Phillips (foot) is questionable for Thursday night's game against the Patriots.

Following back-to-back DNP listings Monday and Tuesday, Phillips got in a limited session Wednesday, giving him a chance to play versus New England. Phillips has yet to miss a game this season after being acquired from the Vikings ahead of Week 1.

Woods (hamstring) didn't participate in Tennessee's practice Wednesday, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports.

Woods continues to battle the hamstring injury that held him out of the team's Week 9 loss to the Chargers. If he's forced to miss a second straight game, Quandre Diggs would likely draw another start at free safety.

McDonald (quadriceps) is questionable for Thursday night's game against the Patriots.

McDonald got in a limited practice Wednesday, giving him a chance to suit up Thursday, as he's coming off a monster Week 10 performance against Cleveland in which he piled up 4.0 sacks.

Herbert (groin) is questionable for Thursday night's game against the Patriots.

Herbert has practiced in full this week, but the Jets are still listing him as questionable. Herbert has yet to play a single offensive snap this season, seeing just 17 on special teams across two appearances.

Gibbens (hamstring) does not carry an injury designation ahead of Thursday's game versus the Jets.

After being limited by a hamstring issue at practice Monday and Tuesday, Gibbens was a full participant at practice Wednesday and will play in Week 11. With Christian Elliss (hip) out, Gibbens actually projects to start at linebacker next to veteran Robert Spillane on Thursday.

Okereke (shoulder) was estimated to have not practiced Wednesday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Okereke played 100 percent of defensive snaps in Sunday's loss to the Bears and managed six tackles. This is his first time appearing on the injury report this season, though it's unclear if he's in any danger of missing Sunday's matchup against the Packers.

Mauigoa (concussion) doesn't carry an injury designation into Thursday night's game against the Patriots.

Mauigoa missed Week 10 against the Browns but appears to be all systems go for Thursday night's date with New England. The fifth-round rookie has started the last five games he's appeared in this season and has totaled 34 tackles (13 solo) on 265 defensive snaps this season.

Schwesinger was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice due to a shoulder injury, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.

Schwesinger overcame an ankle injury to play in the Browns' Week 10 loss to the Jets, when he logged a team-high nine tackles, including 0.5 sacks, while playing every single defensive snap. He now appears to be working through a shoulder issue, though his ability to practice Wednesday in a limited capacity indicates the injury isn't serious. The rookie second-rounder would avoid an injury designation heading into Sunday's AFC North tilt against the Ravens if he practices in full Thursday or Friday.

Simmons (hamstring) didn't participate in Tennessee's practice Wednesday, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports.

Simmons continues to deal with the hamstring injury that has sidelined him for the team's last two outings. If the 28-year-old ends up being unable to play in Sunday's matchup versus the Titans, C.J. Ravenell should once again see an expanded role.

Ransom (hand) did not practice Wednesday, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

Per Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer, Ransom underwent a hand procedure and is considered day-to-day. It's unclear if he has a chance to suit up for Sunday's matchup against Atlanta, and he'll likely need to turn in some level of practice participation in the next two days.
