UNDATED (AP) — Arizona Cardinals coach Kliff Kingsbury remains away from the team after missing last week’s game due to a positive COVID-19 test.

Kingsbury, quarterbacks coach Cam Turner, Jones and defensive linemen Zach Allen and Corey Peters all missed last week’s 37-14 win over the Browns after testing positive.

The Cardinals face the Texans as they try to improve to 7-0 for the first time since 1974.

In other NFL news:

— Titans left tackle Taylor Lewan will not play against the Chiefs on Sunday as he recovers from a concussion. The Titans also declared out linebacker Monty Rice and wide receiver and punt returner Chester Rogers. Wide receiver Julio Jones is questionable with a hamstring along with outside linebacker Bud Dupree, who did not practice Friday due to a knee issue.

— Falcons defensive end Dante Fowler has been placed on injured reserve with a knee injury and will miss at least three games. It’s not clear when Fowler was injured.

— Dolphins coach Brian Flores has reiterated that Tua Tagovailoa (TOO’-ah tuhng-ah-vy-LOH’-ah) is “our quarterback.” There are reports that the Dolphins might be looking to acquire Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson, who is seeking a trade.

— While the Giants will again be without star running back Saquon (SAY’-kwahn) Barkley and playmaking receivers Kenny Golladay and Kadarius Toney, the offense is expected to get back wideout Darius Slayton. Slayton has led the team in yards receiving in his first two NFL seasons, but he has missed the last three games with a hamstring injury.

— The Bears have placed veteran tight end Jimmy Graham on the reserve/COVID-19 list. The five-time Pro Bowl selection has just one catch for 11 yards in his second season with Chicago. He joins running back Damien Williams and linebacker Robert Quinn on the COVID list.
