Eluemunor (back) is listed as questionable ahead of Thursday night's matchup against the Eagles, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Eluemunor upgraded from a DNP at Tuesday's practice to a limited session Wednesday, suggesting he's trending in the right direction ahead of Thursday night. However, if the 30-year-old offensive lineman is unable to suit up for Week 6, Marcus Mbow is likely to start at right tackle.

Bozeman (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of Thursday night's matchup against the Eagles, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Bozeman sustained an ankle injury in the Giants' Week 5 loss to the Saints, so it's no surprise he's been ruled out ahead of Thursday night. The Southern Miss product has primarily contributed on special teams this season, recording three total tackles across four games. His next opportunity to suit up will come against the Broncos in Week 7.

Flannigan-Fowles (hamstring) has been ruled out ahead of Thursday night's matchup against the Eagles, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

The 28-year-old out of Arizona is now in line to miss his second consecutive game due to a hamstring injury likely sustained in practice. With Flannigan-Fowles, Swayze Bozeman (ankle), Micah McFadden (foot) and Chris Board (chest) all ruled out for Week 6, the Giants' inside-linebacker corps consists of just Bobby Okereke and Darius Muasau.

Slayton (hamstring) is ruled out for Thursday's game against the Eagles, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Slayton will miss Thursday's divisional matchup due to a hamstring injury sustained during Sunday's loss to the Saints. His next opportunity to take the field will come Sunday, Oct. 19 on the road against Denver in Week 7. With Slayton unavailable Thursday, Lil'Jordan Humphrey is expected to be elevated from the practice squad.

Cardinals coach Jonathan Gannon said Wednesday that Murray (foot) will not practice, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Gannon said "we'll see" regarding Murray's status for Week 6, echoing his comments from Monday. The starting quarterback missed just three snaps during the third quarter of Arizona's 22-21 loss to the Titans in Week 5 due to the injury, but he now appears up-in-the-air for Sunday's road matchup against the Colts. Murray will have two more opportunities to practice before the Cardinals have to assign him an injury designation for Sunday, but if he can't go, Jacoby Brissett will be in line to draw a start at Indianapolis.

The Panthers are designating Coker (quadriceps) to return to practice from IR on Wednesday, Darin Gantt of the team's official site reports.

The transaction opens a 21-day window wherein Coker can be evaluated at practice without counting against the 53-man roster. Carolina can activate him at any point during that time, including getting him back on the field as early as Sunday versus the Cowboys. He's recovering from a quad injury suffered Aug. 28.

Head coach Todd Bowles told reporters Wednesday that McCollum had a procedure done after sustaining a thumb injury in the Week 4 loss to the Eagles, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

Bowles noted that McCollum's status for Sunday's matchup against the 49ers will come down to the end of the week, but he was spotted with his left arm in a sling Wednesday, which suggests he's likely trending in the wrong direction. McCollum's practice participation throughout the week is expected to provide the best indication of whether he can suit up in Week 6. If he's unavailable, Josh Hayes is likely to take over as one of Tampa Bay's top outside corners.

Head coach Mike McDaniel told reporters Wednesday that Armstrong (hamstring) will be placed on injured reserve, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.

Armstrong sustained a hamstring injury in the Dolphins' Week 5 loss to the Panthers that's now expected to sideline him for at least the team's next four games. Expect Jack Jones, JuJu Brents and Rasul Douglas to serve as Miami's top outside cornerbacks while Armstrong is unavailable.

Patrick (calf) was designated to return from the injured reserve list Wednesday.

After missing the Bengals' last four games due to a calf injury sustained in the Week 1 win over the Browns, Patrick appears to be nearing a return. He now has 21 days to be added to Cincinnati's active roster before reverting to IR. Once activated, he's expected to operate as the team's top right guard.

Bachie (undisclosed) was placed on injured reserve Wednesday.

Prior to his injury, Bachie was one of the Colts' top reserve linebackers, recording 26 total tackles and one pass defended over 157 defensive snaps. He's now forced to miss at least Indianapolis' next four games, with his earliest possible return coming in the Week 10 matchup against the Falcons. While Bachie is sidelined, newly signed Germaine Pratt is likely to operate as the Colts' top reserve inside linebacker.
