The Packers activated Riley (Achilles) from the active/PUP list Saturday.

Riley remains questionable to suit up for Sunday's contest against the Lions as he continues to acclimate to NFL physicality. If the defensive lineman can suit up, he will provide excellent rotational depth at nose tackle behind Chris McClellan.

Jacobs had his roster exemption removed by the Packers and is expected to play Sunday at Detroit, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

After missing the first six games of the season while on the commissioner's exempt list, Jacobs is now in line for his 2026 debut following a full week of drills. It remains to be seen what kind of workload he'll be able to handle off the bat, but he at least appears as if he'll be in the mix for RB reps along with MarShawn Lloyd, Pierre Strong and Kaleb Johnson on Sunday.

The Packers signed Owen from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday.

Owen was elevated for the Packers' Week 6 win over the Cowboys. The wide receiver played just three snaps on special teams in the contest and has likely earned a roster spot as a depth option while Skyy Moore (ankle) and Jayden Reed (neck) are on IR.

Wicks (ankle) has been ruled out for Monday's game versus the Cowboys.

Wicks wasn't able to practice in any capacity during Week 7 prep due to an ankle injury and thus will miss his first contest of the campaign. With DeVonta Smith (hamstring) also sidelined Monday, the Eaglges will rely on a receiving corps composed of Makai Lemon, Darius Cooper, Hollywood Brown, Elijah Moore and Britain Covey, though TE Dallas Goedert (knee) may end being the favorite target of QB Tanner McKee.

Walker (chest) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Rams, Ryan McFadden of ESPN.com reports.

Despite finishing Friday's practice session as a full participant with no injury designation, Walker has now been downgraded to questionable for Sunday's contest. The linebacker likely had a setback with his persistent chest injury, making it uncertain whether he will be able to suit up Sunday.

Barkley (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Cowboys.

Barkley followed up limited sessions Thursday and Friday with a full practice Saturday, but his status remains up in the air for Week 7 action. He's seeking his first game action since Week 4 as he tends to a lingering hamstring injury, something that'll be confirmed, one way or another, about 90 minutes before Monday's 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff.

Goedert (knee) was a full participant in Saturday's practice and does not carry an injury designation into Monday's game against the Cowboys.

After opening the week with two missed practices, the veteran tight end returned to full work Saturday, which was enough for him to fade an injury tag for Monday night's contest. Both DeVonta Smith (hamstring) and Dontayvion Wicks (ankle) have been ruled out, so Goedert and rookie wide receiver Makai Lemon should command the majority of targets from quarterback Tanner McKee. Goedert has a 12-99-0 receiving line on 17 targets over his last two games.

Smith (hamstring) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Cowboys.

Smith was unable to practice all week while nursing a hamstring injury, and the Eagles will be without both of their top wide receivers, as Dontayvion Wicks (ankle) has also been ruled out. Rookie Makai Lemon, Darius Cooper and Hollywood Brown figure to be the Eagles' top wideouts for Monday night's game, and tight end Dallas Goedert will be a go-to target for quarterback Tanner McKee due to the absences of both Smith and Wicks. Smith's next opportunity to play is Week 8 against the Commanders on Sunday, Nov. 1.

With Lamar Jackson (ankle) being downgraded to out, Huntley will be the Ravens' starting quarterback against the Bengals on Sunday.

Jackson initially drew the questionable tag after being limited in practice all week, but he has not recovered enough from a high-ankle sprain to make his return for Sunday's AFC North showdown. Huntley will start for a third consecutive game, and the veteran quarterback will face a Bengals defense that has given up only five touchdown passes (tied for third-fewest in the league) and ranks sixth in the NFL in sacks (17).

Jackson (ankle) has been downgraded to out for Sunday's game against the Bengals.

Jackson drew the questionable tag for Sunday's AFC North tilt after being a limited practice participant all week, but the superstar quarterback will end up missing a third consecutive game due to a high-ankle sprain. As a result, Tyler Huntley will once again start under center for the Ravens, and Jackson's next opportunity to play is Week 8 against the Bills on Sunday, Nov. 1.
