Penning (toe) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Cardinals.

The 2022 first-round pick from Northern Iowa didn't practice all week due to a toe injury, making it no surprise that he's been ruled out ahead of Sunday. Dillon Radunz is expected to serve as the Saints' top left guard while Penning remains sidelined.

TeSlaa (illness) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game at Green Bay.

He returned to full practice participation Friday after being listed as limited the previous two days. The rookie third-round pick scored three touchdowns during the preseason, and he should have a role in the Lions' Week 1 offense after they traded Tim Patrick to Jacksonville last week -- a move seemingly linked to TeSlaa's accelerated development. In any case, Kalif Raymond is the remaining competition for whatever WR snaps don't go to standouts Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jameson Williams.

Diabate (quadriceps) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Bengals, Mary Kay Cabot of the Cleveland Plan Dealer reports.

Diabate was limited in practice Wednesday and Thursday but upgraded to full participation Friday to avoid a Week 1 injury designation. He's expected to occupy a starting linebacker role for the Browns in 2025.

Winston (hamstring) is listed as doubtful ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Broncos, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Winston was a limited participant in practice both Wednesday and Thursday due to a hamstring issue, and he's unlikely to suit up for Week 1. With the 2025 third-round pick expected to be sidelined Sunday, Mike Brown could see increased reps as a rotational safety.

Monangai (hamstring) was a limited participant in practice Friday.

The Bears also listed Monangai as limited Thursday, when they didn't hold a strenuous practice and the report was just an estimate. He at least appears ahead of fellow backup running back Roschon Johnson, who was a non-participant both days due to a calf injury. Monangai, a rookie seventh-round pick, should get some touches off the bench behind D'Andre Swift if he's healthy enough to play Monday night.

Campbell (ankle) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's contest against the Raiders, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.

Campbell popped up on the Patriots' injury report Thursday with an ankle injury that limited him in the team's final two practices of the week. The 2025 first-round pick is slated to serve as New England's top left tackle, but if he's unable to suit up in Week 1, Vederian Lowe will likely step in and protect Drake Maye's blind side.

Stills (heel) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Saints, Bo Brack of PHNX Sports reports.

Stills managed a limited practice Friday after being sidelined Thursday. If he suits up for Sunday's season opener, Stills will likely play a rotational role in Arizona's pass rush.

McCaffrey (calf) is warming up in uniform at the start of Friday's practice, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

McCaffrey appears ready to practice, one day after the 49ers added him to their injury report as a limited participant due to a calf issue. It's a sign that he hopes to play though the concern this Sunday at Seattle, although fantasy managers surely remain worried, given last year's saga with a so-called calf injury.

Johnson (foot) didn't practice Friday.

Johnson also was listed as a non-participant on Thursday's practice estimate, putting his availability in doubt ahead of Monday's season opener against Minnesota. Fellow backup running back Kyle Monangai is listed as a limited participant this week, while starter D'Andre Swift isn't on the injury report at all. Things are trending toward a busy Monday night for Swift, albeit against a tough Vikings defense that held him to 109 yards on 32 carries (3.4 YPC) in two matchups last year.

Hall (knee) won't play in Sunday's matchup against the Bengals, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Hall upgraded to limited sessions Thursday and Friday after missing practice Wednesday. However, it still appears his knee injury will sideline him for Cleveland's regular-season opener. Adin Huntington and Shelby Harris could see increased work as rotational interior defensive linemen with Hall out Sunday.
