Palmer (knee/ankle) will be listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Dolphins, head coach Sean McDermott said Friday, Bills radio broadcaster Chris Brown reports.

Palmer was limited in practice both Wednesday and Thursday, and it doesn't sound like that will change Friday. If he gains clearance to suit up Sunday, it would be Palmer's first game action since Week 6.

Engram caught two of five targets for 12 yards in Thursday's 10-7 win over the Raiders.

Engram has secured only two of eight targets over the past two games. This downturn comes after a stretch of five consecutive games with at least four catches. Engram's next opportunity to get back on track will come Nov. 16 against the Chiefs.

Mayer caught three of four targets for 22 yards in Thursday's 10-7 loss to the Broncos.

Mayer had more targets and catches than Brock Bowers, who caught one of three targets for 31 yards. Bowers had an 83 percent snap share compared to Mayer's mark of 62 percent. Given the underwhelming state of Vegas' wide receiver room, the Raiders likely will continue to keep both tight ends involved in the passing game. The team's next game is Monday, Nov. 17 at home against the Cowboys.

Powers-Johnson (ankle) suffered a significant injury in Thursday's 10-7 loss to the Broncos, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Head coach Pete Carroll said after the game that Powers-Johnson is expected to miss an extended period of time. Clarification on the nature of the starting right guard's injury will be provided before the Raiders return to action Nov. 17 against the Cowboys.

Lindstrom (foot) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Colts, Josh Kendall of The Athletic reports.

Left guard Matthew Bergeron (ankle) has been ruled out, so the Falcons could be without both starting guards if Lindstrom isn't available to man his usual spot at right guard. Kyle Hinton and Andrew Stueber are Atlanta's backup guard options.

London (shoulder) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Colts, Josh Kendall of The Athletic reports.

London is coming off a two-sack game against the Patriots, but the 28-year-old defensive tackle hadn't previously registered a sack in his NFL career. If he suits up Sunday in Berlin, London would likely work as part of a rotation on the interior of Atlanta's defensive line.

Hughes (neck) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Colts, Josh Kendall of The Athletic reports.

If Hughes is unable to suit up Sunday morning in Berlin, Natrone Brooks could step into a starting role at outside cornerback. Hughes has 33 tackles (22 solo) and five passes defensed this season.

Daniels suffered no ligament damage and won't need surgery on the dislocated left elbow he suffered in Sunday's loss to the Seahawks, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Daniels received positive news regarding his injury after seeking additional medical opinions, and he will not be immediately placed on injured reserve. Per Nicki Jhabvala of The Athletic, the Commanders will reassess Daniels' status after the team's Week 12 bye. Whether Daniels returns this season will hinge on his health, as well as Washington's chances of making the playoffs. Backup Marcus Mariota will be tasked with keeping Washington's faint playoff hopes alive while Daniels recovers.

Wright is expected to replace the injured Ka'imi Fairbairn (quadriceps) as Houston's placekicker for Sunday's game against the Jaguars, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Wilson goes as far to say that Fairbairn, who leads NFL kickers with 25 field-goal attempts, has been ruled out Week 10, but the Texans have not yet confirmed that. If he replaces Fairbairn, Wright steps into a friendly situation for a kicker, as Houston's offense ranks last in the NFL in converting red-zone appearances into touchdowns.

Njoku could benefit from an injury to tight end Harold Fannin (hamstring), who was added to Cleveland's injury report Thursday.

Following a healthy session Wednesday, Fannin sat out Thursday's practice, which is something to monitor in the days leading up to Sunday's game against the Jets. Njoku and Fannin have been the leading targets for rookie quarterback Dillon Gabriel, whose 4.9 yards per attempt is among the lowest in the league. In three games with Gabriel under center, Njoku has averaged seven targets, recorded six of his seven red-zone targets this season and scored two touchdowns. While the Browns might tilt toward their running game against New York's suspect rush defense, which became weaker following the trade deadline, the theme coming out of practice this week has been about using the ground game to enhance the passing attack. Offensive coordinator Tommy Rees, who was named the team's new play caller Monday, was the tight ends coach in 2024, which could factor into his approach. The Athletic's Zac Jackson also speculates that by not trading Njoku, who is in the final year of his contract, the Browns are hinting that he could be heavily involved in the offense the rest of the way and may be brought back in 2026.
