Abdullah (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Ravens, Will McFadden of the Falcons' official site reports.

Abdullah was held out of practice all week due to a hamstring injury and will not suit up Sunday, leaving Cameron Thomas and Jared Ivey as the top rotational options on the edge. Abdullah's next chance to play is Week 6 against the Bears on Sunday, Oct. 18.

Zuhn (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Patriots, Paul Gutierrez of Raiders.com reports.

Zuhn suffered a knee injury in the first half of the Raiders' Week 4 loss to the Chiefs and did not return to the contest. The reserve offensive lineman has now been ruled out of Week 5 due to the injury, and it is unclear how much time he will miss.

Elliott (quadriceps) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Packers.

Elliott missed the Bears' last two practices while tending to a quad injury, which will prevent him from playing in Sunday's NFC North contest. The rookie fifth-rounder has contributed solely on special teams this season, but his absence means Jack Sanborn will be the top depth option at linebacker behind starters D'Marco Jackson, T.J. Edwards and Devin Bush. Elliott's next chance to play is Week 6 against the Falcons on Sunday, Oct. 18.

Woods (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Raiders.

The Patriots' secondary is already without starting outside corners Christian Gonzalez (shoulder) and Carlton Davis (neck), so having Woods available for Sunday's game would be a big help for New England. Woods has 18 tackles (14 solo) and one pass defense through four regular-season games.

Wright (concussion) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Vikings, Emily Leiker of The Minnesota Star Tribune reports.

Wright was limited in Thursday's practice after being placed in the league's concussion protocol. The offensive lineman was downgraded to a DNP on Friday and has been ruled out of Sunday's contest as he recovers from the head injury.

Prunty (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Las Vegas.

Prunty didn't practice all week due to a hamstring injury, which he likely picked up during the Patriots' Week 4 win over the Bills. The rookie fifth-rounder's next chance to play is Week 6 against the Jets on Sunday, Oct. 18, but his absence means the Patriots will have one less contributor on special teams.

Canada (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Raiders.

Canada will be sidelined by a hamstring injury for a second consecutive game, and his next opportunity to return is Week 6 against the Jets on Sunday, Oct. 18. Injuries have decimated the Patriots' secondary, which will also be without Christian Gonzalez (shoulder), Carlton Davis (neck) and Karon Prunty (hamstring).

Jennings (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Vikings, Emily Leiker of The Minnesota Star Tribune reports.

Jennings has been unable to practice since sustaining a knee injury in the Saints' Week 3 loss to the Raiders. The linebacker will now miss consecutive games due to the injury, leaving Myles Cole as the primary rotational pass rusher behind starters Chase Young and Carl Granderson.

Demmings (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Saints.

Demmings was able to log two-straight limited practices to end Week 5 prep. However, the rookie fifth-rounder will miss a second consecutive game due to a hamstring injury he picked up against the Buccaneers in Week 3. Demmings has mostly contributed on special teams this season, but his absence leaves Zemaiah Vaughn as the top rotational option at cornerback behind James Pierre and Isaiah Rodgers. The Vikings are on a bye for Week 6, so Demmings' next chance to play is Week 7 against the Colts on Sunday, Oct. 25.

O'Neill (knee) is questionable against the Saints on Sunday.

O'Neill was limited in practice all week by a knee injury, which earned him the questionable tag for Sunday's road game. Christian Darrisaw (concussion) has already been ruled out, so Ryan Van Demark and Caleb Tiernan could be the Vikings' starting offensive tackles if O'Neill is unable to play.
