Nwangwu (hamstring) is active for Sunday's game against Baltimore.

Nwangwu was limited in the last two practices of Week 12 prep due to a hamstring injury, but he has been given the green light to play Sunday after going through pregame warmups. Nwangwu will mostly contribute on special teams as a returner on kickoffs, but he will also will serve as the Jets' No. 3 RB behind Breece Hall and Isaiah Davis due to Khalil Herbert (coach's decision) being inactive.

Baker (knee/illness) is active for Sunday's game against the Seahawks.

Baker was bombarded with back luck this week, sustaining both a knee injury and illness that threatened to take his playing eligibility for Sunday. Evidently the starting cornerback was able to persevere, and he will look to continue the trend of playing 100 percent of snaps for the Titans' defense for a third consecutive week.

Rush (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Jets.

This will be the fourth week in a row that Rush has served in the emergency role, which means he can't enter the game unless Lamar Jackson and Tyler Huntley exit due to injury, illness or ejection. Rush started two games earlier in the season with Jackson out due to injury, but he only led the offense to 13 points across both contests, leading to Huntley making the start in the last game that Jackson missed.

Johnson (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Ravens.

Johnson didn't receive a target the past two games and will now be a healthy scratch for Sunday's matchup in Baltimore. Arian Smith and Allen Lazard are poised to operate as the Jets' depth wideouts behind Adonai Mitchell, John Metchie and Isaiah Williams.

McManus is active for Sunday's contest versus the Vikings, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.

McManus completed a full week of practice during Week 12 prep for the first time since before Green Bay's Week 5 bye. A right quadriceps injury sidelined him Weeks 6, 7 and 11, but his ability to handle every rep Wednesday through Friday indicates he likely is good to go moving forward. In seven games this season, McManus has struck true on just 11 of 17 field-goal attempts and 16 of 17 point-after tries.

Mullings (ankle) is active for Sunday's game against the Seahawks.

Mullings was activated off injured reserve Saturday in anticipation for Sunday's contest, his first game since Week 3 against the Colts. The rookie sixth-rounder has worked his way back from an ankle injury he sustained in that Week 3 loss and will take his place behind Tony Pollard and Tyjae Spears as the third running back for the Titans' offense.

Milroe (coach's decision) is inactive and will serve as the Seahawks' emergency third quarterback against the Titans on Sunday.

As has been the case for the majority of the regular season, Drew Lock will serve as the Seahawks' backup quarterback behind Sam Darnold. As the emergency QB3, Milroe is not allowed to play Sunday unless both Darnold and Lock leave due to injury, illness or ejection.

Ali (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's matchup with the Jets.

The running back remains behind Derrick Henry, Justice Hill and Keaton Mitchell on the depth chart. Ali has recorded 535 yards on kickoff returns this year, though he appears to be behind Mitchell for that role at the moment.

Jones (knee) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Titans.

A knee injury limited Jones' practice participation over the last two days of Week 12 prep, and he'll end up being sidelined for the second time in three games. With Jones and Tyrice Knight (concussion) both inactive, Chazz Surratt is expected to step into a starting role at inside linebacker alongside Drake Thomas for Sunday's road game. Jones will look to progress enough in his recovery to return for the Seahawks' Week 13 clash against the Vikings on Sunday, Nov. 30.

Ouzts (elbow/personal) is active for Sunday's game against the Titans.

Outzts was a full participant in Friday's practice after missing the first two sessions of the week due to a personal matter and elbow injury. The rookie fifth-rounder has ultimately been cleared to play Sunday, and the converted fullback will continue to give the Seahawks a blocking presence out of the backfield.
