Hendrickson (hip) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Jets.

Hendrickson limped to the locker room during halftime of Sunday's contest against the Jets after he appeared to reaggravate a hip injury that kept him out in Week 7. Charlie Goldsmith of the Dayton Daily News added during halftime that the 30-year-old was struggling to walk on his own power. With the nine-year pro out, Myles Murphy is set for additional snaps. Hendrickson has totaled 15 tackles (10 solo), including 4.0 sacks, so far this season.

Lewis (groin) won't dress for Sunday's game against the Titans.

After leaving during the first half of last week's game against the Chargers, Lewis will miss his first game of the season Sunday. The eight-year veteran didn't participate in practice all week. He has 3.0 sacks on the year, which is one shy of his career high.

Kneeland (ankle) is active for Sunday's game against the Broncos.

An ankle injury prevented Kneeland from playing against the Commanders in Week 7. He earned the questionable tag for Week 8 after logging a full practice Friday, and he has been given the green light to play Sunday after going through pregame warmups. Kneeland's return means there will be less rotational snaps at defensive end for the likes of Jadeveon Clowney, James Houston and Donovan Ezeiruaku.

Johnson is set to work as the Buccaneers' No. 3 receiver and likely see an increase in snap count and targets during Sunday's Week 8 matchup against the Saints due to the absences of Mike Evans (IR, collarbone/concussion) and Chris Godwin (fibula), Scott Smith of the team's official site reports.

The rookie has already been making his mark in the Buccaneers' offense in recent games, recording his first pair of NFL touchdowns and two four-catch tallies in his last three contests. Johnson logged a career-high nine targets in the Week 7 loss to the Lions on Monday night as part of the ripple effect of Evans' early exit and Godwin's absence, and with the same conditions at play Sunday, the Oregon product could capitalize.

Giddens is inactive for Sunday's game against the Titans.

With Giddens the odd man out in the Colts' Week 8 backfield, Ameer Abdullah and Tyler Goodson (in his return from a groin injury) are available to work behind Jonathan Taylor versus Tennessee.

Moton (knee) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's contest against the Bills, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

Moton did not return to the game at the start of the third quarter, replaced by Yosh Nijman at right tackle. The Panthers are now down to just one active reserve offensive lineman, Jake Curhan. Between backup center Austin Corbett and Nijman, the Panthers' line will have to dig deep to counter a Bills defense that just got Michael Hoecht and Larry Ogunjobi back from suspension.

Mingo (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game in Denver.

After the Cowboys activated Mingo from injured reserve Tuesday, Mingo was a full practice participant Wednesday through Friday and entered the weekend without a designation. However, his season debut will be delayed at least one week, perhaps to give him a bit more time to complete his recovery from the PCL sprain that he suffered in his right knee in preseason Week 2. Mingo's next chance for game action is Monday, Nov. 3 against the Cardinals.

Woods (ankle) is active for Sunday's game against the Colts.

Woods was given the questionable tag for Week 8 after being limited in practice due to an ankle injury. He's been cleared to play after going through pregame warmups and will start at safety alongside Amani Hooker for Sunday's AFC South tilt.

Key (quadriceps) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Colts.

Key will miss a third consecutive game due to a quadriceps injury he sustained in Week 5 against the Cardinals. Jihad Ward and Jaylen Harrell will continue to see more snaps at outside linebacker in Key's absence. Key's next opportunity to play is Week 9 against the Chargers on Sunday, Nov. 2.

Risner (illness) is doubtful to play in Sunday's game against the Jets, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.

Risner was added to Sunday's injury report for being under the weather. He was cleared to play after going through pregame warmups, but it appears he's unlikely to see the field unless the Bengals are in desperate need of help on the offensive line.
