Nolen (calf) is questionable against the Lions on Sunday, Zach Gershman of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Nolen was limited by a calf injury in each of the last two practices of Week 5 prep. If he's inactive for Sunday's game, then Andrew Billings and L.J. Collier would both be in line for more defensive snaps alongside fellow DT Roy Lopez.

Taylor-Demerson (back) does not have an injury designation against the Lions on Sunday, Zach Gershman of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Taylor-Demerson was a full participant in Friday's practice, which was enough for him to fade an injury tag for Sunday's home contest. He missed the Cardinals' previous two games due to a back injury, and he could start next to Budda Baker at safety due to the absence of Andrew Wingard (knee).

Luvu (groin) does not have any injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Giants.

Luvu upgraded to a full participant in Friday's practice after being limited in the first two sessions of Week 5 prep. The linebacker is all set to suit up for Sunday's game and is likely in better shape than when he took the field in Week 4 against the Colts while battling through the groin issue.

Epps (groin) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Jaguars.

Epps will miss a second consecutive game due to a groin injury. His next chance to play is Week 6 against the Panthers on Sunday, Oct. 18, though he would need to practice in at least a limited capacity to have a realistic shot at returning against Carolina. Michael Carter should once again start next to Andrew Mukuba at safety in Epps' absence.

McNichols (quadriceps) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Giants.

The Commanders opened McNichols' 21-day practice window to return from IR on Wednesday. The running back logged limited practice throughout Week 5 prep and remains questionable for Sunday's game. The team still has over two weeks to ramp up the 30-year-old's practice participation before it must make a decision about his status for the remainder of the 2026 season.

Greenard (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's game against Jacksonville.

Greenard was held out of practice all week due to an ankle injury he sustained against the Rams in Week 4. Despite the lack of practice, the Eagles are still keeping the door open for Greenard to play Sunday, but if he's not cleared to suit up, then Jalyx Hunt, Arnold Ebiketie and A.J. Epenesa would all be in line for more defensive snaps.

Golston (neck) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Commanders.

Golston has not practiced after sustaining a serious neck injury in the Giants' Week 4 win over the Cardinals. While the defensive end recovers from the injury Darius Alexander or CJ Okoye will take over the starting snaps.

Campbell (knee) does not have an injury designation against the Jaguars on Sunday.

Campbell tweaked his knee during the Eagles' Week 4 loss to the Rams, but the second-year linebacker was able to log a full practice Friday, which was enough for him to fade an injury tag for Sunday's road game. Campbell has 37 tackles (24 solo), including 1.0 sacks, and one forced fumble through the first four games of the regular season.

Ya-Sin (hamstring) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

Ya-Sin has not practiced since he sustained a hamstring injury during the Lions' Week 4 loss to the Panthers. In the cornerback's absence, Khalil Dorsey or Keith Abney is set to be the primary backup at outside cornerback behind starters D.J. Reed and Ennis Rakestraw.

Baun (concussion) does not have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Jaguars.

Baun logged a full practice Friday and passed an evaluation from an independent neurologist, which is enough for the seventh-year pro to exit the NFL's concussion protocol and return from a one-game absence. His return means Jeremiah Trotter will likely revert to a rotational role at linebacker behind Baun and Jihaad Campbell.
