Carter rushed nine times for 34 yards and brought in two of five targets for 30 yards in the Cardinals' 31-27 loss to the Colts on Sunday.

Prior to the game, it was announced that Bam Knight would serve in the lead-back role, theoretically relegating Carter to complementary duties. However, Carter ended up lagging just two carries behind Knight while equaling his teammate's rushing yardage, and he provided a nice chunk play as a receiver with a 16-yard catch. Although Knight did score a short rushing touchdown, the gap between the two players doesn't seem to be much heading into a Week 7 home matchup against the Packers next Sunday afternoon.

Van Ness is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Bengals due to a right foot injury, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

Van Ness was carted off the field to the locker room, where his foot injury will be evaluated to determine whether he can return to Sunday's game. Kingsley Enagbare will serve as the top rotational defensive end behind Rashan Gary and Micah Parsons for as long as Van Ness is out of the game.

Jones completed 22 of 30 passes for 212 yards with two touchdowns and one interception while adding five carries for 20 yards and another score in the Colts' 31-27 win over the Cardinals on Sunday.

Jones put together another efficient performance that's become par for the course for him in the Colts' scheme. Jones eclipsed the 70.0 percent completion threshold for the fourth time overall in the first six games, and the veteran signal-caller also tossed a pair of touchdown for the second consecutive contest by connecting with Tyler Warren and Josh Downs from eight and five yards out, respectively. Jones added a three-yard scoring rush just before the halfway point of the second quarter, his fourth touchdown on the ground already. Jones will remain a highly coveted option in all formats for a Week 7 road showdown against the Chargers that could develop into a high-scoring affair.

Simmons (personal) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Lions.

Simmons will not play in Sunday night's game as he is attending to a personal matter. Jaylon Moore is slated to start at left tackle in Simmons' absence.

Oladejo is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Raiders due to a right calf injury, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.

Oladejo is being evaluated by medical staff on the sidelines to determine whether he can return to Sunday's game. The Titans are already without Arden Key (quadriceps), so Jihad Ward and Jaylen Harrell should see more snaps at outside linebacker opposite Dre'Mont Jones for as long as Oladejo is out of the game. Oladejo logged three tackles (two solo), including two for a loss, prior to his injury.

Waddle secured six of eight targets for 95 yards in the Dolphins' 29-27 loss to the Chargers on Sunday. He also completed an eight-yard pass attempt.

Waddle fell just short of his second consecutive 100-yard effort, but he still led the Dolphins in receptions, receiving yards and targets on the afternoon. The 2021 first-round pick has unsurprisingly seen an uptick in involvement during the first two full games Miami has played without Tyreek Hill (IR, knee), posting a combined 12-205-1 receiving line on 17 targets in that pair of contests. Waddle's clear-cut No. 1 receiver role should persist in a Week 7 road matchup against a talented Browns defense.

Etienne rushed 12 times for 27 yards and brought in four of five targets for 28 yards in the Jaguars' 20-12 loss to the Seahawks on Sunday.

Etienne was absolutely stonewalled on the ground by a talented Seahawks front seven, although he was able to partly atone for the shortfall with a solid day through the air that saw him post new season highs in receptions, receiving yards and targets. The fifth-year back now has back-to-back 12-carry tallies after opening the season with at least 14 rush attempts in each of the first four games, but he remains the Jaguars' unquestioned No. 1 back and next faces a Rams defense that was gashed by the Ravens' Derrick Henry in Week 6.

Ridley (hamstring) won't return to Sunday's game against the Raiders.

Ridley thus ends his day with one catch (on one target) for 18 yards, while Elic Ayomanor, Chimere Dike, Tyler Lockett and Van Jefferson will handle the Titans' WR duties in his absence for the remainder of the contest. Ridley's next chance to see game action will arrive Oct. 19 against the Patriots.

Hendrickson is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Packers due to a back injury.

Hendrickson appeared to sustain the injury during the second quarter and was taken to the locker room by trainers shortly before halftime. With Shemar Stewart (ankle) inactive, Cameron Sample and Myles Murphy are poised to see more snaps at defensive end for as long as Hendrickson is out of the game.

Warren secured six of nine targets for 63 yards and a touchdown in the Colts' 31-27 win over the Cardinals on Sunday.

Warren tied Josh Downs for the team lead in receptions and led the way in both receiving yards and targets on an afternoon where he also recorded his second touchdown grab of the season. Warren found the end zone from eight yards out to cap off the opening possession of the game, and he tallied his fifth catch of 20-plus yards this season earlier in the drive with a 23-yard reception. The rookie tight end will continue to serve as a focal point of the offense during a Week 7 marquee road matchup against the Chargers.
