Stafford (concussion) was a limited practice participant Friday and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.

Stafford's return to practice at the end of the week gives him at least some chance to play Sunday, after he was placed in concussion protocol Tuesday and held out of practice Wednesday and Thursday. The Rams will turn to backup quarterback John Wolford if Stafford isn't cleared by the team's medical staff and an independent neurologist before Sunday. The Rams and Cardinals are scheduled for a 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff.

Rodgers (thumb) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against Dallas.

The right thumb injury may still bother Rodgers but didn't represent a threat to his availability this week. Other players cleared from the injury report Friday include running back Aaron Jones and wideouts Allen Lazard and Sammy Watkins, while receiver Romeo Doubs (ankle) will miss the first of multiple games.

Murray (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Rams, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

The questionable designation was inevitable once head coach Kliff Kingsbury referred to the quarterback as a game-time decision earlier Friday when he spoke with reporters. Murray was a limited practice participant Thursday and Friday after sitting out Wednesday, so his mobility may be limited even if he suits up. The Rams and Cardinals are scheduled for a 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff, and Colt McCoy is the next up at quarterback if Murray is placed on the inactive list 90 minutes before game time.

Bridgewater (knee) was a limited participant during practice Friday and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Browns, Travis Wingfield of the Dolphins' official site reports.

Bridgewater unexpectedly popped up on Miami's injury report Friday, though it's unclear when or how this knee issue first arose. The veteran signal-caller was previously sidelined with a concussion and also dealt with a pectoral injury that kept him limited up until Week 6, leaving rookie Skylar Thompson to step in for injured starting quarterback Tua Tagovailoa for two games. If Bridgewater's game status does not improve heading into Sunday, then Thompson should slot in as the Dolphins' No. 2 quarterback against Cleveland in Week 10.

Allen (elbow) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Vikings after being deemed a limited practice participant Friday, Chris Brown of the Bills' official site reports.

According to Brown, Allen wasn't on the field for the media-access portion of Friday's practice, but the quarterback evidently got in some work behind the scenes. At this stage, Allen's Week 10 availability is up in the air, with head coach Sean McDermott telling Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com earlier Friday that the signal-caller's status is being viewed as an "hour-to-hour situation." With that in mind, Allen is shaping up as a game-day call ahead of Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff. If Allen is unable to play versus Minnesota, backup Case Keenum would be in line to draw the start for Buffalo.

Keenum could make his first start of the season in Sunday's game against the Vikings with top quarterback Josh Allen (elbow) listed as questionable but uncertain to play in the Week 10 contest, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.

While tending to an injury to the UCL in his throwing elbow and related nerves, Allen sat out practices Wednesday and Thursday before returning as a limited participant Friday. The limited session might have been good enough for Allen to avoid being ruled out heading into the weekend, but head coach Sean McDermott described the signal-caller's status as an "hour-to-hour situation," which suggests Allen may be trending toward a game-time call in advance of Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff. With Allen missing practice time due to the elbow injury, Keenum has taken most of the first-team work the past three days and could be pressed into his first extended action for the Bills. Though Keenum has made 64 career regular-season NFL starts, his lone two appearances with Buffalo have thus far come during garbage-time scenarios late in uncompetitive games.

Titans head coach Mike Vrabel said that Tannehill (ankle) was a limited participant in Friday's practice, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Tennessee has yet to give Tannehill an official designation for Sunday's game against the Broncos, but the signal-caller appears to be trending toward another questionable tag after missing the Titans' previous two contests. Tannehill took part in practices throughout the week, bookending a full session Thursday with limited showings Wednesday and Friday. Vrabel said that before a decision on Tannehill's status is formally made, he'll "see how things go" leading up to Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff, with a walk-through session Saturday perhaps guiding the Titans' plans, according to Turron Davenport of ESPN.com. If the Titans determine that Tannehill isn't ready to play this weekend, Malik Willis would be on tap for his third consecutive start.

Stafford (concussion) will be listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, with head coach Sean McVay noting Friday that the quarterback is "making good progress," Stu Jackson of the team's official site reports.

Stafford entered the NFL's concussion protocol Tuesday and didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday. He'll now take the field Friday and hope to be cleared by an independent neurologist over the weekend before the Rams and Cardinals kick off at 4:25 p.m. ET on Sunday.

Cardinals head coach Kliff Kingsbury said Murray (hamstring) will be a game-time decision for Sunday's matchup with the Rams, Tyler Drake of ArizonaSports.com reports.

Arizona has yet to release its final Week 10 injury report, but Murray will presumably be listed as questionable after sitting out Wednesday's walk-through session before returning to the field Thursday as a limited participant. According to Drake, Murray was also on the field for the open portion of Friday's session, but he'll most likely take part in a limited capacity once again as he looks to limit the strain on his injured hamstring. The fact that Murray was able to practice in any fashion two days in a row bodes well for his chances of suiting up this weekend, but the hamstring issue may result in him being less active as a runner, coming off a Week 9 loss to the Seahawks in which he produced his second-best rushing yardage total (60) of the season. The Cardinals and Rams will kick off at 4:25 p.m. ET among the later wave of games, so fantasy managers may want to have an alternative option ready to go in the event the news surrounding Murray's status takes a turn for the worse.

Interim head coach Steve Wilks said Friday that he expects Walker to start Week 11 against Baltimore, but the staff will continue to evaluate the quarterback position ahead of the game, Augusta Stone of the Panthers' official site reports.

Walker completed 10 of 16 passes for 108 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions in a 25-15 win over Atlanta on Thursday, getting some assistance from a trio of dropped picks. He was benched at halftime for Baker Mayfield the week before in a blowout loss to Cincinnati, and he somehow has accounted for only 671 passing yards, 39 rushing yards and three touchdowns through five starts while leading the Panthers to a 2-3 record. If Walker does indeed get another start, he'll be at or near the bottom of most Week 11 quarterback fantasy rankings.
