Sidelined by a foot/ankle injury, Pressley was battling Nate Collins, John McCargo, and Jordan Miller for one roster spot following the Brian Price trade.

Stevenson told Mike Reiss that he’s “ready to go” and that he just got “rolled up on” late in Week 4’s win over the Bills. We’d be surprised if he didn’t play on Sunday and he should be regarded on the optimistic side of questionable.

Slater suffered a high-ankle sprain and had surgery — a tight-rope procedure — to try to accelerate his return. Sounds like a pretty severe version of a high-ankle sprain. He’ll miss at least the next four weeks and be eligible to return in Week 9. The Bolts are dealing with a ton of injuries along their offensive line and it’s currently unknown how that will shake out for Week 5, which we’re sure Justin Herbert is loving.

The Bears have a progression plan in place for Williams’ rehab, and per Johnson, the star quarterback is “right on track.” Williams resumed throwing “a little bit the other day.” Although the team does not yet know when Williams will retake the field on game day, they have set up a series of benchmarks for him to hit. Their Week 7 Thursday Night Football game could complicate things. Bringing Williams back in Week 6 would give him a short turnaround, and he could be sore after his first game back. Expect them to handle this cautiously. The Bears currently sit in second in the NFC North with a 3-1 record.

Dalton was demoted to the QB3 spot after throwing an end zone interception while Jalen Hurts was going through a concussion check in Week 3. Someone will take his spot on the active roster. We just don’t know who that will be. Eagles general manager Howie Roseman is making moves. Expect more to follow.

As expected, he’ll start and be on the QB1/QB2 borderline against an extremely pesky and attacking Vikings defense that has held down quarterback scoring quite well so far this year.

The Saints gave Olave a rest day on Wednesday. He then logged a limited practice on Thursday, listed with a new foot injury, and was reportedly seen sporting a walking boot after practice. ESPN’s Kat Terrell notes, however, that “walking boots are often a precautionary measure.” The fact that the team cleared him right away is reassuring. He can be treated as a low-end WR1, as usual. Olave later told Terrell that his “foot got a little bruised in Thursday’s practice, but he’s good.”

Kamara practiced on Thursday and seems likely to be the “lead” back in New Orleans’ committee against Minnesota on Sunday. If he is ruled out, Kendre Miller and CJ Donaldson will receive boosts.

He did not practice all week with the concussion. Brian O’Neill is questionable. Ryan Van Demark will likely play left tackle for Darrisaw, while 2026 third-rounder Caleb Tiernan is the likely reserve if O’Neill can’t go.

The Raiders activated Thornton’s 21-day practice window this week. Despite the young wide receiver saying he feels “ready to play,” the team has determined that he needs more time. With Jalen Nailor (concussion) also ruled out, Cody White (ankle) and Malik Benson will round out three-wide receiver sets behind Tre Tucker.

Addison practiced on Thursday and Friday after taking Wednesday off. We’d consider him on the optimistic side of questionable for Sunday’s game against New Orleans, but he will probably only be a WR3/FLEX play if Justin Jefferson (ankle) also returns.
