Kincaid (oblique) is inactive for Monday night's game against the Falcons.

Kincaid, who opened the practice week Thursday sporting a non-contact jersey, subsequently was deemed limited in all three sessions before being listed as questionable for Monday's contest. Now that he's been ruled out versus Atlanta, Dawson Knox is in line to lead the Bills' Week 6 TE corps, with Jackson Hawes available to mix in. Kincaid will target a potential return to action Sunday, Oct. 26 against the Panthers following Buffalo's bye week.

Stewart (ankle) was estimated as a full participant on Monday's practice report, Jay Morrison of SI.com reports.

Stewart has missed the Bengals' last four games with the ankle injury, but his full estimation would seem to put him on track to return Thursday night against the Steelers.

Jones (ribs) was estimated as a DNP on Monday's practice report, Jay Morrison of SI.com reports.

Jones must have injured his ribs in Sunday's loss to the Packers, as he went into that contest battling some Achilles pain before being cleared to play. Jones has logged just four offensive snaps all season but handles kickoff and punt returns for the Bengals. If Jones is unable to play Thursday night against the Steelers, Jermaine Burton could get the call to handle return duties.

Hudson (concussion) was estimated as a DNP on Monday's practice report, Jay Morrison of SI.com reports.

Hudson came out of Sunday's loss to the Packers with concussion symptoms and is in the league's protocol. It's going to be a difficult challenge for him to gain clearance ahead of Thursday night's date with the Steelers. With Mike Gesicki (pectoral) very unlikely to play, Noah Fant, Drew Sample and Cam Grandy would be in line to handle tight-end duties for Cincinnati.

The Falcons have elevated Thompkins for Monday's game against Buffalo, D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Thompkins will get a chance to provide depth at wide receiver for the Falcons on Monday, with Darnell Mooney (hamstring) ruled out. Across seven regular-season appearances with the Panthers in 2024, Thompkins secured all four of his targets for 20 receiving yards while also contributing in the return game. He'll revert to Atlanta's practice squad after Monday's contest.

Hendrickson (hip) was listed as a non-participant on Monday's estimated practice report, Jay Morrison of SI.com reports.

Hendrickson is dealing with a hip issue, not a back injury as previously reported. He's been labeled as day-to-day, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. With the quick turnaround from Sunday, it might be a challenge for Hendrickson to be ready to play Thursday night against the Steelers.

Indianapolis claimed Lowery off waivers from the Ravens on Monday.

Lowery was waived by Baltimore on Saturday, despite having played 100 percent of the team's defensive snaps Week 5 and recording five tackles (one solo). The undrafted rookie out of Chattanooga will now get an opportunity to compete to carve out a role with the Colts, and he could potentially contribute to his new team as early as Sunday on the road against the Chargers.

Homer (calf) was downgraded to out for Monday night's game against the Commanders.

Homer's season debut will have to wait at least another week, as his next chance to suit up will be Sunday against the Saints. Homer will likely contribute mainly on special teams when he does return to action.

Booker (knee) has been downgraded to out for Monday night's game versus Washington.

Booker remains on injured reserve and wasn't activated ahead of the Bears' Week 6 date with the Commanders. He was designated for return Tuesday, which opened his 21-day practice window. Booker's next chance to suit up will be Sunday against the Saints.

Cosmi (PUP, knee) has been downgraded to out for Monday's game against the Bears.

Cosmi will miss a second straight game since having had his 21-day practice window opened on Oct. 1. Once healthy, Cosmi is expected to reclaim his starting spot at right guard and provide a boost for Washington's offensive line, but for the time being he remains on the reserve/PUP list.
