Gardner is being evaluated for a head injury and is questionable to return.

Gardner appeared to suffer the injury while making a tackle in the fourth quarter and went to the locker room after being evaluated by trainers in the blue medical tent. With Tony Adams (hip) inactive, Qwan'tez Stiggers will likely see more work at outside corner for as long as Gardner is out of the game.

Fant left Sunday's game against the Vikings with a possible concussion.

Prior to that, Fant caught all five of his targets for 26 yards. With Fant sidelined, Mike Gesicki, Drew Sample and Cam Grandy are available to handle the Bengals' TE duties versus Minnesota.

Penning (toe) is active for Sunday's game against the Seahawks.

Penning missed the first two games of the season due to a toe injury that he suffered during the Saints' preseason opener against the Chargers. He was a limited participant in practice this past week, and he's progressed enough in his recovery to make his regular-season debut Sunday, when he'll start at left guard.

Colby (groin) is active for Sunday's Week 3 clash against the Cardinals, Briana Jeannel of the 49ers' official site reports.

Colby dealt with a groin injury late this week but will be able to suit up in the NFC West battle Sunday. He'll draw the start at left guard in place of Ben Bartch (ankle), who landed on injured reserve Wednesday.

Evans departed Sunday's contest against the Jets due to a hamstring injury.

Evans limped off the field in the middle of the fourth quarter and was considered questionable to return not long afterward. At the time he exited, he'd notched four catches (on eight targets) for 33 yards and one touchdown.

Fuaga (knee/back) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Seahawks.

Fuaga was unable to practice all week due to back and knee injuries, and his next chance to play is Week 4 against the Bills on Sunday, Sept. 28. Asim Richards will likely get the start at left tackle in Fuaga's absence.

Moore hurt his calf in Sunday's game against Tennessee and has been ruled out for the remainder of the contest.

Moore headed to the locker room after having his left calf looked at by trainers during the second half. Prior to his exit, he logged two assisted tackles and picked up his first interception of the campaign. Mekhi Blackmon and/or Johnathan Edwards may be given more reps in the secondary in Moore's absence.

Dotson (cramps) has returned to Sunday's game against the Eagles, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.

Dotson briefly left Sunday's game due to cramping, but the 2020 fourth-rounder has been cleared to return at right guard after being evaluated by trainers on the sidelines.

Jackson is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Rams due to a groin injury.

Jackson went to the blue medical tent to have his groin injury evaluated to determine whether he can return. Jakorian Bennett has come into the game at corner and will see an uptick in playing time for as long as Jackson is out of the game.

Diggs (knee) is active for Sunday's Week 3 game against Chicago, Garrett Podell of CBS Sports reports.

Diggs dealt with an illness early this week and then popped up on the Cowboys' injury report Saturday due to a knee issue. He'll ultimately be able to suit up against the Bears and should take on his usual role as a starter at cornerback.
