Gardner is being evaluated for a possible concussion Sunday versus the Panthers, Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic reports.

Gardner took a blow to the head in the second half of Sunday's matchup, and his status for the rest of the game is now uncertain. In his absence, Jarvis Brownlee is a top candidate to see an increase in workload at cornerback.

Taylor (shoulder) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Raiders.

The Chiefs hold a commanding lead in the fourth quarter, so Taylor's removal could be a precautionary measure. Wanya Morris has come in at right tackle in Taylor's absence.

Carson (knee) is active for Sunday's contest against the Commanders.

Carson will make his regular-season debut after missing the team's first six games of the season while on injured reserve with a knee injury. The 23-year-old may be asked to draw a start at cornerback due to Trevon Diggs (concussion) being unavailable versus Washington.

Sneed (quadriceps) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Patriots, Ben Arthur of FoxSports.com reports.

Sneed was taken to the locker room in the third quarter, and medical staff have determined that the cornerback's quadriceps injury is too severe for him to return to Sunday's contest. Darrell Baker will see more snaps at outside corner in Sneed's absence.

Young was forced out of Sunday's game against the Jets with an ankle injury, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

Prior to his exit from the contest, Young completed 15 of his 25 passing attempts for 138 yards and a TD and carried twice for 10 yards. With Young injured, Andy Dalton is in at QB for the Panthers.

Robinson (pectoral) is active for Sunday's game against the Packers, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Robinson has been given the green light to return Sunday from at two-game absence due to a pectoral injury. His return means there will be less snaps at defensive end to go around for Bilal Nichols, Jordan Burch and Dante Stills.

Salyer (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Colts.

Salyer missed Week 6 at Miami due to a knee injury, but is expected to return against the Colts. He will return as a starter at left tackle for an already depleted Chargers offensive line, with tackles Joe Alt (ankle) and Trey Pipkins (knee) out.

Smith is active for Sunday's contest against the Commanders.

Smith has played inconsistently this season, but he will now be active for his fourth contest of the year. The defensive lineman has compiled just one tackle to this point in the season, playing 50 snaps on defense and 15 with the special-teams unit.

Hobbs (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.

Hobbs was a late addition to Friday's injury report due to a knee injury. He was listed as questionable heading into Week 7 but has been cleared to suit up after going through pregame warmups. With Keisean Nixon (illness) also active, Hobbs will likely serve in a rotational role in the secondary while contributing on special teams.

Jurgens (knee) has officially been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Vikings, Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

Jurgens sustained a knee injury in the first quarter and, after further evaluation, won't log any more Week 7 action. Brett Toth has continued as the center for the Eagles and will likely finish Sunday's game for the team.
