Brinson has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Steelers due to a hamstring injury, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.

Brinson popped up on Friday's practice report as a limited participant due to a hamstring injury and was tagged as questionable for Week 8. The rookie sixth-rounder has not been cleared to play Sunday, which leaves Nazir Stackhouse and Karl Brooks as the Packers' two rotational defensive tackles behind starters Colby Wooden and Devonte Wyatt.

Adkins (knee) is questionable to return to Sunday's contest against the Cowboys, Parker Gabriel of The Denver Post reports.

Adkins suffered an apparent knee injury in the second half, and his status for the rest of the game is now up in the air. In his absence, Evan Engram will continue to handle the majority of the workload at tight end versus Dallas.

Frazier (calf) is active for Sunday night's contest against the Packers.

Frazier will be able to go in Week 8 after being considered questionable due to a calf injury. The 24-year-old will be in his starting role at center versus Green Bay.

Wyatt (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Steelers, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.

Wyatt drew the questionable tag for Week 8 after being limited in practice all week, and he has been cleared to return from a two-game absence due to a knee injury. His return means Karl Brooks and Nazir Stackhouse will both see a small dip in rotational snaps at defensive tackle, though rookie sixth-rounder Warren Brinson (hamstring) is inactive for Sunday's game.

Bigsby carried the ball nine times for 104 yards in Sunday's 38-20 win over the Giants.

Saquon Barkley left early in the fourth quarter with a groin injury, and Bigsby did most of his damage as the Eagles put the game to bed. It was still a very impressive performance from the former Jaguar, who came into the afternoon with just 23 rushing yards on the season between Jacksonville and Philly while being primarily used as a kickoff returner. The Eagles get a well-timed Week 9 bye, so Barkley may not miss any further action, but if he's not ready to return for a Week 10 clash with the Packers, Bigsby could find himself handling a very significant role in the offense.

Gordon carried the ball 10 times for 46 yards during Miami's 34-10 win over Atlanta on Sunday. He also secured his only target for a 20-yard touchdown.

Gordon turned in the best performance of his young career in Week 8, with Tua Tagovailoa in command of a Dolphins offense that looked not only resurgent but more complete than it had at any prior point this season. The rookie fifth-round pick logged new career-high marks in terms of carries, rushing yardage and receiving yardage versus Atlanta. Gordon is solidified as the No. 2 backfield option behind De'Von Achane, a role that will provide him modest fantasy value if Miami's offense is able to translate the momentum of this Week 8 in into actual consistency. The Dolphins face a difficult upcoming schedule, however, with their next three games coming against the Ravens, Bills and Commanders. Miami's next test will come versus Baltimore on Thursday.

Havrisik (coach's decision) is listed as inactive Sunday at Pittsburgh, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.

Green Bay's regular placekicker Brandon McManus is back in action after missing the last two games due to a right quadriceps injury. Havrisik thus will be in street clothes after not missing a kick (4-for-4 on FGAs, 6-for-6 on PATs) in his stint with Green Bay.

Hurts completed 15 of 20 passes for 179 yards and four touchdowns in Sunday's 38-20 win over the Giants. He added 22 rushing yards on four carries.

The Eagles QB didn't need to air it out much, as both Saquon Barkley (groin) and Tank Bigsby topped 100 rushing yards on the afternoon, but Hurts was surgical when he did throw it, hitting Dallas Goedert for a pair of TDs and sending one each to Barkley and Jahan Dotson. The four scores tied Hurts' career high, a mark he reached in both 2022 and 2023, and he's thrown multiple touchdowns in five of the last six contests, amassing a 15:1 TD:INT over that stretch. Hurts will get a well-earned rest on Philly's Week 9 bye before taking on the Packers at Lambeau Field in Week 10.

Clark (ribs) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Broncos, Joe Hoyt of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Clark sustained the injury during the second half of Sunday's game, and he was carted to the locker room to undergo more tests after being initially evaluated by medical staff on the sidelines. With Clark done for the day, the Cowboys may have to turn to a corner to fill in at safety such as C.J. Goodwin, Trikweze Bridges, Kaiir Elam or Corey Ballentine. Clark got the start at safety Sunday due to the absences of Donovan Wilson (elbow), Juanyeh Thomas (migraine) and Malik Hooker (toe, IR).

McManus (right quadriceps) is active for Sunday's game in Pittsburgh, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.

McManus thus is putting an end to a two-game absence due to the right quad that he tweaked during Week 6 prep. He's slated to handle his usual placekicking duties Week 8 while his fill-in Lucas Havrisik is a healthy scratch. In four appearances this season, McManus has connected on seven of nine field-goal attempts and 11 of 12 point-after tries.
