Kenneth Walker III RB | KC
Seahawks' Kenneth Walker: Expected to play
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.

Samson Ebukam DE | ATL
Colts' Samson Ebukam: Avoids injury designation
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.

Bhayshul Tuten RB | JAC
Jaguars' Bhayshul Tuten: Cleared for Week 12, as is Etienne
Tuten (ankle) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com reports.
Tuten and Travis Etienne (shoulder) avoided Week 12 injury designations after three limited practices apiece. Both running backs were banged up coming out of Jacksonville's Week 11 win over the Chargers, though Etienne managed to finish that game while Tuten exited in the second half. Tuten had a career-high 15 carries for 74 yards and a touchdown against the Chargers, while Etienne posted 19 carries for 73 yards and two touchdowns in that game. Both running backs could play significant roles against the Cardinals.

Brenton Strange TE | JAC
Jaguars' Brenton Strange: Questionable, but still on IR
Strange (hip) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game in Arizona, Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com reports.
Unlike last week, when he was ruled out on the Jaguars' final injury report, Strange has a chance to return to action this weekend, but the team will need to activate him from IR by Saturday afternoon before not including him on its Week 12 list of inactives. Fellow TE Hunter Long (hip/knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's contest, so if Strange is able to suit up, he'll join Quintin Morris and Johnny Mundt as options at the position.

Travis Etienne RB | NO
Jaguars' Travis Etienne: Cleared after limited practices
Etienne (shoulder) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com reports.
Etienne and Bhayshul Tuten (ankle) have both been cleared after logging three limited practice sessions. Etienne has worked ahead of Tuten for most of the season, but they split the backfield workload nearly evenly in Jacksonville's Week 11 win over the Chargers prior to Tuten's exit from the game in the second half. Jacksonville has found success with a run-heavy approach in recent weeks, and the Jaguars are unlikely to deviate from that game plan against a Cardinals team that has allowed five total touchdowns to running backs over the past two weeks.

Hunter Long TE | JAC
Jaguars' Hunter Long: Won't play Sunday
Long (hip/knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game at Arizona, Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com reports.
Long will miss a third consecutive contest due to hip and knee injuries, but he has strung together five straight limited listings going back to last week, signaling that a return to action may be possible as soon as Sunday, Nov. 30 at Tennessee. Meanwhile, fellow TE Brenton Strange (hip) is listed as questionable, but he'll need to be activated from injured reserve by Saturday afternoon in order to have a chance to play Sunday. Quintin Morris and Johnny Mundt currently are the healthy options at the position on the active roster.

Isaiah Likely TE | NYG
Ravens' Isaiah Likely: Has green light to face Gang Green
Likely (calf) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Jets.
Likely increased his practice participation level throughout the week, culminating in a full practice Friday. He has had a disappointing season in a contract year, recording only 12 catches for 118 yards in seven appearances.
-
Brian Thomas Jr. WR | JAC
Jaguars' Brian Thomas: Won't play Sunday
Thomas (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.
Though Thomas was able to practice in a limited fashion this week, he'll still miss his third straight game. In Thomas' continued absence this weekend, Jakobi Meyers, Parker Washington and Tim Patrick are in line to lead Jacksonville's Week 12 WR corps. Thomas' next chance to see game action will be Sunday, Nov. 30 against the Titans.

Savion Williams WR | GB
Packers' Savion Williams: Questionable for Week 12
Williams (foot) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Vikings, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
Among the seven wide receivers listed on the Packers' Week 12 injury report, only Williams and Jayden Reed (foot/shoulder, IR) logged exactly one limited practice. Reed was ruled out Friday, and Williams may be the best bet to be inactive among the rest of the group after following a DNP/LP/DNP practice regimen this week. As for the rest of the receiving corps, Christian Watson (knee), Romeo Doubs (wrist) and Bo Melton (shoulder) don't carry designations, while Matthew Golden (shoulder/wrist) and Dontayvion Wicks (calf) are the other two WRs listed as questionable.

Trey Hendrickson LB | BAL
Bengals' Trey Hendrickson: Ruled out for Sunday
Hendrickson (hip) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Patriots.
Hendrickson has not played since aggravating a hip injury in Week 8 versus the Jets. Sunday will mark the fourth game of the season he'll miss due to injury. The 30-year-old could reportedly require surgery in the offseason, but he plans to delay the procedure to have a chance to return for Cincinnati this season. However, should the team be eliminated from playoff contention, the standout pass rusher's plans could change. Myles Murphy will likely maintain an extended role while Hendrickson remains out.
