Walker (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Colts, Demetrius Harvey of The Florida Times-Union reports.

Walker ended the week with back-to-back limited practices and has a chance to return Sunday from a two-game absence due to a knee injury. Walker's return would mean less defensive snaps available for Danny Striggow and Dawuane Smoot for Week 14.

Kinchens (shoulder) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

Kinchens upgraded to a full participant in Friday's practice after being limited for the earlier portion of the week. The free safety has avoided an injury designation and will continue his streak of participating in every Rams game this year.

Murray (neck) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Colts, Demetrius Harvey of The Florida Times-Union reports.

Murray was a full participant in practice during Week 14 , which has given the veteran safety a chance to be activated from injured reserve and return from a five-game absence due to a neck injury. If activated from injured reserve, Murray could be moved back into a starting spot at safety, especially with Andrew Wingard (concussion) ruled out.

Head Coach Mike Macdonald declared that Love (hamstring) is set to return from injured reserve for Sunday's game against the Falcons, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.

Love managed to practice in some capacity all three days this week in anticipation of Sunday's contest. The safety picked up the hamstring injury after the Seahawks' Week 2 victory over the Steelers and battled the issue for over a month before finally being assigned to injured reserve Nov. 1. It is unclear how the seventh-year veteran will be utilized in his return to the lineup. Love may reclaim his starting free safety role from Ty Okada, may just share snaps due to a snap count, or may start or share snaps at another position, such as slot cornerback.

Armstead (hand) is questionable to play against the Colts on Sunday, Demetrius Harvey of The Florida Times-Union reports.

Armstead was unable to play against the Titans in Week 13 due to a hand injury. The injury limited Armstead's practice participation all week, and his status for Sunday's game may not be officially known until approximately 90 minutes before the 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff, when the Jaguars announce their list of inactive players. Maason Smith would likely start alongside DaVon Hamilton at defensive tackle if Armstead is not cleared to play.

Head Coach Mike Macdonald declared that Reed (wrist/thumb) is set to return from injured reserve for Sunday's game against the Falcons, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.

Reed was a full participant in practice all week as he works his way back from the thumb issue that sent him to injured reserve. Head Coach Mike Macdonald's proclamation means the defensive end will likely see his first snaps since he suffered the injury in the Seahawks' Week 9 win over the Commanders, assuming he's activated from IR.

Wingard (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Colts, Demetrius Harvey of The Florida Times-Union reports.

Wingard was unable to practice during Week 14 prep while in the league's concussion protocol, and the veteran safety will end up missing his first game of the regular season as a result. Rookie sixth-rounder Rayuan Lane is the top candidate to start at safety alongside Antonio Johnson in Wingard's absence.

Johnson (ankle) does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against Miami.

Johnson opened the week as a DNP due to an ankle injury, but he was able to shed an injury tag for Week 14 after logging a full practice Friday. The fourth-year defensive end has accumulated 15 tackles (six solo), including 2.0 sacks, in four games since the Jets' Week 9 bye.

Adams (groin) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Dolphins.

Adams opened the week with back-to-back DNPs due to a groin injury he sustained during the Jets' Week 13 win over the Falcons. He was able to practice in full Friday to earn the questionable tag for Week 14, and his status may not be officially known until the Jets announce their list of inactive players approximately 90 minutes before Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff. Isaiah Oliver would be in line to start at safety alongside Malachi Moore if Adams is not cleared to play.

Wagner (knee) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Vikings, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.

Wagner was able to log a limited practice session Friday after being a non-participant earlier in the week. The upgrade in participation is a good sign for the veteran's chances of suiting up for Sunday's game. If the middle linebacker is unable to go, 24-year-old Jordan Magee is set to have a larger role in the linebacker corps Sunday.
