Howard (knee) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Jets.

The new starting right tackle suffered a knee injury in the fourth quarter of Sunday's contest. With Howard absent, Dawand Jones may need to finish the game at right tackle for the Browns' offense.

Nubin (neck) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Commanders, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Nubin exited the fourth quarter of Sunday's game with a neck injury. It remains unclear how significant the injury is. Nubin also may not return to the contest simply because the game is almost over and a full evaluation may not be done in time.

Sadiq won't return to Sunday's game versus the Browns due to a concussion.

Prior to having a concussion check in Week 5, Sadiq had two catches (on three targets) for three yards and lost a fumble. Mason Taylor should serve as the Jets' primary tight end for the rest of Sunday's contest, though Jeremy Ruckert may be more involved in the passing game;.

Gordon (undisclosed) checked back into Sunday's game against the Bengals following a brief departure in the fourth quarter, Omar Kelly of the Miami Herald reports.

Gordon went into the medical tent on the Miami sideline to get checked for a potential injury but returned to the game just a few minutes later. The second-year running back looks like he'll be able to finish out Sunday's contest.

Bozeman (arm) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Dolphins.

Bozeman injured his arm in the fourth quarter of Sunday's contest and was promptly ruled out. Joe Giles-Harris is now the only reserve option at linebacker for the Bengals' defense.

Gordon (undisclosed) went to the medical tent during Sunday's game against the Bengals, Chris Perkins of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Prior to his exit in the fourth quarter, Gordon racked up 73 yards and one touchdown on his 17 carries. For as long as Gordon is sidelined, Jaylen Wright figures to handle the bulk of the backfield reps for the Dolphins.

Taylor (shoulder) is available for Sunday's game against Denver, Eric Smith of the team's official site reports.

Taylor logged consecutive limited practice sessions Wednesday and Thursday. After practicing in full Friday and being activated from injured reserve Saturday, he will be out there in Week 5 versus the Broncos.

Hood is being evaluated for a concussion and is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Commanders, Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News reports.

Hood exited the second half of Sunday's divisional contest with a head injury. If the cornerback is deemed to have suffered a concussion, his day will be over and he will be placed into the NFL's five-step concussion protocol.

St-Juste (hamstring) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Bears.

St-Juste suited up for Sunday's game while dealing with a hamstring issue. The cornerback likely aggravated the injury over the course of the game, meaning it is likely the Packers will rest the 29-year-old to avoid increasing the severity of the injury.

Pierce carried the ball 11 times for 14 yards and caught two of five targets for minus-2 yards in Sunday's 19-17 loss to the Jaguars.

With Saquon Barkley (hamstring) inactive and Tank Bigsby (abdomen) on IR, Pierce began the game as the No. 2 running back for the Eagles behind Will Shipley, and he moved into the top spot after Shipley exited the game just before halftime with a foot injury. The result was Pierce's highest touch volume since Week 18 of the 2024 season with the Texans, although his longest gain went for just six yards. The Eagles' offense is struggling overall behind a patchwork offensive line, but if Pierce finds himself as the top healthy RB option in Week 6 against the Panthers, he'll still have some deep-league fantasy appeal.
