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.

Cornelius is dealing with a knee issue and is inactive for Sunday's game against the Panthers, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.

Cornelius' knee issue held him to a trio of limited practices this week, and he's not going to suit up Sunday. The rookie offensive tackle hasn't yet played an offensive snap this season, so he may not have gotten onto the field against the Panthers even if he was healthy.

Weaver (coach's decision) is inactive Sunday against the Colts, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official website reports.

Weaver served as the Cardinals' No. 4 wideout in Week 4 against the Seahawks, before ultimately being inactive in Week 5 against the Titans. The 24-year-old is once again inactive for Sunday's matchup.

Wilson (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Chargers.

Wilson was able to fade an injury designation after logging a full practice Friday. However, despite Tyreek Hill (knee) being out for the rest of the season, Wilson will observe Sunday's game in street clothes while Dee Eskridge and Tahj Washington serve as the Dolphins' depth options at wide receiver. Wilson has yet to play a regular-season game in 2025, and his next opportunity to do so is Week 7 against the Browns on Sunday, Oct. 19.

Wright (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Chargers.

The running back is a healthy scratch for the second straight game, as De'Von Achane and Ollie Gordon continue to lead Miami's backfield. Wright has yet to carry the ball in 2025.

Smith-Wade (chest) is active for Sunday's game against the Cowboys, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

Smith-Wade was unable to play against the Dolphins in Week 5 due to a chest injury, but he's been given the green light to play Sunday after logging full practices all week. The 2024 fifth-rounder has accumulated 10 tackles (nine solo) and a pick-six across four regular-season games.

Smith (knee) is active for Sunday's Week 6 tilt against the Panthers, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.

Smith has been dealing with a knee injury throughout October. While he was active in Week 5 against the Jets, he didn't end up playing. However, Smith is expected to start versus Carolina on Sunday, per Archer.

Jackson (ribs) is active for Sunday's game against the Cowboys, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

Jackson was a full participant in practice all week and has been cleared to play in Sunday's home tilt. The 2019 fifth-rounder has 19 tackles (16 solo) and four pass defenses (including one interception) through the first five games of the regular season.

Milroe (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's matchup with the Jaguars but will serve as the emergency third quarterback.

Milroe would need starter Sam Darnold and backup Drew Lock to get injured, sick or ejected to have a chance to play. The Alabama product and 2025 third-round pick has yet to attempt a pass in his pro career.

Richardson is inactive for Sunday's game against the Cardinals after sustaining an eye injury while doing pregame work with resistance bands, Joel A. Erickson of The Indianapolis Star reports.

The Colts haven't provided word on the severity of the injury, but Richardson was apparently in enough discomfort that the team elected to make him inactive for the first time this season. Richardson had suited up as starting quarterback Daniel Jones' top backup for each of the first five games and saw action late in blowout wins in Weeks 3 and 5, but rookie Riley Leonard is now slated to handle the No. 2 role Sunday.
