Jackson (concussion) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Ravens.

Jackson logged limited sessions in both Thursday and Friday's practices, but was likely unable to clear the league's concussion protocol in time for Sunday's contest. With the starting slot corner absent Tavierre Thomas, Jay Ward, or Dwight McGlothern will have to step up for a tough matchup with a rallying Ravens squad.

Njoku's fellow tight end Harold Fannin (hamstring) is active for Sunday's game against the Jets, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Fannin missed practice Thursday but returned to a limited session Friday before being deemed 'questionable' for Sunday's contest. With his availablity confirmed, the Browns will have their top two tight ends available versus New York, a timeshare that has kept both players on the fantasy radar. In eight games, Fannin leads his team in catches (38) and receiving yards (352) on 51 targets, to go along with two touchdowns, while Njoku has recorded 27 catches for 260 yards (second on the Browns in both categories) on 41 targets, with a pair of TDs in seven contests.

Bresee (back) is active for Sunday's game against the Panthers.

A back injury limited Bresee's practice participation Thursday and Friday, but the third-year pro has been cleared to play Week 10 after going through pregame warmups. The 2023 first-rounder has accumulated 21 tackles (seven solo), including 1.5 sacks, three pass defenses and one forced fumble through nine regular-season games.

Bryant (shoulder) is active for Sunday's game against the Jaguars.

The 27-year-old received the questionable tag due to a shoulder injury, but his full practice Friday put him on track to be available for Sunday's divisional matchup. Bryant has just two catches for seven yards this year and should continue to operate as Houston's No. 2 tight end behind starter Dalton Schultz.

Lazard (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Browns.

While the Jets will make the newly acquired Adonai Mitchell a healthy inactive for Week 10 as he gets up to speed with a new playbook, the return of top wideout Garrett Wilson (knee) from a two-game absence will leave no room in the receiver corps for Lazard on Sunday. Unless injuries to other wideouts on the roster chip away at New York's depth, the veteran Lazard could find himself as a regular on the inactive list in the second half of the season as the 1-7 Jets play out the string and open up more opportunities for their younger receivers.

Stoll (ankle) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Panthers.

Stoll will miss his first game of the regular season due to a high ankle sprain he suffered in Week 9 against the Packers. The Saints are on a bye Week 11, so he'll have additional time to rest and recover ahead of New Orleans' Week 12 clash against Atlanta on Sunday, Nov. 23. Zaire Mitchell-Paden will serve as the Saints' TE4 behind Juwan Johnson, Foster Moreau and Taysom Hill due to Stoll's absence.

Kiner (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Ravens.

Kiner was elevated to the active roster Saturday for the scenario in which starting running back Aaron Jones (shoulder/toe) was unable to suit up. With Jones active for Sunday's contest, Kiner ends up a healthy scratch against the Ravens.

Wright is active for Sunday's game against the Bills, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Wright has been a healthy scratch for most of the season, but he'll suit up Sunday -- marking his third time garnering active status on the campaign. The move likely comes as insurance for Ollie Gordon, who is active Sunday but has been limited in practice throughout the week by an ankle injury. Wright isn't likely to see much opportunity so long as both De'Von Achane and Gordon remain healthy.

Ewers (coach's decision) is inactive but will serve as Miami's emergency third quarterback against Buffalo on Sunday.

For a third straight game, Ewers will serve as the Dolphins' emergency third quarterback, which means he is not permitted to play Sunday unless both Tua Tagovailoa and Zach Wilson leave the game due to injury, illness or ejection.

Johnson (groin) is inactive for Sunday's matchup with the Dolphins.

The slot corner missed last Sunday's win over the Chiefs with the same injury. In his absence, Cam Lewis stepped forward and played all 59 defensive snaps.
