Jones (shoulder/toe) is active for Sunday's game against the Ravens.

Jones emerged from last Sunday's win in Detroit with an AC joint sprain in his right shoulder, which, along with a toe injury, led to a DNP/LP/LP practice regimen. While the Vikings listed him as questionable for Week 10 action, he told Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com on Friday that "I still have two days, so I feel like I'll be in a good spot" by Sunday. With his active status now confirmed, Jones will continue to split the backfield with Jordan Mason, which has amounted to 18 touches for 138 yards from scrimmage and no touchdowns for Jones over the past two contests (as opposed to Mason's 16 touches for 43 total yards and no TDs during that same span).

Stewart is being evaluated for a possible concussion and is questionable to return to Sunday's game against Atlanta.

Stewart took a hit to the head while tackling Tyler Allgeier early in the third quarter, which led to the former being taken to the locker room to be evaluated by medical staff. The Colts are already without DeForest Buckner (neck - IR), so Adetomiwa Adebawore, Eric Johnson and Neville Gallimore would be slated for even more snaps at defensive tackle if Stewart is not cleared to return.

Roach finished with three tackles (two solo), including 1.0 sacks, in Thursday's 10-7 win over the Raiders.

The defensive tackle also played 45 percent of the defensive snaps, a rotational role he's been filling since returning to the lineup in October. Roach has 19 tackles (six solo), including 2.0 sacks, on the year in total.

Cooper finished with two tackles (one solo), including 0.5 sacks, in Thursday's 10-7 win over the Raiders.

The linebacker is up to 7.5 sacks on the year, good for fifth in the league. He has also played about half of the defensive snaps or more in every game but one. Cooper is a major contributor to the league's best pass-rushing defense.

Tillman recorded three tackles (one solo) and an interception during Denver's 10-7 win over Las Vegas on Thursday.

Tillman jumped in front of a Geno Smith pass intended for Ashton Jeanty late in the third quarter, though the Broncos offense couldn't capitalize on the turnover despite being set up in enemy territory. Both of Tillman's interceptions this season have come over his last three games, and he is up to 23 tackles (seven solo), including 1.5 sacks, and three pass defenses through 10 regular-season games.

Moss registered five tackles (four solo) during the Broncos' 10-7 win over the Raiders on Thursday.

Moss was working through a minor ankle injury leading up to Thursday's game, but that didn't appear to bother him as he played all 60 defensive snaps. The third-year corner has recorded at least five stops in five of his last six games and is up to 48 tackles (35 solo) and 10 pass defenses through 10 regular-season games.

Franklin-Myers logged three tackles (one solo), including 0.5 sacks, during the Broncos' 10-7 win over the Raiders on Thursday.

Franklin-Myers combined with Jonathan Cooper for a three-yard sack on Geno Smith early in the fourth quarter, which forced the Raiders to punt the next play. Franklin-Myers is now up to 4.5 sacks through 10 regular-season games, which is fourth most on the Broncos behind Nik Bonitto (9.5), Cooper (7.5) and Zach Allen (6.0).

Alford (concussion) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Colts, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

Alford was assessed by medical staff after taking a hit to the head in the first half, and the fourth-year pro has entered the league's concussion protocol and will not return. Natrone Brooks and Keith Taylor are in line for more snaps at outside corner in Alford's absence.

Alford is being evaluated for a possible concussion and is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Colts, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

Alford took a hit to the head in the first quarter of Sunday's game, and he is being evaluated by medical staff to determine whether he can return. He got the start at corner in the absence of Mike Hughes (neck), so the Falcons could opt to insert Natrone Brooks at outside corner or shift Billy Bowman from the slot for as long as Alford is out of the game.

Roberts was forced out of Sunday's game against the Colts in Berlin in the first quarter due to an ankle injury and is considered questionable to return, Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com reports.

Roberts registered one tackle before checking out of the game due to the injury. The fourth-year nose tackle typically handles a rotational role along the Atlanta defensive line, as he's played less than 50 percent of the snaps in each of his prior four appearances on the season.
