Updated inactive designations ahead of Sunday's games flag two notable absences and two closely watched questionable tags.
Written by EGazette’s AI. The facts are drawn from cited sources; the analysis is the AI’s own.

ESPN's inactives tracker for Sunday's NFL Week 5 games confirmed that Monangai and Lamar Jackson will not play, after being ruled out ahead of kickoff.
Chase and Jeanty were both listed as questionable, meaning teams were still monitoring their status close to game time before making a final call on their availability.
The inactives report is updated throughout the day as teams finalize their rosters, reflecting the latest injury designations and official announcements from clubs ahead of the early and late Sunday windows.
Inactive lists are typically finalized roughly 90 minutes before kickoff, when teams submit their official gameday rosters to the league, and fantasy managers and bettors often track the late changes closely.
Analysts note that a questionable tag does not guarantee a player will sit, and status changes can still occur between pregame warmups and the opening kickoff.
