Zaccheaus (shoulder) is questionable for Sunday's game against the 49ers, Will McFadden of the Falcons' official site reports.

Zaccheaus practice reps were limited during Week 7 prep due to a shoulder issue, which he may have picked up during the Falcons' Week 6 loss to the Bears. If he cannot play Sunday, then rookie third-rounder Zachariah Branch would be in line for more work both on offense and on special teams as a returner, with running back Brian Robinson also in the mix for return duties.

Hawkins (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bengals, Cordell Woodland of 105.7 The Fan Baltimore reports.

Hawkins popped up on Wednesday's practice report as a limited participant due to a knee injury, which prevented him from practicing in each of the next two days. He won't play Sunday, and head coach Jesse Minter suggested Friday that Hawkins could be sidelined beyond Week 7. In Hawkins' absence, K'Von Wallace and Keondre Jackson figure to be the top candidates to start alongside Malaki Starks at safety.

Head coach Jesse Minter said Friday that Robinson will be sidelined for the rest of the 2026 season due to a pectoral injury, Cordell Woodland of 105.7 The Fan Baltimore reports.

Robinson was held out of practice all week, indicating that he may have picked up the injury during the Ravens' Week 6 loss to the Browns. The Ravens will likely place Robinson on injured reserve in the coming days in order to open up a spot on the 53-man roster, which they may fill with another edge rusher. The 2023 fourth-rounder is in the final year of his rookie contract and will be an unrestricted free agent in the offseason. He'll end the year with 18 tackles (nine solo), including 3.5 sacks, two pass defenses and one forced fumble over six regular-season games, and in his absence, The Ravens will rely more heavily on Zion Young, Ethan Burke and Mike Green.

McCollum (illness) does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Panthers, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.

McCollum opened the week as a DNP due to an illness, but he upgraded his practice participation over the next two days and has been cleared to play in Sunday's NFC South tilt. The fifth-year defensive back has 27 tackles (22 solo), seven pass defenses and one fumble recovery through six regular-season games.

Winfield (ribs) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Carolina, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.

Winfield was back on the field for practice for Week 7 prep and was a limited participant in all three sessions. However, he has not been given the green light to return Sunday, so his next chance to suit up is Week 8 against the Falcons on Sunday, Nov. 1. Ifeatu Melifonwu figures to once again start alongside Tykee Smith at safety in Winfield's absence.

Head coach John Harbaugh said Friday that Skattebo had a "good week" of practice and that the second-year running back should be back in the mix for backfield touches against the Texans on Sunday, Jordan Ranaan of ESPN.com reports.

Skattebo didn't log a single carry during the Giants' 34-27 loss to the Saints in Week 6, spending most of the game on the bench. That lack of production stemmed from his critical fumble during overtime against the Commanders in Week 5, but following the release of Najee Harris on Tuesday, Ranaan indicates that Skattebo is expected to reclaim a key role in the Giants' backfield this weekend alongside Tyrone Tracy, with Devin Singletary also in line for work.

Worthy will once again operate as the Chiefs' top wide receiver after Rashee Rice (hamstring/knee) was ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Seahawks, Pete Sweeney of The Kansas City Star reports.

It'll be the second consecutive game that Rice will be sidelined due to hamstring and knee injuries that he sustained in Week 4 against the Raiders. Worthy paced the Chiefs with seven catches on as many targets for 73 yards in a Week 6 win against the Chargers, and the third-year wideout once again will lead Kansas City's wide receiver group for Week 7, with Jalen Royals and rookie Cyrus Allen also in the mix for larger roles.

Wicks (ankle) didn't take part in Friday's practice.

With back-to-back DNPs to kick off Week 7 prep due to an ankle issue, Wicks has only one more opportunity to mix into drills Saturday before the Eagles potentially make a ruling on his status for Monday's contest against the Cowboys. Fellow WR DeVonta Smith (hamstring) also hasn't practiced this week, leaving Makai Lemon, Darius Cooper, Hollywood Brown, Elijah Moore and Britain Covey as the healthy options at the position on the active roster.

Phillips (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers.

Phillips aggravated a hamstring injury during the Panthers' Week 6 win over the Eagles. The injury prevented him from practicing during Week 7 prep, and his absence means Princely Umanmielen will likely start opposite Patrick Jones at the edge rusher position. Phillips' next chance to play is Thursday against the Packers at Lambeau Field.

Goedert (knee) was a non-participant at Friday's practice.

Goedert has yet to mix into drills this week due to a knee injury, which could be related to the right MCL sprain that sidelined him in Weeks 3 and 4. In any case, how he's listed on Saturday's practice report will provide a sense of his chances to play Monday against the Cowboys.
