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.

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.
