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.

DeVito (coach's decision) is inactive but will serve as the Patriots' emergency third quarterback against the Bengals on Sunday.

DeVito is the reserve quarterback behind Drake Maye and Joshua Dobbs, and is restricted from playing Sunday unless both are removed from the game due to injury, illness or ejection. DeVito has yet to appear in a single regular-season game in 2025.

Landry (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Bengals.

Landry drew the questionable tag for Week 12 due to a knee injury. He was able to log back-to-back full practices to end the week and has been cleared to play Sunday after going through pregame warmups. The veteran edge rusher has accumulated 37 tackles (19 solo), including 5.5 sacks, and one forced fumble across 11 regular-season games.

Mitchell (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's matchup with the Colts, Matt McMullen of the Chiefs' official site reports.

The running back made his season debut last Sunday against the Broncos but only played on seven of 70 offensive snaps. Mitchell is a healthy scratch even with Isiah Pacheco still out due to a knee issue. Kareem Hunt and Brashard Smith got most of Kansas City's offensive snaps at the running back spot a week ago.

TeSlaa (oblique) is listed as active Sunday against the Giants.

TeSlaa will play through an oblique injury for a second consecutive contest, but he was limited on all three Week 12 practice reports, so it remains to be seen what kind of workload he'll be able to handle. Having said that, his snap shares have ranged from four to 46 percent through 10 appearances as a pro, and he's been targeted more than once in just one game. As a result, TeSlaa is unlikely to make much of an impact in the Lions' receiving corps.

Walker (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Steelers, Kevin Fishbain of The Athletic reports.

Walker missed the last two games with a concussion, and despite being cleared of an injury designation the depth wide receiver will not suit up Sunday. The 23-year-old is predominantly a special teams player, so his absence may just be the team trying new options or taking it slow with a depth contributor back from injury.

Highsmith (pectoral) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Bears, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.

Highsmith drew the doubtful tag for Sunday's game due to a pectoral injury and, as expected, he will miss a second consecutive game. He was able to end the week with back-to-back limited practices, so he should have a better chance at being available for the Steelers' Week 13 clash against the Bills on Sunday, Nov. 30. Nick Herbig and rookie fourth-rounder Jack Sawyer will see more work at edge rusher opposite T.J. Watt in Highsmith's absence.

Wilson is slated to lead the Packers backfield Sunday versus the Vikings with Josh Jacobs (knee) inactive, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.

The decision on Jacobs came down to a pregame warmup, which he didn't pass. Wilson thus will be the top running back for Green Bay in Week 12. In the three contests in which he earned double-digit touches this season, he averaged 12.3 touches for 72.3 yards from scrimmage per game while scoring one rushing TD. Chris Brooks and practice-squad elevation Pierre Strong are on hand for the snaps that don't go to Wilson.
