Ridley (hip) will not practice Friday and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Cleveland, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.

Ridley and Elic Ayomanor have been splitting WR snaps alongside No. 1 receiver Carnell Tate and slot man Wan'Dale Robinson. If Ridley were to miss Sunday's game, Ayomanor presumably would take on more playing time.

Jackson (ankle) is practicing Friday, Brian Wacker of The Baltimore Sun reports.

After logging limited practice participation Wednesday and Thursday, Jackson's participation again Friday gives him a chance to return Sunday against Cincinnati. With the Ravens installed as 1.5-point favorites over the division-rival Bengals, oddsmakers seem to believe Jackson will play Week 7.

Warren (groin) was not practicing Friday, Nathan Brown of The Indianapolis Star reports.

With Warren now absent from practice again Friday after also missing the Colts' first two sessions of the week, his status for Sunday's game against the Vikings is in serious doubt. If he isn't available, Indianapolis would again be left to lean on Keenan Allen and Josh Downs in the passing game, while Will Mallory, Mo Alie-Cox, Drew Ogletree and Pharaoh Brown would likely all see snaps at tight end.

Packers coach Matt LaFleur said Jacobs is on track to play Sunday against the Lions, Rob Demovsky of ESPN reports.

Jacobs was removed from the exempt list Monday, and all signs point to the veteran running back making his 2026 season debut against Detroit. Green Bay's backfield production has been abysmal through six weeks, so Jacobs' return can only help the situation. Jordan Love's incredible pass volume could also take a hit with Jacobs returning to the lineup.

Montgomery (groin) will not play Sunday against the Giants, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Montgomery will miss a second straight game, and with Jawhar Jordan (quadriceps) injured on the practice squad after he was elevated for Week 6, the Texans will ride Woody Marks and special-teamer Dare Ogunbowale out of the backfield, with Marks likely to see virtually every meaningful carry versus New York.

Elliss (calf) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Steelers.

Elliss was limited earlier in the practice week and will return to the lineup after missing the previous three games. The 31-year-old linebacker has recorded 24 tackles (11 solo) and one pass breakup across three starts this season.

Watt (calf) practiced fully Friday and doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Saints.

Watt was limited by a calf injury Thursday, but he's good to go for Pittsburgh's Paris game against New Orleans. Through six games this season, the 32-year-old Watt has 15 tackles (10 solo), including 4.5 sacks, one forced fumble, one fumble recovery and a pick-six interception.

Irving (illness) is practicing Friday, Pewter Report reports.

An illness kept Irving out of Wednesday's practice and limited his participation Thursday. He'll likely be fine by Sunday when the Bucs face the Panthers.

Egbuka (concussion/foot) is practicing Friday, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.

Egbuka didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday, but there is still some chance he quickly makes his way through concussion protocol. The toe injury seems like less of a threat to his Week 7 availability this Sunday against Carolina.

Dolphins coach Jeff Hafley said Friday that Wright (foot) will play in Sunday's game against the Jets, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.

It remains to be seen if Wright will have a designation on the final injury report, but either way, it sounds like he's ready to play. He'll likely be the team's No. 2 RB behind Ollie Gordon, who has dominated backfield work since De'Von Achane suffered an ACL tear.
