David (knee) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Saints, Brianna Dix of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

The veteran linebacker from Nebraska upgraded from limited practice Thursday to a full session Friday, so it's no surprise he's suiting up for Sunday's divisional matchup. David has yet to miss a game this season, recording 47 total tackles, including 2.5 sacks, and two passes defended over 445 defensive snaps. He's expected to remain Tampa Bay's top inside linebacker and defensive signal caller in the Week 8 contest.

Hopkins (illness) practiced without limitations Friday and doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Bears.

Hopkins will be available Sunday, and he could be joined by Lamar Jackson (hamstring), who is listed as questionable but appears to be tracking toward returning after putting in a full practice Friday. Hopkins began his Ravens tenure with a two-game touchdown streak but hasn't recorded more than two receptions in a game this season.

Winfield (toe) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Saints, Brianna Dix of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

Winfield upgraded from a DNP on Wednesday to a full practice session Friday, suggesting that he's moved past his toe injury in time for the Week 8 contest. The All-Pro safety has appeared in all seven of Tampa Bay's games this season, recording 35 total tackles, including 1.0 sacks, two passes defended and one forced fumble. Expect Winfield to start alongside Tykee Smith to form the Bucs' top safety duo Sunday.

Jeudy (knee) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Patriots, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

Jeudy remained limited at practice Friday after a DNP on Wednesday and capped session Thursday, but he evidently showed Cleveland's staff enough to avoid a Week 8 injury designation. He has caught only 22 of 52 targets for 257 yards this season, with both poor quarterback play and Jeudy's own drops contributing to his underwhelming stat line.

Bridgewater (teeth) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Saints, Brianna Dix of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

Although Bridgewater missed the Buccaneers' first two practices this week, he was a full go Friday, indicating that he's ready to play in Sunday's contest. Now fully healthy, the 2014 first-round pick is expected to operate as Tampa Bay's No. 2 quarterback in the Week 8 divisional matchup.

Burns (hip) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Eagles, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Burns didn't practice earlier in the week but remains expected to play against the Eagles, according to Evan Barnes of Newsday. Burns has been a menace off the edge for the Giants this season, posting 34 tackles (23 solo), including league highs in tackles for loss (12) and sacks (nine) to go along with four pass breakups and one forced fumble.

Jones (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Ravens.

Jones downgraded from a limited session Wednesday to DNPs on Thursday and Friday, so it's no surprise he'll be sidelined for the Week 8 contest. Expect Ozzy Trapilo to operate as the Bears' top reserve tackle in Jones' stead.

Diggs (chest) doesn't carry an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Browns after practicing fully Friday.

Diggs was limited Wednesday and Thursday as he continues to manage a chest issue, but the wideout's full participation in Friday's session clears the way for him to maintain his key pass-catching role in New England's offense. Through seven games thus far this season, Diggs leads his team in targets (44), catches (39) and receiving yards (456), a pace that keeps him on the fantasy lineup radar Week 8.

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

Holland was injured in last Sunday's loss to the Broncos and appears likely to miss his first game of the season. Dane Belton filled in at safety following Holland's injury last week and figures to be next in line to start alongside Tyler Nubin.

Gaines (toe) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Saints, Brianna Dix of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

The veteran defensive tackle upgraded from a DNP on Wednesday to a full session Friday, suggesting he's moved past his toe injury in time to suit up Sunday. Gaines has appeared in all seven of Tampa Bay's games this season, recording five total tackles, including 1.0 sacks. He's expected to serve as one of the team's top reserve defensive linemen in the Week 8 divisional matchup.
