Wilson (knee) does not have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Cowboys, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

Wilson's practice reps were limited due to a knee injury, but the veteran linebacker's full practice Friday was enough for him to fade an injury tag for Sunday's road game. The 2019 fifth-rounder has 47 tackles (20 solo), one pass defense and one forced fumble through seven regular-season games.

Winters (calf) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Tommy Yarrish of the Cowboys' official site reports.

Winters has not been cleared to practice since suffering a calf injury against the Packers in Week 6. He'll be sidelined for a second consecutive game, so Shemar James should once again start alongside DeMarvion Overshown at inside linebacker, with Jaishawn Barham providing depth. Winters' next opportunity to play is Week 9 against the Colts on Sunday, Nov. 8.

Turpin (ribs) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Tommy Yarrish of the Cowboys' official site reports.

Turpin continues to work through a rib injury that he sustained in Week 6 against the Packers. The injury will sideline him for a second consecutive week, and his next chance to play is Week 9 against the Colts on Sunday, Nov. 8. Tyler Goodson and Jonathan Mingo will continue to serve as the Cowboys' returners on kickoffs and special teams in Turpin's absence.

Downs (ankle) has no designation for Sunday's clash against the Cardinals, Tommy Yarrish of the Cowboys' official site reports.

Downs was limited in practice Wednesday and Thursday due to an ankle issue, but he was able to return to full participation Friday. As a result, he's not at risk of missing Sunday's tilt versus Arizona. The first-round rookie has started all seven of Dallas' games this season and should fill the same role Sunday.

Allen (hamstring) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Chiefs.

Allen injured his hamstring during the Broncos' Week 7 win over the Cardinals. He ended Week 8 prep with back-to-back limited practices, which was enough for him to draw the questionable tag for Sunday's AFC West tilt. Malcom Roach, Jordan Jackson and Sai'vion Jones would all be in line for more defensive snaps if Allen is not cleared to play.

Hufanga (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's matchup against Kansas City.

Hufanga is set to miss his third straight game due to an ankle injury he suffered Oct. 11 versus the Chargers. The veteran safety didn't practice at all this week, so it's far from certain he'll be ready to return Week 9. Devon Key and Jahdae Barron should continue to help prop up the secondary in Hufanga's absence.

Jones (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Chiefs.

Jones may have tweaked his hamstring during Week 8 prep, seeing as he popped up on Thursday's injury report as a limited practice participant. Talanoa Hufanga (ankle) has already been ruled out, and if he's joined by Jones on the sidelines, then the Broncos would have to rely more heavily on Devon Key, JL Skinner and Jahdae Barron in the secondary.

Landman (concussion) does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Chargers, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

Landman strung together a trio of full practices, and after passing an evaluation by an independent neurologist, he has been cleared to play in Sunday's contest. The fifth-year pro has 51 tackles (27 solo), one pass defense and two forced fumbles through six regular-season games.

Jackson (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Rams, Eric Smith of the Chargers' official site reports.

A hamstring injury prevented Jackson from playing in the Chargers' two games prior to the Week 7 bye. He was a limited participant in all three practices during Week 8 prep, but if he cannot play, then Rodney Shelley (hamstring) and Tarheeb Still would be candidates to start opposite Cam Hart at outside cornerback.

James (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's clash against the Rams, Eric Smith of the Chargers' official site reports.

A hamstring issue will keep James sidelined for a fourth consecutive contest despite the Chargers coming off a Week 7 bye. Smith reported early in the week that James suffered a setback with the injury, and the veteran safety didn't end up practicing in any capacity. Tony Jefferson will likely have a major role in the secondary again Sunday, and it's unclear when James will be ready to return to action.
