Coach Sean McVay said Friday he expects Stafford (concussion) to play Sunday in New Orleans, Stu Jackson of the Rams' official website reports.

Stafford was a full practice participant Wednesday and Thursday and apparently is on track to clear concussion protocol before Sunday. If so, he'll have a tough task ahead of him, playing behind an injury-riddled, struggling offensive line, with star receiver Cooper Kupp (ankle) out for at least four games and possibly the rest of the season. New Orleans also has been hit hard by injuries this year, including four defensive starters missing practice both Wednesday and Thursday.

Coach Kliff Kingsbury said Friday that he expects Murray (hamstring) to be a game-time decision Monday against the 49ers, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

Murray was considered a game-time decision last week after a pair of limited practices and didn't end up playing in a win over the Rams. He'll presumably have a better chance this time around, though he remains limited in practice and was seen Friday working with the training staff to test the injured hamstring. The Cardinals will release their final Week 11 injury report Saturday.

Jackson missed Friday's practice due to an illness, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

That said, coach John Harbaugh indicated that Jackson will be fine and remains on track to start Sunday's game against the Panthers. Following the QB's missed practice, however, Jackson still figures to head into the weekend with an injury designation ahead of the Ravens' 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff.

Jackson (undisclosed) wasn't spotted during the media-access portion of Friday's practice, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

The QB practiced fully both Wednesday and Thursday, but his status now is worth tracking ahead of Sunday's game against the Panthers. Friday's final injury report is slated to add further context with regard to Jackson's Week 11 availability.

Rodgers completed 24 of 39 passes for 227 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions in the Packers' 27-17 loss to the Titans on Thursday night. He also threw a two-point conversion pass.

Rodgers once again put up some serviceable numbers and had the benefit of getting Randall Cobb back from injured reserve, but the end result was still the Packers' third Lambeau Field loss of the season. The legendary signal-caller connected with Christian Watson from 14 and eight yards out on his two touchdown passes, and he hit Aaron Jones for a two-point conversion toss following the second score. Rodgers now has multiple touchdown passes in four of the last five games, sending him into a Week 12 road matchup against the Eagles a week from Sunday night with some momentum from a fantasy perspective despite his team's struggles.

Tannehill completed 22 of 27 passes for 333 yards with two touchdowns and one interception in the Titans' 27-17 win over the Packers on Thursday night. He also netted minus-3 yards on three rushes.

Tannehill was exceedingly sharp and vaulted over the 300-yard mark on his final completion of the night, a surprise 51-yarder to Treylon Burks down the left sideline against Jaire Alexander just before the two-minute warning. It put a fitting cap on a performance in which Tannehill averaged 12.3 yards per attempt while hitting eight different pass catchers overall. Tannehill did take another three sacks, but his efficient play over his first two games back from his ankle injury arguably makes the Titans as dangerous a team as any in the AFC going into the stretch run of the campaign. Tannehill's next opportunity to build on his strong stretch of play comes in a Week 12 home matchup against the Bengals a week from Sunday.

Wolford (neck) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

The Rams held Wolford out of Wednesday's session due to what coach Sean McVay called a stiff neck. With some activity one day later, Wolford seemingly is on a path to be available Sunday in New Orleans. Whether or not he'll get another start remains to be seen, as Matthew Stafford practiced fully for a second day in a row Thursday but remains in the concussion protocol. For what it's worth, McVay expects Stafford to gain clearance to play this weekend, but the situation should be monitored until that comes to pass.

Stafford (concussion) was a full practice participant Thursday, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

Stafford now has strung together back-to-back uncapped sessions, but there's been no word yet that he's cleared the five phases of the concussion protocol, which is where he's resided since last Tuesday, Nov. 8 and sidelined him this past Sunday against the Cardinals. Meanwhile, the Rams' No. 2 quarterback John Wolford was limited Thursday after sitting out Wednesday due to a stiff neck. Coach Sean McVay expects Stafford to play Sunday at New Orleans, but he likely still has to complete the last phase of the aforementioned protocol in order to do so.

McCoy (knee) was a limited practice participant Thursday, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

Both McCoy and No. 1 quarterback Kyler Murray (hamstring) had a cap on their reps to kick off Week 11 prep. Coach Kliff Kingsbury isn't expected to make a decision on the Cardinals' starting QB for Monday's game versus the 49ers in Mexico City until later this week, but if McCoy gets the nod over Murray for a second straight week, he'll be coming off a 238-yard, one-touchdown passing performance this past Sunday at the Rams.

Murray (hamstring) was limited at Thursday's practice, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

The same can be said for backup quarterback Colt McCoy (knee), who filled in for Murray this past Sunday at the Rams. Coach Kliff Kingsbury said Wednesday that he wouldn't be ready to make a decision on the Week 11 starter against the 49ers until later this week, but neither player appears to be ahead of the other at the moment. How the pair fares in practice Friday and Saturday likely will be the determining factor for Murray to keep his absence to just one game.
