Boston (foot) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Ravens, Chris Easterling of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

A limited practice participant throughout the week, Boston should be fine for his usual workload unless there's an in-game setback Sunday. He's rarely left the field for Cleveland this season, and his big plays have been about the only bright spot on offense.

Warren (groin) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Titans after being added to the practice report Friday as a limited participant.

Warren dealt with a groin injury in August, so this could be a recurrence rather than a new issue. Kevin Bowen notes that Warren grimaced after a red-zone rep at Friday's practice, but there hasn't been any comment from team or player about what happened and whether the tight end is expected to play Sunday. The only good news for Warren's fantasy managers is that the Colts and Titans are scheduled for an early afternoon kickoff at 1:00 p.m. ET.

Jacobs (personal) will be removed from the Commissioner's Exempt List on Monday and be eligible to play as soon as the Packers' Week 7 game at Detroit, Tom Pelissero of Netflix reports.

Jacobs' playing status has been in limbo since his May arrest following a domestic incident that led to the running back pleading no contest to misdemeanor charges of battery and criminal damage to property in early September. He since has missed the first five games of the season and will miss a sixth contest Sunday, and while he'll be able to practice next week and make his 2026 debut on Sunday, Oct. 25, the NFL will keep its investigation of Jacobs open, reserving the right to add further discipline if new information comes to light, per Adam Schefter of ESPN.

Cooper (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at New England.

Cooper was a full practice participant Friday, upgrading from limited participation the previous two days. That doesn't necessarily mean he'll play, though the Jets definitely could use the help with Adonai Mitchell (finger) out for another week. They'll need to activate Cooper from injured reserve Friday or Saturday to have him available for Sunday's game against the Patriots at 1:00 p.m. ET.

Sadiq (concussion) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Patriots after logging a full practice Friday.

Sadiq is progressing through the concussion protocol and likely just needs clearance from a neurologist. The Jets listed him as a limited participant Wednesday and Thursday before upgrading to full on Friday. Kickoff is scheduled for 1:00 p.m. ET in Foxborough.

Metcalf is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers after missing Friday's practice due to an illness.

Metcalf wasn't listed on the injury report Wednesday or Thursday, which suggests he started feeling sick Thursday evening or Friday morning. He'll have 48-plus hours to recover before a 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff Sunday, and the Steelers might want him active even if he isn't at full strength, given their myriad of injury problems at wide receiver. Roman Wilson (finger) and Ben Skowronek (calf) are out this week, leaving Germie Bernard and return specialist Kaden Wetjen as the only healthy WRs on the active roster. Brandon Johnson was called up from the practice squad last week.

Dowdle (toe) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers after being a full participant in practice Thursday and Friday.

Steelers offensive coordinator Brian Angelichio said Monday that he was expecting Dowdle to return this week. The team isn't ready to commit to it, but back-to-back full practices suggest he's ready to play unless there's a last-minute setback. Steelers coach Mike McCarthy told reporters that Jaylen Warren has earned a larger role even when Dowdle is healthy, which means the two RBs won't alternate drive sin a 50/50 split the way they did at the beginning of the season. Pittsburgh's inactive list will be posted at 11:30 a.m. ET on Sunday.

Johnston (chest) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Chiefs, Noah Furtado of The Athletic reports.

Ladd McConkey (foot) has also been cleared to play, while Tre' Harris (hamstring) has been ruled out. Harris seemed to be threatening Johnston for the No. 2 receiver job, but for now it'll likely be Johnston's role.

McConkey (foot) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Chiefs, Noah Furtado of The Athletic reports.

Quentin Johnston (chest) has also been cleared to play, while Tre' Harris (hamstring) has been ruled out. Chargers coach Jim Harbaugh declined to comment on playing-time expectations for Sunday, simply telling reporters, "I don't know," and "we'll see how it goes," when asked about McConkey and Johnston on Friday, per Alex Insdorf of BoltBeat.com. McConkey has been the No. 1 target when available, but Justin Herbert may not have time to look downfield behind an injury-ravaged offensive line.

Monangai (thumb/toe) was ruled out for Sunday's game in Atlanta.

Monangai is tending to a turf toe injury that now will force a second absence in a row. With Monangai on the sidelines, Roschon Johnson will serve as the complementary RB behind starter D'Andre Swift, but such a role equated to 10 touches for 40 yards from scrimmage for the former in last Sunday's loss at Green Bay. Meanwhile, Monangai's next chance for game action is next Thursday against the Patriots.
