Thornton is inactive for Sunday's game against the Jaguars.

With Thornton the odd man out in Week 9, Jakobi Meyers, Tre Tucker, Jack Bech, Tyler Lockett and Alex Bachman will handle the Raiders WR duties versus Jacksonville. Through seven games to date, Thornton has caught five of his 19 targets for 94 yards.

Lloyd (calf) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Raiders.

Adam Schefter of ESPN reported that Lloyd wasn't expected to play versus Las Vegas, and the fourth-year linebacker will indeed miss a second consecutive game due to a calf injury. Ventrell Miller will see an increased workload on defense in Lloyd's absence.

Muasau (ankle) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the 49ers, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Muasau was injured in the first half and was ruled out just after halftime. He'll finish Week 9 with four tackles (two solo). Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles has stepped into Muasau's role at linebacker.

Shaheed (hip) is listed as active Sunday at the Rams.

Shaheed operated with a cap on his reps during Week 9 prep due to a hip injury that left him questionable ahead of Sunday's contest. Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported Saturday evening that Shaheed was expected to suit up this weekend, something that now has been confirmed. Shaheed is coming off a season-high 12 targets Week 8 and will be on the receiving end of passes from rookie second-round pick Tyler Shough instead of Spencer Rattler moving forward.

Kamara (ankle) is active for Sunday's game at the Rams.

Kamara has been playing through an ankle injury the last two contests and was listed as questionable for Week 9 after logging three limited practices. Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported late Saturday that Kamara was in line to suit up Sunday, and the Saints have confirmed as much upon posting their inactive list. Kamara has mustered 74 yards from scrimmage and no TDs on 22 touches during the aforementioned two-game stretch and now will be working with new starting signal-caller Tyler Shough instead of Spencer Rattler moving forward.

Wooden (shoulder) has been downgraded to out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Panthers.

The defensive tackle suffered the injury in the first half and had to be evaluated in the medical tent. Wooden did not get on the stat sheet before exiting. Devonte Wyatt and Karl Brooks could see more time in his absence.

Ingram (knee) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Broncos.

Ingram went to the locker room in the second quarter of Sunday's game, where he'll have his knee injury evaluated to determine whether he can return. Juice Scruggs has shifted over to right guard with Laken Tomlinson now in at left guard in Ingram's absence.

Howard is under evaluation for a possible concussion during Sunday's contest with the Broncos.

Howard has been the starting right tackle for the Texans this year. If he is unable to return, the offense will likely give Blake Fisher the nod to finish Sunday's game.

Kmet is under evaluation for a possible concussion during Sunday's contest at Cincinnati.

Kmet visited the medical tent in the second quarter and then walked to the locker room before the Bears made this announcement. At the time of his departure, he'd hauled in one of two targets for 10 yards and also was 0-for-1 passing. Rookie first-rounder Colston Loveland is poised for more work for as long as Kmet is sidelined.

Alt is questionable to return to Sunday's Week 9 contest versus Tennessee due to an ankle injury.

Alt had his lower right leg rolled up on by a defender on a Chargers passing play in the second quarter. He had to be carted off the field, which is generally not a good sign for an in-game return to action, though Alt has been initially deemed questionable. If he needs to miss any time, the loss of one of the league's best offensive tackles would certainly be a big blow to Los Angeles. For now, Jamaree Salyer has entered the game at left tackle.
