Johnson (ankle) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Broncos, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Johnson is good to go after logging a full practice Friday. His return to the field should provide a substantial boost to a Jets pass rush that has struggled since Johnson got hurt in Week 2.

Nwangwu (hamstring) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Broncos, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Nwangwu upgraded to full practice participation Friday to avoid an injury designation for Sunday's game in London. He's set to reclaim primary kickoff return duties on special teams in what will be Nwangwu's first action since Week 1.

Watson (knee) won't play this Sunday against Cincinnati, even though Packers coach Matt LaFleur said Friday that the wideout has looked good at practice this week, Paul Bretl of the Wisconsin State Journal reports.

Coming back from an ACL tear suffered in Week 18 last season, Watson returned to practice Monday and then was listed as a limited participant Wednesday and Thursday. It sounds like he could play as soon as Week 7 or 8, but it won't happen this Sunday in a game where the Packers are favored by nearly two touchdowns.

Dodson (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Chargers, Travis Wingfield of the Dolphins' official site reports.

Dodson remains in concussion protocol after being concussed in this past Sunday's loss to the Panthers. His next chance to take the field will come Oct. 19 in Cleveland, though Dodson would first have to clear the NFL's five-step concussion protocol and return to practice. K.J. Britt will likely see additional action in Dodson's absence.

Jackson (hamstring) isn't practicing Friday, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.

With Jackson in line to log his third straight DNP this week, the star QB is trending toward missing Sunday's game against the Rams. Such an outcome could be solidified once Friday's final injury report is posted, and in that event Cooper Rush would be slated to handle another starting turn for the Ravens this weekend before they head into a Week 7 bye.

Duck (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Chargers, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.

Duck hasn't played since injuring his ankle Week 1. If cleared to suit up Sunday, Duck would likely reclaim a starting role at cornerback, relegating Rasul Douglas to a depth role.

Hubbard (calf) wasn't taking part in individual drills during the early stages of practice Friday, Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer reports.

Hubbard didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday, and with the running back trending toward another DNP on Friday, David Newton of ESPN.com notes that it doesn't look promising with regard to Hubbard's status for Sunday's game against the Cowboys. If he ends up deemed out for the contest, the stage would be set for Rico Dowdle to work as Carolina's lead back versus his former team.

The Browns are hoping Campbell will play a full-time role Sunday against the Steelers, per cornerbacks coach Brandon Lynch, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

Campbell was acquired Wednesday in a trade with Jacksonville. Lynch spent extra time with Campbell on Thursday, helping Campbell get up to speed on Cleveland's defensive scheme. Campbell is expected to start at outside cornerback in his Browns debut Sunday.

Roach (calf) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Jets, head coach Sean Payton said Friday, Zac Stevens of DNVR Sports reports.

Payton added that Roach is "doing well." In order to make his season debut Sunday against the Jets in London, Roach would first have to be activated from injured reserve. He was designated to return from IR on Wednesday, opening up a three-week window for the Broncos to activate the defensive tackle.

Demercado has been the second running back in Arizona's rotation in practice, and head coach Jonathan Gannon said Demercado won't face additional punishment for his costly fumble in this past Sunday's loss to the Titans, Theo Mackie of the Arizona Republic reports.

Demercado appears set to reprise his change-of-pace role behind Michael Carter against the Colts on Sunday, which resulted in only thee touches for Demercado against Tennessee, one of which should have been a 72-yard touchdown run but instead resulted in a fumble at the goal line. Arizona could lean more on its backfield of Carter, Demercado and Bam Knight if starting quarterback Kyler Murray (foot) isn't available.
