Mitchell is expected to handle a more limited role on offense during Sunday's game against the Raiders, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

Mitchell was given an opportunity at a larger role in Week 4 against the Rams due to the absence of Alec Pierce (concussion). Though the second-year wideout logged three catches (on four targets) for 96 yards, he had a 76-yard receiving touchdown wiped out after inadvertently dropping the football right before reaching the end zone. He then had a costly holding penalty in the fourth quarter that negated a Jonathan Taylor 53-yard rushing touchdown. Pierce will end up missing a second straight game Sunday against Las Vegas, but Fowler relays that veteran Ashton Dulin -- not Mitchell -- will likely see more snaps as the Colts' third receiver alongside Michael Pittman and Josh Downs.

Ridley (knee/elbow) is trending toward being active for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

Ridley is working through knee and elbow injuries, which caused him to miss the first two practices of the week before logging a limited session Friday to earn the questionable tag. The veteran wideout looks to be available for Week 5, though official word on his status may not come until the Titans announce their list of inactive players approximately 90 minutes before Sunday's 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff. Ridley played just 27 snaps on offense during the Titans' Week 4 loss to the Texans, so he could see limited playing time against the Cardinals if he were to play, which would lead to more opportunities for Elic Ayomanor, Tyler Lockett, Chimere Dike and Van Jefferson. Ridley and the Titans offense are off to a slow start to the 2025 regular season, with the 2018 first-rounder tallying 10 catches (on 24 targets) for 141 yards through four games.

The Bills placed Strong (neck) on injured reserve Saturday.

The sixth-round rookie cornerback has appeared in all four games to this point in the season, logging 39 percent of the Bills' defensive snaps and 40 percent of the snaps on special teams. Ja'Marcus Ingram, Cam Lewis, Brandon Codrington and Jordan Hancock will be in line for more snaps with Strong on the shelf.

Abdullah (hamstring) has been ruled out for Monday night's game against the Chiefs.

The reserve linebacker has yet to see any action on defense this season but has logged 54 snaps on special teams across three appearances

The Vikings placed Kelly (concussion) on injured reserve Saturday.

Kelly has already sustained two concussions this season and has a history of concussions, so the Vikings are giving him time to fully recover. With Kelly sidelined and Michael Jurgens (hamstring) ruled out for Sunday, Blake Brandel is penciled in as the starting center against Cleveland.

The Jets elevated Williams from the practice squad Saturday.

Williams will give the Jets another option on kickoff and punt returns after Isaiah Williams lost a fumble in the role last Monday night and was subsequently cut Saturday.

The Panthers activated Ray (ankle) from injured reserve Saturday.

Despite being activated, Ray is still listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Dolphins, but this at least gives him a chance to make his 2025 season debut this week. Ray appeared in 33 regular-season games over the previous two seasons, recording 60 tackles (22 solo), including 1.0 sacks.

Murray (neck) doesn't carry an injury designation into Monday night's game against the Chiefs.

Murray was forced to leave last Sunday's win over the 49ers with the injury, but he won't need to miss any additional action. Murray has started all four games at safety for the Jaguars, recording 20 tackles (11 solo) and three pass breakups, including one interception, on 83 percent of the defensive snaps.

Walker (wrist) is questionable for Monday night's game against the Chiefs.

Walker underwent minor surgery on his left wrist earlier in the week but was able to return to practice Saturday with a club on his hand, getting in a limited session. If Walker is unable to go Monday, veterans Dawuane Smoot and Emmanuel Ogbah would see increased snaps on defense.

Norman-Lott (shoulder) is questionable for Monday night's game against the Jaguars.

Coach Andy Reid said Saturday that Norman-Lott was injured in Friday's practice, Matt McMullen of the Chiefs' official site reports. The second-round rookie defensive lineman missed Week 1 with an ankle injury but has played just over 30 percent of the defensive snaps over the last three weeks.
