Brendel (hamstring) does not have an injury designation for Sunday's battle against the Rams, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

Brendel hurt his hamstring in Week 7 against Atlanta and missed San Francisco's subsequent two contests. However, he was able to log an LP/LP/FP practice progression this week and has been given clearance to return to action Sunday. Matt Hennessy has done a serviceable job filling in at center the past two weeks, but Brendel figures to retake his starting role against the Rams.

Hernandez (knee) is questionable for Sunday's matchup against Seattle, Tyler Drake of ArizonaSports.com reports.

Hernandez underwent knee surgery last fall and missed the first four weeks of this season while on IR. Since returning, Hernandez hasn't missed a game, and he's played every offensive snap since Week 6. It's unclear if Hernandez is dealing with lingering soreness from the surgery or if he's picked up a new issue, but if he doesn't play Sunday, Isaiah Adams could be asked to step in to start at right guard.

Jefferson (hamstring) does not have an injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup versus the Steelers, Eric Smith of the Chargers' official site reports.

Jefferson hurt his hamstring against the Vikings in Week 8. After sitting out this past Sunday's win against the Titans, the veteran defensive back logged limited practice sessions Wednesday and Thursday before upgrading to full participation Friday this week. Jefferson is thus set to return to action Sunday.

Becton (knee) doesn't have an injury designation ahead of Sunday's Week 10 matchup versus Pittsburgh, Eric Smith of the Chargers' official site reports.

Becton hurt his knee in Week 8 against Minnesota and missed this past Sunday's matchup versus Tennessee. However, he was able to log an LP/LP/FP practice progression this week to get cleared to return to action against the Steelers. Becton should thus move back into his starting role at right guard.

Cleveland (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's matchup versus Houston.

Cleveland hurt his knee this past Sunday against Las Vegas and wasn't able to practice at all this week. Rookie Wyatt Milum may get the opportunity to start at left guard in Cleveland's absence.

Howard (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Jaguars.

Howard entered the league's concussion protocol during the Texans' Week 9 loss to the Broncos. He was unable to practice all week before being ruled out for Sunday's AFC South clash, so Blake Fisher will likely start at right tackle in Howard's absence.

Ingram (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Jaguars.

Ingram injured his knee during the Texans' Week 9 loss to the Broncos. The injury prevented him from practicing all week, and the fourth-year pro will end up being sidelined for Sunday's AFC South tilt. Laken Tomlinson figures to start at right guard in Ingram's absence.

Harris (shin) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Jaguars.

A shin injury prevented Harris from practicing all week, and he will miss Sunday's AFC South tilt as a result. He's mostly worked on special teams this season, but his absence means Jake Hansen and Jamal Hill will serve as the backup outside linebackers for Houston behind E.J. Speed and Henry To'oTo'o.

Haynes (pectoral) is officially listed as out for Sunday's game versus the Cardinals, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.

Haynes was a full participant at practice all week, but he'll need to wait at least one more week to make his 2025 debut. Rookie sixth-rounder Bryce Cabeldue projects as Seattle's top backup at guard in the meantime.

Hart (knee/ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Steelers, Eric Smith of the Chargers' official site reports.

Hart was unable to practice all week due to knee and ankle injuries, which will prevent him from playing Sunday. Trey Pipkins will likely start at right tackle in Hart's absence.
