Kyler Murray QB | MIN
Cardinals' Kyler Murray: Coach taking wait-and-see approach
Coach Jonathan Gannon said Monday that the Cardinals will "see how the week goes" after Murray emerged from Sunday's 22-21 loss to the Titans with a foot injury, Howard Balzer of USA Today reports.
Murray missed three offensive snaps in the third quarter of Sunday's game due to a listed foot injury, but he was able to return and finished with 220 yards, no touchdowns and no interceptions on 23-for-31 passing, four carries for 25 yards and a TD and a lost fumble. It marked the first time in five contests this season in which he didn't toss for a touchdown, and he now has four turnovers (three INTs and the fumble) on the campaign. The Cardinals will kick off preparations for Sunday's road matchup with the Colts on Wednesday, at which point Murray's status for Week 6 may begin to come into focus.

Khalil Dorsey CB | DET
Lions' Khalil Dorsey: Expected to miss some time
Coach Dan Campbell said Monday that Dorsey (concussion) will be out "for a while," Justin Rogers of DetroitFootball.net reports.
Dorsey logged just 19 defensive snaps across the first four games of the season before missing Sunday's win over the Bengals. With all of the injuries in the Lions' secondary, Dorsey likely would have been looking at an increased role on defense, but he'll join Terrion Arnold (shoulder) and D.J. Reed (hamstring, IR) on the shelf.

Omar Speights LB | LAR
Rams' Omar Speights: Diagnosed with high-ankle sprain
Speights suffered a high-ankle sprain in Thursday night's loss to the 49ers and is not expected to play Sunday against the Ravens, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.
Coach Sean McVay said Monday that Speights will likely be listed as doubtful for Week 6 versus Baltimore. He's likely looking at a multi-week absence. Speights has logged 64 percent of the defensive snaps alongside every-down LB Nate Landman in the middle of the Rams' defense. Troy Reeder will likely be the next man up at linebacker for Los Angeles.

Colby Parkinson TE | LAR
Rams' Colby Parkinson: In concussion protocol
Parkinson is in the league's concussion protocol, but coach Sean McVay said Monday he expects Parkinson to be available to play Sunday against the Ravens, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.
With Tyler Higbee (hip) out last Thursday night against the 49ers, Parkinson started the game and played 37 percent of the Rams' offensive snaps. He failed to catch his lone target, which was an end-zone shot from Matthew Stafford. Parkinson has four catches for 11 yards on five targets this season.

Saquon Barkley RB | PHI
Eagles' Saquon Barkley: Expected to play Thursday
Though Barkley (knee) had general soreness coming out of Sunday's 21-17 loss to the Broncos, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports that the running back fully expects to play Thursday night against the Giants.
Barkley was notably listed as a non-participant on Monday's practice estimate, but Rapoport's report suggests that the star back isn't in danger of being sidelined Thursday. That said, Barkley's status still is worth monitoring ahead of Week 6 action, with added context on that front slated to arrive via Tuesday's practice report.

Terrion Arnold CB | SEA
Lions' Terrion Arnold: Looking at extended absence
Coach Dan Campbell said Monday that Arnold (shoulder) will be sidelined for "a long time," Colton Pouncy of The Athletic reports.
Arnold initially injured the shoulder in the Lions' Week 4 win over the Browns. He played through the issue in Sunday's win over the Bengals but aggravated the shoulder and is now looking at an extended absence. It's unclear if it's a season-ending injury for the second-year cornerback, but the Detroit cornerback depth chart has been rocked by injuries. Arnold joins fellow starter D.J. Reed (hamstring, IR) and key backup Khalil Dorsey (concussion) on the shelf. Campbell said Dorsey is also looking at a multi-week absence. Rock Ya-Sin and Tre Flowers are going to have to assume major roles in the secondary.

Hassan Haskins RB | NE
Chargers' Hassan Haskins: Could see expanded backfield role
Haskins was on the field for 14 of a possible 67 snaps in Sunday's 27-10 loss to the Commanders en route to carrying five times for 13 yards and catching his only target for two yards.
Meanwhile, fellow backup running back Kimani Vidal also logged 14 snaps, while carrying four times for 18 yards and catching his only target for one yard. However, with Eric Smith of the Chargers' official site relaying Monday that top back Omarion Hampton is in line to be placed on IR and miss at least four games with an ankle injury, Haskins and Vidal both figure to see added touches in that span, with Amar Johnson representing a possible practice-squad elevation. Moreover, the team could add further backfield depth in the coming days, but for now the looming potential for an expanded workload makes Haskins worthy of waiver wire consideration for those in need of RB help ahead of Week 6 action.

Kimani Vidal RB | LAC
Chargers' Kimani Vidal: Could help fill in for Hampton
Vidal reverted to the Chargers' practice squad Monday.
After being elevated for Week 5 Vidal logged 14 snaps in Sunday's 27-10 loss to the Commanders, carrying four times for 18 yards and catching his only target for one yard. Meanwhile, fellow running back Hassan Haskins also logged 14 snaps, carrying five times for 13 yards and catching his only target for two yards. With Eric Smith of the Chargers' official site reporting that top back Omarion Hampton is slated to go on injured reserve and miss at least four games with an ankle injury, Vidal and Haskins both are expected to see added touches in the weeks to come. The Chargers could also look to add backfield depth in the coming days, but in the meantime, the looming possibility of an expanded workload makes Vidal -- who appears destined for either another elevation or an active roster spot Week 6 -- a worthy waiver-wire target for those in need of help at running back.

Josh Oliver TE | MIN
Vikings' Josh Oliver: Catches TD on trick play
Oliver had two receptions for 35 yards, including a 32-yard touchdown, on three targets in Sunday's win over Cleveland in London.
Oliver's touchdown came on a trick play from Cam Akers in the wildcat formation. Oliver has just four receptions and six targets in five games this season. He's almost exclusively a blocking tight end but can get the occasional touchdown (two this season).

Adam Thielen WR | PIT
Vikings' Adam Thielen: No targets in win
Thielen did not have a target or carry in Sunday's win over Cleveland in London. He played on 14 of the offense's 65 snaps.
Thielen has become a distant No. 4 receiver the past two games with the return of Jordan Addison from a suspension. He's unlikely to have a larger role in the offense unless one of the top three receivers is injured.
