Simon (knee) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Colts, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official website reports.

Simon was a limited participant in practice all week following a knee injury sustained in the Week 5 loss to the Titans. The rookie fourth-rounder has been predominantly a special teams player, logging 63 special teams snaps to only three defensive ones. His return also bolsters the linebacker depth of a banged-up corps, with starter Mack Wilson (hamstring) active despite logging limited practice all week.

There was no "private meeting" between Brown, Jalen Hurts and Saquon Barkley as initially reported elsewhere, Jay Glazer reported on Fox NFL Sunday. Instead, Brown saw Hurts and Barkley talking in the parking lot and walked over to join them.

This comes with the territory for a big market team that's the defending Super Bowl champs, but the drama surrounding the Eagles' key offensive players has been exhausting. However, it's prudent to remember how the Eagles' offense was also off-kilter at this point in the season last year, too.

Melton (hamstring) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Colts, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official website reports.

After being a limited participant in practice all week, Melton is active for Sunday's game against the Colts. Melton has logged 216 defensive snaps for the team this season, recording 14 total tackles and three passes defended, but was sorely missed in the Week 5 loss to the Titans. With Will Johnson (groin) also active, Arizona will be the healthiest they've been in the secondary in some time.

Goldman is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Bears due to an illness.

Goldman is in jeopardy of missing his first game of the 2025 season due to an illness, and his official status for Monday's contest may not be known until the Commanders announce their list of inactive players approximately 90 minutes before the 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff. Jer'Zhan Newton would be in line for more rotational snaps at defensive tackle behind Daron Payne and Javon Kinlaw if Goldman is unable to play.

Wilson (ankle) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Colts, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official website reports.

Wilson has been working through an ankle injury he picked up in the Cardinals' Week 4 loss to the Seahawks. He played every defensive snap in the Week 5 loss to the Titans, racking up six total tackles and one pass defended and now slots in as a prominent member of the defense in a tough matchup against the Colts.

Duck (ankle) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Chargers.

The cornerback will miss his fifth straight contest. Rasul Douglas has played in 95 percent or more of the defensive snaps in every game that Duck has missed, and the veteran should be in line to play a starting role again Sunday.

Havenstein (ankle) is inactive for Sunday's Week 6 matchup versus Baltimore.

Havenstein's absence had been expected, as he's still dealing with an ankle injury and didn't practice at all this week. This will be the veteran offensive tackle's second straight missed game. Warren McClendon will draw another start at right tackle in Havenstein's stead.

Brewer (pectoral) is active for Sunday's game against the Chargers.

A pectoral injury limited Brewer in practice all week, but the 27-year-old center out of Texas State has been cleared to play in Sunday's home game.

Salyer (knee) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Dolphins.

Salyer was unable to practice Thursday and Friday due to a knee injury, and he'll be on the sidelines for Sunday's game. The Chargers' offensive line will turn to Austin Deculus, Mekhi Becton, Foster Sarell and Bobby Hart as their starting options at tackle due to the absences of Salyer, Joe Alt (ankle) and Trey Pipkins (knee).

Ewers (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Chargers but will serve as the emergency third QB.

It's a role that the Texas product has been playing all season behind Tua Tagovailoa and Zach Wilson. Ewers would need those two to get sick, injured or ejected to have a chance to play.
