  • Brian O'Neill OT | MIN

    Vikings' Brian O'Neill: Expected to return Sunday

    O'Neill, who is questionable to play against the Lions on Sunday due to a knee injury, is likely to suit up, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    O'Neill has been dealing with a knee issue since late September. He's sat out two contests due to the issue, including last Thursday's game against the Chargers, but it appears he'll be back to play against Detroit on Sunday. O'Neill should take on his usual starting role at right tackle.

  • Vikings' Christian Darrisaw: Slated to suit up Sunday

    Darrisaw (knee), who is listed as questionable to play Sunday against Detroit, is expected to suit up, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Darrisaw aggravated a lingering knee injury last Thursday's loss to the Chargers. During Week 9 prep, Darrisaw opened as a full practice participant Wednesday before sitting out Thursday's session entirely and then returning to the field Friday as a limited participant. He appears to have displayed enough progress for the Vikings to sign off on him playing this weekend, though his availability won't be confirmed until the team releases its inactive list 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff.

  • Cooper Kupp WR | SEA

    Seahawks' Cooper Kupp: Likely to sit out Week 9

    Kupp (heel/hamstring), who is officially questionable to play Sunday versus Washington, is not expected to play, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Coming out of a Week 8 bye, Kupp first appeared on the injury report Wednesday due to a heel injury, and he was then listed with an additional hamstring issue Thursday. After not practicing Friday, he entered the weekend deemed questionable, and he looks to be trending toward missing his first game of the season. With Kupp on track to sit out, rookie Tory Horton will likely move into the No. 2 wideout role behind Jaxon Smith-Njigba for Seattle. With depth wideouts Jake Bobo (Achilles) and Dareke Young (quadriceps) already ruled out, the Seahawks elevated Cody White and Ricky White from their practice squad to round out the position group.

  • Rashid Shaheed WR | SEA

    Saints' Rashid Shaheed: Expected to play in Week 9

    Shaheed, who is questionable to play against the Rams on Sunday due to a hip injury, is likely to suit up, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Shaheed logged season-high marks with nine catches and 12 targets last Sunday against Tampa Bay but also suffered a hip injury. He logged a trio of limited practices this week, which appears to be enough for him to play Sunday. Shaheed will thus likely work in his usual No. 2 wideout role behind Chris Olave.

  • Alvin Kamara RB | NO

    Saints' Alvin Kamara: In line to suit up Sunday

    Kamara (ankle), who is questionable for Sunday's Week 9 matchup against the Rams, is expected to play, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Kamara again dealt with an ankle injury throughout the week and logged a trio of limited practices. Saints coach Kellen Moore said Friday that the star running back was trending in the right direction, and it now appears likely that Kamara will suit up. However, he logged a season-low 51 percent snap share last Sunday while managing the same nagging ankle issue, so it remains to be seen if he'll have a full workload even if he does play.

  • Dalton Schultz TE | HOU

    Texans' Dalton Schultz: Expected to play Sunday

    Schultz (knee), who is questionable to suit up Sunday against Denver, is expected to play, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Schultz logged a DNP/DNP/FP practice progression during the week, which has set him up to likely play against the Broncos. He'll look to rebound after posting season-low totals of two catches and 24 receiving yards against San Francisco in Week 8.

  • Marcus Epps SAF | PHI

    Eagles' Marcus Epps: Lands on IR

    Epps (undisclosed) was placed on injured reserve Saturday.

    Epps has appeared in all eight of Philadelphia's games this season, so it's unclear how or when he picked up this injury. He won't be able to return until at least Week 14.

  • Azeez Ojulari LB | ATL

    Eagles' Azeez Ojulari: Placed on IR

    Ojulari (hamstring) was placed on injured reserve Saturday.

    Ojulari was a healthy scratch to begin the season and then suffered a hamstring injury in Week 7. He missed Week 8 with the issue and will now be sidelined until at least Week 14.

  • Tyler Smith G | DAL

    Cowboys' Tyler Smith: Good to go

    Smith (knee) does not carry an injury designation into Monday's game against the Cardinals, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.

    Smith logged a full practice Friday and is good to go for Monday's contest. The offensive lineman has been playing through a knee injury for multiple weeks and is finally free of the designation, signaling he is close to 100 percent for game day.

  • Ben Bartch OT | DET

    49ers' Ben Bartch: Ruled out for Week 9

    Bartch (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Giants.

    Bartch has been on injured reserve since Week 3 and returned to practice Wednesday. He logged limited sessions throughout the week but will have to wait until at least Week 10 for a potential return.
