Turpin (ribs) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Eagles, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

Turpin was held out of practice all week due to a rib injury that he picked up against the Packers this past Sunday. He'll miss his first game of the regular season, and his absence means Tyler Goodson and Jonathan Mingo will likely serve as the Cowboys' returners on kickoffs and punts. Turpin's next opportunity to play is Week 8 against the Cardinals on Sunday, Nov. 1.

Carter (abdomen) has been ruled out to play the Cowboys on Monday Night Football in Week 7.

Carter suffered an injury to his abdomen in Week 5 and hasn't practiced since. He's set to miss his second straight contest, and his next opportunity to suit up will come Sunday, Nov. 1, against Washington. Carter played primarily on special teams during Philadelphia's first two games of the campaign but had built up to a bigger role Weeks 3-5 before getting hurt.

Smith (concussion) has been ruled out for Monday's matchup against Dallas.

Smith suffered a concussion last Sunday against Carolina and was unable to practice this week. He remains in the NFL's concussion protocol and won't be able to suit up again on game day until he's cleared by an independent neurologist. Both Jonathan Greenard (ankle) and Jalyx Hunt (ankle/knee) are questionable for Monday, and Arnold Ebiketie will likely be asked to step into a starting role with at least Smith guaranteed to be sidelined.

Stowers (quadriceps), who is on injured reserve, is officially questionable to play Monday against Dallas.

After being drafted in the second round of April's NFL Draft, Stowers hurt his hamstring during preseason play and began the campaign on IR. The Eagles opened his 21-day practice window Oct. 14, and the rookie practiced in full all three days this week. Both Stowers and fellow tight end Grant Calcaterra (back) could be ready to return from IR ahead of Monday's matchup, but for that to happen, they'd need to be activated to the 53-man roster at some point this weekend.

Calcaterra, who is on injured reserve due to a back injury, is questionable to suit up Monday versus Dallas.

Calcaterra has yet to play this season because of a back injury he suffered during the preseason. Philadelphia opened his 21-day practice window Oct. 14, and the tight end was able to practice in full all three days this week. Since Calcaterra is on IR, he'd need to be activated to the 53-man roster Sunday in order to be eligible to play Monday.

The Seahawks waived Foster on Saturday.

Foster has been a healthy scratch for the Seahawks since Week 2. The team decided to waive the wide receiver to make room for Anthony Bradford (knee) to return to the 53-man roster from IR. Foster played in one game for the Seahawks, logging six snaps on special teams for no box score output. The 25-year-old will now be subject to waivers, and if he clears, he will become a free agent and can sign with any organization.

The Ravens placed Robinson (pectoral) on injured reserve Saturday.

Robinson suffered a season-ending pectoral injury during the Ravens' Week 6 loss to the Browns. The outside linebacker will spend the rest of 2026 on IR, allowing the Ravens to carry more depth on the offensive line. The team signed offensive guard Kyle Hergel from the practice squad to the active roster in a corresponding move.

The Broncos activated Coleman (ankle) from injured reserve Saturday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

Coleman is still questionable for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, but his activation off IR indicates that he is on track to appear in his first contest since Week 2 against the Jaguars. With Tyler Badie (thumb) on injured reserve, Coleman will slot into the RB3 spot behind J.K. Dobbins and RJ Harvey, and Coleman should also be in the mix for return duties on kickoffs.

The 49ers activated Kirk (calf) from injured reserve and removed his questionable designation for Sunday's game in Atlanta.

Kirk suffered a calf injury in the early stages of training camp in late July and kicked off the season on injured reserve with a designation to return. San Francisco opened his practice window Thursday, Oct. 15, but the team didn't activate him ahead of this past Monday's win against the Commanders. After practicing fully Wednesday through Friday this week, though, he's now in the clear to make his 49ers debut Sunday. With Mike Evans (ribs/Achilles) and Deebo Samuel (hamstring) out for Week 7 and three other wide receivers on IR, Kirk will have a good chance to work as the top WR in a receiving corps that includes healthy options Brandin Cooks, Jordan Watkins and Jacob Cowing.

The Lions activated Branch (Achilles) from injured reserve Saturday.

Branch no longer holds any injury designation and appears all set to suit up for the Lions' game against the Packers on Sunday. The strong safety has finished recovering from the Achilles tear he sustained in early December of 2025, just in time for a divisional showdown that could be key in determining the final standings of the AFC North.
