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.

Golden (hip) is listed as active Sunday in Pittsburgh, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.

Golden ended Week 8 prep Friday by being added to the injury report as limited due to a hip injury, leaving him questionable for Sunday's game. Ian Rapoport of NFL Network then reported earlier Sunday that Golden was in line to suit up, which now has been confirmed. With Christian Watson back in action for the first time since Week 18 of last season after completing his recovery from a torn right ACL, Golden will have additional competition for deep routes in Green Bay's passing game.

Marks rushed 11 times for 62 yards and secured all four targets for 49 yards in the Texans' 26-15 win over the 49ers on Sunday.

Marks led the Texans in rushing yards despite logging six fewer carries than backfield mate Nick Chubb, and he also made his mark as a pass catcher with a game-long 50-yard reception. Marks' 5.6 yards per carry served as a new career high, and he's now been afforded double-digit carries in three of the last four games while generating an 11-119-1 receiving line in the same span. The ascending rookie next sets his sights on a Week 9 home matchup against a tough Broncos defense.

Watson (knee) is active for Sunday's game at Pittsburgh, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.

Watson thus is back in action for the first time since he suffered a torn ACL in his right knee Week 18 of last season. However, considering he wasn't able to log a full practice during his 21-day window in which to mix into drills before the Packers activated him from the reserve/PUP list Saturday, he may operate with a cap on his snaps Sunday. In any case, Watson will be available along with fellow WRs Matthew Golden (hip), Romeo Doubs, Malik Heath and Savion Williams for QB Jordan Love, while Dontayvion Wicks (calf) is inactive.

Parrish (oblique) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Saints.

Parrish appeared to sustain the injury during the fourth quarter. The Buccaneers are holding a commanding lead late in the fourth quarter, so he's is unlikely to return to Sunday's game even if he is cleared to do so. Josh Hayes and Benjamin Morrison would be in line for snaps at the slot corner position if Parrish remains sidelined.

Romo made his lone field-goal attempt and connected on his only extra-point try during the Falcons' 34-10 loss to the Dolphins on Sunday.

Romo put the Falcons on the board with a 45-yard field goal early in the second quarter and added a PAT in the fourth frame, but he was otherwise idle as Atlanta struggled to move the ball down the field with Kirk Cousins under center for the injured Michael Penix (knee). Romo is now 10-for-13 on field-goal attempts and has made all 10 of his extra-point tries through six regular-season games.

Boutte caught three of five targets for 75 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 32-13 win over the Browns.

Mack Hollins surprisingly led the Patriots in catches, receiving yards and targets, but Boutte made a big splash with a 39-yard TD strike from Drake Maye, one of three passing touchdowns by the second-year QB in the third quarter. Boutte has gotten into the end zone in three straight games, posting a 10-223-4 line on 12 targets during that surge, and he'll look to keep rolling in Week 9 against the Falcons.

Pineiro made his lone extra-point try during the 49ers' 26-15 loss to the Texans on Sunday.

Pineiro was idle for most of Sunday's game, with his only kick attempt coming in the second quarter after a 17-yard touchdown pass from Mac Jones to George Kittle. Week 8 marked the first time this season that Pineiro did not attempt a field goal. He is 17-for-17 on field-goal attempts and 10-for-11 on extra-point tries through seven regular-season games.

Tagovailoa completed 20 of 26 passes for 205 yards with four touchdowns and no interceptions in the Dolphins' 34-10 win over the Falcons on Sunday.

Tagovailoa came into the afternoon dealing with an illness that forced him onto the injury report early Sunday morning, but he and the Dolphins conquered heavy odds to deliver a completely unexpected comfortable victory. Tagovailoa tossed a season-high four touchdown passes, hitting running backs De'Von Achane and Ollie Gordon from three and 20 yards out, respectively, and sandwiching those throws around nine- and 43-yard scoring strikes to Malik Washington and Jaylen Waddle. This was a much-needed respite from both individual and team struggles for Tagovailoa and his teammates, but he'll have to turn around and face another talented defense in that of the Ravens during a Week 9 home matchup Thursday night.

Szmyt missed his lone field-goal attempt and made his only extra-point try during the Browns' 32-13 loss to the Patriots on Sunday.

Szmyt was unable to connect on a 47-yard field goal early in the second quarter, which would have extended the Browns' lead to 10-3. It was his third missed field goal of the season, and he is now 10-for-13 on field-goal attempts and 12-for-13 on point-after tries through the first eight games of the regular season.
