Updates/analysis (most recent first)

Green Bay Packers (3 p.m.): Randall Cobb and Ty Montgomery are both officially inactive for today's game.

San Diego Chargers (2:40 p.m.): Philip Rivers will indeed have Hunter Henry, Travis Benjamin and Tyrell Williams at his disposal this afternoon, as all three questionable players are active.

Denver Broncos (2:30 p.m.): The Broncos' defense will not be as healthy as hoped this afternoon. Both ILB Brandon Marshall and CB Aqib Talib, who had returned to practice on Friday, are inactive for today's game.

Ty Montgomery (1:50 p.m.): Jay Glazer of Fox Sports is reporting that Montgomery (illness) will not play today for the Packers. We'll know for sure once the inactive list comes out but, if true, Knile Davis and Don Jackson would be the emergency fantasy starters to grab from Green Bay.

Arizona Cardinals (11:55 a.m.): Both John Brown and Michael Floyd are active for today's game, which may divert some of the defensive attention away from Larry Fitzgerald.

Bryce Petty (11:50 a.m.): Should anything befall quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick today, the Jets will turn to Petty, who is now the team's No. 2 option at the position in the wake of the injury to Geno Smith.

Detroit Lions (11:45 a.m.): A trio of defenders will sit this one out for Detroit as Darius Slay, DeAndre Levy and Haloti Ngata are all inactive. It remains to be seen if the Houston offense will take advantage of the situation, especially with Lamar Miller, though active, a bit banged up.

Joe Haden (11:40 a.m.): Cleveland will play the cornerback, who has been dealing with a groin injury. New York's Brandon Marshall will likely have to deal with Haden's presence for as long as he can stay on the field.

Washington Redskins (8:10 a.m.): We knew Matt Jones would be out, opening the door for Robert Kelley to handle the rushing duties. The good news is that all of the other major questionables are active, including Josh Norman, who should spend most of the morning shadowing A.J. Green of the Bengals.

Tyler Eifert (8 a.m.): There should be no worries about the Cincinnati tight end this week, as the Bengals have declared C.J. Uzomah to be a healthy inactive. They certainly wouldn't do that without being confident that Eifert could play a full 60 minutes.

LeSean McCoy (7:40 a.m.): According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, the Bills RB will not be able to suit up against the Patriots today, as he is still nursing a hamstring injury. Mike Gillislee is expected to start in his stead, though he was limited in practice on Friday due to a toe injury of his own.

Lamar Miller (7:35 a.m.): The Houston running back is "adamant" that he will play against Detroit this afternoon, according to the NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. However, even if he does convince the Texans to let him suit up, he may not truly be able to handle a full workload. Tread carefully for fantasy.

Julian Edelman (7:30 a.m.): A source tells ESPN's Adam Schefter that both Edelman and TE Martellus Bennett will be able to play for the Patriots today, despite the questionable status for both on the New England injury report.

Michael Bennett (7:25 a.m.): The defensive lineman will sit for the first time in his career as surgery is now on tap for a cartilage issue in his knee. The NFL Network's Ian Rapoport says a two- to three-week absence can be expected. Seattle's defense is already without Kam Chancellor, so the Saints' potent offense should have a solid Sunday.

Randall Cobb (7:20 a.m.): The Packers, fearing that Cobb's hamstring injury may linger, are planning to be extra careful with the wide receiver. As such, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that Cobb is not expected to be active for Sunday's game against the Falcons.

Official Sunday inactives should begin coming in at approximately 8 a.m. ET for the London game, 11:30 a.m. ET for the early games, 2:30 p.m. ET for the later set and 7 p.m. ET for the Sunday night game.
