Evans (hamstring) wasn't spotted on the field for Thursday's practice, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

The Buccaneers haven't officially ruled Evans out from playing in Sunday's game against the 49ers, but all signs point to the wideout missing a third straight contest while he's yet to log any practice activity since suffering a moderate left hamstring strain in a Week 3 win over the Jets. Evans' likely absence this weekend would loom even larger than normal if he ends up being joined in street clothes by fellow wideout Chris Godwin (fibula), who could be at risk of sitting out Sunday after missing his second straight practice Thursday.

Godwin (fibula) wasn't spotted on the field for Thursday's practice, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Unless he fits in some on-field work behind the scenes during the closed portion of Thursday's session, Godwin will go down as a non-participant for the Buccaneers' first two Week 6 practices. Fellow wideout Mike Evans (hamstring) and running back Bucky Irving (shoulder/foot) have joined Godwin in sitting out both practices, putting the Buccaneers at risk of being without three of their top playmakers for Sunday's game against the 49ers. If both Godwin and Evans are sidelined for the Week 6 contest, Sterling Shepard, Tez Johnson and Ryan Miller could all be in line for added snaps behind Emeka Egbuka, who would be locked in as Tampa Bay's clear No. 1 wideout.

Falcons head coach Raheem Morris said that Mooney (hamstring) won't practice Thursday, Terrin Waack of the team's official site reports. ""Right now, Mooney is still day-to-day. We'll see what that is," Morris said. "We'll get a good feel for what it looks like moving forward."

Mooney made an early exit from the Falcons' 34-27 win over the Commanders in Week 4 after tweaking his hamstring, but he benefited from a well-timed Week 5 bye. Though Atlanta initially expressed hope that Mooney wouldn't have to miss further action because of the hamstring injury, his absence from the team's first Week 6 practice casts some doubt on his availability. He'll have two more chances to log some practice activity before the Falcons host the Bills on Monday.

The Buccaneers have not yet set a timetable for Goedeke (foot) to return from IR, but the team does not consider his injury season-ending at this time, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.

Goedeke's absence at right tackle has been felt by Tampa Bay, especially with right guard Cody Mauch (knee) having been lost for the year, so it would be a notable boost if the former is able to return at some point during the 2025 campaign. Since Goedeke remains without a clear timetable to return, however, the Buccaneers will continue relying on Charlie Heck to hold down the fort at right tackle for the foreseeable future.

Ellis (ribs/shoulder) is not participating in Thursday's practice, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.

Elliss has now missed back-to-back practices, so it seems like he's facing long odds to be ready for Sunday's game against the Jets in London. For any chance at being cleared to play Week 6, the second-year pro will need to get back on the practice field as at least a limited participant Friday.

The Browns acquired Campbell and a 2026 seventh-round pick from the Jaguars on Wednesday in exchange for cornerback Greg Newsome (hamstring) and 2026 sixth-round pick,Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Newsome had been scheduled to become a free agent after the season, and with the Browns having yet to reach an extension with him, they opted to flip him for another cornerback in Campbell, who will be under club control through 2028 after signing a four-year, $76.5 million extension with Jacksonville last summer. Campbell should immediately step into a starting role at the boundary corner spot opposite Denzel Ward (ankle). The 25-year-old Campbell racked up 35 tackles (22 solo) and a forced fumble across five games with Jacksonville this season.

The Jaguars acquired Newsome (hamstring) and a 2026 sixth-round pick from the Browns on Wednesday in exchange for cornerback Tyson Campbell and a 2026 seventh-round pick, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Newsome, who is in the final season of his rookie deal, had been popping up in trade rumors with the 1-4 Browns seemingly in the midst of a non-contending campaign. He'll now join a Jaguars defense that leads the league with 10 interceptions and 14 total turnovers forced. Newsome has three career interceptions across 59 games and delivered his best season in 2023, when he picked off two passes and was credited with 14 pass breakups.

Kinchens (knee) was a limited participant in the Rams' practice Wednesday, Stu Jackson of the team's official site reports.

Kinchens is dealing with knee soreness, though it's unclear when he sustained the injury. If the 23-year-old ends up being unable to play Sunday against Baltimore, Jaylen McCollough would likely start at safety in his place.

Landman (ankle) logged a limited practice Wednesday, Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site reports.

Landman has been a major contributor in the middle of the Rams' linebacker corps, logging at least 90 percent of defensive snaps in every game. He apparently suffered the injury at some point during Los Angeles' Week 5 loss to San Francisco, making his status unclear for Sunday's game against the Ravens.

Parkinson (concussion) logged a limited practice session Wednesday, Stu Jackson of the Rams' official sitereports.

Parkinson is in the league's concussion protocol after suffering a head injury in Thursday's loss to the 49ers. Though Parkinson will need to be officially cleared, coach Sean McVay said that he expects the tight end to be available in Week 6 against Jacksonville.
