As is Chris Olave (hamstring). Whereas Olave seems like a snap-count concern after his late-week soft-tissue injury, Kamara’s status never appeared to be in much doubt. He can still be fired up as an RB1 for this twice-annual grudge match. Inactive for the Saints are QB Spencer Rattler, TE Dallin Holker, DT John Ridgeway, LB Demario Davis, OG Cesar Ruiz and WR A.T. Perry.

Patterson was carted to the locker room after walking to the sideline under his own power. The veteran running back was seeing significant run as the Steelers’ RB2 and had 62 yards from scrimmage on eight touches before exiting. With halftime nearing, we’ll see if the Steelers allow him to continue playing at the start of the third quarter.

Jenkins left in the second quarter of the Bears’ Week 4 game against the Rams due to a rib injury. He headed straight to the locker room and is questionable to return, but his absence is notable given the struggles of Chicago’s offensive line. Caleb Williams has been under constant pressure the first few weeks of the season and the offensive line already had four penalties at time of Jenkins’ exit in Week 4. Matt Pryor comes in for the Bears at guard with Jenkins out.

Tunsil was checked on the bench by the trainer in the middle of the second quarter, went to the blue medical tent, and eventually headed in to the locker room. Rookie Blake Fisher replaced Tunsil at left tackle.

Palmer drew the start in place of Jalen McMillan this week. McMillan suffered a hamstring injury at practice and was ruled out ahead of kickoff. Palmer was off to a hot start with three grabs for 26 yards and a touchdown in the first quarter before exiting the game with a concussion. Kameron Johnson and Sterling Shepard will get some extra reps for the undermanned Bucs squad in the second half.

Things felt like they were trending this way after Richardson was in visible pain, walking to the sideline and grabbing at his hip on each of his last two plays of the game. Richardson was playing well before exiting, completing 3-of-4 passes for 71 yards while adding another 24 yards on the ground. Richardson’s status will be one to watch ahead of next week’s game against the Jaguars.

Badie took a shot to the back on a first quarter carry and was seen receiving medical care on the sideline before trainers placed Badie on a stretcher and carried him to the Denver locker room. It appeared to be an increasingly serious medical situation. Badie had emerged as a big part of the backfield in Week 3. He’s considered questionable to return to the game.

He received his first carry of the game as the first quarter wound down. The status of his shoulder injury apparently is not bad enough to keep him from playing.

Richardson took a hard hit on a run in the first quarter against the Steelers. After briefly attempting to play through the injury, the Colts’ QB1 exited the field and went to the locker room. He was visibly hobbled after the injury, but the team will further evaluate him before deciding whether or not to rule him out for the remainder of the day.

Etienne got crushed on a blitz on one of his two snaps. He did not see a carry before leaving and Tank Bigsby was seeing carries before him. It’s not a happy football Sunday for Etienne-reliant managers.
