D.J. Wonnum DE | DET
Panthers' D.J. Wonnum: Returning to action
Wonnum (hip) is active for Sunday's game against the Dolphins, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.
Wonnum was inactive for Week 4, but his absence will be limited to only one game. He's played a versatile role, primarily as a pass rusher and coverage linebacker through three games in the season. Across three games, Wonnum has totaled six tackles, two passes defensed, one interception and one quarterback hit.

Eric Stokes CB | LV
Raiders' Eric Stokes: Not playing vs. Indianapolis
Stokes (knee) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Colts.
Stokes suffered a knee injury during the Raiders' Week 4 loss to the Bears. He was a limited participant in practice all week, but he has not progressed enough in his recovery to be cleared to play Sunday. Veteran Jamal Adams and rookie third-rounder Darien Porter figure to see an uptick in defensive snaps at outside corner in Stokes' absence.

Juwan Johnson TE | NO
Saints' Juwan Johnson: Suiting up Sunday
Johnson (ankle) is listed as active Sunday against the Saints.
Johnson was contained to a pair of limited practices during Week 5 prep due to an ankle injury, but he'll ditch his questionable designation and be available to New Orleans' offense Sunday. He's welcoming back fellow TEs Taysom Hill (knee) and Foster Moreau (knee) to the lineup for the first time this season, but Johnson still should remain the most consistent pass catcher among the trio for QB Spencer Rattler. Johnson has racked up a respectable 22-204-1 line on 32 targets in four games on the campaign.

Sam Ehlinger QB | DEN
Broncos' Sam Ehlinger: Set for emergency QB role again
Ehlinger (coach's decision) is inactive and serving as the Broncos' emergency third quarterback for Sunday's contest against the Eagles.
For a fifth straight week, Ehlinger will serve as the third quarterback behind Bo Nix and Jarrett Stidham. Ehlinger can't enter Sunday's contest unless Nix and Stidham are unavailable due to an injury, illness or ejection.
-
Michael Mayer TE | LV
Raiders' Michael Mayer: Sidelined again in Week 5
Mayer (concussion) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Colts.
Though Mayer was a limited participant in practice throughout the week, he wasn't able to make enough progress in his recovery from the brain injury to clear the NFL's five-step concussion protocol. Mayer typically serves as the Raiders' No. 2 tight end when he's available, but his absence will loom larger in Week 5 since starter Brock Bowers (knee) is inactive for the first time in his career. With Bowers and Mayer in street clothes, the Raiders are left with Ian Thomas, Carter Runyon and practice-squad call-up Albert Okwuegbunam as their available options in the position group.
-
Odafe Oweh LB | WAS
Ravens' Odafe Oweh: Active versus Houston
Oweh (eye) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Texans.
Oweh landed on the Ravens' Week 5 injury report after being a limited participant Thursday due to an eye injury. After missing Friday's session, he was deemed questionable for Sunday's contest. With his active status confirmed, Oweh's availability is a boost to a Baltimore defense that is missing multiple key players versus Houston. To date, Oweh has recorded nine tackles in four games, but has yet to notch a sack after recording 10.0 over 17 regular-season games in 2024.

Tyrone Tracy Jr. RB | NYG
Giants' Tyrone Tracy: Inactive again in Week 5
Tracy (shoulder) is listed as inactive Sunday at New Orleans, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Tracy got back on the practice field Friday for the first time since dislocating his right shoulder Week 3 versus the Chiefs, but the limited session wasn't enough for the Giants to clear him for game action. While Tracy is missing a second consecutive contest, Cam Skattebo will continue to lead New York's backfield, and Devin Singletary will mix in behind him. Tracy's next chance to return to action is Thursday against the Eagles.
-
Germaine Pratt LB | IND
Raiders' Germaine Pratt: Surprise inactive for Week 5
Pratt (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Colts.
Pratt's absence comes as a surprise, given that he started in the first four games of the regular season and did not show up on the Raiders' injury report heading into Sunday's contest. Tommy Eichenberg and Cody Lindenberg are slated to see more snaps at linebacker in Pratt's absence, but Jamal Adams could also see some work at the position.
-
Devontez Walker WR | BAL
Ravens' Devontez Walker: Active Sunday
Walker (oblique) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Texans.
After logging a 'DNP' on Wednesday, Walker was limited Thursday and then turned in a full practice Friday, before heading into the weekend listed as questionable. With his active status confirmed, Walker will be among QB Cooper Rush's Week 5 receiving options, but with fellow WRs Zay Flowers, Rashod Bateman, DeAndre Hopkins and Tylan Wallace also on hand, Walker (who has a 3/60/2 receiving line through four games, with both scores occurring in Week 2) is a hit-or-miss fantasy lineup option.
-
Sam Howell QB | DAL
Eagles' Sam Howell: Emergency third QB again
Howell (coach's decision) is inactive but available as the Eagles' emergency third quarterback against the Broncos on Sunday.
For a second straight week, Howell will serve as the No. 3 QB behind Jalen Hurts and Tanner McKee. Howell was the primary backup for the first games of the season while McKee was recovering from a broken thumb. Howell can only see the field if both Hurts and McKee leave Sunday's contest due to injury.
