Blount (concussion) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Saints, Dani Sureck of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Blount appeared to take a hit to the head late in the second quarter on a kickoff return. He will not return Sunday, and he'll have to pass the league's five-step concussion protocol in order to play Week 2 against the Panthers on Sunday, Sept. 14.

Sims (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Lions, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.

Sims will be in street clothes for Sunday's regular-season opener while Tucker Kraft, Luke Musgrave and John FitzPatrick serve as the Packers' active tight ends. Sims' next chance to make his 2025 regular-season debut is Thursday against the Commanders.

Wilson (head) has returned to Sunday's game against the Browns, Kelsey Conway of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Wilson has been cleared to return after he went to the locker room to be evaluated for a concussion. Wilson will come back at middle linebacker while Barrett Carter slides back to a rotational role.

Roberts (elbow) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Patriots.

Roberts injured his left elbow in the first quarter, and the issue is severe enough for him to miss the rest of Sunday's regular-season opener. With Roberts done for the day, Tommy Eichenberg will serve as the Raiders' middle linebacker the rest of the way.

Williams (hamstring) is listed as active Sunday against the Lions, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.

Williams has been battling a hamstring injury since mid-August, but after putting together a trio of three limited practices this week, the 2025 third-round pick will be available for his first NFL snap Sunday. Having said that, Green Bay's other wide receivers that were in the injury report -- Jayden Reed (foot) and Dontayvion Wicks (calf) -- also are active, so Williams may be on the outside looking in for snaps in a corps that includes rookie first-rounder Matthew Golden, Romeo Doubs and Malik Heath.

Winston (hamstring) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Broncos.

Winston was limited in practice all week due to a hamstring issue, and the rookie third-rounder will have to wait at least one more week to make his NFL regular-season debut. Quandre Diggs and Mike Brown will serve as the Titans' backup safeties behind Amani Hooker and Xavier Woods due to Winston's injury.

Brooks (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Rams.

The Texans will go with a four-man backfield that includes Nick Chubb, Dameon Pierce, Dare Ogunbowale and Woody Marks, which means Brooks will be in street clothes for Sunday's regular-season opener. Brooks' next chance to play is Week 2 against the Buccaneers on Monday, Sept. 15, though he's unlikely to play in that contest unless there's an injury in Houston's backfield.

Wicks (calf) is active for Sunday's game versus the Lions, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.

Wicks was sidelined for the entire preseason due to a calf injury, but after getting back on the practice field as of Aug. 27, he logged limited sessions during Week 1 prep, leaving his status in question for Sunday. With his availability now confirmed, he'll be among the wide receivers at the services of QB Jordan Love along with Jayden Reed (foot), rookie first-round pick Matthew Golden, Romeo Doubs, Savion Williams (hamstring) and Malik Heath.

Daniels (pectoral) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Colts, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Daniels suffered a pectoral injury in the first quarter, which is severe enough for him to not return Sunday. Kion Smith will serve as the Dolphins' right guard for the rest of the game due to Daniels' injury.

Parsons (back) is active for Sunday's contest against the Lions, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.

In his first game action as a Packer, Parsons is expected to have his workload monitored for a few reasons. First, he arrived in Green Bay via trade from Dallas on Aug. 28, giving him a little more than one week to get up to speed with a new defensive scheme. He also has been dealing with a joint sprain in his back that capped his practice reps during Week 1 prep. At the very least, defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley will deploy the versatile Parsons in clear pass-rush scenarios.
