Stout (shoulder) is active for Sunday's game against the Falcons, Brooke Evans of the 49ers' official site reports.

Stout is nursing an AC sprain in his shoulder, but the second-year defensive back has been given the green light to play in Sunday's contest. He has 18 tackles (11 solo), including 0.5 sacks, and one pass defense through the first six games of the regular season.

Dalton (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the 49ers, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

Dalton is a healthy scratch for Sunday's contest as he continues to ramp up his participation in the Falcons' offense. The quarterback joined the team after being cut by the Eagles on Oct. 9. Jack Strand (coach's decision) will be the inactive QB behind Michael Penix and Tua Tagovailoa for Week 7 against the 49ers.

Gay (illness) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Jets.

Gay popped up on Thursday's practice report as a DNP due to an illness. He was able to return to practice Friday in a limited capacity, but his illness is severe enough for him to be sidelined for Sunday's AFC East tilt. Jackson Woodward and Shaka Heyward are the top candidates to start alongside Jordyn Brooks and Jacob Rodriguez at linebacker. Gay's next opportunity to play is Week 8 against the Patriots on Nov. 1.

Estime (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Titans.

Estime carried nine times for 19 yards and a touchdown in his 2026 debut during last week's win over the Ravens, but he'll be in street clothes Sunday while the Browns welcome Quinshon Judkins (ankle) and Dylan Sampson (knee) back from injuries. So long as Judkins, Sampson and Jaleel McLaughlin are all available for Cleveland, Estime could remain a fixture on the inactive list in the weeks to come.

Zaccheaus (shoulder) is inactive for Sunday's game against the 49ers, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

Zaccheaus battled a shoulder injury throughout Week 7 prep, logging limited practice participation in all three sessions. The wide receiver ultimately lost the battle and will need additional time to recover from the injury, leaving Zachariah Branch as the Falcons' No. 3 wide receiver for Sunday's contest against the 49ers.

Williams (neck) is active for Sunday's game against Tennessee.

Williams was limited in Friday's practice, an upgrade from his inactivity both Wednesday and Thursday. That was enough for him to draw the questionable tag for Week 7, and the veteran linebacker has been cleared by medical staff after going through pregame warmups. Williams has tallied at least six total tackles in four of his last five games.

Ward (hand) is active for Sunday's game against the Titans.

Ward popped up on Friday's injury report due to a hand injury, logging a limited session in the process. A late addition to the injury report isn't typically a good sign, but the veteran cornerback has been given the green light to play in Sunday's road game. Ward has 25 tackles (15 solo), three pass defenses (including one interception) and two forced fumbles through six regular-season games.

Adams (ankle) is active for Sunday's game against the Browns.

Adams upgraded to full participation in Friday's practice after starting the week limited with an ankle injury he sustained in Week 6. The reserve safety is set to suit up and play through the injury for the Titans' Week 7 matchup with the Browns.

Dillon (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, Darin Gantt of the team's official site reports.

After an ankle injury kept Dillon from playing in a Week 6 win over the Eagles, he was a full participant in practices Wednesday through Friday and avoided an injury designation for Sunday's contest. Dillon will wind up on the inactive list for a second straight game, however, with Carolina moving forward with Trevor Etienne and Anthony Tyus as its backup options behind lead back Chuba Hubbard. Both Etienne and Tyus offer more utility on special teams than Dillon, who hadn't been offering much of an impact on offense with 17 carries for 43 yards (2.5 average) and two catches for three yards over his four appearances on the season.

Winston (quadriceps) is active for Sunday's game against the Browns.

Winston logged a full practice session Friday, overcoming his quad injury after missing consecutive sessions to start Week 7 prep. The free safety will do the same for Sunday's game, suiting up alongside strong safety Amani Hooker.
