Elliss (chest) is active Week 5 against the Raiders.

It wasn't a sure thing that Elliss would suit up after only participating in practice in a limited basis all week, but that ended up being enough. The veteran linebacker played through a similar issue last week against Buffalo, where he logged six combined tackles across 58 defensive snaps.

Jones (shoulder) is active Week 5 against the Raiders.

Jones has been a regular on the injury report this season due to ongoing shoulder issues, but so far he has only missed Week 3. He'll suit up for Sunday's home matchup after logging zero tackles on 43 defensive snaps a week ago against Buffalo.

Leonard (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Steelers, though he is listed as the team's emergency quarterback.

Leonard is inactive once again. However, as has been the case in previous weeks, Leonard will be available if Daniel Jones and Anthony Richardson exit the contest due to injury, illness or ejection.

Wright (foot) is active for Sunday's game against the Bengals.

Wright was a mid-week addition to the Dolphins' injury report, after a sore foot limited his participation in practices Thursday and Friday. He took a questionable tag into the weekend but looks to be healthy enough to contribute out of the Miami backfield. In the wake of De'Von Achane's (knee) season-ending ACL tear, Ollie Gordon led the Dolphins with 100 rushing yards and a touchdown on nine carries to go with two catches for zero yards in a Week 4 loss to the Vikings. After that strong effort, Gordon is the favorite to pace the Miami backfield in snaps and touches once again in Week 5, but it's possible Wright cuts into his workload a bit more if he isn't slowed by the foot issue.

Beckham (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game in New Orleans.

Only four days removed from the Vikings signing Beckham to the practice squad and elevating him ahead of Week 5 action, he'll be a healthy scratch in his first chance to contribute to Minnesota's offense. With Jordan Addison (hamstring) also inactive Sunday, the team's available wide receivers Sunday will be Justin Jefferson (ankle), Jauan Jennings, Tai Felton, Myles Price and Jeshaun Jones.

Woods (shoulder) is active Week 5 against the Raiders.

Woods suiting up was essentially a necessity for New England, who has four cornerbacks listed on the inactive list Sunday. The third-year defensive back -- who has 18 combined tackles through the first four weeks -- should be in line for a heavy snap count.

Enagbare (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Browns.

Enagbare ended Week 5 prep with a full practice after logging consecutive sessions with a knee injury to start the week. The defensive end is all set to suit up for Sunday's contest as a starting pass rusher for the Jets' defense.

McDonald (calf) is active for Sunday's game against the Browns.

McDonald appeared on Friday's injury report with a new calf injury. The defensive end managed to log limited participation in practice despite the injury and has recovered in time for Sunday's contest.

Woodson (shoulder) is active Week 5 against the Raiders.

Woodson will suit up for the second consecutive week despite logging only limited practices Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. The second-year defensive back dealt with a similar injury a week ago, but still logged three combined tackles and an interception on 58 defensive snaps.

Warren will remain the Steelers' unquestioned lead back in Sunday's Week 5 matchup against the Colts due to Rico Dowdle (toe) having been declared inactive for the contest.

Warren has thrived with the additional opportunity afforded by Dowdle's two-game absence to date, as the former has logged 23 total touches apiece in each contest and compiled 302 scrimmage yards in the process. Warren should be in store for a similar workload Sunday against a Colts defense that's surrendered 4.3 yards per carry and 11.1 yards per reception to running backs through four games.
