Jones (Achilles) is active for Sunday's game against the Lions, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.

Jones drew the questionable tag for Sunday's game despite not practicing all week due to an Achilles injury. The 2023 fourth-rounder has been cleared to play despite the lack of practice and will continue to serve in a return role on special teams.

Fisk (toe) is active for Sunday's game against the Commanders.

Fisk popped up on Thursday's injury report due to a toe injury, but he was a full participant in Friday's session and has been cleared to play in Sunday's home game. With Will Dissly (knee) inactive, the Chargers will have three tight ends on the active roster in Fisk, Oronde Gadsden and Tyler Conklin.

Dissly (knee) is inactive for Sunday's Week 5 matchup against the Commanders.

Dissly went into the weekend with a questionable tag after partaking in every practice of Week 5 prep, including as a full participant Friday. Nevertheless, the veteran will miss a third consecutive game, leaving rookie Oronde Gadsden and veteran Tyler Conklin as Justin Herbert's two top options at tight end versus Washington.

Calcaterra (oblique) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Broncos, Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Calcaterra suffered an oblique injury in the first quarter. The injury is severe enough for him to be sidelined for the rest of Sunday's game, and it puts him in jeopardy of missing the Eagles' Week 6 clash against the Giants on Thursday. Cameron Latu and Kylen Granson will serve as the Eagles' backup tight ends behind Dallas Goedert in Calcaterra's absence.

Sanborn has been diagnosed with a concussion and will not return Sunday against the Jets, Joe Hoyt of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Sanborn went to the locker room with medical staff in the first half after taking a hit to the head, where he was diagnosed with a concussion after undergoing tests. Marist Liufau and Shemar James will see more work on defense for the second half in Sanborn's absence.

Burke (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Titans, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Burke appeared on Friday's injury report due to a knee injury, but it's not severe enough for the rookie fifth-rounder to miss Sunday's contest. He could step into a starting role at outside corner due to Max Melton (hamstring) being inactive.

Nichols (neck) is active for Sunday's game against the Titans, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Nichols started the season on the reserve/PUP list due to a neck injury from the 2024 season, but he was reinstated Saturday and has been cleared to make his 2025 debut against Tennessee. He could see a healthy dose of snaps at defensive end in his first game back due to Darius Robinson being inactive with a pectoral injury.

Winston (hamstring) is set to play in Tennessee's matchup versus Arizona on Sunday.

Winston is set to make his regular-season debut after having missed the first four weeks of the campaign with a hamstring injury. The 21-year-old was selected by the Titans in the third round of this year's draft and will likely serve as a depth defender during Sunday's matchup.

Godwin is likely to see elevated target volume again in Sunday's Week 5 matchup against the Seahawks due to Mike Evans (hamstring) being inactive for the contest.

Godwin made his return from his own serious injury -- a dislocated ankle suffered Week 7 of last season -- Week 4 against the Eagles, the first game of Evans' current absence. He saw 10 targets across 58 snaps right out of the gate, but he was able to haul in only three of them for 26 yards. Nevertheless, with another week of practice, not to mention his first game action in nearly a year, now under his belt, Godwin could well be more efficient while facing a Seahawks secondary that once again will play without cornerback Devon Witherspoon (knee) and safety Julian Love (hamstring).

Melton (hamstring) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Titans, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Melton injured his hamstring in practice late in the week, and the injury is severe enough for the second-year corner to miss his first game of the regular season. Denzel Burke and Elijah Jones are the top candidates to start at outside corner in Melton's absence.
