Right tackle Moses for the Jets remains sidelined due‍ to ⁤a ‌knee injury. He was unable to practice on Wednesday or‌ Friday but did participate in a limited ⁢capacity on ‍Thursday.⁤ Linebacker Mosley will also miss another game due to a recurring toe injury; he⁣ was limited throughout practice​ this week. Although Aaron Rodgers appeared on the injury ​report with a knee issue, he fully participated in practice and carries ​no game designation into Sunday.

The Vikings’ usual starting tight end ​is not yet ready to make his debut in 2024, although he⁣ did participate in practice on a limited⁢ basis on Friday.

Baltimore has opened Maulet’s practice window this week, but he will not make his return against Cincinnati, as ‌the team⁤ has confirmed he is out for Week 5. In contrast, Ali, ⁤Harty, and ‌Vorhees were all tagged as questionable but completed‌ a full practice on Friday.

Rankins is doubtful to​ play after not practicing all ⁣week, while Hilton is also listed as questionable ⁣and similarly ​missed the entire week. Murphy, however, was a full‌ participant in every practice⁣ and could make his‌ 2024 debut this Sunday.

The​ Panthers face significant defensive losses‌ against the Bears, with linebackers Jewell and Thompson both ruled out. Thompson will⁤ miss the​ remainder ⁢of the 2024 season due to an Achilles injury. Defensive ‍tackle Tuttle ⁣is questionable to return, as he was limited in practice due ‍to a ⁤foot injury. Although the Panthers have⁣ quietly boasted one ⁤of the best offensive lines in ⁣the NFL this season,⁢ losing Hunt to⁤ a hip injury would be a ​significant setback.

Pickens and Smith did not practice at all this week, leading to their expected ruling‌ out. Carter ‍and Jenkins, ⁢both ​nursing rib injuries and listed as questionable, missed practice on Wednesday⁤ but were limited participants on Thursday and Friday.

The Colts have confirmed that ⁢Taylor⁤ will not ⁤play in Week 5 as⁣ he continues to recover from a high ankle ⁣sprain. With him sidelined, Trey Sermon is expected to handle the majority of the carries. ‍Quarterback Richardson has been downgraded from ‌questionable to doubtful due to an ‌ob“`html

Buffalo has declared Shakir out for⁣ Week 5 after he did not practice during the week, marking a significant ⁢loss as he has ⁤been a reliable target in the passing game.

Mixon’s absence should not come as ‍a surprise, as he did not practice at all this week. ⁢The ⁣same goes for Barnett. Furthermore, Howard appeared on the report Thursday and missed ​practice ⁤on Friday, leading to concerns about his questionable ‍status.

Denver enters⁣ Week 5 in relatively good health,⁤ with the only player on the injury ⁣report ⁣being Tyler Badie, who has been ruled out due to a back injury sustained in Week 4.
