Epps (undisclosed) was placed on injured reserve Saturday.

Epps has appeared in all eight of Philadelphia's games this season, so it's unclear how or when he picked up this injury. He won't be able to return until at least Week 14.

Ojulari (hamstring) was placed on injured reserve Saturday.

Ojulari was a healthy scratch to begin the season and then suffered a hamstring injury in Week 7. He missed Week 8 with the issue and will now be sidelined until at least Week 14.

Smith (knee) does not carry an injury designation into Monday's game against the Cardinals, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.

Smith logged a full practice Friday and is good to go for Monday's contest. The offensive lineman has been playing through a knee injury for multiple weeks and is finally free of the designation, signaling he is close to 100 percent for game day.

Bartch (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Giants.

Bartch has been on injured reserve since Week 3 and returned to practice Wednesday. He logged limited sessions throughout the week but will have to wait until at least Week 10 for a potential return.

Burford (knee) was activated from injured reserve Saturday.

Burford has been sidelined since Week 3 but has been practicing for the last two weeks. He practiced in full all week leading up to Sunday's matchup against the Giants, suggesting he should be in line to return. However, Burford officially remains questionable and his status will not be clear until shortly before kickoff.

Winfrey (back) has been ruled out ahead of Monday's game against the Cowboys, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.

Winfrey has yet to play this season after sustaining a back injury in late August. The 2022 fourth-round pick's 21-day practice window was opened Wednesday, and he will stay on the injured reserve through Monday's contest. Winfrey's next chance to return to the field will come during Week 11, when the Cowboys challenge the Raiders on Monday Night Football.

Green (hamstring) was placed on the reserved/injured list Saturday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Green suffered the injury in Week 8 against the Eagles and had already been ruled out for Sunday's matchup against the 49ers. He'll miss a minimum of four games total, with his first chance to return coming in Week 13 against New England.

Clark (ribs) has been ruled out ahead of Monday's game against the Cardinals, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.

Clark did not log a practice this week due to the rib injury he suffered in last Sunday's 44-24 loss against the Broncos. The Cowboys' safety carousel will continue this week, with a number of other defensive backs potentially filling the role. Markquese Bell, C.J. Goodwin, Trikweze Bridges or Kaiir Elam all have a shot to be the third starting strong safety in as many weeks for the Cowboys defense.

Payton (lower body) was activated from injured reserve Saturday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Payton landed on injured reserve with a lower-body injury in late August and could be in line to make his season debut. He would likely contribute primarily on special teams, though the Giants will be without both Cor'Dale Flott (concussion) and Paulson Adebo (knee). Payton officially remains questionable for Sunday's game against the 49ers, so his status will not become clear until shortly before kickoff.

Palczewski (illness) was added to the injury report Saturday and is questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Texans, Nick Kosmider of The Athletic reports.

Palczewski has missed three straight games due to an ankle injury, but he moved beyond that issue in preparation for Sunday's game. Per Parker Gabriel of The Denver Post, Calvin Throckmorton or Alex Forsyth will be options at left guard if Palczewski is unable to play.
