Seals-Jones (hip) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Raiders, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.

Even if he plays, Seals-Jones is expected to serve as the top backup to tight end Logan Thomas, who returned from a hamstring injury last week and played 77 percent of the offensive snaps in a win over the Seahawks. Seals-Jones' hip injury has sidelined him for both of Washington's past two games.

Hill is believed to have torn a tendon in the middle finger of his throwing hand, with the injury potentially requiring surgery at some point, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

It isn't clear if Hill would get surgery soon or try to play through the injury and wait until the offseason. He's reportedly scheduled for more tests after playing through the injury in the majority of Thursday's 27-17 loss to the Cowboys. The initial belief is that he may have "mallet finger," similar to the injury Seahawks QB Russell Wilson dealt with earlier this year.

Thomas (hamstring) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game in Las Vegas, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.

The lack of designation comes as no surprise after Thomas took on six targets and a 77-percent offensive snap share in Monday's win over the Seahawks, his first action following a six-game stint on injured reserve. He's the likely No. 2 option for quarterback Taylor Heinicke behind wideout Terry McLaurin, especially with passing-down back J.D. McKissic (concussion) out this week.

Schultz caught all five of his targets for 43 yards in Thursday's 27-17 win over the Saints.

The tight end continues to deliver solid, if unspectacular, numbers. Schultz hasn't reached 60 receiving yards since Week 6, but he's seen at least five targets in five of the last six games and posted a 21-221-1 line over that stretch on the steady volume. He'll look to make an impact in Week 14 against Washington.

Hill completed 19 of 41 passes for 264 yards with two touchdowns and four interceptions in the Saints' 27-17 loss to the Cowboys on Thursday night. He also rushed 11 times for 101 yards and played with a splint on his finger after hitting it on the hand of a pass rusher early in the contest, Katherine Terrell of The Athletic reports.

Hill played serviceably as a passer for significant swaths of the contest, and his work on the ground was outstanding, especially in the absence of Alvin Kamara (knee). However, the BYU product, both rusty after not having drawn a start under center all season and hampered after hurting the middle finger on his throwing hand in the first quarter, short-circuited too many drives, particularly in the second half, with his errant throws. Three of the four picks Hill threw came in consecutive possessions during the fourth quarter, with the final one a pick-six with 2:52 remaining that essentially put the game out of reach for New Orleans. Hill did manage to dress up his overall fantasy line one last time with a 70-yard touchdown pass to Deonte Harris with 2:32 remaining, his second scoring toss since Week 14 of last season. Despite the turnover-laden performance, Hill figures to be back under center for a more favorable Week 14 visit to the Jets a week from Sunday.

Johnson (neck) has returned to Thursday's game against the Cowboys, John Hendrix of SI.com reports.

Johnson was absent for several drives due to a neck injury, but he returned to the field with just over five minutes remaining in the first half. He hauled in his lone target for 27 yards early in the contest.

Johnson is questionable to return to Thursday's game against the Cowboys due to a neck injury, John Hendrix of SI.com reports.

Johnson went down awkwardly following a big gain in the first quarter of Thursday's matchup and headed to the locker room after spending several minutes in the medical tent. Garrett Griffin should see a slight uptick in playing time if Johnson is unable to return.

Kmet (groin) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday.

Kmet was among a handful of Bears skill-position players to sit out Wednesday, but he was the only one of them to fit in some activity one day later. He seems to be trending in the right direction, but Friday's injury report will be key to determining whether he may be available Sunday against the Cardinals.

Freiermuth (concussion) practiced fully Thursday.

Back-to-back full sessions have Freiermuth trending toward suiting up Sunday against the Ravens. Friday's final injury report will reveal whether he has fully cleared concussion protocol and if so, the Steelers' top tight end will head into the weekend minus a Week 13 injury designation.

Waller (knee) remained a spectator for Thursday's practice, Tashan Reed of The Athletic reports.

Now that he's missed the Raiders' first two Week 13 practices in addition to having interim head coach Rich Bisaccia label him as "week-to-week," Waller is trending toward missing his second game of the season Sunday against Washington. Assuming Waller continues to sit out practice Friday, he'll likely be officially ruled out in advance of the weekend, paving the way for Foster Moreau to fill in for him as the Raiders' starting tight end. When Waller was sidelined with an ankle injury in a Week 7 game against the Eagles, Moreau played 100 percent of the offensive snaps and reeled in six passes for 60 yards and a touchdown.
