Henderson (groin) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bears, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

Henderson was held out of practice all week due to a groin injury that he sustained during the Falcons' Week 5 overtime loss to the Ravens. In his absence, Avieon Terrell is expected to start opposite Mike Hughes at outside cornerback, with Mike Ford providing depth. Harrison's next opportunity to play is Week 7 against San Francisco on Sunday, Oct. 25.

Williams should continue to serve as the No. 3 wide receiver behind Garrett Wilson and Tim Patrick for Sunday's game against the Patriots due to the absence of Adonai Mitchell (finger).

Williams caught one of his two targets for 16 yards and rushed once for three yards in the Jets' Week 5 win over the Browns. The wide receiver should continue to see some attention from Geno Smith, but if Omar Cooper (ankle) is activated from IR for Sunday's game, that could change.

Hibner (hand) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Browns.

Hibner was held out of practice all week due to a hand injury that he sustained during the Ravens' Week 5 overtime win over the Falcons. Per Brian Wacker of The Baltimore Sun, Hibner is not considered to be a candidate for injured reserve, so the rookie tight end could be back in action as soon as Week 7 against the Bengals. In Hibner's absence, Josh Cuevas and Nick Vannett are both in line for more snaps on offense while operating behind TE1 Mark Andrews.

Patrick is set to continue as the No. 2 wide receiver for the Jets' game against the Patriots on Sunday.

Adonai Mitchell (finger) remains sidelined for Week 6, leaving Patrick as the No. 2 option behind Garrett Wilson. The wide receiver caught two of his three targets for 26 yards in the team's Week 5 win over the Browns. Patrick played 93 percent of the Jets' offensive snaps in his first game back from a groin injury.

Daniels will be the Buccaneers' starting quarterback against the Steelers after Baker Mayfield (right thumb) was ruled out.

It will be Daniels' third consecutive start under center, as Mayfield continues to be sidelined by a dislocated right thumb that prevented the veteran from practicing all week. Daniels led the Buccaneers to their first victory of the season in Week 5 against the Cowboys, when he completed 19 of 25 passes for 189 yards and a touchdown while turning seven carries into 23 yards.

Pierce will be the Eagles' starting running back against the Panthers on Sunday due to the absences of both Saquon Barkley (hamstring) and Will Shipley (foot, IR).

Shipley was placed on injured reserve Friday, and Barkley will miss a second consecutive game due to a hamstring injury that he sustained against the Rams in Week 4. As such, Pierce will be the lead back for Sunday's contest while Carson Steele operates as the backup. Pierce turned 11 carries into 14 yards and added two catches (on five targets) for minus-two yards in a Week 5 loss to the Jaguars. That game in London was the fifth-year pro's debut with the Eagles this season, and with another week of practice under his belt, Pierce will have the chance to produce against a Panthers defense that allows 156.5 rushing yards per game, which is second-most in the NFL only behind the Cowboys (168.4).

Allen will once again operate as the Jets' primary running back for Sunday's game against the Patriots due to the absence of Breece Hall (quadriceps).

Allen had a huge part in the Jets' Week 5 win over the Browns, totalling 116 yards and a touchdown over 24 rushes. The running back is set to reprise his role as one of the team's foremost offensive weapons against the Patriots on Sunday as Breece Hall (quadriceps) continues to recover.

Stevenson's workload against the Jets on Sunday will depend on whether TreVeyon Henderson (ankle) is cleared to play, Evan Lazaar of the Patriots' official site reports.

Henderson was expected to miss multiple weeks due to a high-ankle sprain that he sustained against the Raiders in Week 5. However, the second-year running back was able to practice in a limited capacity in all three Week 6 practices, which was enough for him to draw the questionable tag for Sunday's AFC East showdown. If he's ruled out, then Stevenson would be the Patriots' clear RB1 and take on a sizable workload, with Corey Kiner serving in a rotational role.

Bernard and return specialist Kaden Wetjen are the only wide receivers on Pittsburgh's active roster without injury designations for Week 6.

Bernard played 93 percent of snaps in a Week 5 win over Indianapolis, catching six passes for 80 yards on a team-high nine targets. He now projects for a similar workload, at least in terms of playing time, as the Steelers are still without Michael Pittman (IR - foot) and now have Roman Wilson (finger) and Ben Skowronek (calf) ruled out for Week 6. What's more, DK Metcalf is listed as questionable after missing Friday's practice with an illness. Metcalf may not be at his best even if he's able to play, and there's otherwise minimal target competition for Bernard in the WR room. The Steelers figure to deploy multi-TE formations early and often to avoid relying too heavily on practice-squad callups at WR like Brandon Johnson or Isaiah Hodgins.

Tremble (ribs) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Eagles.

Tremble upgraded to a full participant in Friday's practice after opening Week 6 prep as a limited participant. The tight end is all set to suit up for the Panthers' showdown with the Eagles on Sunday.
