Fagnano (coach's decision) is inactive but will serve as the Ravens' emergency third quarterback Sunday against the Bills.

Fagnano operated as the Ravens' backup quarterback behind Tyler Huntley for each of the team's prior three games in the absence of Lamar Jackson, who has been cleared to return for Sunday's contest against Buffalo. As the emergency QB3, Fagnano is not allowed to play unless both Jackson and Huntley are taken out of the game due to injury, illness or ejection.

Skowronek (calf) is inactive against the Browns on Sunday.

Skowronek will end up missing a third consecutive game due to a calf injury, and with the Steelers on a bye for Week 9, his next chance to play is Week 10 against the Bengals on Sunday, Nov. 15. Kaden Wetjen, Brandon Smith and Brandon Johnson are in line for more snaps on offense in Skowronek's absence.

Terrell (back/illness) is active for Sunday's game against Tampa Bay.

Terrell didn't play in Week 8 versus the 49ers, his first absence of the 2026 campaign. He practiced in a limited capacity during the week but still couldn't avoid a questionable designation for the divisional meeting with the Buccaneers. However, Terrell now has the green light to return from the one-game layoff, which will likely result in less work for C.J. Henderson (groin) and Mike Ford.

Clark (back) is active for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

Clark was a late addition to the Week 8 injury report Friday due to a back issue, but the veteran defensive lineman was given the green light by medical staff to play Sunday. He has 16 tackles (five solo), including 1.0 sacks, through seven regular-season games.

Johnson is in line to see additional snaps and targets in Sunday's Week 8 matchup against the Falcons, as Emeka Egbuka (concussion/foot) remains sidelined for the contest per Scott Smith of the team's official site.

Johnson found a way to make an impact in Week 7 against the Panthers, Egbuka's first absence, despite the returning Baker Mayfield putting the ball up only 11 times for 64 passing yards. Johnson brought in both targets for 33 yards and a touchdown, and he also gained 14 yards on a rush attempt. In the process, the second-year wideout logged a season-high 41 snaps and outshined rookie Ted Hurst, who logged 35 snaps and failed to reel in his only target. While the depth chart reflects Hurst as ahead of Johnson, the latter may once again be the bigger beneficiary of Egbuka's absence against an Atlanta defense that's allowed the third-most receptions (96) to wide receivers this season.

Dalton is inactive for Sunday's game versus the Buccaneers, though he will be available as the team's emergency backup if necessary.

Dalton agreed to a deal with the Falcons in October. While the veteran signal-caller will be inactive for the Week 8 meeting against Tampa Bay, he will be eligible to play if Michael Penix and Tua Tagovailoa exit the game due to injury, illness or ejection.

Schoomaker (groin) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

Schoonmaker was unable to practice Thursday nor Friday due to a groin injury that he sustained during Week 8 prep. He'll miss his first game of the regular season Sunday, and he'll aim to recover enough to return for Week 9 against the Colts on Nov. 8. Jake Ferguson, Brevyn Spann-Ford and James Mitchell will be the Cowboys' three active tight ends against Arizona.

Tinsley (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against Tennessee.

Tinsley has played in each of the Bengals' last three games and has logged four catches on eight targets for 56 yards over that span. He will observe Sunday's contest from the sidelines, and his next opportunity to play is Week 9 against the Falcons on Nov. 8.

Bailey (groin) is inactive for Sunday's game against Las Vegas.

Bailey suffered a groin injury during the Week 7 meeting with the Dolphins. He didn't practice throughout the week and will now miss his first game of the 2026 campaign. Without Bailey on the field versus the Raiders, Nate Lynn and Will McDonald are candidates for more snaps.

Godwin is in line to operate as the Buccaneers de facto No. 1 receiver again in Sunday's Week 8 matchup against the Falcons, as Emeka Egbuka (concussion/foot) is inactive for the contest per Scott Smith of the team's official site.

Godwin filled Egbuka's No. 1 role in a Week 7 rout of the Panthers, one where Baker Mayfield returned from a thumb injury but put the ball up only 11 times in a 43-13 win for Tampa Bay. As a result, Godwin ran just 12 routes, although he was targeted on 41.7 percent of them on his way to five targets and a 4-27-0 line. Considering Mayfield had just seven completions and 64 passing yards, Godwin's role was indeed that of the top option in the air attack, and Sunday's game against the Falcons is almost certain to involve appreciably higher passing volume for Tampa Bay.
