Gipson (shoulder) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Cowboys.

Gipson sustained the injury late in the fourth quarter, when he fumbled the ball on a punt return. Will Shipley and Jahan Dotson would be in line for return duties on kickoffs and punts if Gipson is not cleared to return.

Walker rushed the ball 11 times for 71 yards in Sunday's 30-24 win over the Titans. He added three receptions on four targets for 30 yards.

Walker suffered a glute injury late in the week and entered Sunday with a questionable tag, though he still comfortably led Seattle's backfield with 14 touches as compared to six for Zach Charbonnet. As has often been the case, Walker was the more efficient back, with four of his 11 carries going for more than 10 yards. He also remained more involved as a pass catcher, logging three catches for the second consecutive game and for the third time this season. The only downside to Walker's performance came around the goal line, as he was stuffed from the two-yard line and then ceded an opportunity from the five to Charbonnet later in the game. Overall, it was still a positive performance for Walker as he topped 100 yards from scrimmage for the second consecutive contest.

Pierce is expected to be signed to the Chiefs' practice squad, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Pierce was waived by the Texans on Thursday, and he now appears to have found a new home in Kansas City. The running back has turned 10 carries into 26 yards over four games with Houston this year, and he'll look to impress with the Chiefs. The transaction won't become official until Monday, at the earliest.

Hunter (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday night's game against Tampa Bay.

Hunter has logged just 22 special-teams snaps across five rookie-season appearances. He's firmly behind Kyren Williams, Blake Corum and Ronnie Rivers on the backfield depth chart.

Bennett (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday night's game against the Bucs but will serve as the emergency third quarterback.

Bennett will only see the field if both Matthew Stafford and Jimmy Garoppolo suffer injuries. Bennett has yet to appear in a regular-season NFL contest through three seasons.

Smith (concussion) is inactive for Sunday night's game versus Tampa Bay.

Smith was concussed last Sunday against the Seahawks and will miss this one against the Bucs, allowing Jordan Whittington and Konata Mumpfield opportunities to play more snaps behind Puka Nacua and Davante Adams. Across 10 games this season, Smith has a 7-85-0 receiving line on 10 targets.

Karty (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday night's game against the Bucs.

Karty maintains a spot on the 53-man roster for Los Angeles, but he hasn't kicked since Week 9, as the Rams have moved along with Harrison Mevis at kicker. Karty has made just 10 of 15 field-goal tries and 23 of 26 extra-point attempts across eight games this season.

Quessenberry (groin) is inactive for Sunday night's game against the Buccaneers, Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site reports.

Quessenberry was a late addition to the Rams' injury report due to a groin injury, which is severe enough for him to be sidelined for Sunday's contest. The Rams will have one less depth option on the offensive line for Week 12.

Blankenship is questionable to return to Sunday's clash against the Cowboys due to a thigh injury.

Blankenship was hurt while making a tackle late in the third period. Per Jimmy Kempski of PhillyVoice.com, the safety was limping badly upon departing the field. Blankenship was in the midst of a big performance prior to getting hurt, totaling eight tackles and an interception. Sydney Brown has entered the game in Blankenship's stead.

Morrison (hamstring) is inactive for Sunday's night game against the Rams, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

Morrison was unable to practice Friday due to a setback with his hamstring injury, and it seems the setback was too great for the rookie second-rounder to suit up for primetime action. With starting outside cornerback Jamel Dean (hip) also ruled out, Kindle Vildor is in line to get the start.
