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.

Arnold (shoulder) has been ruled out ahead of Monday's game against the Buccaneers, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.

Coach Dan Campbell stated Tuesday that Arnold wouldn't play, though his status wasn't made official until Saturday. The Lions will be without four starters in their secondary in Monday's matchup.

Vaki (groin) has been ruled out ahead of Monday's matchup against Tampa Bay, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.

Vaki is set to miss his third straight game with the groin injury. He has been active only once this season, as he was sidelined by a hamstring injury earlier in the campaign.

Joseph (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Monday's game against the Buccaneers, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.

Joseph originally suffered the injury in Sunday night's loss to the Chiefs and was unable to practice all week. The Lions' secondary will be without four starters, with Brian Branch (suspension), Terrion Arnold (shoulder) and D.J. Reed (hamstring) all sidelined.

Goodson (groin) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Chargers.

Goodson practiced in limited fashion Friday, but that won't be enough for him to take the field in Week 7. This will mark his third consecutive absence and leave DJ Giddens as the backup to Jonathan Taylor.

The Giants have elevated Humphrey from the practice squad to the active roster ahead of Sunday's road matchup against the Broncos, Dan Salomone of the team's official site reports.

New York will be without Darius Slayton (hamstring) for a second consecutive game, while Malik Nabers (knee) is already done for the year, which positions Humphrey to again join Wan'Dale Robinson, Jalin Hyatt, Beaux Collins and Gunner Olszewski in the wide receiver corps. Humphrey was elevated Week 6 against the Eagles due to the same circumstance, a game in which he played 77 percent of offensive snaps and secured four of eight targets for 55 yards.

The Raiders elevated Jackson from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday.

Las Vegas could be without Jakobi Meyers (knee) and Alex Bachman (ankle), both of whom are listed as questionable, so Jackson will be added to the roster for the first time this season. Whether he's active on game day will likely come down to Meyers' and Bachman's status.

The Broncos activated Greenlaw (quadriceps) from injured reserve Saturday and expect him to make his regular-season debut versus the Giants on Sunday, Luca Evans of The Denver Post reports.

Defensive coordinator Vance Joseph has stated that Greenlaw will likely handle a part-time role as he retakes the field, so fantasy managers in IDP formats may want to hold off before slotting the veteran linebacker in as an every-week starter. A quad injury suffered during spring forced Greenlaw to sit out the Broncos' first six games of the regular season and will likely now require him to ramp up his activity, so beginning Sunday he figures to share reps with Justin Strnad at inside linebacker alongside Alex Singleton.

Nixon is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Cardinals due to an illness.

Nixon did not appear on the Packers' injury report this past week, indicating that his illness is a new issue. The severity of the illness isn't clear, and his status for Sunday's game may not be known until the Packers announce their list of inactive players approximately 90 minutes before the 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff. Nate Hobbs (knee), Kamal Hadden and Bo Melton would be candidates to see more work at outside corner opposite Carrington Valentine if Nixon is not cleared to play.
