Thomas (foot), who remains listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Chiefs, is planning to play, Ian Rapoport and Mike Garafolo of NFL Network report.

Thomas is recovering from a Lisfranc injury and didn't play in the Giants' first two games, but he's seemingly trending toward making his debut after a week of limited practices. The Giants are still keen on taking a cautious approach with the standout left tackle, whose availability ahead of the 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff will be determined based on his activity in a pregame workout. If Thomas is ultimately held out or is limited Sunday, Marcus Mbow or James Hudson would be the main candidates to replace him at left tackle.

Darrisaw (knee), who is officially listed as questionable, is expected to play Sunday against the Bengals, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Darrisaw has missed the Vikings' first two games of the season while completing his recovery from October 2024 surgery to address a torn ACL and MCL in his left knee, but he looks on track to make his 2025 debut after turning in full practices Wednesday and Friday. Assuming Darrisaw is cleared to play when Minnesota releases its inactive list 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff, the 26-year-old will likely start at left tackle, though Rapoport notes that his snaps could be managed to some extent.

Fiske (oblique), who is officially listed as questionable, is expected to play Sunday against the Eagles, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Fiske suffered an oblique injury during warmups of the Rams' Week 2 win over the Titans and played lighter snaps than usual in the contest, but he was able to practice in limited fashion Friday. The Rams apparently came away encouraged with how Fiske looked during practice, but he could be on a restricted snap count once again this Sunday. He's expected to be officially cleared to play when the Rams release their inactive list 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff.

The Seahawks elevated Wright from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday.

The Seahawks are likely to be without Zach Charbonnet (foot), who is officially listed as doubtful, for Sunday's game against New Orleans. That will leave George Holani as the second back on the depth chart, while Wright could be active and contribute primarily on special teams.

Matavao was waived by the Saints on Saturday.

Matavao was selected by the Saints in the seventh round of the 2025 NFL Draft, and he was originally able to crack the team's roster. He played a few snaps on special teams in Weeks 1 and 2, but he'll now be seeking a new opportunity around the league.

The Saints elevated Welch from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday.

Welch has been on the Saints' practice squad since the start of the 2024 season but has never been active for a regular-season game. That could change Sunday against the Seahawks.

The Saints signed Austin to the active roster Saturday.

Austin couldn't crack the Saints' final roster, but he has been on the practice squad since. He'll now get a chance to stick on the active roster, and he could be active Sunday against the Seahawks if either Devaughn Vele (hip) or Trey Palmer (hamstring) is unable to suit up.

The Broncos elevated Prentice from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday, Aric DiLalla of the team's official site reports.

Prentice has been active for the team's first two games of the season after also being elevated from the practice squad. He's played primarily on special teams but has also mixed in for a few offensive snaps and has one reception for four yards.

The Jets elevated Cook from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday, Eric Allen of the team's official site reports.

Cook has been with the Jets since signing with the team as an undrafted free agent. He's been on the practice squad to begin the season, but will get a chance to back up Tyrod Taylor in Week 3 against the Buccaneers, as Justin Fields (concussion) is sidelined.

The Jaguars elevated Morris from their practice squad Saturday ahead of Sunday's game versus the Texans.

Morris was elevated for last week's loss versus the Bengals as well but played exclusively on special teams and eded up recording one tackle. As all three of the tight ends on Jacksonville's active roster are currently healthy, Morris will likely be relegated to special teams work once again versus Houston.
