Christensen was carted off the field due to an ankle injury and is doubtful to return to Sunday's game against the Bills, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

Tonga (knee) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Browns, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.

Tonga exited the second half with a knee injury and is questionable to return. The Patriots do not have another active nose tackle and will likely turn to Milton Williams alongside their other defensive ends to make an impact on the defensive line.

Winters (knee) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Texans.

Winters sustained a knee injury early in the third quarter, which has been deemed severe enough for him to not return to Sunday's contest. Nick Martin and Curtis Robinson are in line to see more defensive snaps at linebacker the rest of the way in Winters' absence.

Bates suffered an ankle injury Sunday versus Miami and has been ruled out for the remainder of the contest, Josh Kendall of The Athletic reports.

Bates was ruled out early in the fourth quarter. Prior to his exit, he tallied six tackles (two solo). DeMarcco Hellams and/or Jordan Fuller could log more snaps at safety in Bates' stead.

Elliott (ankle) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Texans, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Elliott will not return to Sunday's game after sustaining an ankle injury during the third quarter. Alfred Collins and Kevin Givens are in line for more snaps at defensive tackle the rest of the way in Elliott's absence.

Campbell (head) has been ruled out of Sunday's contest against the Patriots.

Campbell went to the locker room to be evaluated for a potential concussion and has been officially ruled out of the game with a head injury. Dom Jones has been playing cornerback snaps in Campbell's absence and will likely finish the game.

Judkins (shoulder) won't return to Sunday's game against the Patriots.

Prior to sustaining his shoulder injury, Judkins carried nine times for 19 yards and caught all three of his targets for minus-2 yards. In Judkins' absence, Jerome Ford and Dylan Sampson are available to handle the Browns' backfield duties. Judkins' next chance to see game action will arrive Sunday, Nov. 9 against the Jets following Cleveland's Week 9 bye.

Wallace (head) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Bills, Sheena Quick of Fox Sports Radio 1340 reports.

Wallace went to the locker room to be evaluated for a concussion after taking a hit to the head. Medical staff have ruled Wallace out for the rest of Sunday's game, but it isn't clear whether he's entered the league's concussion protocol. Claudin Cherelus and Bam Martin-Scott are candidates to see more snaps at inside linebacker in Wallace's absence.

Bellinger suffered a neck injury during Sunday's contest in Philadelphia, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Bellinger combined for seven catches (on 10 targets) for 140 yards and one touchdown in New York's three games prior to Sunday, and he exited Week 8 action having hauled in his only target for 21 yards. As long as Bellinger is sidelined, Theo Johnson will take on a larger role among Giants tight ends.
