Alt (neck) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Broncos.

Alt will not play Sunday due to a neck injury that he picked up against the Seahawks in Week 4. Travis Burke figures to draw the start at right tackle in the absence of Alt, whose next chance to play is Week 6 against the Chiefs on Sunday, Oct. 18.

Jurgens (concussion) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Falcons, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

The Eagles traded Jurgens to the Ravens on Wednesday. The center remains in the NFL's concussion protocol and will not be able to suit up for Sunday's contest, meaning fourth-string center Olaivavega Ioane will start to protect backup quarterback Tyler Huntley in Sunday's game due to the injury to star quarterback Lamar Jackson (ankle).

Head coach Brian Schottenheimer said Friday that X-rays on Guyton's back came back negative, Joe Hoyt of The Dallas Morning News reports.

It's positive news for the third-year pro, who sustained a back injury late during the Cowboys' loss to the Buccaneers on Thursday. Dallas' Week 6 practice participation will provide clarity on Guyton's chances of playing against the Packers on Sunday, Oct. 18.

Jenkins (back) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Jets, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.

Jenkins will end up missing each of the Browns' first five games of the regular season due to a back injury, which prevented him from practicing all week. His next chance to make his 2026 regular-season debut is Week 6 against the Ravens on Sunday, Oct. 18.

Carlies (ribs) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Steelers.

Carlies was unable to practice throughout the Colts' Week 5 prep. The weakside linebacker injured his ribs in the team's Week 4 win over the Commanders in London. Tahj Chambers or Austin Ajiake will start at weakside linebacker in Carlies' absence.

Matthews (groin) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Ravens.

Matthews was able to log a full practice Friday, but the Falcons aren't quite ready to clear the veteran offensive lineman for Sunday's game. If he cannot play due to a groin injury, then Michael Jerrell would likely start at left tackle.

Abdullah (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Ravens, Will McFadden of the Falcons' official site reports.

Abdullah was held out of practice all week due to a hamstring injury and will not suit up Sunday, leaving Cameron Thomas and Jared Ivey as the top rotational options on the edge. Abdullah's next chance to play is Week 6 against the Bears on Sunday, Oct. 18.

Zuhn (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Patriots, Paul Gutierrez of Raiders.com reports.

Zuhn suffered a knee injury in the first half of the Raiders' Week 4 loss to the Chiefs and did not return to the contest. The reserve offensive lineman has now been ruled out of Week 5 due to the injury, and it is unclear how much time he will miss.

Elliott (quadriceps) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Packers.

Elliott missed the Bears' last two practices while tending to a quad injury, which will prevent him from playing in Sunday's NFC North contest. The rookie fifth-rounder has contributed solely on special teams this season, but his absence means Jack Sanborn will be the top depth option at linebacker behind starters D'Marco Jackson, T.J. Edwards and Devin Bush. Elliott's next chance to play is Week 6 against the Falcons on Sunday, Oct. 18.

Woods (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Raiders.

The Patriots' secondary is already without starting outside corners Christian Gonzalez (shoulder) and Carlton Davis (neck), so having Woods available for Sunday's game would be a big help for New England. Woods has 18 tackles (14 solo) and one pass defense through four regular-season games.
