Brock Bowers TE | LV
Raiders' Brock Bowers: Viewed as week-to-week
Coach Pete Carroll said Monday that Bowers (knee) is considered week-to-week, Paul H. Gutierrez of the Raiders' official site reports.
Bowers was unable to play through the PCL injury in Week 5 against the Colts, and it seems the Raiders are finally considering letting their star tight end recover and get close to 100 percent after he played through the injury the first four weeks of the season. Bowers is genuinely looking questionable for Sunday's Week 6 bout with the Titans. If Bowers is unable to play, Michael Mayer (concussion) would likely handle starter-level snaps, as long as Mayer is able to clear the concussion protocol after missing the past two games.

Ollie Gordon II RB | MIA
Dolphins' Ollie Gordon: Inefficient in loss
Gordon rushed three times for minus-2 yards in Sunday's 27-24 loss to the Panthers.
The rookie from Oklahoma State played 14 offensive snaps and served as Miami's top reserve running back again in the Week 5 loss. Gordon has now rushed 21 times for 58 yards and a touchdown this season while catching two of three targets for an additional four yards. He's expected to continue playing a reserve role on the Dolphins' offense in a Week 6 matchup against the Chargers.

Francisco Mauigoa LB | NYJ
Jets' Francisco Mauigoa: Avoids serious injury
Head coach Aaron Glenn told reporters Monday that Mauigoa will be fine after sustaining a foot injury in Sunday's 37-22 loss to the Cowboys, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
The 2025 fifth-round pick from Miami played 62 total snaps (49 on defense, 13 on special teams) prior to sustaining his foot injury, recording four total tackles. Glenn's comments Monday suggest Mauigoa avoided a serious issue and will travel with the team for the Week 6 matchup against the Broncos in London. However, if the injury is too much to overcome by Sunday, Mykal Walker could see increased work on the Jets' first-team defense.

Jalin Hyatt WR | NYG
Giants' Jalin Hyatt: Blanked despite increased role
Hyatt did not catch any of his three targets in Sunday's loss to the Saints in Week 5.
With Malik Nabers (knee) out for the season, Hyatt logged a season-high 34 offensive snaps, third-most among Giants wideouts. However, the increase in opportunity did not lead to an increase in production. Hyatt did draw his first three targets of the campaign, but he didn't haul any of them in. Meanwhile, UDFA wideout Beaux Collins was right behind Hyatt with 28 offensive snaps, though he was only slightly more productive with one catch (on three targets) for seven yards. The Giants' passing attack as a whole has struggled so far this season, and with Collins potentially continuing to challenge Hyatt for targets behind Wan'Dale Robinson and Darius Slayton, Hyatt's outlook for a Week 6 Thursday night matchup against Philadelphia is bleak, at best.

Jermaine Johnson II DE | TEN
Jets' Jermaine Johnson: Traveling to London
Head coach Aaron Glenn told reporters Monday that Johnson (ankle) will travel with the Jets to London, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
Johnson has missed three consecutive games after sustaining an ankle injury in the Jets' Week 2 loss to the Bills. However, traveling with the team for Sunday's matchup against the Broncos is an encouraging sign for his potential return. The 2022 first-round pick has struggled to stay healthy over the past two seasons, appearing in just four contests and recording 11 total tackles and one pass defended. His participation in practice throughout the week will likely serve as the best indication of whether he can return for the Week 6 affair in London.

Anthony Richardson QB | IND
Colts' Anthony Richardson: Gets time late in blowout win
Richardson was 1-for-2 passing for nine yards, catching his own pass when deflected by the defensive line, in Sunday's win over Las Vegas. He played seven snaps late in the blowout victory.
Richardson has been relegated to a true backup with Daniel Jones playing well as the starter. There was some thought early in the season that Richardson could be used on short-yardage and goal-line plays, but Jones has been strong in those situations as well.

Devin Singletary RB | NYG
Giants' Devin Singletary: Held in check Sunday
Singletary rushed six times for 20 yards and caught one of two targets for four yards in a Week 5 loss to New Orleans on Sunday.
For the second straight week, Singletary worked as New York's No. 2 RB behind Cam Skattebo. That role didn't yield much production for the veteran ball carrier, however, as he totaled a modest 24 yards on seven touches. Singletary's six carries and 20 rushing yards were actually third on the Giants -- Skattebo ran 15 times for 59 yards, while QB Jaxson Dart rushed seven times for 55 yards -- though no other tailback on the team took an offensive snap. Singletary's time as Skattebo's backup may be coming to an end, as Tyrone Tracy (shoulder) was able to practice last Friday in a limited fashion before ultimately being deemed inactive. With that said, New York has a short turnaround with a Thursday matchup against Philadelphia on tap, so Singletary could get one more chance to log a handful of carries Week 6.

Kene Nwangwu RB | NYJ
Jets' Kene Nwangwu: Could return in Week 6
Head coach Aaron Glenn told reporters Monday that Nwangwu (hamstring) will travel with the Jets to London, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
Nwangwu has been sidelined for four consecutive games since sustaining a hamstring injury in the Jets' Week 1 loss to the Steelers. However, he'll travel with the team to London ahead of the Week 6 matchup against the Broncos, which is a good sign for his potential availability. The 27-year-old's practice participation throughout the week will likely provide the best indication of whether he can return for Sunday's contest.
-
Michael Carter II CB | PHI
Jets' Michael Carter: Not traveling to London
Head coach Aaron Glenn told reporters Monday that Carter (concussion) won't travel with the team for Sunday's matchup against the Broncos in London, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
Carter missed the Jets' Week 5 loss to the Cowboys due to a concussion and is now in jeopardy of missing his second consecutive contest. Glenn noted that Carter may travel to London later in the week and join the team, but it's generally not a positive sign that he didn't travel with them initially. If the Duke product is sidelined again in Week 6, Isaiah Oliver and Malachi Moore will likely see increased work in the Jets' secondary.

Ameer Abdullah RB | JAC
Colts' Ameer Abdullah: Rushing TD late in blowout win
Abdullah had two carries for six yards, including a two-yard rushing touchdown, in Sunday's 40-6 win over Las Vegas.
Abdullah was just called up from the practice squad ahead of the game. He only got carries late in the game amid a blowout win. DJ Giddens remains the clear backup to Jonathan Taylor while Tyler Goodson (groin) is sidelined. Abdullah will likely see most of his usage on special teams whenever he's active.
