RB Jeremy Langford (ankle, doubtful) -- inactive TE Charles Clay (knee, questionable) -- activeRuled out before SundayTE Eric Ebron (ankle), RB Theo Riddick (ankle), WR Markus Wheaton (shoulder), TE Jordan Cameron (concussion), TE Tyler Eifert (back), WR Corey Coleman (hand), QB Josh McCown (shoulder), WR Josh Doctson (Achilles), RB Latavius Murray (toe), QB Tony Romo (back), TE Jared Cook (ankle), RB James Starks (knee), RB Thomas Rawls (leg), WR Donte Moncrief (shoulder), TE Jordan Reed (concussion)Updates/analysis (most recent first)Dallas Cowboys (3:10 p.m.): Terrance Williams, who practiced all week, is active for todays game. Dez Bryant?is not. Lance Dunbar and Tony Romo also sit out this weeks game.Kam Chancellor (3:00 p.m.): The Seattle strong safety hurt his groin in practice last week and will miss todays game as a result. Kelcie McCray should get the start in his stead, and Atlanta could benefit in the short passing game as a result.Oakland Raiders (2:40 p.m.): The offensive line is a bit shorthanded today, as the team sits out a trio of tackles:?Menelik Watson, Matt McCants and Vadal Alexander. Running back Latavius Murray, as expected, also sits. TE Clive Walford will be active in the lone bit of positive injury news.Charcandrick West (2:35 p.m.): The running back (ankle) is active this week and will be one of the backups to?Jamaal Charles,?who is expected to get the bulk of the backfield work this afternoon. Knile Davis (concussion) is inactive.Will Fuller V (12:25 p.m.): There hasnt been anything official yet, and there probably wont be any news you can bank on until the rest of Sundays schedule has started. However, ESPNs Adam Schefter is reporting that the Houston wide receiver is unlikely to play tonight because of his hamstring injury.Robert Quinn (12:15 p.m.): Just a few hours ago, word was that Quinn would be able to play, but the Rams DE is not active for this Week 6 game against the Lions. Los Angeles might not be able to put as much pressure as hoped on Matthew Stafford.Reshad Jones (12:05 p.m.): ESPNs James Walker says the safetys situation is hard to gauge after he missed every practice this week, save for the light walk-through. Jones is Miamis best tackler, and their run defense is last in the league. He always has potential to post numbers if hes healthy enough to be productive, Walker says. IDP fantasy owners take note.Zach Brown (12:05 p.m.): The linebacker was questionable during the week but is indeed active and good to go. ESPNs Mike Rodak thinks Brown should get plenty of playing time unless his foot starts acting up, but his foot is not a major issue.Detroit Lions (noon): The teams inactives list has the names of both Theo Riddick and Dwayne Washington, which means RB duties will be shared by Justin Forsett and Zach Zenner.Rashad Jennings (11:55 a.m.): The Giants welcome back the running back after he had to sit out for three weeks because of a thumb injury. As long as he doesnt fumble the ball as a result of whatever wrap hes likely to be sporting, fantasy owners should be optimistic for a good day here.Chicago Bears (11:50 a.m.): Both Jay Cutler and Jeremy Langford remain out of the Bears lineup for this week, but Alshon Jeffery, Eddie Royal and Zach Miller are all active, which could mean a decent passing day from Brian Hoyer.Steve Smith Sr. (11:40 a.m.): The Ravens will sit the veteran because of his ankle injury. Mike Wallace and Kamar Aiken are the likeliest beneficiaries of this news.Cleveland Browns (11:30 a.m.): Tight end Gary Barnidge is active today, but the Browns will be without CB Joe Haden. Cody Kessler will start at quarterback, with Josh McCown closer to a return but still not ready.Sammie Coates (11:20 a.m.): ESPNs Jeremy Fowler reports that the wide receiver is going to play for the Steelers today, but of course, thats not a guarantee that he will see a full workload.Arian Foster (7:50 a.m.): The Miami RB should be on the field for warm-ups to see how his hamstring feels. The answer to that will likely fuel the Dolphins decision on Fosters status for todays game.Eddie Lacy (7:45 a.m.): The Packers running back is expected to play today, but as NFL Networks Ian Rapoport notes, he is likely to be the only active running back on the roster for the game. WR Randall Cobb would be used in the backfield should something befall Lacy.New England Patriots (7:40 a.m.): A bevy of questionables expect to suit up?for the team today, including LeGarrette Blount, Martellus Bennett and Julian Edelman. TE Rob Gronkowski, battling a bug, should be well enough to play for the Patriots.Sammie Coates (7:35 a.m.): According to ESPNs Adam Schefter, the Pittsburgh wide receiver, who is dealing with a fractured thumb, is going to be a game-time call.Dez Bryant (7:30 a.m.): Although the wide receiver returned to practice for the Cowboys this week, the odds of him actually being able to play today are slim, though he is expected to try to test his knee in pregame warm-ups.Official Sunday inactives should begin coming in at approximately 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.

