Jones (knee) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Bengals, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Jones popped up on Friday's practice report as a limited participant due to a knee injury, which is severe enough for him to not suit up Sunday. He's only worked on special teams across two regular-season appearances, but his absence means the Titans will also have less depth in the secondary. His next chance to play is Week 10 against the Jaguars on Sunday, Nov. 15.

Tampa (knee) is active for Sunday's game versus Buffalo.

Tampa was removed from injured reserve Saturday after logging consecutive full practice sessions Thursday and Friday. While it's unknown how much action he will see in Week 8, his presence will at least add depth to the secondary and special teams.

Goedeke (calf) is active for Sunday's game against the Falcons, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

Goedeke earned the questionable tag for Week 8 after logging a limited practice Friday, and he's been cleared by medical staff to return from a one-game absence due to a calf injury. He'll reclaim his starting spot at right tackle while Benjamin Chukwuma reverts to a depth role.

Barton (illness) is active for Sunday's game against the Falcons, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

Barton picked up an illness over the weekend, but the third-year center has been cleared to play Sunday.

Parham (knee) is active for Sunday's game against Las Vegas.

Parham will be back in action for the first time since Week 3, when he sustained a knee injury in a loss to the Lions. Though he was listed as questionable heading into Sunday, Parham was cleared to play after logging a pair of limited practices and a full session during the week. He should step back in as the Jets' starting left guard, sending Jordan Meredith back to the bench.

Locke (foot) is active for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

Locke was activated from injured reserve Saturday and has been officially cleared to return from a five-game absence due to a foot injury. His presence strengthens the Cowboys' depth in the secondary and gives the team another contributor on special teams.

Thomas (ankle) is active against the Steelers on Sunday, Kelsey Russo of the Browns' official site reports.

An ankle injury limited Thomas' practice reps during Week 8 prep, but the seventh-year pro was cleared by medical staff to play Sunday. He has seven tackles (four solo) across five regular-season games while serving mostly on special teams.

Melton (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Cowboys, Darren Urban of the team's official site reports.

Melton was inactive for the Week 7 meeting with the Broncos. While he was listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Dallas after logging three limited practice sessions during the week, he has since been cleared to suit up, likely resulting in fewer snaps for Kalen King.

Leonard (coach's decision) is inactive but will serve as the emergency third quarterback against the Jaguars on Sunday, JJ Stankevitz of the Colts' official site reports.

As the emergency QB3, Leonard is now allowed to see the field Sunday unless both Daniel Jones and Anthony Richardson are taken out of the game due to injury, illness or ejection.

Brosmer (coach's decision) is inactive but will serve as the Vikings' emergency third quarterback against the Lions on Sunday.

As the emergency QB3, Brosmer is prohibited from playing Sunday unless both Kyler Murray and Carson Wentz leave the game due to injury, illness or ejection.
