Matthew Golden WR | GB
Packers' Matthew Golden: 'Fighting' to play Week 10
Head coach Matt LaFleur told reporters Saturday that Golden is considered "day-to-day" due to a shoulder injury, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.
"It's one of these deals where [Golden] is fighting to play. We'll see how he's feeling today whether he goes out and practices," LaFleur relayed Saturday. Golden sustained a shoulder injury during the Packers' Week 9 loss to the Panthers, which limited his practice participation Thursday before he sat out of Friday's session. The Packers are dealing with several injuries at wide receiver, and Saturday's practice report will indicate the game-day designations for Golden, Christian Watson (knee), Dontayvion Wicks (calf), Savion Williams (foot) and Malik Heath (hip).

Aaron Jones RB | MIN
Vikings' Aaron Jones: Expected to play vs. Baltimore
Jones (shoulder/toe) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Ravens but is expected to play, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
Jones ended Week 10 prep with back-to-back limited practices to draw the questionable tag, but he relayed to reporters after Friday's session that he'll "be in a good spot" by Sunday, per Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com. Jones' official status may not be known until the Vikings announce their list of inactive players approximately 90 minutes before the 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff, but the veteran running back is trending toward being available for the Vikings. Jordan Mason and Zavier Scott would be in line for more backfield snaps if Jones is ruled out or operates on a snap count.

Talanoa Hufanga SAF | DEN
Broncos' Talanoa Hufanga: Logs sack in win
Hufanga recorded nine tackles (five solo), including 1.0 sacks, in Thursday's 10-7 win over the Raiders.
Hufanga played all 60 of the Broncos' defensive snaps Thursday, finishing with nine total tackles for the second straight week. The 25-year-old safety led the team in takedowns as he continued to prove to be one of Denver's best free-agent signings this offseason. Hufanga's sack in the contest was his second of the season, and the veteran has now recorded 70 total tackles through 10 games, the second most of any Broncos defender. Hufanga will look to build upon this momentum in Week 11 when the Broncos host the Chiefs.

Jake Brendel C | SF
49ers' Jake Brendel: Returning to action in Week 10
Brendel (hamstring) does not have an injury designation for Sunday's battle against the Rams, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
Brendel hurt his hamstring in Week 7 against Atlanta and missed San Francisco's subsequent two contests. However, he was able to log an LP/LP/FP practice progression this week and has been given clearance to return to action Sunday. Matt Hennessy has done a serviceable job filling in at center the past two weeks, but Brendel figures to retake his starting role against the Rams.

Will Hernandez G | ARI
Cardinals' Will Hernandez: Iffy to play in Week 10
Hernandez (knee) is questionable for Sunday's matchup against Seattle, Tyler Drake of ArizonaSports.com reports.
Hernandez underwent knee surgery last fall and missed the first four weeks of this season while on IR. Since returning, Hernandez hasn't missed a game, and he's played every offensive snap since Week 6. It's unclear if Hernandez is dealing with lingering soreness from the surgery or if he's picked up a new issue, but if he doesn't play Sunday, Isaiah Adams could be asked to step in to start at right guard.

Tony Jefferson S | LAC
Chargers' Tony Jefferson: Cleared to suit up in Week 10
Jefferson (hamstring) does not have an injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup versus the Steelers, Eric Smith of the Chargers' official site reports.
Jefferson hurt his hamstring against the Vikings in Week 8. After sitting out this past Sunday's win against the Titans, the veteran defensive back logged limited practice sessions Wednesday and Thursday before upgrading to full participation Friday this week. Jefferson is thus set to return to action Sunday.

Mekhi Becton OT | LAC
Chargers' Mekhi Becton: Set to return Sunday
Becton (knee) doesn't have an injury designation ahead of Sunday's Week 10 matchup versus Pittsburgh, Eric Smith of the Chargers' official site reports.
Becton hurt his knee in Week 8 against Minnesota and missed this past Sunday's matchup versus Tennessee. However, he was able to log an LP/LP/FP practice progression this week to get cleared to return to action against the Steelers. Becton should thus move back into his starting role at right guard.

Ezra Cleveland G | JAC
Jaguars' Ezra Cleveland: Won't play Week 10
Cleveland (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's matchup versus Houston.
Cleveland hurt his knee this past Sunday against Las Vegas and wasn't able to practice at all this week. Rookie Wyatt Milum may get the opportunity to start at left guard in Cleveland's absence.

Tytus Howard OT | CLE
Texans' Tytus Howard: Won't play Week 10
Howard (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Jaguars.
Howard entered the league's concussion protocol during the Texans' Week 9 loss to the Broncos. He was unable to practice all week before being ruled out for Sunday's AFC South clash, so Blake Fisher will likely start at right tackle in Howard's absence.
-
Ed Ingram G | HOU
Texans' Ed Ingram: Not playing Week 10
Ingram (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Jaguars.
Ingram injured his knee during the Texans' Week 9 loss to the Broncos. The injury prevented him from practicing all week, and the fourth-year pro will end up being sidelined for Sunday's AFC South tilt. Laken Tomlinson figures to start at right guard in Ingram's absence.