We cannot and will not accept what in fact is pure discrimination.Putin said the athletes banned from the Olympics were victims of a campaign to present Russian sports in a bad light. He spoke with two-time Olympic pole-vaulting champion Yelena Isinbayeva, the most high-profile of the 67 track and field athletes banned from the games, standing beside him.Fighting back tears, Isinbayeva told Rio-bound Russian athletes: Show them what youre able to do -- for yourself and for us too.As the athletes walked across Red Square to meet Putin, some posed for selfies with Vitaly Mutko, whose sports ministry was accused by the World Anti-Doping Agency of orchestrating the doping cover-up. The sports minister has been blocked by the International Olympic Committee from attending the games next month but he remains in Putins government.The IAAF is the only sport to impose a near-blanket ban on Russians, only deeming one -- long jumper Darya Klishina -- eligible for Rio.The situation went beyond the legal field as well as common sense, Putin told the audience, which included many of the banned athletes. Its a well-planned campaign which targeted our athletes, which included double-standards and the concept of collective punishment which has nothing to do with justice or even basic legal norms.Not only have our athletes who never faced any specific accusations been hurt -- this is a blow to the entire global sports and the Olympic Games. Clearly, the absence of Russian aathletes who were leaders in some of the sports will affect the competition.ddddddddddddThere was positive news, however, from Putins ally, Alisher Usmanov, the Russian billionaire who is president of the International Fencing Federation.The governing body said it would allow the 16 Russian fencers who have qualified for the Rio Games to compete and it approved four reserves. The decision came after the FIE said it had re-examined 197 tests taken from Russian fencers in 35 countries over the last two years which all came back negative.The FIE did not respond to questions from The Associated Press about whether WADA investigator Richard McLarens evidence was considered before deciding to allow Russian fencers to compete in Rio.McLaren reported last week that four positive doping tests in Russian fencing and four in triathlon had disappeared in recent years.The International Triathlon Union said the three men and three women who qualified for Rio are not mentioned in the McLaren report and have not served past doping suspensions.They have all been tested outside of Russia, the ITU said in a statement. Therefore, ITU will recommend to the IOC that these six athletes be permitted to compete in Rio next month.Russian entries to the Olympics must still be examined and upheld by an expert from the Court of Arbitration for Sport.The International Gymnastics Federation said it has established a pool of eligible Russian athletes and is awaiting IOC approval.Individual sports federations were given the task of deciding which athletes should be cleared to compete in Rio by the International Olympic Committee on Sunday. In his native Germany, IOC President Thomas Bach is facing increasing criticism for failing to impose a complete ban on Russias team.Germanys national anti-doping agency chief Andrea Gotzmann said the decision does not follow the IOCs declared zero tolerance policy, saying Bach has missed a huge chance.Olympic discuss champion Robert Harting said he was ashamed of Thomas Bach.
