Lane (hip) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's contest versus the Broncos.

Lane made an early exit from the Commanders' last game Week 11 with a hip injury, but he won't miss any more time after following an LP/LP/FP practice regimen this week. The team is getting back No. 1 WR Terry McLaurin (quadriceps) for the first time since Week 8, and Deebo Samuel also is available, so Lane will be in the mix for snaps and targets behind that duo along with Treylon Burks and Chris Moore.

Johnson (back) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, Bo Brack of GoPHNX.com reports.

Johnson was a limited participant Wednesday and Thursday before upgrading to a full participant Friday. The upgrade means the cornerback is good to go for Sunday, and he will either join or replace Denzel Burke as a starting outside cornerback, depending on the health of Max Melton (heel).

Reddick (ankle) is questionable for Tampa Bay's matchup versus the Cardinals on Sunday, Jenna Laine of ESPN reports.

Reddick has been sidelined for the past four games but has a chance to make his return Sunday. If he manages to play, the 31-year-old should resume his role as one of the team's starting outside linebackers.

Burks (finger) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's contest against the Broncos.

Burks sat out the Commanders' last game Week 11 due to a finger injury that required surgery, but with the benefit of a Week 12 bye, he followed up back-to-back limited practices to open Week 13 prep with a full session Friday, setting him up to suit up this weekend. With top WR Terry McLaurin (quadriceps) back in the lineup and Deebo Samuel also on hand, Burks will be in the mix for snaps and targets behind them along with Jaylin Lane and Chris Moore.

Nubin (neck) was a full participant in Friday's practice, Madelyn Burke of MSG Network reports.

Nubin was limited Thursday, but his full participation Friday suggests Nubin is ready to return after missing the previous two contests. Ahead of Monday night's game with the Patriots, the Giants will release their final injury report Saturday.

Melton (heel) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, Bo Brack of GoPHNX.com reports.

Melton was a limited participant Friday after suffering a setback that rendered him unable to participate in Thursday's session. The cornerback's ability to suit up for Sunday's game will likely hinge on whether he suffers another setback over the weekend. If the 23-year-old cannot suit up, Denzel Burke will once again play outside corner for the Cardinals, this time replacing Melton instead of fellow outside cornerback Will Johnson.

Dean (hip) is questionable for Tampa Bay's matchup versus the Cardinals on Sunday, Jenna Laine of ESPN reports.

Dean was a full participant in Thursday's practice but will still carry an injury designation into Sunday's matchup. The 29-year-old sat out the team's Week 12 loss to the Rams but has a chance to make his return against Arizona.

Banks (hip) was a full participant in Friday's practice, Madelyn Burke of MSG Network reports.

Banks was limited in Thursday's session, and the full practice puts Banks in position to play Monday night against the Patriots. With Paulson Adebo (knee) out since Week 7, Banks has started each of the past four contests, seeing the vast majority of his snaps on the boundary.

Slayton (hamstring) was limited in practice Friday.

Slayton and fellow WR Wan'Dale Robinson (ankle) have been listed as limited on both of the Giants' practice reports so far this week, meaning they'll have just one more chance to prove their respective levels of health before the team potentially gives them designations ahead of Monday's contest in New England. If Robinson is active Week 13, he'll be working with rookie QB Jaxson Dart, who cleared the concussion protocol Friday.

Robinson (ankle) practiced in a limited capacity Friday.

Robinson and fellow WR Darius Slayton (hamstring) have been listed as limited on both of the Giants' practice reports so far this week, giving both of them just one more chance to prove their respective levels of health before the team potentially tags them with designations ahead of Monday's game in New England. If Robinson is active Week 13, he'll be on the receiving end of passes from Jaxson Dart, who cleared the concussion protocol Friday.
