San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Mike Evans missed a second consecutive practice on Friday as he copes with rib and Achilles issues.

Evans was spotted working on the side and has one final opportunity to practice Saturday before game status designations.
Washington Commanders running back Rachaad White was limited in Friday's practice due to a shoulder injury, dropping from a full participant on Thursday.

Baltimore Ravens center Cam Jurgens has been officially ruled out for Sunday's Week 6 game against the Cleveland Browns due to a concussion. Acquired via trade from the Philadelphia Eagles last week, Jurgens was unable to clear the NFL's concussion protocol in time for kickoff.

Head coach Jesse Minter stated the decision was in Jackson's best interest. Jackson suffered the injury in Week 4 against the Titans and has not practiced for two straight weeks. Backup Tyler 'Snoop' Huntley will start in his place after leading Baltimore to an overtime win over Atlanta in Week 5.
Washington Commanders wide receiver Stefon Diggs returned to a limited practice session on Friday as he continues to recover from a hamstring injury. Diggs previously missed Week 5's game against the New York Giants and sat out Thursday's practice before taking part in stretch and limited drills on Friday. Saturday's practice will be critical in determining whether Diggs can suit up for Monday night's contest against the San Francisco 49ers.
Washington Commanders running back Jacory Croskey-Merritt remained sidelined at practice on Friday due to an ongoing groin injury. Despite not practicing last week, Croskey-Merritt played in Week 5 against the Giants, logging a 36 percent snap share and producing 82 rushing yards and a touchdown on 11 carries. Saturday's practice will determine his availability for Monday night's matchup against the San Francisco 49ers.

The Bears hope Williams' return will trigger a breakout performance for the young tight end.
Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson enters Week 6 with a favorable matchup against a depleted Chicago Bears front seven.

With the Bears' run defense struggling and short-handed, Robinson is primed for a heavy workload and significant production on the ground during Sunday's contest in Atlanta.
Chicago Bears wide receiver Kalif Raymond enters Week 6 against the Atlanta Falcons looking to reignite his production with quarterback Caleb Williams set to return to the starting lineup.

Buffalo Bills defensive lineman Ed Oliver is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's Week 6 contest against the Las Vegas Raiders due to a knee injury.

The Bills did not rule any player out for Sunday, but Oliver's availability will remain a key storyline leading up to kickoff.
Buffalo Bills wide receiver DJ Moore is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's Week 6 game against the Las Vegas Raiders due to an AC joint shoulder injury.

If Moore is ruled out, Keon Coleman, Khalil Shakir, and Skyler Bell are expected to handle the majority of wide receiver routes for Buffalo.
Dallas Cowboys cornerback Joey Porter Jr. is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Green Bay Packers due to an ankle injury.
