Carter (concussion) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Panthers.

Carter has been sidelined by the concussion since Week 4. Jarvis Brownlee will continue to serve as the Jets' slot corner in Carter's place.

The Chargers activated Mack (elbow) from injured reserve Saturday, but he's still listed as questionable for Sunday's contest against the Colts.

Mack's window to come off IR opened Wednesday, and despite being limited in practice all week, the veteran edge rusher is expected to make his return Sunday after recovering from an elbow injury sustained in Week 2 against the Raiders, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. Mack may be slowly eased into action in his first game back, but his return means Odafe Oweh, Bud Dupree and rookie fourth-rounder Kyle Kennard all are in jeopardy of seeing their snap counts on defense decrease.

The Colts elevated Treadwell to the active roster from the practice squad Saturday.

Josh Downs (concussion) and Ashton Dulin (chest) have been ruled out for Sunday's matchup against the Chargers, leaving the Colts shorthanded at wide receiver. Treadwell has spent the entire season on the team's practice squad, with this elevation marking his first of the year.

The Patriots elevated Jennings from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday.

Jennings will be elevated for a second straight week and be available to play against the Titans on Sunday. He played seven snaps on special teams against the Saints in Week 6, and the 24-year-old running back will likely be limited to that role while TreVeyon Henderson and Rhamondre Stevenson handle the work out of the backfield.

The Colts signed Adbullah from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday.

Tyler Goodson (groin) has been ruled out, leaving the Colts in need of running back depth behind Jonathan Taylor and DJ Giddens. Abdullah was active in Weeks 5 and 6, logging a total of three carries for 13 yards and a touchdown, and he'll now have a permanent spot on the roster.

David (knee) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Lions, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.

David has worked through a knee injury for much of the season, and he managed to practice in full Saturday after logging back-to-back DNPs to open the week. Given how the Buccaneers have limited David's practice snaps this season, the veteran linebacker should be cleared to play in Monday's road contest. In the event that he doesn't play or operates under a snap count on defense, Deion Jones would be the top candidate to see more snaps at inside linebacker alongside SirVocea Dennis.

Bridgewater is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Lions due to an illness, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.

The illness is a new issue for the veteran quarterback, and it prevented him from participating in Saturday's practice. He'll have some time to recover, but the Buccaneers could elevate Connor Bazelak from the practice squad ahead of Monday's game against Detroit. Bridgewater has not played a single snap during the regular season while operating as Baker Mayfield's backup.

Ward (concussion) was placed on injured reserve Saturday.

Ward suffered a concussion during warmups for Week 6 and had already been ruled out for Sunday's matchup against the Chargers. He'll now be sidelined for the next four games, ruling him out until at least a Week 12 matchup against the Chiefs. Ward's absence is a significant blow for the Colts' secondary, as he had played at least 80 percent of defensive snaps in all four of his healthy contests this season.

Reader (back) is questionable for Monday's game against the Buccaneers, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.

Reader appears to have picked up the injury in Detroit's Week 6 loss, though he was able to practice in limited fashion both Friday and Saturday. That seemingly bodes well for his availability Monday night, though his status won't become official until shortly before kickoff.

McNeill (knee) is listed as questionable ahead of Monday's game against the Buccaneers, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official sitereports.

McNeill has been sidelined for the entire 2025 season as he recovers from a torn ACL. Coach Dan Campbell indicated that McNeill will be available for his season debut in Week 7, though his status won't become official until shortly before kickoff Monday night.
