Mayer (concussion) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Titans, while Brock Bowers (knee) has been ruled out, Ryan McFadden of ESPN.com reports.

Mayer missed the Raiders' previous two games due to a concussion but cleared league protocol earlier in the week and subsequently logged three full practices during Week 6 prep. He's expected to play a significant role in Vegas' passing offense in Bowers' absence.

Jones (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at Indianapolis, Bo Brack of GoPHNX.com reports.

Jones' practice reps were capped during the entirety of Week 6 prep due to a knee injury, and his status for Sunday will be clarified about 90 minutes before a 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff. If Jones is able to suit up, who will be under center for the Cardinals is up in the air considering Kyler Murray (foot) managed just one limited practice this week and is listed as questionable. Jacoby Brissett will get the nod at quarterback if Murray is inactive.

Turpin (foot) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Panthers.

Turpin will miss a second consecutive game due to a foot injury he suffered Week 4 against the Packers. He has yet to practice since sustaining the injury. Jaydon Blue and Jalen Tolbert are expected to return kickoffs and punts, respectively, in Turpin's absence.

Flowers (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Rams, Brian Wacker of the Baltimore Sun reports.

Flowers was limited in all three of Baltimore's practices prior to being tagged with a questionable designation for Week 6. Even if Flowers plays, he would be catching passes from backup quarterback Cooper Rush, as Lamar Jackson (hamstring) has been ruled out for a second consecutive game.

Rush will start Sunday against the Rams after the Ravens ruled out Lamar Jackson (hamstring) for that contest, Brian Wacker of The Baltimore Sun reports.

Earlier Friday, coach John Harbaugh declined to give a game designation for Jackson ahead of Week 6 action but added that if he doesn't play, Rush would get the nod under center, per Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com. Now that the preceding has come to pass, Rush will start his second straight game this weekend, though he'll be looking to be more productive after completing 14-for-20 passes for 179 yards, no touchdowns and three interceptions during this past Sunday's 44-10 loss to the Texans.

Jackson (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Rams, Brian Wacker of The Baltimore Sun reports.

With Jackson set to miss his second straight game, Cooper Rush is in line to draw another start at quarterback for the Ravens this weekend. With the team on bye Week 7, Jackson will target a potential return to action Oct. 26 against the Bears.

Higbee (hip) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game at Baltimore, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

Higbee missed Week 5 and didn't practice Wednesday, but he returned Thursday as a limited participant before upgrading to full Friday. He had just 11 targets on 86 routes over the first four weeks of the season.

Garrett (ankle) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Steelers, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports.

Garrett is good to go after a full practice Friday following limited sessions Wednesday and Thursday. The star pass rusher has 4.0 sacks this season, though he comes into Sunday's game against Steelers mired in a two-game drought in that category.

Corley (groin) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Steelers, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports.

Corley upgraded to full participation Friday following a pair of limited practices. The 2024 third-round draft pick of the Jets played 12 snaps on offense in his Browns debut against the Vikings this past Sunday in London, turning his only touch into an 11-yard carry.

Collins didn't get a target Thursday in a 34-17 win over the Eagles.

The Giants were playing without wideouts Malik Nabers (knee, out for the season) and Darius Slayton (hamstring) on Thursday, so there was some expectation that Collins would be asked to step into a bigger role. Instead, Collins logged only four offensive snaps while practice-squad elevation Lil'Jordan Humphrey worked as New York's No. 2 wideout with a 77 percent snap share. Jalin Hyatt (29 offensive snaps) also was above Collins in the pecking order, and the latter's participation level was his lowest since he played exclusively on special teams Week 2 versus Dallas. With that in mind, Collins doesn't appear to be moving up the Giants' depth chart even given the team's injuries at the wideout position, so he's probably not worth a roster spot in almost all fantasy formats.
