Beck (back) is inactive but will serve as the emergency third quarterback against the Broncos on Sunday, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Beck was unable to practice Thursday and Friday due to back spasms. He's inactive for Sunday's contest, but as the emergency third quarterback, he would be allowed to play in the event that both Jacoby Brissett and Gardner Minshew left the game due to injury, illness or ejection.

Coleman (ankle) is listed as active Sunday at Arizona, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

The Broncos placed Coleman on injured reserve just before Week 3 due to a sprained ankle, and with four absences under his belt after Week 6, the team designated him for return Wednesday. He then logged three consecutive full practices this week before being tagged as questionable Friday and being activated from IR on Saturday. Now that Coleman is in the clear to play in Week 7, his role may be muted with both J.K. Dobbins and RJ Harvey healthy at the moment.

Locke (foot) has been downgraded from questionable to out for Monday's game against the Eagles.

Locke's 21-day practice window opened Friday, and he was a limited participant in each of the last two practices of Week 7 prep. He's in the final stages of his recovery from a foot injury, but he's not quite ready to be activated from IR. His next opportunity to play is Week 8 against the Cardinals on Sunday, Nov. 1.

Liufau (forearm) has been downgraded from questionable to out ahead of Monday night's game against the Eagles.

Liufau was designated to return from injured reserve Thursday and was a full practice participant Friday and Saturday. That was enough for him to draw the questionable tag, but the third-year pro has not progressed enough in his recovery from a broken left forearm. Given his ability to practice without restrictions, Liufau has a good chance of being activated from IR for Week 8 against the Cardinals on Nov. 1.

Vele caught all five of his targets for 54 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 16-10 loss to the Steelers.

The third-year wideout was on the other end of Tyler Shough's only TD pass of the day, hauling in a one-yard toss in the second quarter for the Saints' final points. Vele tied his career high with his third touchdown of the season, and his 33-348-3 line on 48 targets through seven games has him tracking toward a career-best campaign heading into a Week 8 bye. His role could shrink significantly after the bye, however, if rookie Jordyn Tyson (hamstring) is cleared to make his NFL debut.

Boswell made each of his three field-goal attempts and his lone extra-point try in a 16-10 victory over the Saints on Sunday in Paris.

Boswell opened Sunday's contest with a 28-yard chip shot early in the first quarter before connecting on field goals from 47 and 39 yards in the second and third, respectively. It's the third time this season that he has made at least three field goals, and through seven regular-season games, he is 16-for-20 on field-goal attempts (including 4-for-6 on kicks from 50-plus yards) and 13-for-13 on extra-point tries. The Steelers will return home for a Week 8, AFC North showdown against the Browns on Nov. 1.

Kamara carried the ball six times for five yards and caught all seven of his targets for 57 yards in Sunday's 16-10 loss to the Steelers.

The Saints' ground game was completely shut down, as quarterback Tyler Shough led the team with a mere seven rushing yards, but Kamara still contributed through the air and led New Orleans in catches while tying Barion Brown for the game high in receiving yards. Since missing the season opener, Kamara has put together 258 scrimmage yards and three total TDs (two rushing, one receiving) over six games, but the backfield could get more crowded after a Week 8 bye if Travis Etienne (hamstring) is cleared to return.

Carlson went 1-for-2 on field-goal attempts and made his lone extra-point try during Sundays' 16-10 loss to the Steelers in Paris.

Carlson connected on a 38-yard field goal early in the second quarter, but his 52-yarder in the fourth missed wide right and gave the Steelers the ball back with good field position. He's missed one kick in each of his last five games, and head coach Kellen Moore told reporters after Sunday's contest that "it's fair to evaluate" Carlson's kicking issues to open the season, per Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com. The Saints will be on a bye for Week 8, so the team could bring in another kicker to compete with Carlson before their next game in Week 9 against the Browns on Sunday, Nov. 8.

Tracy left Sunday's game at Houston due to a hamstring injury, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

Tracy made his way off the field slowly with 5:29 left in the second quarter and was deemed questionable to return not long afterward. At the time of his exit, he had six carries for 15 yards and one touchdown and one catch (on one target) for two yards. Cam Skattebo and Devin Singletary will handle the Giants backfield for as long as Tracy is sidelined.

Shough completed 30 of 38 passes for 278 yards and one touchdown with one interception in Sunday's 16-10 loss to the Steelers. He added seven rushing yards on three carries.

With the Saints' ground game getting absolutely nowhere -- Shough actually led the team in rushing yards -- the second-year QB had to air it out frequently once again, but the volume didn't result in much production. Shough will head into a Week 8 bye averaging 39 pass attempts a game -- the fourth-highest mark in the league behind Matthew Stafford, Dak Prescott and Bryce Young -- to go along with a 13:6 TD:INT and 1,721 passing yards.
