Phillips (ribs) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game versus Tampa Bay.

Phillips was limited in practice earlier in the week but has been cleared to play in the Week 1 opener. He appeared in 16 regular-season games last season, logging 35 tackles (27 solo), five pass breakups, including one interception, two forced fumbles and one fumble recovery. He's expected to be the top backup cornerback on the outside behind starters A.J. Terrell and Mike Hughes.

Calcaterra wasn't targeted in Thursday's 24-20 win over the Cowboys.

Jalen Hurts peppered starting tight end Dallas Goedert with a team-high seven targets, but there was no action left over in the passing game for Calcaterra and Kylen Granson. On the bright side, Calcaterra was on the field for 59 percent of Philadelphia's offensive snaps, behind Goedert's 83 percent but well ahead of Granson's 27 percent. It would likely take an injury to Goedert for Calcaterra to gain any fantasy relevance in 2025.

Hellams (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game versus Tampa Bay.

A seventh-round pick in 2023, Hellams appeared in 15 regular-season games as a rookie before missing all of 2024 with an ankle injury.

Sneed (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Broncos, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Sneed has been limited in practice this week, and while it sounds like he has a chance to play, coach Brian Callahan said Sneed will not be able to play an every-down role in the Denver altitude, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports. Sneed missed all but five regular-season games due to injuries last season, his first with Tennessee.

Metchie wasn't targeted and had a 20-yard kickoff return in Thursday's 24-20 win over the Cowboys.

Metchie played just one snap on offense while Jahan Dotson led the team with 59 receiving yards, suggesting that Dotson has a firm grasp on the third spot on the wide receiver depth chart over the trade acquisition from Houston. Metchie got a chance to contribute in the return game on special teams in the second half after kick returner Will Shipley (ribs) exited in the first half.

Coleman (groin) said Friday that he isn't concerned about his status for Sunday's game against Baltimore, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.

Coleman is scheduled for limited practice participation Friday, the same as Thursday and Wednesday. He may have an injury status for the game but apparently isn't worried about missing it. Coleman, Joshua Palmer and Khalil Shakir figure to take the vast majority of snaps Sunday night, unless Coleman suffers an end-of-week setback.

Dorsett signed with the Raiders' practice squad Friday.

Dorsett spent the summer with Las Vegas but was part of the team's cuts late last month. Now 32 years old, Dorsett hasn't appeared in a regular-season game since 2023 with the Broncos.

Garrett (hip) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's Week 1 game against the Bengals, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.

Garrett missed practice Thursday but will be all systems go for Sunday's Week 1 opener against the division-rival Bengals. The four-time first-team All-Pro has double-digit sacks in seven straight seasons after logging 47 tackles (40 solo), including 14.0 sacks, and three forced fumbles across 17 regular-season starts in 2024.

The Patriots ruled out Gonzalez (hamstring) for Sunday's game against the Raiders, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.

Gonzalez hasn't practiced since going down with a hamstring strain early in training camp. With New England down its top cornerback against Las Vegas, Alex Austin, DJ James, Craig Woodson and potentially Charles Woods (concussion) will have to step into elevated roles opposite Carlton Davis.

Baker signed with Philadelphia's practice squad Friday.

Baker failed to make New England's 53-man roster in 2025 after a disappointing rookie season in which the 2024 fourth-round pick had just one catch. It would probably take an injury to one of the five healthy wide receivers on Philadelphia's 53-man roster for Baker to get a chance with the Eagles.
