Schwesinger (ankle) is active for Sunday's matchup with the Jets.

The rookie middle linebacker suffered a high ankle sprain during the Browns' Week 8 loss to the Patriots and then missed two practice sessions following the team's Week 9 bye. At the same time, the injury was never believed to be "major," per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. Schwesinger has enjoyed a strong rookie season, with 64 total tackles, including 1.0 sacks, and one interception.

Hill (ankle) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Bills.

Hill is set to miss his third straight game with the ankle injury. He managed to log three limited practices in preparation for the matchup against Buffalo, so he should be nearing a return. With Darren Waller (pectoral) also sidelined, Greg Dulcich should have some opportunity after recording five catches in Week 9.

Mauigoa (concussion) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Browns.

Mauigoa was able to log a full practice Friday, but he has not progressed through the league's five-step concussion protocol enough to be cleared to play Sunday. He'll need to be assessed and cleared by an independent neurologist in order to be available for the Jets' next game Thursday against the Patriots. Mauigoa's absence means Ja'Markis Weston, Kobe King and Mykal Walker are candidates to start at linebacker.

Eluemunor (pectoral) is active for Sunday's game against the Bears, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

After not playing in Week 9 due to a pectoral injury, Eluemunor remained sidelined at Wednesday's practice. However, he closed out Week 10 prep with two limited sessions and will return to his usual role as the Giants' right tackle Sunday, sending Marcus Mbow back to a reserve role.

Smythe (calf) is active for Sunday's game against the Giants.

Smythe has yet to receive a target this season through eight games and his role in Sunday's contest will likely be a limited one as an additional blocker. The bulk of passing attempts to the tight end position will likely be absorbed by starters Cole Kmet and Colston Loveland.

Palmer (knee/ankle) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Dolphins.

Palmer, who last saw game action in Week 6, was a limited practice participant this week before being deemed questionable for Sunday's contest. In his continued absence, Tyrell Shavers, Curtis Samuel and Elijah Moore are next in line for Buffalo's WR snaps behind Keon Coleman and Khalil Shakir. Palmer will target a potential return to action Nov. 16 against the Buccaneers.

Holland (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Bears, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Despite not logging a full practice during Week 10 prep, Holland will return to action Sunday, snapping a two-game absence. In six healthy games this season, Holland has racked up 28 tackles (16 solo) and three pass defenses.

McMillan (hamstring) is listed as active Sunday against the Saints, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

After McMillan was added to the Panthers' Week 10 practice report Friday as a limited participant due to a hamstring injury, coach Dave Canales expressed "concern" for the rookie wide receiver's status due to something that "popped up" during drills, per Alex Zietlow of The Charlotte Observer. McMillan thus took a questionable designation into the weekend, but Adam Schefter of ESPN reported Saturday evening that he was expected to suit up for Sunday's game, which has come to pass. It's unclear if McMillan will have a cap on his snaps, but considering New Orleans' defense has allowed the fourth-most TDs (11) and 10th-most yards per target (8.3) to opposing WRs in nine contests this season, he's a decent enough bet to take advantage of any looks he gets from QB Bryce Young.

Rush (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Vikings but will serve as the Ravens' emergency third quarterback.

Lamar Jackson is healthy for a second consecutive week after missing three straight games. That leaves Rush as the emergency QB, meaning he can only enter Sunday's contest if Jackson and Tyler Huntley are removed due to injury, illness or ejection.

Swift (groin/personal) is active for Sunday's game against the Giants.

After he was sidelined for the first time all season in the Bears' Week 9 win over the Bengals, Swift returned to practice Wednesday as a limited participant. He appeared to clear up any lingering concern about the health of his groin by practicing fully Thursday, but he ended up taking a questionable tag into Sunday after a personal matter kept him off the field for the Bears' final session of the week Friday. Though Swift is now ready to play ahead of Sunday's contest and isn't expected to be operating with any restrictions in his return to the lineup, he could be at risk of ceding more work to No. 2 back Kyle Monangai, who broke out with 198 yards from scrimmage and a touchdown on 29 touches in the victory over the Bengals. Head coach Ben Johnson suggested Friday that he would likely take a hot-hand approach to the backfield between Swift and Monangai during Sunday's contest, per Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com.
