McDonald (calf) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Browns, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.

McDonald was a new addition to the Jets' Friday injury report with a calf injury. The defensive end managed to log limited participation despite the new injury, but it is unclear if the injury is minor enough to play through on game day. If McDonald cannot suit up for Sunday's contest, Nate Lynn will join Joseph Ossai as a rotational defensive end behind starters Kingsley Enagbare (knee) and David Bailey.

Hargrave (toe) is listed as questionable against the Bears on Sunday, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

The toe injury appears to be a new one for Hargrave, who popped up on Friday's injury report as a limited practice participant. His official status may not be known until the Packers announce their list of inactive players approximately 90 minutes before the 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff. Jonathan Ford and rookie third-rounder Chris McClellan would both operate in elevated roles if Hargrave is unable to play.

Van Ness (shoulder) does not have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Bears, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

Van Ness was able to shed the injury tag for Week 5 despite being a limited participant in all three practice sessions. The fourth-year pro has 22 tackles (14 solo), including 2.5 sacks, through the first four games of the 2026 season.

Enagbare (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Browns, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.

Enagbare logged consecutive limited practices to start the Jets' Week 5 prep before upgrading to a full participant in Friday's session. The defensive end's upgrade in participation is a strong sign that he will be able to suit up for Sunday's contest. If Engagbare needs another week to recover, Joseph Ossai should see more defensive reps as he did in Week 4 against the Bears

The Eagles signed Steele off the practice squad to the active roster Friday.

Saquon Barkley (hamstring) is considered week-to-week and Tank Bigsby (abdomen) is on injured reserve, so the Eagles added depth to their backfield by signing Steele to the 53-man roster. Steele and Dameon Pierce will operate in rotational roles behind Will Shipley, who will operate as the Eagles' RB1 against the Jaguars on Sunday.

Tomlinson (hamstring) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Broncos.

A hamstring injury has sidelined Tomlinson for the Chargers' last two games, but he avoided an injury tag for Sunday's AFC West tilt after logging a full practice Friday. He'll solidify the Chargers' depth on the defensive line behind Jamaree Caldwell, Teair Tart and Justin Eboigbe.

Brownlee (concussion) does not have any injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Browns, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.

Brownlee upgraded his practice participation in each Week 5 prep session, going from a DNP on Wednesday to a full participant Friday. The cornerback has cleared the NFL's five-step concussion protocol and is all set to suit up for Sunday's contest.

Gabriel (back) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Jets, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.

Gabriel logged full participation in every practice session during the Browns' Week 5 prep. The quarterback remains on injured reserve due to a back injury, and it appears the team will milk the 21-day practice window until it expires. By keeping the backup quarterback on IR, the Browns save another roster spot for additional players at other positions.

Thompson (quadriceps) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Broncos.

Thompson opened Week 5 prep with a limited practice Wednesday, but he followed that up with back-to-back DNPs and will miss a third consecutive game due to a quadriceps injury. Quentin Johnston (chest) has also been ruled out, and with Ladd McConkey (foot) listed as questionable, the Chargers will lean more heavily on Tre' Harris, Marquez Valdes-Scantling and Derius Davis at wide receiver.

Wallace (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Jets, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.

Wallace has not practiced since sustaining a knee injury in the Browns' Week 3 win over the Panthers. The wide receiver will now miss consecutive games due to the issue, again leaving Malachi Corley as the No. 5 option for the Browns' offense.
