Bachman (ankle) is active for Sunday's game against the Chiefs.

Bachman was limited in the last two practices of the week due to an ankle injury but he has been given the green light to play Week 7 after going through pregame warmups. He has mostly served on special teams this season but could get a bump in snaps on offense due to the absences of Jakobi Meyers (knee) and Brock Bowers (knee).

Jennings (coach's decision) is inactive Sunday against the Titans.

Jennings missed the Week 6 win against the Saints with an ankle injury but is a healthy scratch for Sunday's matchup. The linebacker contributed 20 defensive snaps in Week 4 and 22 in Week 5 prior to his ankle issue, and he had a similar special teams presence as well. With Jennings' status confirmed for Sunday, Jahlani Tavai could continue to see more defensive snaps as a reserve linebacker.

Yiadom (hamstring) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Bears.

Yiadom was a full participant in Friday's practice, but he has not progressed enough in his recovery from a hamstring injury to return for Week 7. His absence means Quincy Riley will continue to see extended work out of the nickel cornerback position. Yiadom's next opportunity to play is Week 8 against the Buccaneers on Sunday, Oct. 26.

Mayer is expected to remain a focal point of the Las Vegas passing attack Sunday against the Chiefs with top tight end Brock Bowers (knee) and top receiver Jakobi Meyers (knee/toe) inactive for the contest, Levi Edwards of the Raiders' official site reports.

Bowers is missing his third straight game, but Mayer will be stepping in as the No. 1 tight end for just the second consecutive contest, after the Notre Dame product had previously sat out losses to the Bears in Week 4 and the Colts in Week 5 due to a concussion. In his return to action for this past Sunday's 20-10 win over the Titans, Mayer played 56 of 61 snaps on offense on his way to amassing a 5-50-1 receiving line on seven targets. The Raiders had Meyers available for that contest, but his absence for Week 7 along with Bowers' could free up even more volume for Mayer. The 24-year-old thus projects as a solid lineup option this week for fantasy managers looking for a Bowers replacement or otherwise in need of an alternative at the position.

Washington (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Browns.

Washington has played only three snaps this season, all coming on offense in Week 5 against Carolina. The Dolphins' active WRs for Week 7 are Jaylen Waddle, Malik Washington, Nick Westbrook-Ikhine and Dee Eskridge.

Jones (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Patriots, Paul Kuharsky of PaulKuharsky.com reports.

Jones missed the final two practices of the week due to a knee injury, but he has done enough in pregame warmups to be given the green light to play Sunday. His availability is crucial for a Titans' defense that will be without Arden Key (quadriceps) for a second consecutive game, which opens the door for Jaylen Harrell and Jihad Ward to see more snaps at outside linebacker in Week 7. Jones has 17 tackles (eight solo), including 1.0 sacks, and one fumble recovery through the first six games of the regular season.

Jarrett (knee) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Saints.

Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported Saturday that Jarrett was expected to play Week 7, but the veteran defensive lineman has not progressed enough in his recovery from a knee injury to return Sunday. Jarrett will be sidelined for a third consecutive game, and his absence means Shemar Turner, Andrew Billings and Chris Williams will continue to see more rotational snaps at defensive tackle. Jarrett's next opportunity to play is Week 8 against the Ravens on Sunday, Oct. 26.

Fulton (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Raiders.

Fulton was sidelined by an ankle injury early in the season, but he didn't appear on the injury report at all leading up to Sunday's game against the Raiders. He appears to have slipped behind Josh Williams on the depth chart due to special teams usage.

Hawkins (hamstring) is inactive Sunday against the Titans.

Hawkins is inactive with a hamstring injury for a second consecutive week. Kyle Dugger will once again get the start at strong safety while Hawkins continues to recover.

Wilson (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Browns.

Despite Tyreek Hill (knee) being out for the season, Wilson is a healthy scratch for a second straight game. He missed time early in the campaign due to a knee injury, but he's been off the injury report the past two weeks.
