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.

Nwangwu (knee) is inactive against the Dolphins on Sunday.

Nwangwu drew the questionable tag for Sunday's game after logging a full practice Friday. However, the sixth-year pro has not been cleared by medical staff to play, so Isaiah Williams will operate as the primary returner on both punts and kickoffs. Nwangu's next opportunity to suit up is Week 8 against the Raiders on Nov. 1.

Haener is inactive Week 7 against the Texans but is listed as the Giants' emergency quarterback, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Haener will resume the same role he's had since his October signing in which he'll only be able to take the field if both J.J. McCarthy and Jameis Winston go down due to injury, illness, or ejection.

Allen will remain the Jets' No. 1 back for Sunday's Week 7 matchup against the Dolphins, as Breece Hall has been declared inactive for the contest.

With Hall unavailable for a fourth straight game Sunday, Allen will have a chance to build on the averages of 18.3 rush attempts, 84.3 rushing yards, 1.7 receptions and 11.3 receiving yards he's generated in the lead role over his teammate's first three absences. Despite their winless record, the Dolphins have been respectable defending the run, allowing 4.0 yards per carry to running backs, albeit while also conceding a 25-197-5 receiving line to the position.

Boettcher (groin) is inactive against the Vikings on Sunday.

Boettcher strung together a DNP-FP-DNP practice log during Week 7 prep due to a groin injury, but he has not been cleared by medical staff to play Sunday. Germaine Pratt, Austin Ajiake and Tahj Chambers are all in line for more defensive snaps in the absence of Boettcher, whose next chance to play is Week 8 against the Jaguars on Nov. 1.

Eluemunor (calf) is active Week 7 against the Texans, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Eluemunor managed just a pair of limited practices this week, but the veteran tackle will ultimately be available for a Giants team that has both Marcus Mbow (knee) and Josh Sills (coach's decision) on the inactive list Sunday.

Stewart (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Ravens.

Stewart comes out of the bye week as a healthy scratch after playing consecutive games before the Bengals' break. The 2025 first-rounder has struggled so far in his career and has been the target of many trade rumors as the deadline approaches. The team may be protecting the defensive end's health if they plan to deal him soon.

Leonard (coach's decision) is inactive but will serve as the Colts' emergency third quarterback against the Vikings on Sunday.

Leonard will continue to serve as the team's emergency QB3, and as such, he is prohibited from playing Sunday unless both Daniel Jones and Anthony Richardson are removed from the game due to injury, illness or ejection.

Nubin (neck) is active Week 7 against the Texans, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

After missing Week 6, Nubin will retake the field against Houston following a week of limited practices. Presumably in line to start, Nubin has recorded three or more combined tackles in each of the four games he has appeared in this year.

Gardner (calf) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Vikings.

The decision doesn't come as much of a surprise, given that Gardner is considered week-to-week due to a calf injury that he picked up during the Colts' Week 6 loss to the Titans. Cam Taylor-Britt will likely start opposite Charvarius Ward at outside cornerback in the absence of Gardner, whose next chance to play is Week 8 against the Jaguars on Nov. 1.
