Sanborn is being evaluated for a concussion and is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Jets, Calvin Watkins of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Sanborn was taken back to the locker room after taking a hit to the head, where he will undergo further tests for a concussion. Shemar James and Marist Liufau are in line to see more snaps at linebacker for as long as Sanborn is out of the game.

Cole is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Colts due to an ankle injury.

Cole injured his ankle after his punt was blocked in the second quarter, and the injury was severe enough for the punter to be carted off the field. Daniel Carlson may be tasked with handling punting duties for the rest of the game while backup quarterback Kenny Pickett serves as the holder on field-goal attempts and extra-point tries if Cole is unable to return.

Shrader is doubtful to return to Sunday's game against the Raiders due to a right knee injury, Kevin Bowen of 107.5 The Fan Indianapolis report.

Shrader suffered the injury on an extra-point attempt in the second quarter, when Tristin McCollum ran into his right knee. Shrader was slow to walk off the field, and the Colts will seemingly be without a place kicker for the rest of the game, which would necessitate the offense to go for two-point conversions for the rest of Sunday's game.

Dickerson is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Broncos due to an ankle injury, Jimmy Kempski of PhillyVoice.com reports.

Dickerson had his ankle rolled up on late in the first quarter and is being evaluated by trainers on the sidelines to determine whether he can return. Brett Toth will will take over at left guard for as long as Dickerson is out of the game.

Hockenson brought in all six targets for 38 yards in the Vikings' 21-17 win over the Browns in London on Sunday.

The veteran tight end continued to play a short-area role and finished as the runner-up in receptions for the Vikings while also tying for second in targets. Hockenson provided some key contributions on the Vikings' game-winning drive late in the fourth quarter, making two catches for 20 yards during the possession. He has between four and six receptions in his last three games, but he's yet to top 49 receiving yards in any contest this season heading into the Week 6 bye.

Reid has been diagnosed with a concussion and will not return to Sunday's game against the Giants.

Reid went to the locker room in the first quarter after taking a hit to the head, and the eighth-year safety has entered the league's concussion protocol after being evaluated by medical staff. Jordan Howden will take on an increased role at safety alongside Jonas Sanker in Reid's absence.

Fannin recorded four receptions on four targets for 13 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 21-17 loss to the Vikings.

Fannin had a mixed performance in Dillon Gabriel's first game under center. He was overshadowed by David Njoku -- who led the team with nine targets -- but was a reliable short-area target for Gabriel. Fannin accounted for the Browns' first touchdown of the day with a one-yard catch midway through the first quarter, also the first of his career. He hasn't shown much upside, but Fannin could emerge as a favorite target of Gabriel in the quick-pass game.

Szmyt made his lone field-goal try and both of his extra-point attempts during the Browns' 21-17 loss to the Vikings on Sunday.

Szmyt connected on a 31-yard chip shot late in the second quarter to give the Browns a 10-7 lead heading into halftime. The rookie kicker has attempted three kicks or less in each of the last four games due to Cleveland's offense struggling to move the ball down the field. Szmyt has gone 6-for-8 on field-goal attempts and 7-for-8 on extra-point tries through the first five games of the regular season.

Addison secured five of six targets for 41 yards and a touchdown in the Vikings' 21-17 win over the Browns in London on Sunday.

Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com reported Addison was subject to a first-quarter benching for undisclosed reasons, but the third-year wideout ultimately would make up for lost time in clutch fashion. Addison was efficient with his opportunities, and the bulk of those came at the tail end of the Vikings' game-winning drive late in the fourth quarter. Addison was on the receiving end of each of Carson Wentz's final three completions and totaled 21 yards on those catches, the last which was a go-ahead 12-yard touchdown grab. For his part, Addison conceded afterward that he wasn't sure if he'd even be able to play in the game, per Seifert, but he made good on his vow to be ready if he did step on the field. Following the completion of his season-opening three-game suspension, Addison has immediately played a key part in Minnesota's air attack with a 9-155-1 line on 14 targets over his first two contests. He'll now prepare to play his first 2025 game stateside following the Week 6 bye when the Vikings host the Eagles on Sunday, Oct. 19 in a contest that could also provide Addison his first regular-season opportunity to work with J.J. McCarthy (ankle) as his quarterback.

Njoku recorded six receptions on nine targets for 67 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 21-17 loss to the Vikings.

Njoku was Dillon Gabriel's favorite pass catcher, as Njoku led the team in targets, receptions and yards. His biggest contribution was a nine-yard touchdown catch late in the third quarter -- his first of the season -- and he also chipped in an impressive leaping catch just before halftime that went for 17 yards. This was by far Njoku's most productive performance of the season and was a positive first showing with Gabriel.
