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.

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.

Turner (hamstring) does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's game versus Tampa Bay.

Turner was a limited participant at practice again Friday, but it looks like he'll be okay to suit up in Week 1 anyway. He projects for a huge role in Cincinnati's secondary in 2026, the final year of his rookie contract.

Delp (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Lions.

Delp didn't practice at all this week after initially suffering the injury last month. The third-round rookie will have to wait to make his regular-season debut. Juwan Johnson and Noah Fant will handle tight-end duties for New Orleans.

Smith (shoulder) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Steelers, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

Smith is dealing with a shoulder injury but was able to practice in full Friday, and he has a chance of suiting up in Week 1. However, if Smith can't play, the Falcons will need to lean on depth during Sunday's contest, and Cameron Thomas and Jared Ivey would likely see an increased snap share opposite Samson Ebukam.

Bowman (Achilles) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Steelers, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

Bowman is still being limited in practice as he recovers from the Achilles tear he sustained in November. The safety is not quite ready to get back on the field, but if he keeps stringing together practices, he may be able to suit up for the Falcons' Week 2 showdown with the Panthers.

Strand will serve as the Falcons' backup quarterback behind Cooper Rush for Sunday's game against the Steelers, Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com reports.

The Falcons chose to carry four quarterbacks on the 53-man roster, and that looks to have been a savvy move after Tua Tagovailoa was ruled out for Week 1 due to an oblique injury he sustained in Thursday's practice. With Michael Penix (knee) also sidelined, the Falcons will turn to the veteran Rush to start under center while Strand -- an undrafted rookie out of Minnesota State-Moorhead -- operates as the QB2. Strand played in all three of the Falcons' preseason games, completing 24 of 36 passes for 306 yards, one touchdown and one interception while turning 17 carries into 29 yards and two scores.

Coach Todd Monken said Friday that he has not decided whether Green will have a package of plays for Sunday's game against the Jaguars, Daryl Ruiter of 92.3 The Fan Cleveland reports.

If Green is written into the Browns' offensive game plan for Week 1, it would likely suggest he is second in line at quarterback behind veteran Deshaun Watson. If 2025 fifth-rounder Shedeur Sanders ends up with that role instead, Green's path to playing time gets harder to envision. If and when Green does get on the field, his size and speed (6-foot-6, 230 pounds, 4.36 40-yard dash) would certainly compel a defense to pay close attention.

Madubuike (neck) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Colts, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

Madubuike logged a limited practice session all three days this week. The defensive tackle is close to returning from a severe neck injury he suffered last September but will need to be fully cleared before he can return to the field. With the 28-year-old unable to suit up, Aeneas Peebles will likely draw the start at tackle next to Travis Jones and Calais Campbell on Sunday.

Ponds (calf) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against Tennessee, Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic reports.

Toward the end of training camp, there was optimism that Ponds would make his NFL regular-season debut against Tennessee. The rookie second-rounder was a limited participant in all three practices this week, but the doubtful tag indicates that he's likely not quite ready to return from a calf injury that he sustained in late July. If Ponds is ruled out for Week 1, the Jets would lose a special-teams asset and depth in the secondary behind starting corners Brandon Stephens, Jarvis Brownlee and Nahshon Wright.
