Cosmi (knee) is active for Sunday's contest against the Cowboys.

Cosmi will make his return after missing the team's first six games of the year while recovering from a torn ACL that he sustained in January. The offensive lineman is geared up to be back in his starting role at right guard versus Dallas.

Strong (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.

With Josh Jacbos (calf/illness) officially cleared to play, Strong will observe Sunday's game in street clothes while Emanuel Wilson and Chris Brooks provide depth out of the backfield. The Packers elevated Strong from the practice squad Saturday, and he can be brought up twice more by Green Bay this season.

Nwangwu went to the locker room during Sunday's game against the Panthers to be evaluated for a potential concussion, Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic reports.

Nwangwu went to the locker room to get checked for a possible concussion during the third quarter of Sunday's game. The return specialist had one return for 29 yards against the Panthers and is averaging 35.0 yards per return this season.

Lane should see a boost in targets in Sunday's Week 7 clash against the Cowboys due to the inactive status of Terry McLaurin (quadriceps) and Deebo Samuel (heel), as well as the absence of Noah Brown (IR, groin/knee).

The rookie fourth-round pick has been modestly involved in the early stages of his NFL career, logging 15 targets over his first six contests. However, with the Commanders' wide-receiver corps especially thin Sunday and Washington set to have to remain aggressive with a potent Dallas offense on the other side, Lane, along with Luke McCaffrey and Chris Moore, appears set to serve as one of Jayden Daniels' top targets when dropping back.

Tufele (knee) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Panthers.

Tufele sustained a knee injury early in the third quarter, and he'll be evaluated by medical staff to determine whether he can return. Jowon Briggs will be the Jets' lone rotational option at defensive tackle if Tufele is unable to return.

Smith (back) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's matchup with the Raiders.

Smith suffered a back injury in the first half of the contest, and he will now be forced to miss the rest of the game. Mike Caliendo has taken over at right guard in Smith's absence.

Waller (pectoral) won't return to Sunday's game against the Browns.

Prior to his exit, Waller didn't record a catch. In his absence, Julian Hill and Tanner Conner will handle Miami's TE duties versus Cleveland. Waller's next chance to see game action will be next Sunday against the Falcons.

Dimukeje (pectoral) is active for Sunday's game against the Broncos, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

The Giants activated Dimukeje from injured reserve Saturday, and the fourth-year linebacker has been cleared to make his 2025 regular-season debut Sunday. He'll likely see most of his snaps on special teams but could see some rotational snaps at outside linebacker due to Chauncey Golston (neck) being inactive.

Jackson (concussion) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's contest against the Vikings.

Jackson and Vikings tight end T.J. Hockenson collided in the third quarter, ultimately resulting in a concussion for Jackson. In his absence, Kelee Ringo will stand to see an increase in workload at cornerback versus Minnesota.

Jones (knee) is active for Sunday's game versus the Packers, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Despite just one appearance in practice this week -- he was limited Friday -- Jones will play through a knee injury but remain the Cardinals' No. 3 WR, at best, behind Marvin Harrison and Michael Wilson. In five appearances this season, Jones has put together a 10-116-0 line on 15 targets.
