Dunker (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Bengals, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

Dunker appeared as limited on Thursday's practice report. The offensive guard was downgraded to a non-participant in Friday's session, drawing an out designation for Sunday's contest. It is unclear how long the new knee injury will sideline the depth option.

Pipkins (knee) is listed as out for Sunday's game versus Buffalo.

Pipkins will miss another game Sunday, meaning his next opportunity to get back on the field will come in Week 4 versus the Seahawks.

Ingram (groin) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Colts, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

Ingram will now miss consecutive games due to the groin injury he suffered during Week 2 prep. Once the offensive lineman returns, he will provide key depth to a Texans offense that is thin at right tackle.

Awosika (leg) is listed as out for Sunday's game against the Bills.

Awosika injured his fibula during the 26-14 loss to the Raiders in Week 2. He's expected to miss time, so Sunday's absence may not be a one-off situation. While Awosika is sidelined, Trevor Penning should take on more work.

Thorson (hamstring) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, Craig Peters of the Vikings' official site reports.

Thorson was unable to practice throughout Week 3 due to a right hamstring injury. Recent practice squad addition Johnny Hekker is set to be elevated to the active roster to punt and hold for the Vikings in Thorson's absence.

Samac (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, Craig Peters of the Vikings' official site reports.

Samac missed consecutive practices to end Week 3 with a knee injury. The backup to Blake Brandel will now miss Sunday's contest due to the injury, leaving the Vikings with less depth on the offensive line.

The Bills placed Hancock (hamstring) on injured reserve Friday.

Hancock likely suffered his hamstring injury in the Bills' Week 2 win over the Lions. The issue appears to be significant, leading the team to move Hancock to IR. The defensive back will need to miss at least four games before becoming eligible to return to the Bills' active roster. The team signed Greg Dortch from the practice squad to the active roster in a corresponding move.

Woodson (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Jaguars.

Woodson was upgraded to a limited participant in Friday's practice after missing the Wednesday and Thursday sessions due to a shoulder injury. The late upgrade in practice participation is a good sign for the starting strong safety, but it remains unclear if one partial practice will be enough to give Woodson the green light to suit up for Sunday's contest.

Gilliam (knee) does not have any injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Jaguars.

Gilliam was limited in all three Week 3 practice sessions. The fullback sustained a knee injury during the Patriots' Week 2 win over the Steelers, but it won't stop the 29-year-old from suiting up for Sunday's game against the Jaguars. Gilliam has seen 33 offensive snaps and 26 special-teams snaps through two games in 2026.

Banks (ankle) underwent surgery this week, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.

While head coach Kellen Moore indicated that the procedure went well, Banks will remain on injured reserve for the foreseeable future. As a result, Mason Murphy should continue to be more involved.
