Samuel (elbow/neck) is improving in his recovery, head coach Sean McDermott said Friday, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports.

Samuel sat out Thursday's loss to the Texans but he could be back for Buffalo's next game, Nov. 30 at Pittsburgh. Keon Coleman has been held out of the Bills' last two games as a coach's decision, so more targets could be available for Samuel if he's healthy enough to rejoin a Bills receiving corps that's searching for consistent production behind Khalil Shakir.

Kincaid (hamstring) is improving in his recovery, head coach Sean McDermott said Friday, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports.

Kincaid hasn't practiced or played since hurting his hamstring in Buffalo's Week 10 loss to the Dolphins. After Thursday's loss to the Texans, the Bills don't play again until Nov. 30 at Pittsburgh. If Kincaid resumes practicing prior to that game, that could put him on track to return against the Steelers.

Egbuka (illness) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Rams.

He returned to full practice participation Friday after being limited the previous two days. Egbuka thus is set to lead Tampa Bay's receiving corps, looking to end his cold streak in a road matchup with one of the NFL's better defenses. A potential return for Chris Godwin (questionable - fibula) would add competition for targets, but it would also give the Rams defense another pass catcher to worry about, in theory.

Bullard (ankle) doesn't carry an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Vikings, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.comreports.

Bullard was deemed a limited participant in practice this week; however, his listed limitations were likely precautionary, as the 23-year-old is in line to be available for Sunday's game against Minnesota. Bullard has 53 total tackles in 10 games this season for the Packers.

Godwin (fibula) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Rams after logging a limited practice Friday, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

Earlier Friday, Bucs coach Todd Bowles said Godwin is on track to play Sunday night. The veteran wideout upgraded to full practice participation Thursday, before dropping back to 'limited' Friday to close out the week. It sounds like that was just maintenance, not indicative of any setback, but fantasy managers should still keep an eye on the situation ahead of an 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff this Sunday

Nwangwu (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Ravens.

Nwangwu didn't practice Thursday but returned to limited participation Friday. If the Jets' usual kickoff returner isn't available Sunday, those duties would likely go to Isaiah Williams.

Warren (ankle) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Bears, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.

Warren steadily raised his practice participation throughout the week, as he upgraded to full participation Friday after being limited Thursday and being a non-participant Wednesday. He's expected to lead Pittsburgh's backfield as usual against the Bears, though Kenneth Gainwell is pushing for a larger role after scoring two receiving touchdowns in Pittsburgh's Week 11 win over the Bengals, which Warren exited early due to his ankle injury.

Jackson (ankle) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game versus the Jets, Ryan Mink of the Ravens' official site reports.

Jackson hasn't been a stranger to the injury report this season, and this week was no different when he didn't practice Wednesday due to an ankle issue. After ending it with back-to-back full sessions, though, he's in the clear for Week 12 action. He'll be working without WR Rashod Bateman (ankle) on Sunday, but Jackson will be facing a Jets defense that has allowed the ninth-most TD passes (18) to opposing QBs in 10 contests.

Seahawks coach Mike Macdonald said Friday that Walker (glute) is expected to play Sunday at Tennessee despite being added to the injury report and listed as questionable, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.

An end-of-week addition to the injury report isn't what Walker's fantasy managers want to see, especially ahead of a favorable matchup with arguably the worst team in the NFL. Macdonald downplayed any concerns after Friday's practice, saying Walker's limited practice workload Friday was more about maintenance than anything that might impact the running back's Week 12 availability, per Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune. Still, fantasy mangers will want to make sure Walker isn't on the inactive list 90 minutes before a 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff this Sunday.

Ebukam (knee) was a full participant in practice Friday.

Ebukam has no injury designation and appears to be ready to play for the first time since Week 7 versus the Chargers. The 30-year-old should be ready to assist starters Laiatu Latu and Kwity Paye to bolster the defensive line. Ebukam has 14 tackles, including 2.0 sacks, on the season.
