Golston (ankle) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Saints.

Golston has missed the Giants' previous two contests but will return against New Orleans to fill his role as a rotational defensive lineman.

Brown (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, John Glennon of NashvillePost.com reports.

Brown has been working through a knee injury, and the issue is severe enough for him to miss the final two practices of the week. He'll be sidelined for Sunday's road contest, and his next opportunity to play will be Week 6 against the Raiders on Sunday, Oct. 12. Brown has one solo tackle through four games while serving solely in a special-teams role.

Scott has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Raiders due to a knee injury, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.

Scott was held out of practice all week due to a knee injury, and his next opportunity to play will be Week 6 against the Cardinals on Sunday, Oct. 12. He's mostly served on special teams, but in his absence, Rodney Thomas will serve as the top depth option at safety behind Nick Cross and Camryn Bynum.

Coach Todd Bowles said Friday that Izien (quadriceps) is out for Sunday's game against the Seahawks, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

Izien will sit out for a second straight game as he continues to recover from a quad injury he picked up in Week 3 versus the Jets. In his absence, Kaevon Merriweather could see an uptick in reps in the secondary in Week 5.

Wharton (toe) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Dolphins.

Wharton returned from a hamstring injury last Sunday against the Patriots and is now dealing with a toe issue that will cause him to miss his third game of the season. Jaden Crumedy should see elevated defensive snaps against Miami.

Strong has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Patriots due to a neck injury.

Strong was unable to participate in the last two practices of the week due to a neck injury, and the rookie sixth-rounder will miss his first game of the season as a result. Ja'Marcus Ingram and Cam Lewis are in line to see more rotational work at corner behind Tre'Davious White and Christian Benford due to Strong's absence. Strong will aim to return to practice next week and be available for the Bills' Week 6 road clash against the Falcons on Monday, Oct. 13.

Stewart (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Lions.

Stewart will miss his third consecutive game with the ankle injury. Myles Murphy has been seeing increased reps at edge rusher in Stewart's absence.

Conklin (elbow) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Vikings.

Conklin has missed the Browns' past three games. Cornelius Lucas has been filling in at right tackle in Conklin's absence.

Jurgens (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Browns.

With both Jurgens and starting center Ryan Kelly (concussion) out against Cleveland, Blake Brandel appears to be the next man up at the position.

Kelly (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Browns.

Kelly exited early last Sunday against the Steelers, and Michael Jurgens filled in at center, but Jurgens has also been ruled out against Cleveland due to a hamstring injury. Blake Brandel figures to draw the start in Week 5.
