Walker (quadriceps) is active for Sunday's game against the Bengals, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.

Walker registered an LP-DNP-LP practice log this past week while working through a quadriceps injury, but the 2022 seventh-rounder has been cleared to play Sunday.

Tom (oblique/back) is active for Sunday's game against the Bengals, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.

A back injury was added to Tom's name on Friday's injury report, but the fourth-year offensive lineman has been given the green light to play Sunday. He'll reclaim his starting spot at right tackle while Darian Kinnard reverts to a reserve role.

Fairchild (knee) is inactive for Sunday's game against Green Bay.

Fairchild was limited in Friday's practice heading into the weekend but doesn't appear to be ready for Week 6 action. With the 22-year-old rookie out, Dalton Risner is set to start in his place.

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

Hobbs has cleared the league's five-step concussion protocol and will play in Sunday's home tilt. The 2021 fifth-rounder has logged 10 tackles (five solo) and one pass defense through three regular-season games in 2025.

Egbuka is set to serve as the Buccaneers' No. 1 receiver in Sunday's game against the 49ers due to Mike Evans (hamstring) and Chris Godwin (fibula) being ruled inactive for the contest, per Scott Smith of the team's official site.

The star rookie has already been one of the league's most productive receivers throughout his first five NFL games while playing each without either Evans or Godwin on the field. With both veteran wideouts sidelined Sunday, the Ohio State product will officially assume the role of No. 1 receiver for the first time in his nascent career, where he'll look to improve on the per-game averages of 5.0 receptions, 89.0 receiving yards and 7.6 targets he's generated thus far this season.

Robinson (foot) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Rams, Jonas Shaffer of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.

Robinson injured his foot in the second quarter of Sunday's game, and the injury is severe enough that the third-year linebacker will not return. David Ojabo and Mike Green will see more opportunities with the Ravens' defense in Robinson's absence. The Ravens are on a bye for Week 7, so Robinson will have additional time to recover ahead of the team's Week 8 contest against the Bears on Sunday, Oct. 26.

Jennings (ankle/rib) is listed as active Sunday at Tampa Bay, Briana Jeannel of the 49ers' official site reports.

Jennings sat out a Week 5 win at the Rams due to the rib injury that he picked up during a Week 4 loss to the Jaguars. He managed to log limited sessions Thursday and Friday before the 49ers tagged him as questionable for Week 6 action. With his status now confirmed for Sunday's game, Jennings will return to a San Francisco offense that's without notables like QB Brock Purdy (toe, inactive), TE George Kittle (hamstring, IR) and Ricky Pearsall (knee, inactive). As a result, Jennings should slot in as one of QB Mac Jones' (knee) top targets along with RB Christian McCaffrey, WRs Kendrick Bourne and Demarcus Robinson and TE Jake Tonges.

Shepard is set to operate as the Buccaneers' No. 2 receiver in Sunday's game against the 49ers due to Mike Evans (hamstring) and Chris Godwin (fibula) both being ruled inactive for the contest, per Scott Smith of the team's official site.

Shepard warmed up for his projected expanded role by recording his first touchdown since Week 5 of last season in last Sunday's win over the Seahawks. The veteran has remained healthy over his season-plus in Tampa Bay and shown he still has plenty to offer in the process, and he'll enter Sunday's matchup against the 49ers with a 17-191-1 line on 24 targets.

Jones (knee/oblique) is active for Sunday's game in Tampa Bay, Briana Jeannel of the 49ers' official site reports.

During a week in which Jones practiced in a limited capacity Wednesday through Friday due to the oblique injury that he suffered Week 5 and a lingering PCL sprain, he didn't attempt many passes until Friday, at which point the 49ers deemed him questionable for Week 6 action. With No. 1 QB Brock Purdy (toe) out yet again, Jones will earn his fourth start of the season after completing 86 of 129 passes (66.7 percent) for 905 yards, six touchdowns and one interception in his first three opportunities to lead the 49ers offense. Adam Schefter of ESPN reported overnight Saturday that Purdy has "a chance" to return next Sunday night against the Falcons, so Jones' time as San Francisco's starting QB may come to a close after this Sunday's contest.

Stewart (ankle) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Packers.

Stewart will miss a fourth straight game due to an ankle injury that he sustained in Week 2 against the Jaguars, and his next opportunity to play is Thursday against the Steelers. Myles Murphy will continue to see more work in rotation at defensive end in Stewart's absence.
