Watts (hand) is out for Sunday's game against the Bills, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

Watts will sit out his second straight contest in Week 11, this time because of a hand injury. His being out could potentially leave more playing time on the edge for 2024 second-rounder Chris Braswell.

Bredeson (hamstring) is out for Sunday's game against the Bills, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

Bredeson will miss his first game of the season in Week 11 due to a hamstring injury he suffered in Week 10 versus the Patriots. In his stead, veteran Dan Feeney could be called on to start at guard Sunday.

Hobbs (knee) is out for Sunday's game against the Giants, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

Hobbs will spend a second straight week on the sideline because of a sprained MCL he suffered in Week 9 versus the Panthers. In his absence, 2023 seventh-rounder Carrington Valentine figures to continue to play a near-every down role at corner opposite Keisean Nixon.

Mathis (shoulder) is out for Sunday's game versus Tampa Bay, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports.

Mathis played a season-high 21 defensive snaps in Week 10 at Miami, but he'll sit out in Week 11 with a shoulder injury. His absence could open up additional reps on the defensive line for veteran Jordan Phillips.

Jackson (toe) is officially listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Commanders, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Jackson practiced for the first time since picking up a nagging toe injury in Week 1 at Indianapolis this week, but it appears more likely than not he'll have to wait at least one more week before returning to game action. Larry Borom would figure to make another start at right tackle in Week 11 in that case.

Surtain (pectoral) is officially listed as out for Sunday's game versus Kansas City.

Surtain will miss a third straight contest with a pectoral strain he suffered in Week 8 versus the Cowboys. Without him, Denver will probably have to lean more heavily on 2024 fifth-rounder Kris Abrams-Draine for corner reps on the boundary in Week 11.

Franklin-Myers (back) does not carry an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game versus Kansas City.

Franklin-Myers popped up on Denver's injury report Thursday with a back issue, but he was able to get back to practicing in full Friday and will suit up in Week 11. He's on pace for a career year as a pass rusher, and he'll be looking to keep up that momentum Sunday.

Ojulari (knee) is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's game versus the 49ers, Zach Gershman of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Ojulari has spent more than a year rehabbing after tearing his ACL back in August of 2024, and now there's a chance he could be activated from Arizona's PUP list for Week 11. He was able to manage only limited participation at practice during the week, however, so the Cardinals may opt to take a more cautious approach in what is looking like it could be a lost season anyways.

Robinson (groin) is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's game versus San Francisco, Zach Gershman of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Robinson was limited at practice throughout the week after hurting his groin in Week 10 at Seattle, and now his availability for Week 11 is up in the air. If he can't suit up Sunday, rookie third-rounder Jordan Burch would project for a more regular role on the edge.

Elliss (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Chiefs.

Elliss sustained a hamstring injury during the Broncos' Week 10 win over the Raiders. He was unable to practice this past week, and the second-year linebacker will be sidelined for Sunday's AFC West tilt. Dondrea Tillman and rookie fourth-rounder Que Robinson will serve as the Broncos' rotational outside linebackers behind Jonathan Cooper and Nik Bonitto in Elliss's absence.
