Fitzpatrick (groin) is now doubtful to return to Sunday's game against the Titans, Antwan V. Staley of the New York Daily News reports.

The safety left the game in the first half due to a groin injury. Fitzpatrick did not record a stat before leaving the field. Malachi Moore and Andre Cisco should be in line to see more snaps in his absence.

Parrish (back) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Bengals, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

Parrish had to go to the locker room after sustaining a back injury in the second quarter, and the injury is severe enough for him to not return to Sunday's contest. Benjamin Morrison will be more heavily involved defensively in Parrish's absence.

Flowers is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the .Colts due to a hamstring injury, Ryan Mink of the Ravens' official site reports.

Before checking out of the game midway through the second quarter, Flowers was on his way to a huge day with five receptions for 150 yards and a touchdown on six targets. The Ravens will evaluate Flowers in the locker room during halftime before updating his status prior to the start of third quarter. Given that Flowers had been listed with a hamstring issue on the injury report leading up to Sunday's season opener, his day could be done.

Bishop suffered a knee injury during Sunday's game against the Texans but is probable to return.

The safety went down on the field after contributing to a tackle, stretched out his leg and then limped off, per Matt Parrino of The Syracuse Post-Standard. Bishop entered the blue medical tent on the sideline, according to Lance Lysowski of The Buffalo News. He recorded four tackles (one solo) before exiting.

Brownlee (calf) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Titans.

Brownlee sustained the injury in the second quarter and had to be helped off the field before being carted to the locker room, where he'll undergo further tests to determine whether he can return to Sunday's game. Malachi Moore will fill in at nickel corner for as long as Brownlee is sidelined, per Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic.

Parrish is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Bengals due to a back injury, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

Parrish appeared to sustain the injury while tackling Bengals wideout Tee Higgins, and the former walked off the field slowly with trainers. Benjamin Morrison will see an uptick in playing time on defense for as long as Parrish is sidelined.

Thomas is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Browns due to a shoulder injury.

Thomas reached a major milestone during Sunday's game, becoming the second-youngest player in Jaguars franchise history to surpass 2,000 career receiving yards after reeling in three receptions for 40 yards on three targets. However, Thomas may not be able to build on that total for the rest of the contest, as he headed to the locker room in the second quarter with trainers by his side, per John Shipley of SI.com. He'll get his shoulder examined further before the Jaguars decide if he's able to return.

Hand has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Steelers due to a knee injury, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

It's not clear when Hand sustained the injury, but it's severe enough for him to not return to Sunday's contest. Maason Smith is the lone depth option left on the defensive line behind starters LaCale London, Gervon Dexter and Brandon Dorlus.

Sampson (knee) has been downgraded to out for Sunday's game against the Jaguars.

Sampson was initially deemed questionable to return after injuring his knee in the first quarter, but after making a visit to the medical tent on the sideline followed by two trips to the locker room, the Browns determined that his day is over, per Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com. His absence leaves Cleveland with Raheim Sanders as its lone backup behind starter Quinshon Judkins for the remainder of the game. Sampson didn't receive any touches on offense but gained 64 yards on two kickoff returns prior to his departure.

Tampa has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Colts due to a knee injury, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

Tampa went to the locker room late in the first quarter, and tests have revealed that his knee injury is severe enough for him to remain sidelined for the rest of Sunday's contest. Chidobe Awuzie will be the main rotational option at outside corner behind Marlon Humphrey and Nate Wiggins in Tampa's absence.
