Watson (Achilles) accompanied the Browns to Las Vegas for Sunday's game against the Raiders, marking the first time he's joined the team on the road this season, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Watson will be on the sideline to serve as a resource to rookie Shedeur Sanders, who will be making his first NFL start Sunday. The 30-year-old's presence in Las Vegas is also a sign that he's making progress in his recovery from the right Achilles tendon he re-ruptured back in January, requiring a second surgery in less than three months. The Browns haven't offered up any specifics regarding where Watson stands in his rehab program, but he's posted multiple videos on social media in recent weeks that appear to show him dropping back on snaps and throwing without being compromised by the Achilles injury. Cleveland could open Watson's 21-day practice window at any time, though the organization may prefer to wait until OTAs in the spring to clear the veteran signal-caller for on-field work. Watson will be entering the final season of a five-year, $230 million fully guaranteed contract in 2026.

Glasgow (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Giants.

Glasgow was estimated as limited for Wednesday's walkthrough and then was limited at Thursday's practice, though he appears good to go for Sunday. The veteran has started all 10 of Detroit's games this season.

Decker (shoulder) is active for Sunday's matchup with the Giants.

The starting left tackle has been dealing with the issue throughout the season, and he was considered a non-participant in Wednesday's walkthrough this past week. Decker practiced on a limited basis the next day and appears good to go for Sunday. He has started all eight games he's played in this season.

Sewell (ankle) is active for Sunday's game against the Giants.

The starting right tackle played through an ankle injury last week against the Eagles and was limited in practice to end the week leading up to this game. Sewell has started all 10 of Detroit's games this season.

Levin (neck) is active for Sunday's game against the Seahawks.

Levin popped up on Thursday's practice report as a limited participant due to a neck injury. His practice reps were limited again Friday, but the veteran offensive lineman has done enough in pregame warmups to be cleared to play Sunday.

Brooks (ankle) is active for Sunday's game against the Vikings, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.

The defensive tackle entered the day with a questionable tag but appears healthy enough to play. Brooks has played on more than half the defensive snaps in all 10 of Green Bay's games this season. He has 17 tackles (four solo), including 0.5 sacks, and a pass breakup on the year.

Zabel (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Titans.

Zabel spent Week 12 prep managing a knee injury he sustained during the Seahawks' Week 11 loss to the Rams. The rookie first-rounder has done enough in pregame warmups to be cleared to play Sunday and will start at left guard.

Suamataia (concussion) is active for Sunday's game against the Colts, Matt McMullen of the Chiefs' official site reports.

Suamataia entered the league's concussion protocol during the Chiefs' Week 11 loss to the Broncos. He's been cleared of the protocol by an independent neurologist and will reclaim his starting job at left guard from Mike Caliendo.

Banks (hip) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Lions, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Banks popped up on Thursday's practice report as a limited participant due to a hip injury. He was unable to practice Friday, and the injury is severe enough for the third-year corner to miss his first game of the regular season. Dru Phillips is slated to see more snaps in the secondary Sunday in Banks' absence.

Van Ness (foot) is active for Sunday's matchup with the Vikings, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.

The edge rusher entered the day with a questionable tag after practicing on a limited basis throughout the week. Van Ness last played in Week 6, though he was on the field for 45 percent of the defensive snaps or more in each of Green Bay's first four games of 2025. His usage may not match that number in his first game back.
