Thomas (concussion) was estimated to be a non-participant at Monday's walkthrough, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Thomas suffered a concussion in Sunday's 27-20 win over the Browns, so his absence Monday comes as no surprise. The cornerback is facing an uphill battle to play in Thursday night's contest against the Patriots, and if he's unavailable, Qwan'tez Stiggers would be a candidate to see an increase in workload in New York's secondary.

Okereke recorded six tackles (one solo) in Sunday's 24-20 loss to the Bears.

Okereke had a normal role, logging 100 percent of defensive snaps for the seventh straight game. However, he logged only one solo tackle, his lowest total of the campaign. Okereke should bounce back in Week 11 against the Packers.

Elliss (hip) was a limited participant in Monday's walkthrough practice.

Elliss was unable to play in Sunday's 28-23 win over Tampa Bay due to a hip injury he sustained against Atlanta in Week 9. The Patriots are operating on a short week, so his practice participation over the next two days will shed light on his chances of playing against the Jets on Thursday.

Hawkins (shoulder) was listed as a limited practice participant on Monday's injury report.

Hawkins likely picked up the injury during the Patriots' 28-23 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday, when he logged six tackles (four solo) while playing 66 of 69 defensive snaps. New England held a walkthrough Monday, so the sixth-year safety will have two more opportunities to increase his practice participation ahead of Thursday's AFC East clash against the Jets.

Brown recorded 10 tackles (three solo) and one pass defensed in Sunday's 42-26 loss to the Rams.

Brown has served as the 49ers' strong safety since Week 6, and he logged 100 percent of defensive snaps for the fifth straight game. He had his most productive game of the season, with his previous high being five tackles. Brown also has a pass defensed in consecutive contests.

Hooper (concussion) did not participate in Monday's walkthrough practice.

Hooper entered concussion protocol following the Patriots' 28-23 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday, when he did not record a catch on one target while playing 34 of 61 offensive snaps. Hooper will progress through the league's five-step concussion protocol, which makes it unlikely that he'll be cleared to play in Thursday's AFC East tilt against the Jets. Hooper and Hunter Henry are the only two tight ends on the Patriots' active roster, which makes Thomas Odukoya and C.J. Dippre the top candidates to be elevated from New England's practice squad for Week 11 if Hooper is indeed ruled out.

Bethune recorded 10 tackles (two solo), including one tackle for loss, in Sunday's 42-26 loss to the Rams.

Bethune was questionable for Sunday's game due to a thigh injury, but he managed to play 96 percent of defensive snaps. He also logged double-digit tackles for the fifth straight game. Bethune should continue to be a very valuable IDP option with Fred Warner (ankle) out for the season.

Metellus totaled three tackles (two solo) during the Vikings' 27-19 loss to the Ravens on Sunday.

The sixth-year safety was nursing a foot injury during Week 10 prep, but the issue didn't appear to bother him Sunday as he played every single defensive snap. His three stops matched a season low, and through nine regular-season games he has posted 49 tackles (28 solo), including 0.5 sacks, and four pass defenses (two interceptions).

Cashman registered 11 tackles (four solo) during the Vikings' 27-19 loss to the Ravens on Sunday.

Cashman led the Vikings in tackles for a third consecutive game while playing every single defensive snap. He has accumulated 40 tackles (18 solo) and one forced fumble in his four games since returning from a hamstring injury.

Kaho (concussion) will not travel with the Commanders to Madrid and has been ruled out for the Commanders' Week 11 matchup against the Dolphins.

Kaho suffered a concussion in the Commanders' Week 10 loss to Detroit. He won't have time to pass the league's concussion protocol ahead of Sunday's game against the Dolphins and thus has been ruled out well in advance of the next game.
