Bouye (coach's decision) is expected to play Sunday at Dallas, according to Joe Person of The Athletic.
Carolina's head coach Matt Rhule said he expects Bouye to feature Sunday in what would be the season debut for the veteran cornerback. Bouye missed the first two contests of the season due to an existing suspension that extended into 2021 and was apparently dealing with a soft-tissue injury over the last few days, but the coach's words make it fairly clear that he's going to take the field at some point Sunday.

Panthers' A.J. Bouye: Suspension lifted
Rotowire
Bouye's suspension was officially uplifted Monday, Howard Balzer of SI.com reports.
Bouye, while with the Broncos, was suspended for six games in the latter half of the 2020 NFL season for violating the league's performance-enhancing drugs policy. He has now completed the suspension and will be available for the Panthers going forward. He is expected to provide depth at cornerback.

Panthers' A.J. Bouye: Sidelined with soft-tissue injury
Rotowire
Coach Matt Rhule said Thursday that Bouye (suspension) could miss "a couple weeks" due to a soft-tissue injury, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.
Bouye is already set to miss the first two games of the 2021 season due to a suspension for violating the league's performance-enhancing drugs policy, making his earliest possible return date Week 3. As long as the veteran cornerback has managed to return by then, he could push for a starting spot across from Donte Jackson, but it won't be good news if Bouye is forced to miss a significant amount of practice time.

Broncos' A.J. Bouye: Suspended six games
Rotowire
The NFL has officially suspended Bouye six games for violating the performance-enhancing drugs policy, Mike Klis of 9News Denver reports.
Bouye's suspension rules him out for the remainder of the 2020 campaign and will additionally carry over to the first two games of 2021. In the meantime, rookie third-round pick Michael Ojemudia could be asked to handle an expanded role.

Broncos' A.J. Bouye: Handed PED suspension
Rotowire
Bouye is facing a suspension for violating the NFL's performance-enhancing drugs policy, Mike Klis of 9News Denver reports.
While the length of Bouye's ban isn't yet known, Klis notes that the cornerback's suspension is related to the ones currently being served by the Texans' Will Fuller and Bradley Roby. Both of those players were handed six-game suspensions last week, so Bouye will most likely be in line for a ban of similar length. If Bouye's suspension is confirmed, it would be yet another major blow to a Denver secondary that within the last week moved Bryce Callahan (foot) to injured reserve and lost Essang Bassey to a season-ending ACL tear.

Broncos' A.J. Bouye: Back to full-go in practice
Rotowire
Bouye (concussion) was on the field as a full participant during the Broncos' practice session Thursday, Troy Renck of Denver 7 News reports.
Coach Vic Fangio announced Bouye as having cleared the NFL's concussion protocol Wednesday, and a return to a full practice workload bodes well for his Week 10 status heading into a road test against the Raiders. Bouye suffered the concussion Week 8 against the Chargers, and so far it appears he is on track to miss just one contest. The former Jaguar has allowed one passing touchdown against him in three appearances thus far this season, surrendering a 68.8 percent completion rate when targeted in coverage.

Broncos' A.J. Bouye: Clears concussion protocol
Rotowire
Coach Vic Fangio said Wednesday that Bouye has cleared the concussion protocol, Mike Klis of 9News Denver reports.
Bouye was limited in Wednesday's practice, as Troy Renck of Denver 7 News reports. He'll have two more chances to upgrade to full participation ahead of Sunday's game in Las Vegas, though, so it's safe to say that Bouye is at least trending in the right direction for Week 10.

Broncos' A.J. Bouye: Won't dress Sunday
Rotowire
Bouye (concussion) won't suit up Sunday against Atlanta, Zac Stevens of DNVR Sports reports.
Bouye still hasn't cleared concussion protocol since getting concussed in last week's win over the Chargers. He'll need to do so before his team's Week 10 road tilt in Las Vegas in order to be eligible to play in that one.

Broncos' A.J. Bouye: Remains absent from practice
Rotowire
Bouye (concussion) did not practice Thursday, Troy Renck of Denver 7 News reports.
Bouye will need to fully clear the league's five-step concussion protocol before being cleared to retake the field, so he's running out of time to return in time for Sunday's game in Atlanta. Duke Dawson and Essang Bassey will stand to handle increased snaps if Bouye misses more time.

Broncos' A.J. Bouye: Won't face Steelers, could hit IR
Rotowire
Bouye (shoulder) is considered week-to-week and won't suit up in Pittsburgh on Sunday, Mike Klis of 9News Denver reports.
Bouye will be forced to miss time due to the dislocated shoulder he suffered during Monday's loss to the Titans. If the initial recovery timetable of two to three weeks is accurate, it wouldn't be surprising for Denver to place Bouye on injured reserve to free up a roster spot. Per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, Bouye won't require any surgical procedures to address the injury.

Broncos' A.J. Bouye: Sustains dislocated shoulder
Rotowire
Bouye dislocated his shoulder in Monday's win over the Titans, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
The team will run additional tests to see the extent of the damage, but at this time, Bouye's trending in the wrong direction ahead of Week 2's matchup versus the Steelers. When Bouye exited the game Monday, Bryce Callahan bumped to the outside and Essang Bassey covered the slot, and the Broncos could roll with a similar formation if Bouye is forced to miss time.

Jaguars' A.J. Bouye: Dealing with wrist issue
Rotowire
Bouye is questionable for Sunday's game versus Indianapolis with a wrist injury.
Bouye was able to work as a limited practice participant throughout the week, which should give him a solid chance of suiting up Sunday. The veteran cornerback has recorded a career-high 65 tackles (50 solo) and one interception through 14 games.

Jaguars' A.J. Bouye: Still held out of practice
Rotowire
Bouye was a nonparticipant at Tuesday practice as he continues to deal with hamstring soreness, Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com reports.
Bouye continues to deal with a lingering injury and could potentially miss the entire week per DiRocco. The team will likely keep close tabs on the 27-year-old, and the hope is that the injury doesn't turn into a larger issue. As long as Bouye is sidelined, Quenton Meeks could see an increase in reps at practice.

Jaguars' A.J. Bouye: Held out Sunday
Rotowire
Bouye was unable to practice Sunday due to hamstring soreness, John Oehser of the Jaguars' official site reports.
Bouye was limited in practice Saturday and was downgraded to absent from practice Sunday. The team did indicate that it's likely a precautionary measure for the veteran, as he's just been diagnosed with "soreness" at this stage. The 27-year-old shouldn't be sidelined for too long, but expect that team to keep close tabs on him heading into the preseason.

Jaguars' A.J. Bouye: Status uncertain for Week 10
Rotowire
Bouye (calf) indicated Wednesday he wasn't going to play Sunday against the Colts, Phillip Heilman of The Florida Times-Union reports.
Bouye apparently neglected to provide the news to his coach, as Doug Marrone said, "I guess I'll have to talk to him about that. That's not what the trainer told me." The 27-year-old did not practice Wednesday as he continues to nurse the calf injury that forced him to sit out the Week 8 loss against the Eagles. Bouye's injury situation should receive some additional clarity as the practice week unfolds.

Jaguars' A.J. Bouye: No practice Wednesday
Rotowire
Bouye (calf) did not practice Wednesday.
Bouye does not appear to have fully recovered from his calf injury during Jacksonville's bye week and should be considered questionable for Sunday's game against the Colts. If Bouye is unable to return to practice this week, Tyler Patmon could serve as the Jaguars' top right cornerback Week 10.
