Woods (ankle) is active for Sunday's game against the Colts.

Woods was given the questionable tag for Week 8 after being limited in practice due to an ankle injury. He's been cleared to play after going through pregame warmups and will start at safety alongside Amani Hooker for Sunday's AFC South tilt.

Key (quadriceps) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Colts.

Key will miss a third consecutive game due to a quadriceps injury he sustained in Week 5 against the Cardinals. Jihad Ward and Jaylen Harrell will continue to see more snaps at outside linebacker in Key's absence. Key's next opportunity to play is Week 9 against the Chargers on Sunday, Nov. 2.

Risner (illness) is doubtful to play in Sunday's game against the Jets, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.

Risner was added to Sunday's injury report for being under the weather. He was cleared to play after going through pregame warmups, but it appears he's unlikely to see the field unless the Bengals are in desperate need of help on the offensive line.

Hendrickson (hip) limped to the locker room at halftime of Sunday's game against the Jets and will not return, CBS's Aditi Kinkhabwala reports.

Hendrickson was never really able to get loose, and he was coming in and out of the game during the first half. The Bengals' pass rush is already shaky without him, and it didn't get much pressure on the Jets' Justin Fields in the first half. We'll see during the week if Hendrickson can give it another go next week against the Bears.

Elliott (ankle) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against Houston,

Elliott suffered the injury in the third quarter. The former Brown is in his second season with the 49ers and has 16 tackles to go along with 2.5 sacks this season.

Vea (foot) is active for Sunday's game against the Saints, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

Vea missed the final two practices of the week due to a foot injury, but he has been cleared to play in Sunday's NFC South tilt after going through pregame warmups without suffering a setback. The eighth-year pro has 17 tackles (eight solo), including 2.5 sacks, and one fumble recovery through the first seven games of the regular season.

Eskridge (shoulder) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Falcons.

Eskridge was carted to the locker room in the first half due to a shoulder injury, which is severe enough for him to be sidelined for the rest of Sunday's game. Cedrick Wilson will step into a more prominent role on offense, and Ollie Gordon is set to join Malik Washington on kickoff return duties.

Flott is being evaluated for a possible concussion and is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Eagles, Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record reports.

Flott took a hit to the head late in the second quarter, and he'll be evaluated by medical staff to determine whether he can return to Sunday's game. With Paulson Adebo (knee) inactive, Deonte Banks and Korie Black will see extended work at outside corner for as long as Flott is sidelined.

Skattebo was ruled out of Sunday's game in Philadelphia due to a right ankle injury.

Skattebo suffered a gruesome injury to his lower right leg at the end of a Jaxson Dart incompletion that targeted the rookie running back. His right ankle was placed in an air cast before he was carted off the field in the second quarter. While Skattebo will be out for the foreseeable future, Tyrone Tracy will take over the Giants backfield Sunday and beyond.

Mays (ankle) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Bills, David Newton of ESPN.com reports.

Mays went down with an ankle injury late in the second quarter of Sunday's contest. 30-year-old veteran Austin Corbett will replace Mays for the time being.
