Scott Matlock RB | LAC
Chargers' Scott Matlock: Active versus Denver
Matlock (foot) is active for Sunday's game against the Broncos, Eric Smith of the team's official site reports.
Matlock was activated off injured reserve Saturday, so despite carrying a questionable designation, most assumed he would be back on the field after sitting out the first four games of the 2026 campaign.

Michael Taaffe SAF | MIA
Dolphins' Michael Taaffe: Questionable to return with chest issue
Taaffe (chest) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Bengals.
Taaffe exited the third quarter of Sunday's contest with a chest injury. The reserve strong safety's absence means that Julius Wood will have to fill in at strong safety if Dante Trader must leave the contest.

Brenton Strange TE | JAC
Jaguars' Brenton Strange: Another strong showing in Week 5
Strange caught seven of eight targets for 68 yards in Sunday's 19-17 win over the Eagles.
After breaking out for a 7-95-0 line last week, Strange tied that season high in catches, although for less yardage. The tight end is re-establishing himself as Trevor Lawrence's preferred safety valve, which should assure him a solid floor for volume. Strange will take a 21-235-1 line on 26 targets through five games into a Week 6 clash with the Texans.

Charlie Kolar TE | LAC
Chargers' Charlie Kolar: Returning in Week 5
Kolar (forearm) is active for Sunday's game against Denver, Eric Smith of the team's official site reports.
Kolar missed the last two games but will return despite practicing in a limited capacity during the week. With Kolar active in Week 5, Oronde Gadsden is expected to slide back to the No. 2 spot on the tight-end depth chart.

Tyrique Stevenson CB | CHI
Bears' Tyrique Stevenson: Unlikely to return
Stevenson (hamstring) is doubtful to return to Sunday's game against the Packers.
Stevenson appears to have aggravated the hamstring injury he took into Sunday's contest. The cornerback will likely not return to the contest due to the issue, leaving Clark Phillips and Josh Blackwell to fill in at outside cornerback opposite Jaylon Johnson.

Sam Ehlinger QB | DEN
Broncos' Sam Ehlinger: Emergency QB for Week 5
Ehlinger (coach's decision) is inactive but will serve as the emergency third quarterback in Sunday's game against the Chargers, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.
Ehlinger continues to fulfill the role of an additional depth option behind Bo Nix and Jarrett Stidham. Ehlinger will only enter the game if both Nix and Stidham are forced out of the contest.

Trevor Lawrence QB | JAC
Jaguars' Trevor Lawrence: Tosses two TDs in Week 5 win
Lawrence completed 24 of 39 passes for 331 yards and two touchdowns with one interception in Sunday's 19-17 win over the Eagles. He added 25 rushing yards on three carries and lost one of two fumbles.
Both TDs went to Parker Washington, a 51-yard catch-and-run in the first quarter and then a 27-yard score in the fourth on a spectacular one-handed grab by the wideout. It was the first time this season Lawrence had committed a fumble or committed multiple turnovers in a game, but he compensated with a season high in passing yards. Lawrence will take a 10:3 TD:INT through five contests into a Week 6 clash with the Texans.

Dayo Odeyingbo DE | CHI
Bears' Dayo Odeyingbo: Questionable to return against Packers
Odeyingbo (quadriceps) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against Green Bay.
Odeyingbo suffered a quad injury in the second half. If he doesn't return Sunday, Austin Booker and Daniel Hardy should see more snaps the rest of the way.
