Shepherd (shoulder) is questionable for Sunday's game versus the Colts, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

Shepherd practiced without limitations the last two days, but the Packers apparently want to evaluate his shoulder over the weekend before making a final decision on his status. Even if he's given a clean bill of health, however, Shepherd could end up as a healthy scratch if both Allen Lazard (core) and Equanimeous St. Brown (knee) play.

St. Brown (knee) is questionable for Sunday's game versus the Colts, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

St. Brown is trending in the right direction after logging two straight limited practice sessions to close out the week. After logging a season-high 31 snaps last week against the Jaguars, St. Brown could revert to a reserve role if Allen Lazard (core) plays. Lazard is listed as questionable.

Lazard (abdomen) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Colts, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

Working his way back from core muscle surgery, Lazard was a limited participant in every practice this week. He hasn't played since Week 3, so he could be eased back in with a limited role once he's ready to play. A final decision may not come until Sunday when the Packers release their inactive list approximately 90 minutes before the 4:25 ET kickoff.

Adams (ankle) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game in Indianapolis, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Adams was a limited participant Wednesday and a non-participant Thursday, but it's now clear the downgrade was inspired by caution rather than any type of setback. He should be ready for his usual role this weekend, facing a Colts defense that's allowed fewer touchdowns to wide receivers (eight) than Adams has scored on his own (nine).

Brown (knee) practiced Friday.

Brown, who missed practice Thursday, continues to manage a knee issue, but we'd expect him to approach Sunday's game against the Ravens minus an injury designation. Look for that outcome to be confirmed later Friday, once the Titans' final Week 11 injury report is released.

Humphries (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Ravens.

On the plus side, coach Mike Vrabel noted that Humphries is making progress in the concussion protocol and has been attending meetings. Humphries will thus target a possible return to action in Week 12, which sets the stage for Cameron Batson and Kalif Raymond to continue to see added opportunities behind A.J. Brown and Corey Davis this weekend.

Higgins (illness) practiced fully Friday and doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game against Washington, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

Higgins sat out Thursday's session after falling ill, but his ability to take every rep in practice a day later erases any concern about his status heading into the weekend. With no fewer than 60 receiving yards or four receptions in each of his last six outings, Higgins has surpassed A.J. Green as a more valuable fantasy option in the Bengals' passing game.

Coach Matt LaFleur said Adams (ankle) "should be good to go" for Sunday's game in Indianapolis, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

Adams was a limited practice participant Wednesday and a non-participant Thursday. It's still possible the Packers list him as questionable on their final injury report, but he should be ready to play come Sunday.

Ridley (foot) has been cleared from the injury report and will play in Sunday's game against the Saints, Jason Butt of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Despite having his practice reps limited this week, Ridley avoided a designation on the final injury report. He should be ready for his usual role coming out of a bye week, hoping to pick up where he left off before he sprained his foot. Ridley is averaging 5.4 catches for 82.1 yards on 8.4 targets per game, with six touchdowns in eight appearances. It'll be a rarity for the Falcons to enter Sunday without any of Ridley, Julio Jones or Russell Gage listed as questionable/doubtful/out.

Johnson (hamstring) is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Steelers, John Oehser of the Jaguars' official site reports.

Johnson has played less than 15 percent of offensive snaps in back-to-back games, even with Laviska Shenault (hamstring) having missed both those contests. As such, even if Johnson manages to suit up versus Pittsburgh, it's unlikely that he'll handle a significant role on offense.
