Thomas (foot) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Cowboys, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Thomas is in the final stages of his recovery from foot surgery from last October. He was able to end the week with back-to-back limited practices, but he'll have to wait at least one more week to make his 2025 debut. James Hudson is expected to start at left tackle for as long as Thomas is sidelined.

Avila (ankle) is inactive for Sunday's tilt against Tennessee.

Avila's absence was expected, as he was deemed doubtful heading into the weekend after missing every practice this week. Beaux Limmer is likely to start at left guard for the Rams in Avila's stead.

Fuaga (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the 49ers.

Fuaga was nursing a knee injury throughout the week, but his ability to practice in a limited capacity Thursday and Friday was enough for him to be cleared to play Sunday. The 2024 first-rounder will start at right tackle while Asim Richards provides depth at the position.

Davis (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Patriots.

The safety was listed as questionable Friday after practicing in a limited capacity throughout the week. Davis played in Miami's season-opening loss to Indianapolis despite missing most of training camp with an ankle issue. In that contest, the sixth-year pro saw action on 11 defensive snaps and 13 special-teams snaps, making one solo tackle.

Winston (hamstring) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Rams, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

The rookie third-rounder was limited in practice all week due to a hamstring injury, and he'll have to wait at least one more week to make his NFL regular-season debut. Quandre Diggs will continue to serve in a rotational role in the secondary behind Amani Hooker, Xavier Woods and Roger McCreary while Winston is sidelined.

Burton (coach's decision) is a healthy scratch for Sunday's tilt against Jacksonville.

Burton was also inactive for Cincinnati's season-opening win over Cleveland, so it appears the Bengals don't currently have a role for him. The second-year wideout can contribute as both a depth receiver and kick/punt returner when given a chance to play, though fellow WR Charlie Jones served as the team's return man in Week 1 and therefore seems to be ahead of Burton in the pecking order.

Hancock (shoulder) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Jets.

The rookie fifth-rounder was trending toward making his NFL regular-season debut after logging back-to-back limited practices to end the week, but he will not suit up Sunday due to a shoulder injury that he suffered in mid-August. Hancock's next chance to play is Thursday against the Dolphins.

Decker (shoulder) is active for Sunday's matchup with the Bears.

The starting left tackle was listed as questionable Friday after missing practice all week. Decker played all 65 of Detroit's offensive snaps in Week 1 and has been a perennial starter since getting drafted by the team in 2016.

Woods (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Bills, Randy Lange of the Jets' official site reports.

Woods was claimed off waivers by the Jets in late August after failing to make the Colts' 53-man roster at the end of training camp. However, he will be in street clothes as a healthy inactive for a second consecutive week, and his next opportunity to make his Jets debut is Week 3 against the Buccaneers on Sunday, Sept. 21. Mason Taylor was able to shake off an ankle injury to be cleared to play and will serve as the Jets' starting tight end while Jeremy Ruckert and Stone Smartt serve as the backups.

Joseph (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Bears.

The safety surfaced on the injury report Friday and only got in a limited practice. Though he entered Sunday with a questionable tag, Joseph's issue was apparently not serious enough to keep him out for the game. The fourth-year pro recorded one tackle on 47 defensive snaps in Week 1.
