McConkey (foot) isn't expected to play Sunday versus the Broncos, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

McConkey aggravated a foot injury in the third quarter of last Sunday's loss at Seattle and didn't log any on-field work in the meantime, but the Chargers still gave him a chance to suit up in Week 5 by tagging him as questionable. Despite the listing, he's likely to be included among the team's inactives once the list is posted about 90 minutes before a 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff. With fellow WRs Quentin Johnston (chest) and Brenen Thompson (quadriceps) already ruled out, Tre' Harris is expected to be L.A.'s top pass catcher Sunday, with Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Derius Davis and Theo Wease on hand for targets at the position.

Kamara (back) is expected to play in Sunday's contest against the Vikings, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Kamara sat out Week 1 due to a sprained MCL and then proceeded to suit up the last three games before a back issue threatened his availability for Week 5. He followed up a DNP at Wednesday's walkthrough with limited sessions Thursday and Friday before heading into the weekend listed as questionable. Kamara's status will be clarified about 90 minutes before Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff, and if he's active as anticipated, he'll continue to take on a modest workload out of the Saints backfield, which so far has equated to 36 touches for 121 yards from scrimmage and two rushing TDs this season.

Stevenson (knee) is expected to play in Sunday's game versus the Raiders, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

After coach Mike Vrabel told Taylor Kyles of CLNSMedia.com on Wednesday that Stevenson wouldn't practice due to a leg injury to kick off Week 5 prep, the running back wound up being limited and maintained that activity level through Friday with a listed knee injury. A questionable tag for Sunday followed, but per Rapoport, Stevenson is poised to play through the issue. What that means for the workloads of Stevenson and fellow RB TreVeyon Henderson remains to be seen.

Dowdle (toe) is unlikely to play in Sunday's game against the Colts, but the Steelers will make a final decision after pregame warmups, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

While Dowdle was listed as limited during the entirety of Week 5 prep and went into the weekend as questionable to play, he appears destined to miss a third consecutive contest due to a lingering toe injury. If Dowdle is indeed inactive when the Steelers post their list approximately 90 minutes before a 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff, Jaylen Warren again will handle a workhorse role out of the backfield.

Jeanty (ankle/foot) is hopeful to play Sunday at New England, but he'll go through a pregame workout before a final determination is made, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Jeanty opened Week 5 prep with a full practice and listed with only an ankle injury, but a foot issue was added Thursday when he was limited, and he capped the week Friday with no activity before going down as questionable to play. Rapoport reports that Jeanty is dealing with a flareup of plantar fasciitis, and how he feels following on-field work Sunday morning will determine his active or inactive status about 90 minutes before a 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff. Mike Washington is on hand for an expanded role if Jeanty is inhibited or sidelined.

The Jaguars waived Braswell (knee) from injured reserve with an injury settlement Saturday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

The settlement allows Braswell to sign with a team once he's fully recovered from a knee injury, though he could opt to return to Jacksonville on the practice squad. He has 19 tackles (12 solo) and three pass defenses across 26 regular-season games since being selected by the Jaguars in the sixth round of the 2023 NFL Draft.

The Cardinals placed Adams (ankle) on injured reserve Saturday, Darren Urban of the team's official site reports.

It's another blow to the Cardinals' offensive line, as Adams' placement on IR comes less than a week after the Paris Johnson was ruled out for the rest of the season due to a torn left biceps. Adams will be required to miss at least four games, so his next chance to play is Week 9 against the Seahawks on Sunday, Nov. 8. Jon Gaines will start at right guard in Adams' absence.

The Vikings activated Jurgens (elbow) from injured reserve Saturday, Craig Peters of the team's official site reports.

Jurgens is still questionable for Sunday's game against the Saints. However, his activation indicates that he has fully recovered from an elbow injury that caused him to open the regular season on injured reserve. Jurgens' return would bolster the Vikings' depth on the offensive line.

Styles (calf) was activated from the Saints' injured reserve Saturday.

Even though Styles is still listed as questionable, his removal from injured reserve indicates that the rookie fifth-rounder will make his NFL debut against the Vikings on Sunday. Styles was placed on injured reserve Sept. 1 due to a calf injury that he sustained in a preseason game against the Rams in late August.

The Saints activated Ford (ankle) from injured reserve Saturday.

Ford is still listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Vikings, but his removal on IR is a positive sign that he'll be available to play. He opened the regular season on injured reserve due to an ankle injury that he sustained during training camp.
