Burton (back) is active Week 5 against Chicago.

It's a similar story to last week for Burton, who was limited in practice by a back injury but will ultimately be cleared to suit up in what's likely a depth role.

Haener is officially inactive for Sunday's game against the Commanders but is listed as the Giants' emergency quarterback, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

The 27-year-old was elevated from the practice squad to serve as the top backup to Jameis Winston the past two weeks, but he'll fill the emergency role Sunday after officially signing to the active roster Wednesday. After being acquired from the Vikings in late September, J.J. McCarthy has been deemed ready to handle the No. 2 job for the Giants.

Steen (shoulder) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Jaguars in London.

Steen's shoulder injury will cut down the Eagles' offensive line depth even further. With Cam Jurgens (concussion) now a Raven, Drew Kendall (knee) inactive, Lane Johnson (concussion) retired and Landon Dickerson (knee) on IR, Fred Johnson has replaced Steen at right guard.

Campbell (ankle) is inactive Week 5 against Chicago.

Campbell has played just 10 total snaps all season, missing three of the first four games, so it should still be business-as-usual for the Green Bay defensive line without him.

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

Howard is inactive once again, though he will serve as the Steelers' emergency signal-caller if Aaron Rodgers and Mason Rudolph exit the contest due to injury, illness or ejection.

Hargrave (toe) is active Week 5 against the Bears.

Hargrave entered the week with a questionable designation after only logging a single limited practice, but the veteran nose tackle will ultimately suit up for what the team is hoping is his regular role in the defensive line rotation.

Morton (coach's decision) is inactive but will serve as the Patriots' emergency third quarterback against the Raiders on Sunday.

Effectively, the rookie seventh-rounder is not allowed to play unless both Drake Maye and Tommy DeVito leave the game due to injury, illness or ejection.

Hunt (ankle/knee) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Jaguars in London.

Hunt exited the game at the end of the second quarter after assisting in stopping Jaguars running back Bhayshul Tuten on the goal line. The linebacker is dealing with multiple injuries, making it unlikely he will be able to return to the game.

Brown (hamstring) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Eagles.

Brown might have re-aggravated a hamstring injury in the second half of Sunday's game. The 27-year-old will be further evaluated by medical staff to determine if he can return. Jarrian Jones may see more reps in his absence.

Ward (groin) is active for Sunday's game against Pittsburgh.

Ward ended the practice week Friday by logging a full session, though his participation wasn't enough to avoid a questionable tag. The veteran has since been cleared to play in Week 5, meaning he will start opposite Sauce Gardner.
