Stevenson (shoulder) is doubtful to return to Sunday's game against New Orleans.

Stevenson thus is unlikely to get back into this Week 7 contest. The Miami (FL) product has started every game for the Bears this year, and had three tackles and a pass deflection before getting injured this week.

Ertz (shoulder) is active for Sunday's game against the Cowboys.

The veteran tight end was reported to be trending toward suiting up for Sunday's divisional clash, and that now has been made official. Ertz, who's averaging a modest 4.5 targets per game, should be in for a boost in volume against Dallas due to the absences of WRs Terry McLaurin (quadriceps), Deebo Samuel (heel) and Noah Brown (IR, groin/knee).

Jacobs (illness/calf) is listed as active Sunday at Arizona, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.

Jacobs was limited in practice Wednesday and Thursday due to an illness, but despite the Packers tacking on a calf injury on Friday's practice report, he logged a full session to end Week 7 prep. A questionable designation for Jacobs ensued before Adam Schefter of ESPN reported Saturday evening that the running back was a "true game-time decision." Per Matt Schneidman of The Athletic, Jacobs completed a pregame workout Sunday, after which uncertainty surrounding his availability was extinguished. However, it's unknown if Jacobs will be able to take on his normal 22.6 touches per game. If Jacobs yields some of those reps to the rest of Green Bay's backfield, Emanuel Wilson likely will be the biggest beneficiary, with Chris Brooks also on hand for work.

Carter (hamstring) is active for Sunday's game against the Broncos, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Carter was a late addition to the Giants' injury report Friday due to a hamstring injury. He has gone through pregame warmups without suffering a setback, and the No. 3 overall pick has been cleared to play in Denver. Carter has logged 13 tackles (seven solo), including 0.5 sacks, through the first six regular-season games of his NFL career.

Winston (coach's decision) is inactive but will serve as the Giants' emergency third quarterback for Sunday's game against the Broncos, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Winston will once again serve as the Giants' emergency quarterback, meaning he'll only see the field Week 7 if both Jaxson Dart and Russell Wilson leave the game due to injury, illness or ejection.

Moore (Achilles) is active for Sunday's game against the Chargers.

Moore has missed the Colts' last three games due to an Achilles injury, but the veteran corner has been cleared to return for Week 7. With Moore back in the secondary, Chris Lammons should see his snap count on defense significantly decrease.

Lambert-Smith is inactive for Sunday's game against the Colts, Kris Rhim of ESPN.com reports.

Lambert-Smith won't dress on Sunday as return specialist Derius Davis will serve as the fifth wide receiver for the Chargers. After breaking out in the preseason, the undrafted free agent hasn't had much of an opportunity in the regular season, recording his first career reception last week against Miami. This is the second game this season Lambert-Smith has been a healthy scratch.

Sneed (quadriceps) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Patriots, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.

Sneed went to the locker room in the third quarter after sustaining a quad injury, and he'll be evaluated by trainers to determine whether he can return. Darrell Baker will likely take over at outside corner for as long as Sneed is out of the game.

Dye (thumb) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Colts.

Dye was unable to practice all week due to a thumb injury, which is severe enough for him to miss his first game of the season. Dye has started in each of the Chargers' last five games, but the team will get a much-needed boost at inside linebacker with the return of veteran Denzel Perryman.

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

Perryman was a full participant in practice all week, which prompted the Chargers to activate the veteran linebacker from injured reserve Saturday. He missed the Chargers' last five games due to an ankle injury, but he has been cleared to return for Week 7 after going through pregame warmups. Perryman will return to a starting role at inside linebacker alongside Daiyan Henley while Marlowe Wax and Del'Shawn Phillips provide rotational depth.
