Swift (groin) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Rams.

It's the seventh time in seven weeks he's been listed as questionable, despite playing well over half the offensive snaps in each of Detroit's contests. Swift and Jamaal Williams get a tough matchup with Aaron Donald and the Rams this weekend.

Edmonds (shoulder) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against Houston, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Edmonds even closed out the practice week as a full participant after being limited throughout October. The Cardinals may have enough strength to keep both Edmonds and James Conner happy this Sunday against the one-win Texans.

The Ravens ruled Murray (ankle) out for Sunday's game against the Bengals.

With Murray sidelined due to a sprained left ankle, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com relays that Devonta Freeman could be in line to start this weekend. Meanwhile, Le'Veon Bell is expected to see added touches out of the backfield, and Ty'Son Williams should be active after being a healthy scratch Week 6. With Baltimore on bye in Week 8, Murray will target a potential return to action Nov. 7 against the Vikings.

Penny (calf), who was designated to return from injured reserve Friday, said that he shouldn't have any limitations Monday against the Saints, Adam Jude of The Seattle Times reports.

Penny has been out since Week 1 and returns to a backfield missing top option Chris Carson (neck). Fellow veteran Alex Collins has filled in effectively, but he's now missing practice time with a groin injury, potentially leaving just Penny, DeeJay Dallas and Travis Homer as the options for Monday. It's possible Penny would be the lead runner in that scenario, though injuries of his own have limited him to four games over the past two seasons. Dallas could also be the choice, while Homer has mostly been used for pass blocking and third downs. Expect the Seahawks to formally activate Penny from IR by Sunday.

Wilkins (illness) has been ruled out for Sunday's game at San Francisco.

Wilkins has missed the past two games while battling the illness, and he'll be sidelined again for this weekend. The 27-year-old will need to return to practice in some capacity before having a chance to return to game action.

Hasty (ankle) is participating in Friday's practice, and he's eligible to be removed from IR before Sunday's game against the Colts, Cam Inman of the San Jose Mercury, East Bay Times reports.

If Hasty looks good in practice, he could re-enter San Francisco's running back rotation as soon as Sunday. Based on his usage prior to his IR stint, Hasty will likely work as the No. 2 option behind Elijah Mitchell and ahead of Trey Sermon once he's cleared to return. Hasty will need to be officially removed from IR before he can suit up, though as this point, it's almost a foregone conclusion that he'll be back at some point before the 21-day activation window expires.

Barkley (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Carolina, Zack Rosenblatt of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.

While Barkley was out last week, Devontae Booker took on a 72-percent snap share and 16 touches in a 38-11 loss to the Rams. Though he hasn't yet returned to practice since suffering a sprained left ankle, Barkley will have an extra day on the schedule to help him try to avoid a third straight absence, with the Giants facing the Chiefs on "Monday Night Football" in Week 8.

Gibson (shin), though listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Packers, said Friday that he's confident he'll play this weekend, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.

The running back acknowledged suffering a painful aggravation of his injury last weekend, but he said it didn't affect his play once he returned to the field against Kansas City. He now plans to tough it out for what will be at least a fourth straight week playing through a stress fracture, though it's possible J.D. McKissic gets more work if Gibson runs into trouble again. Fantasy managers should check back in before Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff, as it's possible the team views Gibson as a game-time decision, even if the player himself isn't worried about his status.

Williams (hamstring) is doubtful for Sunday's game against the Dolphins, D. Orlando Ledbetter of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Williams was also listed as doubtful for Atlanta's Week 5 game against the Jets and went on to sit that one out. Despite having an extra week to recover during Atlanta's Week 6 bye, the rookie defensive back and kick returner will most likely miss a second consecutive game barring an unexpected improvement in his hamstring's health.

Gibson (shin) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Green Bay, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.

Gibson aggravated the stress fracture in his shin during last week's loss to the Chiefs, though game script may have been the larger factor in his season-low 40 percent snap share. His missed practice Wednesday was another potential sign of trouble, but Gibson then bounced back with limited participation Thursday and Friday, seemingly preparing to play through the injury again. Fantasy managers should nonetheless consider him questionable ahead of Washington's 1 p.m. ET kickoff in Green Bay this Sunday, with J.D. McKissic and Jaret Patterson being the team's backfield alternatives.
