Turner (hip) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Seahawks.

Turner logged two limited practices with a fresh hip injury before upgrading to a full participant Friday in time to dodge a designation for Sunday's contest. The linebacker has filled a void caused by the absence of Jonathan Greenard (shoulder) and will likely do so again this week if Greenard cannot suit up Sunday.

Metellus (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Seahawks.

Metellus likely suffered the knee injury during last Sunday's loss to the Packers and was able to log only limited practices throughout the week as he dealt with the issue. A return to the field and the consistent 100 percent snap count that he held for seven consecutive games before injury would be a huge boon for the Vikings' defense as they go against one of the league's top receivers in Jaxon Smith-Njigba. If Metellus is unable to play, Jay Ward would likely start at strong safety for Sunday's contest.

Jackson (neck) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Seahawks.

Jackson has played the last two games after being sidelined with a concussion in Week 10, and it is unclear if the neck issue is severe enough to threaten his ability to suit up against the Seahawks. If a week of limited practices is not enough for the 27-year-old to get the green light, Fabian Moreau or Tavierre Thomas would likely take over at slot cornerback in his absence.

Greenard (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Seahawks.

Greenard logged limited practices throughout the week, making five consecutive limited practices since he left the Week 10 game against the Ravens with a shoulder injury. The consistent stringing together of practices means there is a good chance the weakside linebacker is able to suit up for Sunday's game. If Greenard can't go, Dallas Turner is in line for the same uptick in defensive snaps that he saw in Week 11 and Week 12.

Kmet brought in all three targets for 36 yards and a touchdown in the Bears' 24-15 win over the Eagles on Friday.

Kmet led the Bears in receiving yards on a day when Caleb Williams completed under 50.0 percent of his passes and threw for only 154 yards. The veteran tight end also was on the receiving end of Williams' only scoring toss, recording a 28-yard TD with just over six minutes remaining to extend a 17-9 lead. However, Friday marked just the second multi-reception tally over the last seven games for Kmet, so he remains difficult to trust in a Week 14 road matchup against the Packers on Sunday, Dec. 7.

Holmes (illness) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Chargers.

Holmes was unable to practice Friday with what appears to be a newly acquired illness. The slot cornerback's ability to play Sunday will hinge on his immune system working quickly. If the 27-year-old is unable to suit up, snaps at slot cornerback will likely pass to Darien Porter, with Jamal Adams also having a chance at the role.

Moore brought in two of five targets for 17 yards and rushed once for 10 yards in the Bears' 24-15 win over the Eagles on Friday.

Just five days following a two-touchdown effort against the Steelers, Moore was virtually a non-factor in Friday's upset victory. Moore has topped out at two catches and 18 receiving yards in three of his last four games, making his 5-64-2 line versus Pittsburgh in Week 12 an outlier within that stretch. Caleb Williams' inconsistencies certainly don't help the veteran receiver's cause, but he figures to at least draw plenty of targets in a critical Week 14 road clash against the Packers on Sunday, Dec. 7.

Hill (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Colts.

Hill was injured in Week 11 and will miss his second straight contest for Houston. Mainly a special-teams player, Hill has appeared in 10 games this season, logging 201 snaps in kick coverage and just three snaps on defense.

Carter (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Colts.

Carter was injured in last Thursday night's win over the Bills. He's logged 36 snaps on special teams this season.

Butler (illness) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Chargers.

Butler was unable to practice Thursday due to an illness, but he appears to have fought it off enough to be a limited participant Friday. If the starting defensive tackle cannot suit up for Sunday's game, Thomas Booker and JJ Pegues will likely see an increase in rotational defensive-line snaps.
