Harris has a stinger and is questionable to return to Sunday's matchup against the Falcons, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.

The 2019 special-teams All-Pro was labeled questionable to return midway through the third quarter. He's garnered just 29 combined offensive snaps the past two games with Michael Thomas' return to the lineup from ankle and hamstring injuries. Explosiveness in the return game will be depleted if Harris is unable to return to the divisional tilt.

Shepherd (shoulder) is active for Sunday's game against the Colts.

Shepherd was a full practice participant the last two days of the week, so it's not much of a surprise he's suiting up Sunday. The 25-year-old should fill a depth role with the receiving corps back to full strength.

St. Brown (knee) is active for Sunday's game at Indianapolis.

The 24-year-old continues to manage the knee injury by limiting his practice reps, but it has yet to impact his gameday availability since his return from injured reserve. St. Brown played a season-high 48 percent of offensive snaps last week, though the return of Allen Lazard (core) figures to cut into his playing time.

Lazard (core) is active for Sunday's game at Indianapolis.

Making his long-awaited return to action, Lazard will log his first snaps since undergoing core-muscle surgery Oct. 1. His workload will be of interest, especially after Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported that Lazard will be on a "pitch count." Prior to his six-game absence, Lazard played at least 84 percent of the offensive snaps Weeks 1 through 3 en route to 13 catches (on 17 targets) for 254 yards and two touchdowns.

Cobb (foot) won't return to Sunday's game against the Patriots.

With Kenny Stills (leg) also injured Sunday, Keke Coutee is in line for added looks in the Texans' Week 11 passing game alongside Brandin Cooks and Will Fuller.

Bowden (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's Week 11 game against the Broncos.

The rookie will remain out of game action, with Matt Breida's return from a hamstring injury further lowering his chances of garnering active status. Bowden's next chance to see game action will come in a Week 12 matchup against the division-rival Jets.

Cobb suffered a foot injury during Sunday's game against the Patriots.

Cobb was targeted twice before his departure, with the final one a three-yard touchdown catch in the first quarter. That said, he came up hobbling at the end of the play and now is deemed questionable to return. If Cobb is unable to come back Sunday, Kenny Stills and perhaps even Keke Coutee will be in line for additional work.

Sims is expected to remain in the starting lineup Sunday against the Bengals with Dontrelle Inman (hamstring) inactive for the contest.

Sims will likely serve as an outside receiver at the spot opposite Terry McLaurin, leaving Steven Sims and Isaiah Wright to share work out of the slot. Cam Sims has been a surprising source of big plays while Inman has been sidelined for the previous two games, hauling in seven of nine targets for 164 yards in those contests.

Ford (coach's decision) is inactive for Week 11, Erik Scalavino of the Patriots' official site reports.

Ford was eligible to play Week 10 against the Ravens on Sunday Night Football, but he ultimately did not log a single offensive or special-teams snap during the 23-17 win. New England decided to bring six receivers onto its active roster for a Week 11 road trip to Houston, but the 24-year-old finds himself on the outside looking in.

Foster is active Sunday against the Bengals for the first time this season, Kyle Stackpole of Washington's official site reports.

The 26-year-old was signed by Washington off Green Bay's practice squad a month ago, but Sunday's contest will be his first time suiting up in 2020. Foster should operate as a depth wideout for the Football Team.
