  • Calvin Ridley WR | TEN

    Titans' Calvin Ridley: No injury designation for Week 12

    Ridley (illness) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Texans, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

    Ridley missed practice Wednesday due to an illness, but he isn't expected to face any restrictions Sunday after returning to full practice participation Thursday and Friday. He has excelled since the Titans traded away DeAndre Hopkins, with 358 receiving yards and two touchdowns in four subsequent games.

  • Mike Evans WR | TB

    Buccaneers' Mike Evans: Questionable for Week 12

    Evans (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at the Giants, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.

    Evans missed the three contests before the Buccaneers' Week 11 bye due to the right hamstring strain that he aggravated during a Week 7 loss to the Ravens. Coming out of the midseason respite, he sandwiched a pair of limited practices around Thursday's full session, but there remains a question mark about his potential to return this weekend. Coach Todd Bowles told Laine earlier Friday that Evans will play Sunday "as long as he's healthy and fresh," something that'll be confirmed, one way or another, approximately 90 minutes before a 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff.

  • Giants' Bryce Ford-Wheaton: Questionable for Sunday

    Ford-Wheaton (Achilles) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Buccaneers, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

    Ford-Wheaton has missed each of the Giants' last two games due to an Achilles injury; however, he practiced in a limited fashion throughout the week and has a chance to suit up Sunday. The Giants will be without a key special-teamer (143 special-teams snaps) if Ford-Wheaton is forced to miss his third consecutive game in Week 12.

  • Darius Slayton WR | NYG

    Giants' Darius Slayton: Set to return Sunday

    Slayton (concussion) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game versus the Buccaneers, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

    With confirmation that he's cleared the concussion protocol, Slayton is set for his first game action since Week 9. Elsewhere in New York's receiving corps, Malik Nabers showed up on Friday's injury report as a non-participant due to a groin injury and is listed as questionable for Week 12 action. Nabers himself told Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com that he intends to suit up Sunday, but if Nabers is inhibited or even inactive, Slayton would stand to benefit in a passing game that will be led by Tommy DeVito now that Daniel Jones has been waived by the team.

  • Malik Nabers WR | NYG

    Giants' Malik Nabers: Status in question for Sunday

    Nabers (groin) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

    Nabers was absent from the open portion of Friday's practice and eventually went down as a non-participant due to a groin injury, according to Dan Duggan of The Athletic. He also tended to a groin issue back in Week 7 when he was attempting to return from the concussion protocol, but he's suited up in all four games in the meantime, combining for 26 catches (on 42 targets) for 221 yards and no touchdowns. In the locker room Friday, Nabers told Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com that he expects to play this weekend, but his status won't be clarified until approximately 90 minutes before a 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff.

  • Nico Collins WR | HOU

    Texans' Nico Collins: Snap share expected to grow Week 12

    Collins is expected to see increased usage Sunday against the Titans after playing only 47 percent of snaps in Monday's 34-10 win over the Cowboys, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

    Collins was eased back into action Monday in his return from a hamstring injury that had sidelined him since Week 5. He was leading the NFL with 567 receiving yards at the time of his injury and is averaging a robust 103.5 receiving yards per game, even when factoring in his pedestrian 54-yard performance in an abbreviated role against Dallas. Collins will face a Titans defense that's playing without top cornerback L'Jarius Sneed (quadriceps).

  • Keenan Allen WR | CHI

    Bears' Keenan Allen: Optimism for Sunday

    Coach Matt Eberflus said Allen rolled his ankle at Friday's practice, leaving him questionable for Sunday's game against the Vikings, but the Bears are "hopeful" the wide receiver will be able to suit up, Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com reports.

    After Allen got injured, the Bears pulled him halfway through Friday's session. Allen himself told Patrick Finley of the Chicago Sun-Times that his ankle has some stiffness, but he also expects to be able to go this weekend. Ultimately, Allen's availability will be confirmed, one way or another, about 90 minutes before Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff.

  • Keenan Allen WR | CHI

    Bears' Keenan Allen: Questionable due to ankle injury

    Allen (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Vikings.

    Allen popped up on the injury report as a limited participant in practice Friday. The late-week timing of the injury is concerning, but the veteran wide receiver's status likely won't be clarified until close to 90 minutes before Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff. When he's healthy, Allen has been outproduced by DJ Moore and Rome Odunze recently in a Bears passing game that hasn't produced a touchdown since Week 6.

  • Nelson Agholor WR | BAL

    Ravens' Nelson Agholor: Back at practice Friday

    Agholor (illness) returned to practice Friday, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.

    Agholor was under the weather Thursday. Assuming he practices again Saturday, Agholor should be ready for Monday night's game against the Chargers. Agholor has topped 36 yards in a game just once all season, but he does have a pair of touchdown catches over the last four games.

  • CeeDee Lamb WR | DAL

    Cowboys' CeeDee Lamb: Returns to practice, should play

    Lamb (back/foot) returned to practice Friday and is expected to play Sunday at Washington, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

    Lamb was a limited participant Wednesday before sitting out Thursday. It now seems his absence Thursday was a matter of maintenance rather than indicating a setback, but the Cowboys may still give the star wideout a game designation on their final injury report Friday afternoon.
