Week 6 marks somewhat of a homecoming for numerous Raiders including head coach Josh McDaniels, quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo, and wide receiver Jakobi Meyers, the latter of whom may have had a sour departure from the franchise this offseason. The Patriots’ secondary is reeling through multiple injuries, potentially providing a path for Meyers to continue his recent resurgence.

Seibert has missed the last two games due to a hip injury but will be back kicking for the Commanders in Sunday’s game against the Cowboys. Seibert has been one of the most valuable players on Washington’s roster this season, converting 25-of-27 field goals while going a perfect 22-for-22 on his extra points. He should have plenty of opportunities in Sunday’s game against the Cowboys porous defense.

There are no major surprises here as Fuller could not make it back from a concussion he suffered in Week 10. 2023 second-round pick Cam Smith should see more snaps in his absence. The big names for Miami are the ones that are not here as both Alec Ingold and Terron Armstead will be active, which should be a big boost for De’von Achane and the running game.

Gonzalez had been listed as questionable earlier in the week, but the Patriots always felt like he was trending toward playing. After doing a pre-game workout, he was deemed good to go which is a big help with the Patriots set to take on Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle today.

Raimann still has not practiced since injuring his knee in practice a couple Wednesdays ago. His Week 13 status is probably up in the air at this point. The rest of this list is the usual inactives for Indianapolis, with three repeats and third quarterback Ehlinger joining Land — who had played in 10 of 11 games so far for the Colts this year despite just one tackle.

No real surprises here. K.J. Osborn continues to be inactive despite putting together some solid stretches for the Vikings in previous seasons.

LaPorta will play through his shoulder ailment against a Colts defense giving up the third most receptions to tight ends in 2024. With touchdowns in two of his past three outings, LaPorta has emerged from his early-season funk and profiles as a top-15 tight end. The Lions declared CB Terrion Arnold, G Kayode Awosika, DT Brodric Martin, T Giovanni Manu, OL Colby Sorsdal, and LB Al-Quadin Muhammed inactive against the Colts.

Arnold will miss his first game of the season with a groin injury. He got in a full practice on Friday and will probably trend towards playing on Thanksgiving. Emmanuel Moseley (pectoral) is playing off a questionable tag. Everyone else on the list is inactive as a healthy scratch.

Lewis will make his first appearance since injuring his elbow in Week 4 against the Steelers. His addition should be a boon for a Colts front seven that has struggled to pressure the passer in recent weeks. The Colts declared QB Sam Ehlinger, WR Anthony Gould, S Darren Hall, DE Isaiah Land, TE Will Mallory, and LT Bernhard Raimann inactive against the Lions.

Oliver was ruled out on Friday with an ankle injury. His absence will clear the way for T.J. Hockenson’s role to grow in his fourth game back from his 2023 torn ACL. Johnny Mundt should also see a few extra snaps with Oliver out.

The hits keep on coming for the Cowboys, who revealed on Saturday that they would be without both Martin (ankle) and Diggs (groin/knee). Ferguson will miss Sunday’s game after suffering a concussion in last week’s loss to the Texans, leaving the them without several key starters in what has the makings of a disastrous game on the road against the Commanders. Tight end Luke Schoonmaker, who caught 6-of-10 targets for 56 yards in last week’s game makes for a viable streaming option in place of Ferguson.
