Parker Washington WR | JAC
Jaguars' Parker Washington: Questionable for Week 14
Washington (hip) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game versus the Colts.
Washington left in the first half of this past Sunday's win at Tennessee with a hip injury that kept him sidelined from the Jaguars' first Week 14 session Wednesday. He followed up that absence with back-to-back capped practices and now has a chance to suit up this weekend. Washington's status will be confirmed about 90 minutes before Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff.

Josh Jacobs RB | GB
Packers' Josh Jacobs: Good to go
Jacobs (knee) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Bears.
Jacobs upgraded to full practice participation Friday after logging limited sessions the previous two days. He should be busy in another key NFC North matchup, after taking 18 touches for 91 yards in a win over the Lions last week.

Jayden Reed WR | GB
Packers' Jayden Reed: Questionable for Sunday
Reed (collarbone/foot) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bears.
Reed hasn't progressed to full practice participation but apparently has at least some chance to play for the first time since Week 2. The Packers will need to activate him from injured reserve before Saturday evening if he's going to suit up Sunday in a battle for NFC North supremacy.

Justin Herbert QB | LAC
Chargers' Justin Herbert: Another limited session
Herbert (left hand) practiced in a limited capacity Friday, Kris Rhim of ESPN.com reports.
Herbert missed a handful of plays in this past Sunday's win against the Raiders due to a left hand injury, for which he underwent surgery to stabilize a fracture Monday, according to Rhim. On Wednesday, Herbert told Rhim that "the plan is to prepare as if I'm going to play and see how the next couple of days goes." Herbert progressed enough by Friday to take snaps under center, per Daniel Popper of The Athletic, which generally is a good sign that he's trending in a positive direction. Saturday's injury report ultimately will reveal if he has a designation for Monday's contest against the Eagles.

Saints' Jonas Sanker: Ready for Sunday
Sanker (head) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Buccaneers, Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football reports.
The rookie safety from Virginia didn't practice Thursday due to a head injury, but following Friday's full session, he'll suit up Sunday. Sanker has appeared in all 12 of the Saints' games this season, recording 60 total tackles and four passes defensed, including one interception. Now fully healthy, he's expected to operate as New Orleans' top free safety in Week 14.

Tyrique Stevenson CB | CHI
Bears' Tyrique Stevenson: Missing Week 14
Stevenson (hip) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Packers.
The third-year pro from Indiana sustained a hip injury in the Week 12 win over the Steelers, and he's now in line to miss his second consecutive contest. While Stevenson is sidelined in Week 14, Nahshon Wright will likely have an expanded role in Chicago's secondary.

Woody Marks RB | HOU
Texans' Woody Marks: Set to play Sunday
Marks (ankle) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game at Kansas City.
After Marks began the week with no activity due to an ankle injury Wednesday, coach DeMeco Ryans told Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle that the rookie fourth-round pick was among a select few DNPs that was expected to be OK for Week 14 action. Marks then progressed to a limited session Thursday and all activity Friday, thereby clearing him to play Sunday. Since the Texans' Week 6 bye, Marks has turned 110 touches into 441 yards from scrimmage and two TDs over the last seven contests, while fellow RB Nick Chubb notched 61 touches for 232 total yards and one TD during that span. As a result, Marks should retain a majority share of the backfield reps among the pair this weekend.

Ruben Hyppolite II LB | CHI
Bears' Ruben Hyppolite: Out for Week 14
Hyppolite (shoulder) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Packers.
The Maryland product is now in line to miss his second consecutive game due to a shoulder injury. Hyppolite has appeared in seven games this season, recording six total tackles across 113 total snaps (83 on special teams, 30 on defense). Carl Jones could have an expanded role on the Bears' defense while Hyppolite is sidelined Sunday.

Bears' T.J. Edwards: Returning in Week 14
Edwards (hand) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Packers.
Edwards missed Chicago's last four games due to a hand injury, but following a full practice session Friday, he'll return for the Week 14 divisional contest. The 29-year-old has appeared in just five games this season, recording 31 total tackles and three passes defensed. Now fully healthy, he's expected to assume Chicago's top middle linebacker duties Sunday.
