Wagner (knee) doesn't have an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Giants.

Wagner did not participate in practice Wednesday or Thursday before returning as a full participant in Friday's session. The veteran is set to suit up as the defensive leader for Sunday's game. The starting middle linebacker has not missed a game this season and has played 100 percent of defensive snaps in all but one contest, a trend that will likely continue in Week 15.

Achane (ribs) was a limited participant in Friday's practice, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.

Achane wore a red non-contact jersey at practice Friday, Joe Schad of The Palm Beach Post reports, but he appeared to be running at full speed without signs of discomfort. Per Hal Habib of The Palm Beach Post, the standout running back is testing forms of protective equipment he could use to guard his ribs during Monday's road matchup against the Steelers, while Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports that the Dolphins do expect Achane to be available Week 15. That said, after the impressive showing Jaylen Wright logged Week 14, Miami could opt to assign Achane less touches than his workhorse role usually entails, even if he's active. He'll have one final chance to handle contact reps at Saturday's practice.

Jacobs (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Broncos.

It's the same knee injury that held Jacobs out for Week 12, with reports suggesting he was bothered by increased swelling in the aftermath of a Week 14 win over Chicago. He didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday but returned to limited participation Friday, setting up a potential game-day decision ahead of a 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff Sunday. Fellow Packers running back Emanuel Wilson becomes an attractive lineup option if Jacobs ends up inactive, having taken 28 carries for 107 yards and two TDs when Jacobs missed the Week 12 win over Minnesota.

Saubert (calf) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Colts, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.

Saubert was placed on injured reserve after suffering a calf injury in the Seahawks' Week 7 win over the Texans. The tight end has been working his way back and was able to log enough practice sessions in some capacity to be considered questionable for Sunday's matchup. If Saubert can suit up, he will likely slot in as the No. 2 tight end behind 2024 fourth-round pick AJ Barner.

Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald said Friday that Horton (shin) recently underwent tests that should shine some light on his timeline to return, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.

Horton is eligible to return from injured reserve for Week 16, but Macdonald's comments sounded an awful lot like the coach-speak version of saying the rookie won't be ready soon. "It's still a process right now," said Macdonald. "We got some tests going on, not as we speak, but in the last day or two, and that'll be indicative of how fast we can accelerate everything."

Love (hamstring) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Colts, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.

Love played just 31 percent of defensive snaps in last Sunday's win over the Vikings, likely being eased back into the defense after a prolonged stint on injured reserve. The free safety should see an increased amount of defensive reps this week, likely taking more away from Ty Okada as the starter gets back in the mix.

Harris (knee) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Bears, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

Harris is set to play against the Bears after upgrading to full participation in practice Friday. The 34-year-old will continue to start in place of Maliek Collins (quadriceps), who suffered a season-ending injury in Week 13 against the 49ers. The ninth-year veteran has 25 tackles (11 solo), including 0.5 sacks, and two pass breakups through 13 games this season.

Ferguson (calf) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Minnesota after logging a limited practice Friday, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

Ferguson sandwiched two limited practices around a Thursday absence, with Cowboys EVP Stephen Jones revealing Friday that the team expects its top tight end to be available Sunday night. If not, Luke Schoonmaker and Brevyn Spann-Ford will be the top TEs for an offense that's consolidated around RB Javonte Williams, WR CeeDee Lamb and WR George Pickens over the past month. Anyone considering Ferguson as a Week 15 lineup option should keep an eye on the situation, as he'd be a high-risk play if there's any hint of real danger for missing SNF.

Nubin (quadriceps) does not carry an injury designation for Sunday's game against Washington.

Nubin popped up on Thursday's injury report as a limited participant, but he resumed practicing in full Friday. The second-year pro is fully on track to handle his usual sizeable defensive workload at safety versus the Commanders.

Morris (ankle) doesn't have an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Jets.

Morris was a full participant in Friday's practice and has moved past his ankle injury enough to be cleared of any injury designation going into Sunday's contest. The No. 2 tight end has logged two receptions for 25 yards on five targets through 10 games played this season and will likely continue in his primary role as a blocking tight end for the Jaguars' offense.
