Kraft (knee) won't return to Sunday's game against the Panthers.

Kraft injured his right knee when he was rolled up on while blocking during a 15-yard run from Josh Jacobs in the third quarter. Kraft will finish Week 9 action with two catches (on three targets) for 20 yards. The severity of the issue isn't known, but John FitzPatrick and Luke Musgrave figure to take on larger roles if Kraft is forced to miss any time.

Seumalo has a pectoral injury and is out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Colts, Ray Fittipaldo of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

The starting left guard exited Pittsburgh's Week 8 loss to Green Bay with a pec issue and didn't practice until Friday this past week. Spencer Anderson is his backup.

Gray (hamstring) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Texans, Parker Gabriel of The Denver Post reports.

Gray may have sustained the injury on special teams, which is severe enough for him to not return to Sunday's game. The injury could impact his availability for the Broncos' Week 10 contest against the Raiders on Thursday.

Arnold is questionable to return to Sunday's Week 9 tilt against Minnesota due to a back injury, Kimberley A. Martin of ESPN reports.

Arnold notched his first career pickoff late in the second quarter, but he exited during the second half with a back issue. Rock Ya-Sin has entered the game at cornerback in Arnold's stead.

Decker (knee) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Vikings.

Decker was able to leave the field under his own power, and his knee is being evaluated by medical staff in the locker room to determine whether he can return to Sunday's contest. Dan Skipper has entered the game at left tackle following Decker's exit.

Elliss (hip) won't return to Sunday's matchup versus Atlanta, Taylor Kyles of CLNSMedia.com reports.

Elliss was hurt late in the second quarter and was ruled out during the third period. Prior to getting hurt, he tallied five tackles, three of which came on special teams. Jahlani Tavai and Jack Gibbens are in line for increased defensive snaps in Elliss' absence.

Perine (ankle) won't return to Sunday's game against the Bears.

With the Bengals on bye next week, Perine's next chance to see game action will arrive Nov. 16 against the Steelers. In his absence Sunday, Tahj Brooks is next in line for backfield work behind starter Chase Brown. Meanwhile, fellow RBs Gary Brightwell and Kendall Milton are currently members of Cincinnati's practice squad.

Moore (illness) is active for Sunday's game against the Bills, Matt McMullen of the Chiefs' official site reports.

The offensive lineman missed practice Friday due to the illness. Now that he's feeling well enough to go Sunday, Moore should be in line to start at left tackle with Josh Simmons (personal) inactive for the third straight game.

Royals (coach's decision) is a healthy scratch for Sunday's battle against the Bills, Matt McMullen of the Chiefs' official site reports.

Royals is inactive as a coach's decision for the second straight week. The rookie wideout has logged 35 offensive snaps over four games this season and has yet to draw a target.

Smith (back) is active for Sunday's game against the Bills, Matt McMullen of the Chiefs' official site reports.

The right guard was limited in practice Wednesday and Thursday before participating in full Friday. Smith has started all seven games he's played in this season and all 87 regular-season and playoff games that he's played in during his career.
