Landman (shoulder) was a limited participant in Friday's practice, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.

Landman was held out of Thursday's practice due to a shoulder injury, but he was back on the field Friday in a limited capacity. A full practice Saturday would probably be enough for him to avoid an injury tag for Monday's interconference game against the Bills.

Williams (ankle) does not have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the 49ers, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.

Williams was a full practice participant Friday, which was enough for the veteran defensive lineman to fade an injury tag after working through an ankle issue all week. He has 13 tackles (nine solo), including 3.0 sacks, through the first four games of the regular season.

Neal (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the 49ers, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.

Neal popped up on Thursday's injury report as a limited practice participant due to a hamstring issue. He was downgraded to a DNP on Friday and will not suit up for Sunday's NFC West tilt. His absence means one less regular contributor on special teams and less depth in the Seahawks' secondary, and his next chance to play is Week 6 against the Broncos on Thursday.

Amos (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Giants.

The Commanders opened Amos' 21-day practice window ahead of Wednesday's session. The cornerback was a limited participant in all three practices as he works back from his ankle injury. There is a chance the 24-year-old could return to the active roster for the Week 5 matchup with the Giants, but it would not be surprising if the team held off on returning Amos to the active roster until at least Week 6.

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

Cross was a full participant in Wednesday's practice but downgraded to limited for the Thursday and Friday sessions. The safety appears to have contracted a significant illness and will be unable to suit up for Sunday's game. Quan Martin is the sole active safety for Week 5 outside of starting free safety Jeremy Reaves.

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.
