McLaughlin has been added to the Buccaneers' Week 5 injury report Saturday with an illness, but doesn't carry an injury designation.

McLaughlin is the only kicker on the Buccaneers' active roster, and considering that he wasn't given an injury designation, at this stage it doesn't appear as though his status for Sunday's game against the Seahawks will be impacted. Through four contests to date, McLaughlin has made nine of his 12 field-goal attempts and eight of his nine extra-point tries for a total of 35 points in that span.

McCarthy (ankle), who has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Browns in London, didn't practice Friday due to rainy conditions, Alec Lewis The Athletic reports. "We wanted to be smart with that," head coach Kevin O'Connell said, regarding McCarthy's continued absence from practice. "But I'm very much looking forward to spending some time with him next week. We'll see where he's at coming out of the [Week 6] bye."

The Vikings were hopeful McCarthy would be able to return to practice this week, but he still hasn't taken part in any on-field work since sustaining a right high-ankle sprain in the team's Week 2 loss to the Falcons. With McCarthy still sidelined, Carson Wentz is slated to draw a third straight start at quarterback Sunday. O'Connell has previously said McCarthy will need a full week of practice before he can return to action, though it's not clear if the second-year signal-caller will regain the starting job once he's formally cleared. After the bye week, the Vikings will host the Eagles in Week 7 on Oct. 19.

Lenoir registered six tackles (two solo) and one pass defense during the 49ers' 26-23 overtime win over the Rams.

Lenoir played every defensive snap for the third time this season, and his six tackles were fourth most on the 49ers. The 2021 fifth-rounder has logged six tackles in back-to-back games and is up to 21 tackles (16 solo) and one pass defense through the first five games of the regular season.

Winters registered four tackles (three solo) during Thursday's 26-23 overtime win over the Rams.

Winters briefly left Thursday's game due to a shoulder injury, but he was quickly cleared to return and ended up playing every defensive snap. His four tackles were a season low, but he's up to 36 total tackles through five regular-season games and is close to clearing his total from the 2024 campaign (44 total tackles across 15 regular-season games).

Sigle registered 13 tackles (seven solo) and one pass defense during Thursday's 26-23 overtime win over the Rams.

Sigle reached double-digit tackles for the first time this season, and he finished Thursday's game with the second most tackles behind Rams linebacker Nate Landman (14). Sigle has played every defensive snap in each of the first five games of the regular season and is up to 39 tackles (22 solo), two pass defenses and one forced fumble. His playing time could take a dip with Malik Mustapha (knee) close to returning from the reserve/PUP list.

Warner logged 12 tackles (seven solo) during the 49ers' 26-23 overtime win over the Rams on Thursday.

Warner played every single defensive snap for a fourth consecutive game, and he finished Thursday's contest with the second most tackles on the 49ers behind rookie fifth-round safety Marques Sigle (13). Thursday marked the third time Warner has logged double-digit tackles, and the veteran linebacker has recorded at least eight tackles in each of the first five games of the regular season. He's up to 50 tackles (28 solo), three pass defenses, two forced fumbles and one fumble recovery to open the 2025 campaign.

The Cardinals hosted Asante (ankle) for a workout Friday, Tyler Drake of ArizonaSports.com reports.

Asante reached an injury settlement with the Dolphins in late August after he sustained an ankle injury during Miami's preseason finale against Jacksonville. He now appears to be fully recovered from the injury and is looking to join a team in need of depth at linebacker.

The Raiders placed Jackson on injured reserve Friday due to a foot injury.

Jackson saw his practice participation steadily decrease over the week, and his foot injury is severe enough for him to require a stint on injured reserve. He'll be forced to miss at least four games, making Week 10 against the Broncos on Thursday, Nov. 6 the earliest he can return. Jackson has logged three tackles (two solo) through three games while serving solely on special teams this season.

Butler (hip) does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Chargers.

Butler has been cleared to return from a one-game absence due to a hip injury he sustained against the Raiders in Week 3. The 2022 fourth-rounder has primarily served on special teams this season and has logged four tackles (three solo) across three games.

Guyton (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Jets, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.

Guyton entered concussion protocol following the Cowboys' 40-40 tie to the Packers this past Sunday. Nate Thomas will likely start at left tackle against the Jets in Guyton's absence. Week 6 against the Panthers on Sunday, Oct. 12 will be Guyton's next opportunity to play.
