Burford (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Giants, Briana Jeannel of the 49ers' official site reports.

Burford was activated from injured reserve Saturday, and the 2022 fourth-rounder has officially been cleared to return from a six-game absence due to a knee injury. Burford operated as a swing tackle prior to his injury but will start at left guard in his return, per Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle.

Palczewski (illness) is active for Sunday's matchup with the Texans.

The starting left guard, who has missed three straight games due to an ankle injury, was a late addition to this week's injury report Saturday with an illness. Regardless of whether he's still dealing with it, Palczewski appears healthy enough to play Sunday.

Wallace (shoulder) is active for Sunday's game against the Packers, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

Wallace had a DNP-LP-LP practice log during Week 9 prep while working through a shoulder injury, but the second-year linebacker has been cleared to play Sunday after going through pregame warmups. Wallace has recorded at least five tackles in five of eight regular-season games, and 39 stops on the year is fourth most on the Panthers.

Holland (knee) is inactive for Sunday's game against the 49ers, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

The safety missed last week's loss to the Eagles with the same injury and only got in a trio of limited practices during the week leading up to this contest. Dane Belton is the next man up at free safety.

Scott (groin) is active for Sunday's game against the Packers, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

Scott was working through a groin issue during Week 9 prep, but the seventh-year safety has been cleared to play against Green Bay. The 2019 seventh-rounder has accumulated 41 tackles (25 solo) and two pass defenses through the first eight games of the regular season.

Winston (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's matchup with the 49ers, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Winston would need Jaxson Dart and Russell Wilson to leave the game due to injury, illness or ejection to have a chance to enter. The former No. 1 overall pick has yet to appear in a game this season.

Brinson (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Panthers, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.

Brinson was not listed on the packers injury report Wednesday after recovering from a hamstring injury he suffered prior to Week 8. The decision is not a surprise as the defensive end has been a healthy scratch for most of the Packers' campaign. The 2025 sixth-round rookie will have to look toward his next potential opportunity for rotational defensive line snaps in Week 10 against the Steelers.

Lloyd (calf) is not expected to play Sunday against the Raiders, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

The starting middle linebacker entered the weekend with a questionable tag after getting in limited practices all week and missing the Jaguars' Week 7 contest against the Rams. The bye week in between was apparently not enough to help him get ready in time to play this week. Ventrell Miller is Lloyd's backup.

Phillips is the Dolphins' pass rusher most likely to be dealt by Tuesday's trade deadline, Jay Glazer reported on Fox NFL Sunday.

Pass rushers are in demand, and the Dolphins are likely sellers at 2-7 following Thursday's loss to the Ravens. Moreover, they just fired their GM, suggesting that they wanted a new architect for their franchise in advance of the trade deadline. Opposing teams might also inquire into trading for Bradley Chubb and Matthew Judon, but Phillips is the primary target.

Renfrow (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Packers, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

Renfrow will be a healthy scratch for a third consecutive week as the Panthers go with five active wide receivers for Week 9, a group headlined by Tetairoa McMillan, Xavier Legette and Jalen Coker. Renfrow's next opportunity to play is Week 10 against the Saints on Sunday, Nov. 9.
