Fuaga is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Cardinals due to a knee injury, John Hendrix of AthlonSports.com reports.

Fuaga appeared to injure his right knee in the second half, though it's unclear whether it's related to the knee issue that he dealt with late in training camp. Asim Richards is in at right tackle and would remain there for the rest of Sunday's game if Fuaga is not cleared to return.

Wharton has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Jaguars due to a hamstring injury, Alex Zietlow of The Charlotte Observer reports.

Wharton initially left Sunday's game to be evaluated for a concussion, but it's a hamstring injury that will prevent him from returning. It's unclear whether he's passed his concussion evaluation, so his injury status will be worth monitoring heading into the Panthers' Week 2 clash against the Cardinals on Sunday, Sept. 14. In Wharton's absence, Jaden Crumedy should see an uptick in rotational snaps at defensive end.

Jones is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Colts due to an oblique injury.

It's unclear when Jones suffered the injury, but he will be evaluated by medical staff to determine whether he can return to Sunday's contest. Jordan Phillips and Kenneth Grant stand to see more rotational snaps at defensive tackle alongside Zach Sieler in Jones' absence.

Collins is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Saints due to a hand injury.

Collins suffered the injury in the third quarter of Sunday's game, and he'll undergo further tests to determine the severity of the issue and whether he can return. Collins' absence opens the door for Baron Browning and Owen Pappoe to see more snaps with the first-team defense at linebacker.

Blount (concussion) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Saints, Dani Sureck of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Blount appeared to take a hit to the head late in the second quarter on a kickoff return. He will not return Sunday, and he'll have to pass the league's five-step concussion protocol in order to play Week 2 against the Panthers on Sunday, Sept. 14.

Sims (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Lions, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.

Sims will be in street clothes for Sunday's regular-season opener while Tucker Kraft, Luke Musgrave and John FitzPatrick serve as the Packers' active tight ends. Sims' next chance to make his 2025 regular-season debut is Thursday against the Commanders.

Wilson (head) has returned to Sunday's game against the Browns, Kelsey Conway of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Wilson has been cleared to return after he went to the locker room to be evaluated for a concussion. Wilson will come back at middle linebacker while Barrett Carter slides back to a rotational role.

Roberts (elbow) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Patriots.

Roberts injured his left elbow in the first quarter, and the issue is severe enough for him to miss the rest of Sunday's regular-season opener. With Roberts done for the day, Tommy Eichenberg will serve as the Raiders' middle linebacker the rest of the way.

Williams (hamstring) is listed as active Sunday against the Lions, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.

Williams has been battling a hamstring injury since mid-August, but after putting together a trio of three limited practices this week, the 2025 third-round pick will be available for his first NFL snap Sunday. Having said that, Green Bay's other wide receivers that were in the injury report -- Jayden Reed (foot) and Dontayvion Wicks (calf) -- also are active, so Williams may be on the outside looking in for snaps in a corps that includes rookie first-rounder Matthew Golden, Romeo Doubs and Malik Heath.

Winston (hamstring) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Broncos.

Winston was limited in practice all week due to a hamstring issue, and the rookie third-rounder will have to wait at least one more week to make his NFL regular-season debut. Quandre Diggs and Mike Brown will serve as the Titans' backup safeties behind Amani Hooker and Xavier Woods due to Winston's injury.
