Packers' Devonte Wyatt: On track to play Sunday
Wyatt (ankle) does not carry an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game at Minnesota, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.
Wyatt was a limited participant at practice all week because of an issue with his ankle, but it looks like he'll be available in Week 1 anyway. Green Bay will be relying heavily on him to create disruption at the line of scrimmage in 2026, especially until Micah Parsons (knee) is back on the field.

Xavier Woods FS | CHI
Bears' Xavier Woods: Listed questionable for Week 1
Woods (groin) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Panthers.
Woods wasn't listed on the injury report Wednesday but was added to it Thursday, getting in back-to-back limited sessions to end the week. Elijah Hicks and Skyler Thomas would be in line for elevated snaps on defense if Woods is unable to play.

Joey Porter Jr. CB | PIT
Steelers' Joey Porter: Questionable with back issue
Porter (back) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Falcons, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.
Porter was a limited participant in all three practices this week. The cornerback was unable to ramp up to full practice as the Steelers hoped, which may be telling about the 2023 second-rounder's status for Sunday's game. Porter has also express frustration about not yet reaching terms on a contract extension with Pittsburgh, which could be a factor in whether he ultimately plays as well.

Tyson Bagent QB | CHI
Bears' Tyson Bagent: Questionable for Week 1
Bagent (back) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Panthers.
Bagent missed practice all week, though it's unclear when he suffered the injury after completing 16 of 17 passes for 208 yards and a pair of touchdowns in the preseason finale two weeks back. If Bagent is unable to dress as the QB2, Case Keenum would back up Caleb Williams.

Javon Hargrave NT | GB
Packers' Javon Hargrave: Will suit up Sunday
Hargrave (knee) does not carry an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game at Minnesota, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.
Hargrave was limited at practice all week by a knee issue, but it won't keep him off the field in Week 1. To the extent that the veteran's stamina and health allows, he figures to see plenty of work on Green Bay's defensive line in 2026.

Rueben Bain Jr. LB | TB
Buccaneers' Rueben Bain: Cleared to make NFL debut
Bain (shoulder) does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's regular-season opener against Cincinnati.
Bain, whom the Buccaneers selected with the 15th overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, opened Week 1 prep as a limited participant in Wednesday's practice due to an AC joint sprain in his right shoulder. However, he practiced without restrictions Thursday and Friday, which was enough for him to shed the injury designation and look toward making his NFL regular-season debut Sunday. Bain and Yaya Diaby are projected to be the Buccaneers' starting edge rushers, with Al-Quadin Muhammad, Anthony Nelson and David Walker all working in rotation.

Jakobe Thomas SAF | MIN
Vikings' Jakobe Thomas: Looking good for Sunday
Thomas (illness) does not carry an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game versus the Packers, Craig Peters of the Vikings' official site reports.
Thomas missed some practice earlier in the week due to an illness, but he was a full participant Friday and should be available in Week 1. Exactly how much playing time he'll get, if any, is still up in the air.

Harrison Smith FS | MIN
Vikings' Harrison Smith: Set to play Sunday
Smith is set to suit up Sunday, but his role has not yet been decided, Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com reports.
Smith was a limited participant in Friday's practice as the safety rested and recovered from the conditioning he has been regularly performing since signing with the team Sept. 5. The 37-year-old defensive back's role Sunday will likely be limited as the team eases him back into action.
-
Christian Rozeboom LB | TB
Buccaneers' Christian Rozeboom: Questionable for Week 1
Rozeboom (foot) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bengals.
Rozeboom was a limited participant in all three practices this past week due to a foot injury. He's demonstrated durability over the past four years, playing in all but two regular-season games in that span, but his status for Week 1 may not be known until the Buccaneers release their list of inactive players approximately 90 minutes before the 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff. If Rozeboom doesn't play, SirVocea Dennis would be the top depth option at inside linebacker behind Alex Anzalone and rookie second-rounder Josiah Trotter.

Audric Estime RB | NO
Saints' Audric Estime: Ruled out versus Detroit
Estime (thigh) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Lions.
It's unclear when Estime suffered the thigh injury, but he didn't practice at all this week after leading the Saints in rushing in the preseason finale two weeks ago. If Alvin Kamara (knee) is unable to go against Detroit, Kendre Miller would serve as the RB2 behind Travis Etienne.
