Stewart (head) was cleared to return to Sunday's game against the Falcons, Mike Chappell of Fox 59 News Indianapolis reports.

Stewart was taken to the locker room early in the third quarter to be evaluated for a possible concussion, but he managed to clear tests from medical staff and was back on the field for the Colts at the end of the same frame. Stewart and Neville Gallimore will continue to operate as the Colts' two main defensive tackles due to the absence of DeForest Buckner (neck - IR).

Taylor will serve as the backup to starting quarterback Justin Fields in Sunday's game against the Browns, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

After coming on in relief of a struggling Fields in the Jets' Week 7 loss to the Panthers, Taylor appeared poised to take over as the team's starting quarterback in Week 8. However, Taylor emerged from the loss to the Panthers with a knee contusion, and after he wasn't able to advance beyond limited participation that week, the Jets stuck with Fields as their starter. Fields proceeded to turn in one of his best performances of the season as the Jets claimed their first win in a 39-38 victory over the Bengals, and he'll get the chance to build on that positive outing coming out of New York's Week 9 bye. Taylor was a full participant in practice throughout Week 10 and has moved past the injury, so the Jets likely won't hesitate to turn to him if Fields is unable to move the offense early on in Sunday's contest.

Renfrow (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Saints, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

The wide receiver is now a healthy scratch for the fourth consecutive week as Carolina continues to ride a receiving corps led by Tetairoa McMillan, Xavier Legette and Jalen Coker. Renfrow has 15 catches for 89 yards and two scores in six games this season.

Haggard (shoulder) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Patriots, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

Despite the extra rest courtesy of the Week 9 bye and his full practice participation during Week 10 prep, Haggard's shoulder injury is severe enough for him to miss a third consecutive game. With Haggard and Elijah Klein (coach's decision) both inactive, Michael Jordan will get the start at right guard Sunday.

Tremayne (hip) is inactive for Sunday's matchup with the Saints, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

The wide receiver popped up on the injury report Thursday, when had to miss practice, but he upgraded to full participation the next day. With Hunter Renfrow a healthy scratch for Sunday, the Panthers are riding with Tetairoa McMillan, Xavier Legette, Jalen Coker, Jimmy Horn and Dan Chisena as their wide receivers. Tremayne has 10 catches for 116 yards and no touchdowns on the year.

Goedeke (foot) is active for Sunday's game against the Patriots, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

Goedeke was activated from injured reserve Saturday and has been cleared to return from a foot injury that has sidelined him since Week 2. He should reclaim his starting job at right tackle while Charlie Heck reverts to a reserve role.

Jackson (concussion) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Ravens.

Jackson logged limited sessions in both Thursday and Friday's practices, but was likely unable to clear the league's concussion protocol in time for Sunday's contest. With the starting slot corner absent Tavierre Thomas, Jay Ward, or Dwight McGlothern will have to step up for a tough matchup with a rallying Ravens squad.

Njoku's fellow tight end Harold Fannin (hamstring) is active for Sunday's game against the Jets, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Fannin missed practice Thursday but returned to a limited session Friday before being deemed 'questionable' for Sunday's contest. With his availablity confirmed, the Browns will have their top two tight ends available versus New York, a timeshare that has kept both players on the fantasy radar. In eight games, Fannin leads his team in catches (38) and receiving yards (352) on 51 targets, to go along with two touchdowns, while Njoku has recorded 27 catches for 260 yards (second on the Browns in both categories) on 41 targets, with a pair of TDs in seven contests.

Bresee (back) is active for Sunday's game against the Panthers.

A back injury limited Bresee's practice participation Thursday and Friday, but the third-year pro has been cleared to play Week 10 after going through pregame warmups. The 2023 first-rounder has accumulated 21 tackles (seven solo), including 1.5 sacks, three pass defenses and one forced fumble through nine regular-season games.

Bryant (shoulder) is active for Sunday's game against the Jaguars.

The 27-year-old received the questionable tag due to a shoulder injury, but his full practice Friday put him on track to be available for Sunday's divisional matchup. Bryant has just two catches for seven yards this year and should continue to operate as Houston's No. 2 tight end behind starter Dalton Schultz.
