Omenihu (groin/ankle) is active for Sunday night's contest against the Eagles.

Omenihu will return to action in Week 8 after missing two straight contests with a pair of groin and ankle injuries. The 29-year-old will be back in a prominent role on the defensive line versus Philadelphia.

Henry (foot) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game at Miami.

Henry exited in the first half of this Week 8 matchup and eventually was ruled out midway through the fourth quarter, ending it with three catches (on three targets) for 30 yards. Eli Raridon will act as the Patriots' top pass-catching tight end for as long as Henry is sidelined.

Kaliakmanis (coach's decision) is inactive but serving as the Commanders' emergency third quarterback Sunday night against the Eagles.

Kaliakmanis will operate as QB3 behind Jayden Daniels and Marcus Mariota in Week 8. He'll only be eligible to play if both Daniels and Mariota are forced out of the contest.

Ferguson suffered a low-ankle sprain during Sunday's loss to the Cardinals, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN reports.

Ferguson picked up an ankle injury on the Cowboys' first drive of the game and eventually was ruled out after halftime. He thus finished Week 8 without a target, making it his second contest in a row with no catches in the box score. Low-ankle sprains typically can be played through, but Ferguson's status will be watched to get a sense of his potential to suit up next Sunday at Indianapolis.

Bates (shoulder) is active for Sunday night's matchup with the Eagles.

Bates was dealing with a shoulder injury throughout the week, but he'll ultimately be able to give it a go for Sunday Night Football. He'll operate as a depth option behind Chig Okonkwo and Ben Sinnott at tight end versus Philadelphia.

Burks (foot) is listed as active Sunday versus the Eagles.

Burks first dealt with a sore foot at the start of training camp, played through a shoulder injury in Week 6 and then sandwiched two limited sessions around Thursday's DNP due to a foot issue. It's unclear if the current concern is related to the previous one from three months ago, but he entered the weekend listed as questionable. Adam Schefter of ESPN reported Sunday morning that Burks is expected to suit up, and he indeed avoided the Commanders' inactive list. With Terry McLaurin (knee) and Jaylin Lane (ankle) out for the season, Burks has a chance for regular WR reps moving forward alongside Antonio Williams, Dyami Brown and Luke McCaffrey behind top option Stefon Diggs.

Woods (neck) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's contest against the Broncos.

Woods went down with a neck injury early in the contest, and his night has now officially come to a premature end. Woods will now shift his focus towards being ready to go for the team's Week 9 matchup with the Jets.

Jacas (knee) is questionable to return to Sunday's contest against Miami, Doug Kyed of the Boston Herald reports.

Jacas suffered a knee injury in the second half, and he may now be forced to miss the final stretch of the game. In his absence, Elijah Ponder and Dre'Mont Jones will operate as the team's two primary options at outside linebacker versus the Dolphins.

McBride hauled in seven of eight targets for 72 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's 33-30 overtime victory at Dallas.

The Cardinals offense experienced a QB change from Jacoby Brissett to Gardner Minshew late in the third quarter, but McBride was undeterred, extending his streak of seven-plus catches to eight consecutive contests to begin the season while also scoring his fifth TD of 2026 on a 14-yard connection with Minshew with 2:11 remaining in regulation. Overall, McBride has a 66-544-5 line on 86 targets just shy of the midpoint of the campaign, putting him on pace to surpass most of his career-high marks (126-1,239-11 on 169 targets) from a season ago. It's unclear who between Brissett and Minshew will be under center next Sunday at Seattle, but McBride and WR Michael Wilson (ribs), assuming the latter suits up, will be the top options in the passing game.

Brown rushed 12 times for 55 yards and brought in eight of nine targets for 46 yards in the Bengals' 43-36 overtime win over the Titans on Sunday. He also lost a fumble.

Brown led the Bengals in rushing with an efficient performance, and he finished with his best yardage total on the ground since Week 3. Brown's very busy day as a receiver was second only to his 11-catch, 71-yard effort against the Jaguars in Week 4, and his lost fumble, his second of the season, came early in the fourth quarter and did lead to a Titans touchdown. Brown is in line to fill his usual voluminous dual role in a Week 9 international matchup against the Falcons in Madrid next Sunday.
