Darrell Baker Jr. CB | MIA
Titans' Darrell Baker: Clears concussion protocol
Baker (concussion) does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Chargers.
Baker was a full participant in each of the last two practices of the week, and his lack of an injury designation indicates that he has cleared the league's five-step concussion protocol ahead of Sunday's game. Baker should have a larger role in the Titans' secondary following Roger McCreary's trade to the Rams on Monday.

Vikings' Brian O'Neill: Iffy for Week 9
O'Neill (knee) is listed as questionable questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Lions.
O'Neill was out for Minnesota's Week 8 loss to the Chargers and has been dealing with a knee sprain since Week 4.

Jake Matthews OT | ATL
Falcons' Jake Matthews: Good to go for Week 9
Matthews (ankle) does not have an injury designation for Sunday's matchup against New England, Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com reports.
Matthews has been dealing with an ankle injury since Week 6, but it hasn't yet caused him to miss any contests. Despite finishing this week with a pair of limited practices, he's set to serve in his usual role as Atlanta's starting left tackle Sunday.

49ers' Jordan Elliott: Not traveling with team
Elliott (ankle), who is questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Giants, is not traveling with the 49ers to New York on Friday due to personal reasons, Vic Tafur of The Athletic reports.
Elliott didn't practice Friday after logging a pair of limited practices to begin the week, though it's not clear if his absence Friday was due to the personal issue. He remains questionable for Sunday's contest, so he could join the team sometime before that matchup. If Elliott is unable to play, Kevin Givens or Alfred Collins could draw a start.

Dominique Robinson DE | HOU
Bears' Dominique Robinson: Ruled out for Week 9
Robinson (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bengals.
Robinson's absence comes as no surprise, as the fourth-year pro is working through a high-ankle sprain that he sustained in Week 8 against the Ravens and is a candidate for injured reserve. Daniel Hardy and Austin Booker will serve as the Bears' rotational defensive ends behind Dayo Odeyingbo and Montez Sweat in Robinson's absence.

Jaguars' Eric Murray: Lands on IR
The Jaguars placed Murray (neck) on injured reserve Friday.
Murray, who has been bothered by a neck injury for a while, hurt his neck again versus the Rams in Week 7. He didn't practice at all this week and will now need to miss at least four games while on IR. Rookie Rayuan Lane could see more opportunities on defense while Murray is sidelined.

Jaguars' Austin Trammell: Signed to active roster
The Jaguars signed Trammell to the active roster from the practice squad Friday.
Trammell has spent all season with the Jacksonville practice squad and was elevated once, though he has yet to see game action. He'll likely serve primarily as a special-teamer while taking the roster spot of Travis Hunter (knee).
