Van Ness (foot) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Giants, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

Van Ness ended the week with back-to-back limited practices, and the consistency in participation likely means he is trending up ahead of Sunday's contest. However, if the 2023 first-rounder is unable to suit up this week, Kingsley Enagbare will likely continue to acquire the lion's share of rotational defensive end reps for the Packers' defense.

Parsons (pectoral) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Giants, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

With another limited practice under his belt, Parsons has replicated his practice pattern from last week and, just like last week, will enter the weekend without an injury designation. The star pass rusher is good to go for Sunday's game against the Giants and will look to add to his 6.5 sacks as he faces a former divisional rival.

Pitre (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Tennessee.

Pitre entered the league's concussion protocol following the Texans' Week 9 loss to the Broncos. He hasn't been able to practice since, and he'll miss a second consecutive game as a result. Pitre's absence means Myles Bryant will continue to work in a meaningful role in the Texans' secondary.

Bryant (neck/shoulder) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Titans.

Bryant was unable to practice all week due to neck and shoulder injuries, and the sixth-year pro will not be available for Sunday's AFC South tilt. Dalton Schultz (illness/shoulder) has been cleared to play against Tennessee, and Cade Stover (foot) could be activated from injured reserve to fill in as the TE2 in Bryant's absence. If Stover isn't activated, then the Texans would likely elevate Luke Lachey from the practice squad to be Schultz's backup.

Williams (foot) is listed as questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Giants, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

Williams completed the week of practice with a third limited session, and the rookie could once again look to play through injury, as he did Week 10 against the Eagles. The wide receiver caught a pair of targets for two receiving yards on six offensive snaps and added 57 kick-return yards on three special-teams snaps in last Sunday's loss. The 23-year-old will likely have similar usage if he is able to suit up for this Sunday's contest.

Mims (concussion) doesn't carry an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Chiefs after practicing fully this week.

Mims is thus slated to see his first game action since Week 8, with his looming return bolstering a Denver WR corps that also features Courtland Sutton and Troy Franklin. In eight contests to date, Mims has caught 22 passes on 32 targets for 234 yards and a TD, a level of production that has limited his fantasy impact to deeper formats. He did have a pair of six-catch efforts in that span, but apart from that his output was modest in his other six outings.

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

Oliver logged a full practice Friday, and his lack of an injury tag means he will return Sunday from a two-game absence due to a foot injury. He'll slot back into the TE2 spot behind T.J. Hockenson, which means less snaps on offense will be available for Ben Yurosek and Ben Sims. Oliver has caught five passes (on seven targets) for 61 yards and two touchdowns across seven regular-season games.

Jackson (concussion) does not have an injury designation for Sunday's game against Chicago, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

Jackson ended the week with back-to-back full practices, and his lack of an injury designation indicates that he has cleared the league's five-step concussion protocol ahead of Sunday's NFC North clash. He was unable to play against the Ravens in Week 10, so his return in Week 11 means less defensive snaps will be available in the secondary for Fabian Moreau, Jay Ward and Tavierre Thomas.

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.
