Williams logged five tackles (three solo) and one pass defensed for an interception in the Bills' 33-30 win over the Raiders on Sunday.

Despite a relatively poor showing from a struggling Bills defense, Williams picked off Raiders quarterback Kirk Cousins in the third quarter of Sunday's contest. The linebacker's stolen possession led to the Bills extending the lead from 16-13 to 23-13 with 6:22 remaining in the third quarter.

Okereke recorded eight tackles (seven solo), including 1.0 sacks, and two pass defenses during the Panthers' 25-14 win over the Eagles in Week 6.

Okereke led the Panthers in both combined and solo tackles in Week 6, and he set the tone early for the defense by sacking Tanner McKee on the Eagles' first offensive play of the game. It was Okereke's first sack of the season and matches his total across 17 regular-season games with the Giants in 2025. The veteran linebacker is up to 34 tackles (21 solo), four pass defenses (including one interception) and one forced fumble through five regular-season games.

Demmings (hamstring) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.

Demmings missed each of the Vikings' two games prior to the Week 6 bye due to a hamstring injury. His full practice Wednesday indicates that he's fully healthy and will be available for Sunday's game against the Colts. The rookie fifth-rounder has served mostly on special teams, but his return gives the Vikings additional depth in the secondary.

Jurgens (concussion) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.

There is no official confirmation that the new Ravens center has cleared the NFL's five-step concussion protocol. Jurgens did take contact in Wednesday's session, meaning he is most likely all set to make his Ravens debut in Week 7 against the Bengals.

Savaiinaea (ankle) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, David reports.David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel

Savaiinaea injured his ankle during the Dolphins' Week 5 loss to the Bengals. The second-year offensive lineman had extra time to recover thanks to the Week 6 bye, and given his ability to practice in full Wednesday, Savaiinaea should start at right guard against the Jets on Sunday.

Jefferson (hip) was a full participant at practice Wednesday, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Jefferson left the Browns' contest versus the Ravens in Week 6 early with a hip injury, but it looks like he'll be good to go for Week 7. Through two games in 2026, all 34 of his snaps have come on special teams.

The Steelers released Jenkins on Wednesday, Teresa Varley of the team's official site reports.

Jenkins started the regular season at strong safety before being benched for Robert Spears-Jennings in Week 5. The veteran defensive back was likely seen as expendable, with DeShon Elliott (knee) set to return from IR soon and reclaim his starting role at strong safety.

Moses (foot) is questionable to play Thursday versus the Bears.

Moses was remained limited all week as he nurses a foot injury that he suffered in Week 6 against the Jets, and his status for Week 7 is uncertain as a result. If he is ultimately unable to go, Caleb Lomu would stand to draw the start at right tackle against Chicago on Thursday Night Football.

Canada (hamstring) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Bears.

Canada, Carlton Davis (neck) and Karon Prunty (hamstring) will all be sidelined for Thursday night's contest, which leaves Christian Gonzalez and Charles Woods as the starters at outside cornerback while Kindle Vildor and Elliott Davison provide depth. It will be the fourth consecutive game that Canada will miss due to a hamstring injury, and his next chance to return is Week 8 against the Dolphins on Sunday, Nov. 1.

Prunty (hamstring) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against Chicago.

Prunty will be sidelined for a third-straight game due to a hamstring injury that he picked up during the Patriots' Week 4 win over the Bills. With Carlton Davis (neck) and Channing Canada (hamstring) also ruled out, Charles Woods and Christian Gonzalez will serve as the Patriots' starting outside cornerbacks for Thursday night's game while Elliott Davison and Kindle Vildor provide depth at the position. Prunty's next chance to play is Week 8 against the Dolphins on Sunday, Nov. 1.
