Zabel (heel) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's clash against the Rams, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.

Zabel is dealing with a heel issue and was limited in all three practices this week, but that won't prevent him from suiting up Sunday. The rookie first-round pick should log his usual role as the Seahawks' starting left guard.

The Seahawks placed Broden (undisclosed) on the practice squad injured list Friday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

It's unclear what type of issue Broden is dealing with, but he won't be eligible to play until mid-December. The rookie wideout has had a couple stints on Seattle's practice squad this season and hasn't yet made his NFL debut.

Howard (concussion) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's matchup against Tennessee.

Howard suffered a concussion against Denver in Week 9 and didn't play last Sunday versus Jacksonville. However, he was a full participant in all three practices this week and is good to go for Sunday's contest. Howard should return to his customary starting role at right tackle.

Fries (calf) does not carry an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game versus Chicago, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

Despite being limited at practice Wednesday and Thursday with a calf issue, Fries practiced in full Friday and is in line to play Sunday. He should start at right guard against a struggling Bears defense in Week 11.

Tom (back) does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Giants, Wes Hodklewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

Tom continues to work through a back issue that he's been dealing with since mid-October, but he's played in each of the Packers' last five games since the Week 5 bye. He's been cleared to play Sunday and will remain the starter at right tackle.

Buckner received regenerative stem cell treatment to address the neck injury that landed him on injured reserve Nov. 7, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.

Buckner traveled to Panama to undergo the treatment as the veteran defensive tackle aims to return during the 2025 season. The earliest he can return from injured reserve is Week 15 against the Seahawks on Sunday, Dec. 14, but the 2016 first-rounder does not have an established timeline for a return. Adetomiwa Adebawore made his first start of the season in Week 10 against the Falcons, and he should continue to see increased work with the first-team defense for as long as Buckner is sidelined.

The Lions placed O'Connor (knee) on injured reserve Friday.

O'Connor didn't practice at all last week and missed Sunday's game against Washington. He was unable to return to practice this week and has consequently been placed on IR. The veteran defensive lineman must now miss at least four contests, so he won't be eligible to return until Sunday, Dec. 14 versus the Rams.

Darrisaw (knee) does not carry an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game versus Chicago, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

Darrisaw missed practice Thursday due to a lingering knee issue, but he'll be good to go again in Week 11. Minnesota's offense has found slightly more success through the air than on the ground so far this year, and the Bears' pass defense has left something to be desired, so Darrisaw's ability to protect rookie quarterback J.J. McCarthy's blind side could be key come Sunday.

Jurgens (knee) does not have an injury designation for Sunday's game against Detroit.

Jurgens has been cleared to return from a two-game absence due to a knee injury that he suffered in Week 7 against the Vikings. He'll reclaim his starting spot at center while Brett Toth provides depth at the position.

Green (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Cleveland.

The injury appears to be a new one for the rookie second-rounder after he popped up on Thursday's practice report as a limited participant. He was unable to practice Friday, which has him trending in the wrong direction heading into Sunday's AFC North contest. David Ojabo would be poised to take on more rotational snaps at outside linebacker behind Dre'Mont Jones and Kyle Van Noy if Green is unable to play in Week 11.
