Wilson (calf) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Bears.

Wilson's absence comes as little surprise after he was unable to practice this week due to the calf injury before being listed as doubtful heading into Sunday. Before succumbing to the injury, the veteran linebacker had seen his playing time get scaled back in each of the past three weeks while the Bengals opened up more snaps for rookies Demetrius Knight and Barrett Carter. As a result of the drop in playing time, Wilson put in a request for a trade, and Dianna Russini of The Athletic relays that the Bengals have received inquiries from several teams regarding the 29-year-old's availability ahead of Tuesday's trade deadline.

McLaughlin (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Texans.

McLaughlin will be a healthy scratch for the eighth time in nine games as the Broncos go with three active running backs in J.K. Dobbins, RJ Harvey and Tyler Badie. McLaughlin's next opportunity to see the field is Thursday against the Raiders.

Becton (knee) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Titans, Eric Smith of the Chargers' official site reports.

Becton suffered a knee injury in Week 8 against the Vikings, and logged two limited practice sessions Thursday and Friday for a chance to play against the Titans. After finishing last week's game for the injured Becton, Foster Sarell is in line to start at right guard for the Chargers' Sunday contest.

Hendrickson (hip) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Bears.

As expected, the star edge rusher will be held out for the second time this season after he had been listed as doubtful heading into the weekend upon logging no practice activity from Wednesday through Friday. Though the Bengals had originally provided indications that they weren't open to moving Hendrickson -- a pending free agent -- ahead of Tuesday's trade deadline, Jay Glazer of Fox Sports reported Sunday that the team may no longer be as firm in its stance. The result of Sunday's game could be important in determining the Bengals' plans ahead of the deadline; a loss would drop the team to 3-6 and significantly dim its hopes of making a push for a playoff spot.

Stewart (foot) is active for Sunday's game against the Steelers.

The defensive tackle sat out of both practices to start the week, returned to full participation Friday and carried a questionable tag into the weekend. Stewart has started all eight games in 2025 for Indy, recording 27 tackles (12 solo) and three pass breakups, including an interception.

Vaki (hamstring) is active for Sunday's game against the Vikings.

A hamstring injury limited Vaki's practice participation all week, but he has been cleared to play in Sunday's NFC North tilt. He'll serve as the Lions' RB3 behind Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery due to Craig Reynolds (hamstring) being inactive.

Horton (knee) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Broncos.

Horton suffered a knee injury during the Week 8 win over the 49ers and, despite logging a full practice Friday, will be inactive for Sunday's contest. His absence will allow Darrell Taylor and Denico Autry a chance at more rotational snaps with the Texans' defensive line.

DeVito (coach's decision) is inactive but will serve as the Patriots' emergency third quarterback against the Falcons on Sunday.

As the emergency third quarterback, DeVito is restricted from playing Sunday unless both Drake Maye and Joshua Dobbs are removed from the game due to injury, illness or ejection.

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

The Packers listed Brandon McManus as questionable for a second week in a row, but he again will be able to play through his lingering right quad injury. Havrisik thus will don street clothes Sunday, and his time on Green Bay's roster could be coming to a close whenever McManus is able to ditch the injury entirely.

Pierce (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Broncos.

The running back is now a healthy scratch for the fifth time in eight games this season. Nick Chubb and Woody Marks continue to hold down Houston's backfield. Pierce has played on just 23 offensive snaps this year, carrying the ball 10 times for 26 yards and no scores.
