Greenard (shoulder) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Commanders.

Greenard will look to string together consecutive starts after missing Week 11 and Week 12 with a shoulder injury. The linebacker was on a snap count last week, logging just 22 percent of Minnesota's defensive snaps. If the shoulder injury is still a lingering issue this trend could continue, meaning Dallas Turner will likely get a healthy snap share similar to Week 13.

Wicks (ankle) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Bears, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

Wicks was a limited participant in all three of Green Bay's practices this week but has the green light to suit up for Sunday's pivotal NFC North matchup. Matthew Golden (wrist) went through the same practice regimen but is listed as questionable. Wicks capitalized on Golden's absence against the Lions on Thanksgiving Day, as the former set season highs with six catches for 94 yards and scored his first two touchdowns of the campaign.

Metellus (shoulder) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Commanders.

Metellus logged limited practices throughout the week, which seems to have been enough to cleanse the safety of an injury designation in time for Sunday's contest. The presence of Metellus is great news for a Vikings defense that will be short on defensive back depth, as Theo Jackson (neck) will not play this week.

Jackson (neck) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Commanders.

Jackson was a limited participant in practice Wednesday and Thursday but ultimately will not be able to suit up for Sunday's contest. The starting slot cornerback will miss his second game of the season, and Fabian Moreau will likely get the start in his absence.

Walker (glute) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game at Atlanta, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.

Walker played through the same injury last week, taking 16 touches for 74 yards on a 55 percent snap share in a blowout win over the Vikings. He'll lead the way for Seattle's rushing attack this Sunday, albeit with Zach Charbonnet having a significant role off the bench.

Washington (hip) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game versus the Colts.

Washington left in the first half of this past Sunday's win at Tennessee with a hip injury that kept him sidelined from the Jaguars' first Week 14 session Wednesday. He followed up that absence with back-to-back capped practices and now has a chance to suit up this weekend. Washington's status will be confirmed about 90 minutes before Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff.

Jacobs (knee) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Bears.

Jacobs upgraded to full practice participation Friday after logging limited sessions the previous two days. He should be busy in another key NFC North matchup, after taking 18 touches for 91 yards in a win over the Lions last week.

Reed (collarbone/foot) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bears.

Reed hasn't progressed to full practice participation but apparently has at least some chance to play for the first time since Week 2. The Packers will need to activate him from injured reserve before Saturday evening if he's going to suit up Sunday in a battle for NFC North supremacy.

Herbert (left hand) practiced in a limited capacity Friday, Kris Rhim of ESPN.com reports.

Herbert missed a handful of plays in this past Sunday's win against the Raiders due to a left hand injury, for which he underwent surgery to stabilize a fracture Monday, according to Rhim. On Wednesday, Herbert told Rhim that "the plan is to prepare as if I'm going to play and see how the next couple of days goes." Herbert progressed enough by Friday to take snaps under center, per Daniel Popper of The Athletic, which generally is a good sign that he's trending in a positive direction. Saturday's injury report ultimately will reveal if he has a designation for Monday's contest against the Eagles.

Sanker (head) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Buccaneers, Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football reports.

The rookie safety from Virginia didn't practice Thursday due to a head injury, but following Friday's full session, he'll suit up Sunday. Sanker has appeared in all 12 of the Saints' games this season, recording 60 total tackles and four passes defensed, including one interception. Now fully healthy, he's expected to operate as New Orleans' top free safety in Week 14.
