Harrison (knee) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Panthers, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

Harrison was unable to practice Friday, and the third-year pro will be sidelined for the third time in four games due to a knee injury. His absence opens the door for LaCale London or Brandon Dorlus to move up into a starting role at defensive end opposite David Onyemata. Harrison's next opportunity to play is Week 12 against the Saints on Sunday, Nov. 23.

Van Ness (foot) is inactive for Sunday's contest against the Giants, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.

Van Ness was able to log a limited practice both Thursday and Friday, but that won't be enough for him to return to action just yet. Instead, the third-year defensive end will sit out a fifth straight game. Kingsley Enagbare should continue to work in a key rotational role with Van Ness sidelined again.

Franks (foot) is active for Sunday's game against the Panthers, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

Franks appeared to sustain a foot injury during Week 11 prep, but he has been cleared to play in Sunday's NFC South tilt after going through pregame warmups. He has mostly contributed on special teams this season and will serve as the Falcons' No. 4 tight end behind Kyle Pitts, Charlie Woerner and Teagan Quitoriano.

Johnson (hamstring) is active for Sunday's game against the Titans.

Johnson is active and ready to suit up for his first game since Week 3 against the Jaguars, where he suffered a hamstring injury that placed him on injured reserve. The starting fullback's presence should improve the Texans' special teams unit as well as provide an extra blocker out of the backfield for a rushing attack comprising Nick Chubb and Woody Marks. The addition should be especially potent against the divisional rival Titans, who rank 24th in rush yards allowed with 1,272 on the season.

McCarthy was seen warming up before Sunday's game with a wrap on his right throwing hand, according to Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune. However, it's the same bandage he had on his hand throughout the week of practice, Emily Leiker of The Minnesota Star Tribune reports.

McCarthy opened Week 11 prep Wednesday as limited due to a right hand injury, but he was not on the injury report thereafter and doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against Chicago. McCarthy suffered the right hand injury after hitting it on the helmet of a Ravens defender while following through on a pass attempt in Week 10. While McCarthy does not have an injury designation for Sunday's game, the use of a wrap on his hand in pre-game warmups shows it could be of some concern.

Agnew (foot) is active for Sunday's game against the Panthers, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

Agnew ended Week 11 prep with back-to-back limited practices, and he has progressed enough in his recovery from a foot injury to play in Sunday's NFC South tilt. He has primarily served as a returner on special teams and has not recorded a target in seven regular-season games.

Williams (foot) is active for Sunday's Week 11 game against the Giants, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.

Williams was limited in practice throughout the week due to a lingering foot injury. The rookie wideout will play through the issue for a second straight contest, though his already limited role on offense could be further reduced with fellow wideout Matthew Golden (shoulder) returning from a one-week absence.

Mariota returned to Sunday's game against the Dolphins in Madrid in the fourth quarter after clearing an evaluation for a concussion.

Mariota was forced out of the game with 3:41 left in the third quarter after taking a hard fall to the turf on an incomplete pass. Backup Josh Johnson stepped in to play one snap before Washington punted the ball away, but after passing all concussion testing, Mariota was cleared to re-enter the game on the Commanders' first possession of the fourth quarter.

Stover (foot) is active for Sunday's game against the Titans.

Stover was activated from injured reserve Saturday and is officially ready to suit up for Sunday's contest as the No. 2 TE behind Dalton Schultz. In Stover's only regular-season game in the 2025 campaign, he logged 36 offensive snaps where he caught all four of his targets for 22 yards. The tight end's return should open up more options for Davis Mills and the Texans' offense.

Ingram (knee) is inactive for Sunday's game against Tennessee.

Ingram drew the questionable tag for Sunday's AFC South tilt after logging back-to-back limited practices to end Week 11 prep, but the third-year pro will end up missing a second consecutive game due to a knee injury. Laken Tomlinson is the top candidate to start at right guard in Ingram's absence.
