Robinson (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the 49ers, Will McFadden of the Falcons' official site reports.

Robinson made a surprise appearance on the Falcons' first Week 7 practice report Wednesday as limited due to a hamstring injury, but he capped the week with back-to-back DNPs and thus will miss his first game of the season Sunday. Atlanta will need to bring up Khalil Herbert from the practice squad Saturday to provide support behind top RB Bijan Robinson this weekend.

Rice (hamstring/knee) was not present during the portion of Friday's practice open to the media, Pete Sweeney of The Kansas City Star reports.

Rice hasn't practiced since going down with his hamstring injury in Week 4 against the Raiders, so he's going to miss Sunday's game against the Seahawks. Xavier Worthy, Jalen Royals, Cyrus Allen and Nikko Remigio are on the 53-man roster at wide receiver, but the Chiefs elevated both Andrew Armstrong and Justin Watson last Sunday against the Chargers.

Irving (illness) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game at Carolina, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.

Irving returned to practice Thursday as a limited participant before upgrading to full participation Friday. With WR Emeka Egbuka (concussion) ruled out and QB Baker Mayfield (thumb) returning from a three-game absence, Irving should see the ball early and often this Sunday.

Mayfield (thumb) was a full participant in Friday's practice but is listed questionable for Sunday's game against the Panthers, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.

Coach Todd Bowles already said earlier Friday that Mayfield is good to go for Week 7, so it would be a shock if the veteran quarterback isn't under center Sunday. It will be Mayfield's first action since Week 3 against the Vikings. Jalon Daniels will head back to QB2 duties once Mayfield is officially cleared.

Egbuka (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Panthers, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.

Buccaneers coach Todd Bowles said Egbuka was doubtful to play, but the official designation is more definitive. Chris Godwin, Ted Hurst and Tez Johnson figure to take most of the WR snaps this Sunday at Carolina.

Warren (groin) is ruled out for Sunday's game against the Vikings, FOX59's Mike Chappell reports.

After missing practice throughout the week, Warren will sit out a second straight game. Will Mallory figures to take over as the team's top pass catcher at tight end, with Mo Alie-Cox and Drew Ogletree also having roles.

Egbuka (concussion) is doubtful for Sunday's game against the Panthers, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.

Egbuka is still working his way through the league's concussion protocol, so Tampa Bay appears set to head into Week 7 with Chris Godwin, rookie Ted Hurst and Tez Johnson leading the wideout corps. Cade Otton could also see a bump in targets with Egbuka out of the picture.

Mayfield (right thumb) is cleared to play Sunday at Carolina, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.

After missing Tampa Bay's last three games with a dislocated right thumb, Mayfield will return to action against a Carolina team that's 2.5 games ahead of Tampa Bay in the NFC South standings. With wideout Emeka Egbuka (concussion/toe) listed as doubtful, Mayfield will likely look to Chris Godwin, Ted Hurst and Tez Johnson as his top targets at wide receiver.

Kmet is believed to have suffered a serious right knee injury in Thursday night's win over the Patriots, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

That was obvious when he was immediately carted off the field late in the fourth quarter. Kmet has appeared in all seven games this season, recording 10 catches for 87 yards and a touchdown on 14 targets. His loss will be felt immensely in the blocking department, where he handles most of those duties to free up Colston Loveland to run routes. Sam Roush will be next up at the position for Chicago.

Richardson was charged with misdemeanor possession of marijuana in Carmel, Indiana earlier this week, Tyler Haughn of FOX 59 reports.

It means very little, and Richardson will likely face no punishment from the NFL. He'll continue to serve as Daniel Jones' backup.
