Demercado (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Rams, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

After missing the past two games, Demercado returned to practice Wednesday and Thursday as a limited participant. He was then held out Friday and ruled out on the injury report, leaving Bam Knight and Michael Carter in charge of Arizona's backfield for another week. There is still a decent chance for Demercado to contribute later in December, especially after Cardinals head coach Jonathan Gannon said Friday that Trey Benson (knee) may not return this season.

Pierre (concussion) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Ravens, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

Pierre exited the Steelers' 26-7 loss to the Bills early last Sunday with a concussion. The outside cornerback's ability to practice in full Thursday and Friday enabled him to clear the league's concussion protocol. The 29-year-old is set to start Sunday's game alongside Joey Porter.

Lloyd (calf) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bears, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

Lloyd won't be activated from injured reserve prior to Sunday's game. His 21-day window to resume practicing was opened Monday. The 2024 third-round draft pick has yet to suit up in the 2025 regular season.

Williams (ankle) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game at Arizona, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

Williams upgraded to full participation Friday after logging limited practices the previous two days. He suffered the ankle injury during last week's loss to the Panthers, which led to Blake Corum scoring a TD late in the second quarter. Williams returned after halftime and got most of the snaps/touches down the stretch, appearing no worse for the wear.

Porter (elbow) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Ravens, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

Porter was able to upgrade to a full participant Friday, just a day after sustaining an elbow injury. The starting cornerback is set to suit up for Sunday's divisional matchup alongside fellow starter James Pierre, who was also cleared of injury designation. With both outside corners healthy, it remains to be seen how the Steelers plan to use recently acquired Asante Samuel.

Williams (foot) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bears, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

Williams will miss a second consecutive game due to his foot injury. Prior to getting hurt, the rookie third-round pick didn't exceed 33 receiving yards in any of his 11 appearances. Williams' next opportunity to take the field will come Sunday, Dec. 14 at Denver.

Adams (hamstring) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game at Arizona, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

Adams never seemed in serious danger of missing the game and should be ready for his usual workload after logging a full practice Friday. He's seen at least five targets and 35 snaps in every appearance this season, scoring 14 TDs in 12 games along the way.

Golden (wrist) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bears, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

Golden has a chance to return following a two-game absence. He was a limited participant in all three of Green Bay's practices during Week 14 prep. If the rookie first-round pick suits up, it remains to be seen how much playing time he will see in a Packers receiving corps that will have Christian Watson, Romeo Doubs and Dontayvion Wicks available, as well as possibly Jayden Reed (foot/shoulder, IR).

Queen (glute) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Ravens, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

Queen managed to log consecutive limited practices Thursday and Friday and performed sufficiently enough to clear his injury designation ahead of Sunday's game. The starting inside linebacker will be ready to suit up against his former team, the Ravens, in a key AFC North battle.

Skowronek (shoulder) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Ravens, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

Skowronek upgraded to full practice participation Friday, just in time to dodge an injury designation ahead of Sunday's divisional tilt. The depth wide receiver has three receptions on five targets for 56 yards and a touchdown this season and has not missed a game.
