Harvey is set to lead the Broncos backfield Sunday against the Chiefs due to J.K. Dobbins (foot) being ruled out for the contest.

Dobbins emerged from last Thursday's win against the Raiders with a foot injury, and as of Tuesday, a move to injured reserve was considered a possibility for the sixth-year pro, per Chris Tomasson of The Denver Gazette. After Dobbins was ruled out for Week 11 action Friday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported that the running back was in line to be out for an extended period. Harvey has recorded 10 or more touches in a game only once so far in his career (18 in Week 4), but the rookie second-round pick has impressed at times, averaging 4.3 yards on his 43 rushes, gathering in 25 of 29 targets for 175 yards and scoring six TDs in 10 appearances. Tyler Badie and Jaleel McLaughlin are the other RBs on Denver's active roster.

Schwesinger (shoulder) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Ravens, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

The starting middle linebacker logged a week of limited practice sessions, enough to be cleared of the shoulder injury he likely sustained in the Browns' Week 10 loss to the Jets. Schwesinger logged a team-high nine tackles, including a half-sack, while playing 100 percent of the team's defensive snaps in the loss. Schwesinger is the wearer of the defensive green dot, so the Browns will need the rookie's prowess and communication for a tough AFC North showdown with the Ravens on Sunday.

Van Ginkel (neck) does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Bears, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

Van Ginkel had his practice reps limited Wednesday and Thursday due to a lingering neck issue, but he's been cleared to play Week 11 after practicing fully Friday. The veteran linebacker has posted seven tackles (three solo) and two pass defenses across his last two games.

Dobbins, who has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Chiefs, is believed to be sidelined for the foreseeable future due to a significant foot injury, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Per Rapoport, Dobbins is still working through his options, and while there's been no final determination, IR remains a possibility for the running back. In Dobbins' looming absence, 2025 second-rounder RJ Harvey is poised to lead Denver's backfield, with Tyler Badie and Jaleel McLaughlin slated to work behind him in complementary roles.

Metellus (foot) does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Bears, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

Metellus has been managing a foot injury since early November. He was able to play through the injury against the Ravens in Week 10, and he's been given the green light to play in Sunday's NFC North tilt after logging a full practice Friday. Metellus has recorded 49 tackles (28 solo), including 0.5 sacks, and four pass defenses (including two interceptions) across nine regular-season games.

Key (quadriceps) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Texans, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Key missed the Titans' last four games due to a quadriceps injury he sustained against the Cardinals in Week 5. The Week 10 bye gave him additional time to progress in his recovery, and he was a limited participant in all three practices during Week 11 prep. If Key is cleared to play in Sunday's AFC South tilt, that would mean less defensive snaps at outside linebacker would be available for Truman Jones and Jaylen Harrell.

Seumalo (pectoral) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Bengals, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.

Seumalo downgraded from limited practice sessions Wednesday and Thursday to a DNP on Friday, suggesting he is trending in the wrong direction ahead of Sunday's matchup. The starting left guard missed his first game of the season in Week 10, and if he misses another contest, Spencer Anderson will likely start at left guard again for the Steelers.

Simmons (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Texans, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Simmons ended the week with back-to-back limited practices, and he has a chance to return Sunday from a two-game absence due to a hamstring injury he sustained against the Patriots in Week 7. His return would mean less defensive snaps would be available for the likes of James Lynch, Shy Tuttle and C.J. Ravenell (ankle). Simmons' status for Sunday's AFC South tilt may not be officially known until the Titans announce their list of inactive players approximately 90 minutes before the 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff.

After being limited in practice Wednesday and Thursday, while in a red non-contact jersey as he contended with ankle and rib issues, Shakir sported a normal jersey as he worked fully Friday, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.

Following his return to a full session Friday, Shakir doesn't carry an injury designation ahead of Sunday's contest against Tampa Bay, a game in which the Bills will be missing top tight end Dalton Kincaid (hamstring) but are slated to welcome Joshua Palmer (knee/ankle) back to a WR corps that also features Keon Coleman. Through nine games to date, Shakir has made his fantasy mark by recording a 45-457-3 line on 58 targets in that span.

Trice (hamstring) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Bengals, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.

Trice's 21-day practice window was opened Oct. 29, but the cornerback was unable to participate in practice in any capacity this week. With no reps, the 25-year-old is questionable for Sunday's contest. If he's not activated from IR by Nov. 19, Trice would be forced to sit for the remainder of the 2025 season.
