (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Panthers, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.

    The Packers listed Brandon McManus as questionable for a second week in a row, but he again will be able to play through his lingering right quad injury. Havrisik thus will don street clothes Sunday, and his time on Green Bay's roster could be coming to a close whenever McManus is able to ditch the injury entirely.

  • Dameon Pierce RB | HOU

    Texans' Dameon Pierce: Inactive Sunday

    Pierce (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Broncos.

    The running back is now a healthy scratch for the fifth time in eight games this season. Nick Chubb and Woody Marks continue to hold down Houston's backfield. Pierce has played on just 23 offensive snaps this year, carrying the ball 10 times for 26 yards and no scores.

  • Packers' Brandon McManus: Suiting up Sunday

    McManus (right quadriceps) is listed as active Sunday against the Panthers, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.

    McManus managed a pair of full practices during Week 9 prep for the first time since he tweaked his right quad coming out of the Packers' Week 5 bye, but the team still listed him as questionable for Sunday's contest. Now that his status has been confirmed, he'll look to build upon the nine field goals (on 13 attempts) and 14 extra points (on 15 tries) that he's netted in five appearances this season, while Lucas Havrisik (coach's decision) again will be inactive.

  • Bryce Oliver WR | TEN

    Titans' Bryce Oliver: Inactive for Week 9

    Oliver (knee) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Chargers, Ben Arthur of FoxSports.com reports.

    Oliver is set to miss a second consecutive game due to a knee injury he sustained in Week 2 against the Rams. The Titans are on a bye Week 10, so he'll have extra time to recover and return for Week 11 against the Texans on Sunday, Nov. 16.

  • Giants' Daniel Bellinger: Inactive in Week 9

    Bellinger (neck) is listed as inactive Sunday versus the 49ers, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

    Bellinger injured his neck last Sunday at Philadelphia, and he then didn't practice all week before the Giants listed him as doubtful to suit up Week 9. Now that Bellinger officially isn't playing, Theo Johnson should dominate TE reps for New York, but Chris Manhertz and Thomas Fidone also will be available for snaps and the occasional target. Bellinger's next chance for game action is next Sunday's contest in Chicago.

  • Andy Dalton QB | CAR

    Panthers' Andy Dalton: Active, backing up Young on Sunday

    Dalton (thumb) is listed as active Sunday at Green Bay, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

    Dalton earned a spot start in place of Bryce Young (ankle) last Sunday against the Bills in which he completed 16 of 24 passes for 175 yards, no touchdowns and one interception in a 40-9 loss. After Dalton missed Wednesday's practice due to injury, the nature of the issue was revealed to be a broken right thumb, which limited him Thursday and Friday and left him questionable for Week 9 action. With Bryce Young back in the No. 1 job Sunday, Dalton will return to his normal backup gig, while fellow signal-caller Mike White (coach's decision) is inactive.

  • Will Dissly TE | LAC

    Chargers' Will Dissly: Won't play against Tennessee

    Dissly (illness) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Titans, Eric Smith of the Chargers' official site reports.

    Dissly ended Week 9 prep with back-to-back limited practices while working through an illness. He has not been cleared to play Sunday, so the Chargers will have three tight ends on the active roster in Oronde Gadsden, Tucker Fisk and Tyler Conklin. Dissly's next opportunity to play is Week 10 against the Steelers on Sunday, Nov. 9.
