Johnson (groin) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Vikings.

The All-Pro corner from Utah has missed the Bears' last seven games due to a groin injury, but he returned to practice and logged a limited session Friday. Johnson still remains on the injured reserve list and must be activated to Chicago's active roster in order to play Sunday. If active, he's expected to operate as one of the team's top boundary cornerbacks.

Golden (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at the Giants, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Fellow rookie wideout Savion Williams (foot) is also listed as questionable, while Christian Watson (knee), Romeo Doubs (chest) and Dontayvion Wicks (calf) are all cleared to play. Doubs has been the safest bet for playing time and targets whenever he's healthy, but Watson and Wicks also took a comfortable majority of snaps in Monday's 10-7 loss to the Eagles. Week 11 projections for Watson and Wicks partially depend on whether Golden is declared inactive ahead of a 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff Sunday. If the speedy rookie plays, it'll be the first time Green Bay has all of Doubs, Golden, Watson and Wicks available for the same game.

Washington (hamstring) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Chargers.

Washington didn't practice Wednesday and was limited both Thursday and Friday, but he has gained clearance to suit up Sunday. He has been targeted at least seven times in each of Jacksonville's last three games, but Washington's usage may dip if the Jaguars get Brian Thomas (ankle) back Sunday. Thomas is listed as questionable.

Burton (illness) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Steelers.

The second-year wideout from Alabama didn't practice Thursday due to an illness, but he logged a full session Friday, indicating that he's moved past the issue in time to play Sunday. Now fully healthy, Burton is expected to play a depth role in Cincinnati's wide-receiver corps in the Week 11 divisional matchup.

Strange (hip) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Chargers.

Since the Jaguars designated Strange for return from injured reserve Wednesday, he logged a pair of limited practices before sitting out Friday's session. It's unclear if he may have tweaked the quad injury that has sidelined him since Week 6, but he at least isn't a candidate to be activated for Week 11 action. Among tight ends on Jacksonville's active roster, Hunter Long (hip/knee) also won't play Sunday, leaving Johnny Mundt and Quintin Morris as the options at the position.

Lewis (calf) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Buccaneers.

Lewis was a limited participant in all three practices this week with a calf injury. The slot cornerback was able to play through a shoulder injury in the Bills' Week 10 loss to the Dolphins despite logging limited sessions throughout that week as well. The 28-year-old's status for Sunday's game may also revolve around starting slot cornerback Taron Johnson (groin) and his availability. If Lewis is able to suit up, he will likely either back up a starting Johnson or share slot cornerback snaps with fellow University at Buffalo product Ja'Marcus Ingram if Johnson is unable to go for a third straight week.

Thomas (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Chargers.

Thomas' questionable designation comes on the heels of three consecutive limited practices. If he returns from a one-game absence Sunday, Thomas would likely jump right back into a leading role in a Jacksonville receiving corps that also features Jakobi Meyers, Parker Washington and Dyami Brown.

Greenard (shoulder) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Bears, Dane Mizutani of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

The 28-year-old sustained a shoulder injury in the Vikings' Week 10 loss to the Ravens and is now in line to miss his first game of the season Sunday. Greenard is an integral part of Minnesota's defense, recording 31 total tackles, including 2.0 sacks, and three passes defended over nine appearances this season. While he's sidelined in Week 11, expect 2024 first-round pick Dallas Turner to start at outside linebacker.

Sanders (knee) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Buccaneers.

The South Carolina product was designated to return from the injured reserve list Tuesday, and following a week of full practice sessions, he's got a chance to play Sunday. However, Sanders must still be activated to the Bills' active roster in order to suit up in Week 11. If active, he'll likely operate as one of Buffalo's top interior defensive linemen.

Pacheco (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Broncos.

With Pacheco, who last saw game action Week 8, still sidelined, Kareem Hunt is poised to continue to lead the Chiefs backfield this weekend, while Brashard Smith, Elijah Mitchell and potential practice-squad elevation Clyde Edwards-Helaire available to mix in. Pacheco's next chance to see game action will occur Sunday, Nov. 23 against the Colts. While filling in for Pacheco in a Week 9 loss to the Bills (prior to Kansas City's bye), Hunt carried 11 times for 49 yards and a touchdown while catching one of two targets for six yards. In that contest, Smith logged three carries for seven yards, and Edwards-Helaire rushed twice for five yards.
