Quintin Morris TE | JAC
Jaguars' Quintin Morris: Good to go
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.

Gunner Olszewski WR | NYG
Giants' Gunner Olszewski: Looks to clear concussion protocol
Olszewski (concussion) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Commanders, Matt Citak of the Giants' official site reports.
Olszewski was able to upgrade to a limited participant in practice Thursday and then a full participant Friday, signalling his ability to progress through the league's concussion protocol in a timely fashion. The ability to be cleared for full-contact practice implies the returner was able to move past his concussion and will likely play in Sunday's game. If he is unable to go, though, Eric Gray and Devin Singletary will be set to return kicks, and Wan'Dale Robinson will be set to return punts. Olszewski's absence would also possibly allow Jalin Hyatt an opportunity for more offensive snaps at wide receiver.

Nick Chubb RB | HOU
Texans' Nick Chubb: Officially listed as questionable
Chubb (ribs) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.
Chubb missed back-to-back practices to begin Week 15 prep, but he returned as a limited participant Friday. If Chubb is able to gain clearance in time for Sunday's matchup, he'll stand to handle the No. 2 backfield role behind Woody Marks. If Chubb is unable to face Arizona, however, Dare Ogunbowale will figure to inherit an increased workload behind Marks.

Grant Delpit SAF | CLE
Browns' Grant Delpit: Ready to play Sunday
Delpit (illness/groin) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Bears, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.
Delpit upgraded to full participation in practice Friday and is cleared of an injury designation for Week 15 against the Bears. The 27-year-old has yet to miss a game this season, accounting for 64 tackles (34 solo), including 1.0 sacks, four pass breakups, including one interception, and one forced fumble in 13 games.

Breece Hall RB | NYJ
Jets' Breece Hall: Ready for Week 15
Hall (knee) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game in Jacksonville, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
Hall kicked off this week with no practice Wednesday due to a knee injury, but he progressed from limited Thursday to all activity Friday, clearing him to continue to lead the Jets backfield this weekend. Since the team's Week 9 bye, he's racked up 93 touches for 427 yards from scrimmage and two total TDs over the last five contests. With undrafted rookie QB Brady Cook set to start Sunday with Tyrod Taylor (groin) and Justin Fields (knee) unavailable, Hall could take on even more of the onus for New York's offense.

Riley Leonard QB | IND
Colts' Riley Leonard: No injury designation, starter TBD
Leonard (knee) doesn't carry an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Seahawks after practicing fully this week.
While Leonard is healthy enough to be available this weekend, the Colts have yet to reveal their Week 15 starting QB plans, with veteran newcomer Philip Rivers also a candidate to get the nod, per JJ Stankevitz of the team's official site. On that subject, coach Shane Steichen noted Friday afternoon, "We're going to work through that right now. We literally just got off the practice field, but (Rivers) had a good week of work, and we'll have those discussions here in the next couple hours." In any case, in order for Rivers to be in uniform Sunday, the Colts will either need to elevate him to their active roster from the practice squad, or sign him to the 53-man roster by Saturday afternoon's transaction deadline.

Darius Muasau LB | NYG
Giants' Darius Muasau: Questionable to return from IR
Muasau (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Commanders, Matt Citak of the Giants' official site reports.
Muasau had his 21-day practice window opened Tuesday and was able to log full participation in all three sessions this week. The return of the inside linebacker could be a needle-mover for this Giants defense, especially with the potential absence of Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles (illness/neck/knee).

Dexter Lawrence DT | CIN
Giants' Dexter Lawrence: Listed as questionable for Week 15
Lawrence (hamstring) was added to Friday's injury report and is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Commanders, Patricia Traina of SI.com reports.
Lawrence appears to have picked up a hamstring injury during Friday's practice, making his status for Sunday's divisional matchup legitimately uncertain. With D.J. Davidson (illness) also listed as questionable, it's possible the Giants will be significantly depleted along the interior defensive line versus the Commanders.
-
Jake Ferguson TE | DAL
Cowboys' Jake Ferguson: Expected to play
Cowboys EVP Stephen Jones said Friday that he expects Ferguson (calf) to play Sunday night against the Vikings, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.
Ferguson was a limited practice participant Wednesday and then sat out Thursday, but Jones said the tight end looked good during Friday's practice. It still seems more likely than not for Ferguson to enter the game with a 'questionable' designation, which could be tricky for managers ahead of a primetime kickoff (8:20 p.m. ET Sunday).

Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles LB | NYG
Giants' Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles: Questionable for Sunday
Flannigan-Fowles (illness/neck) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Commanders, Matt Citak of the Giants' official site reports.
Flannigan-Fowles was a full participant in Wednesday and Thursday's practice sessions before failing to participate Friday. It is unclear if the linebacker missed the session purely due to illness or if he potentially also suffered a setback with his neck injury. If the starter cannot suit up, Zaire Barnes and Neville Hewitt will likely see an increased snap share at inside linebacker. Darius Muasau (ankle) has been designated to return from IR and could also look to reclaim a starting role if he can play.
