  • Commanders' Chig Okonkwo: Fades injury tag for Week 5

    Okonkwo (hamstring) does not carry an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Giants.

    Okonkwo logged a full practice Friday, which was enough for the fifth-year tight end to avoid an injury tag for Sunday's NFC East showdown. Veteran wide receiver Stefon Diggs (hamstring) has been ruled out for Week 5 while Terry McLaurin (hamstring) is listed as questionable, so Okonkwo's scoring floor could be further heightened if McLaurin is unable to suit up, especially with Jayden Daniels (left elbow) back under center.

  • Colbie Young WR | CIN

    Bengals' Colbie Young: Draws questionable tag vs. Miami

    Young (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Dolphins, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.

    A knee injury prevented the rookie fourth-rounder from playing against the Jaguars in Week 4, a game that saw both star wideouts Ja'Marr Chase (concussion) and Tee HIggins (groin) sustain injuries. Chase and Higgins were both full participants in Friday's practice and are also listed as questionable, so if Young is cleared to play against Miami, then he would be in line for a larger workload if one or both of Chase and Higgins cannot suit up.

  • Chris Bell WR | MIA

    Dolphins' Chris Bell: Cleared to play against Cincinnati

    Bell (knee) does not have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Bengals, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.

    Bell has played through a knee issue over the Dolphins' last couple of games, and the rookie third-rounder will do so again Sunday after logging a full practice session Friday. He was unable to haul in any of his three targets during Miami's Week 4 loss to Minnesota, but he could see more targets from Malik Willis on Sunday due to the absence of fellow rookie Caleb Douglas (ankle).

  • Tank Dell WR | HOU

    Texans' Tank Dell: Won't return for Week 5

    Dell (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Titans.

    Dell's 21-day practice window to return from injured reserve opened Wednesday, and the fourth-year wideout logged back-to-back limited practices before not participating in Friday's session. He's in the final stages of his recovery from a severe left knee injury that he sustained in late December of 2024, and while he won't return for Week 5, his next chance to do so is Week 6 against the Jaguars on Sunday, Oct. 18.

  • Jeremiyah Love RB | ARI

    Cardinals' Jeremiyah Love: Set to play Sunday

    Love (ankle) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's contest versus the Lions, Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic reports.

    Love emerged from Week 4 action with an ankle injury that limited him at practice Wednesday and Thursday, but he didn't have any restrictions at Friday's session before getting the all clear for Week 5. He touched on his health afterward, telling Tyler Drake of ArizonaSports.com that he's feeling "really, really good this week" and that he "found a way I really want to do things just consulting with the training staff and throughout my outside stuff." On Sunday, Love will look to build upon the 259 yards from scrimmage and two total TDs on 66 touches that he's racked up through the first four games of his career.

  • Darius Slayton WR | IND

    Colts' Darius Slayton: Nursing knee injury, iffy for Week 5

    Slayton (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Steelers.

    Slayton showed up on Friday's injury report as a limited practice participant, and his new knee injury puts him in jeopardy of missing Sunday's road game in what would be his Colts debut if he was cleared to play. Ashton Dulin (hamstring) has been ruled out and Keenan Allen (groin) is also listed as questionable, which leaves Josh Downs, Laquon Treadwell and Deion Burks as the top, healthy wide receivers on the Colts' roster heading into the weekend.

  • Mike Evans WR | SF

    49ers' Mike Evans: Cleared for Week 5

    Evans (ribs) does not have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Seahawks, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

    Evans practiced on a limited basis Wednesday before sitting out Thursday's session, but with him cleared of any injury tag for Week 5 it appears he was simply held out for maintenance purposes. It's unclear just how close Evans is to 100 percent, but he will be out there for his team's key Week 5 matchup with its NFC West rival.

  • Gunnar Helm TE | TEN

    Titans' Gunnar Helm: Good to go for Week 5

    Helm (knee) does not carry an injury designation for Sunday's AFC South showdown against the Texans, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

    Helm popped up on Thursday's injury report as a limited practice participant due to a knee injury. However, the second-year tight end was a full participant in Friday's session, which was enough for him to fade and injury tag for Week 5. Helm saw just one target against the Ravens in Week 4 and has a 9-60-0 receiving line (on 12 targets) through four games.

  • Dallas Goedert TE | PHI

    Eagles' Dallas Goedert: Ready to return in Week 5

    Goedert (knee) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game at Jacksonville.

    After missing Weeks 3 and 4 due to a sprained MCL in his right knee, Goedert got back on the practice field this week, logging limited sessions Wednesday and Thursday before a full practice Friday gave him the all clear to play again. With both WR DeVonta Smith and RB Saquon Barkley sidelined this weekend due to respective hamstring injuries, Goedert figures to be a featured part of the Eagles' passing attack.
