Barkley (hamstring/back) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game against the Giants.

After sitting out Wednesday's session due to lingering hamstring and back injuries, Barkley ended Week 9 prep with back-to-back limited practices, which was enough to get the call clear ahead of Sunday. He gutted out a 32 percent snap share this past Sunday in Washington en route to 14 touches for 54 yards from scrimmage and one rushing TD while splitting the backfield with Elijah Mitchell (15 touches for 37 total yards).

McCaffrey (hamstring) took part in the open portion of Friday's practice, Nick Wagoner of ESPN reports.

McCaffrey already has one capped session (Thursday) under his belt this week and again appears set to be listed as at least limited Friday, at which point the 49ers may tag him with a designation for Sunday's game versus the Raiders.

Jets head coach Aaron Glenn said Friday that Wallace (Groin) will not play in Sunday's matchup against the Chiefs.

Wallace did not practice on back-to-back days after beginning the week as a limited participant due to a groin injury. The 23-year-old has appeared in six games for the Browns this season, with all of his snaps coming on special teams except for one rep on defense in Week 5.

Lloyd (knee) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Patriots.

Lloyd was added to the injury report Thursday, which is rarely a good sign for a player's availability Sunday. If Lloyd can't play, Pierre Strong figures to draw in as the pass-catching complement to Josh Jacobs out of the Packers' backfield.

Evans (Achilles) didn't participate in the portion of Friday's practice open to the media, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

With Evans now having been absent from the media-viewing portion of practice again Friday, his status for Sunday's game against the Raiders remains in serious doubt. After a round of likely DNPs, Evans' return may have to wait until Week 10, though the veteran wideout has been known to play despite logging DNPs. It could be another patchwork week at wide receiver for the Niners.

Parsons (knee) officially was ruled out for Sunday's contest in New England.

After the Packers designated Parsons for return from injured reserve Wednesday, he logged three straight limited sessions as he ramps up for his first game action since Dec. 14, 2025 in Denver, when he tore the ACL in his left knee. Parsons himself told Ryan Wood of USA Today that he won't "pinpoint a day" for his return, but his 21-day window conveniently ends on Wednesday, Nov. 25, when the Packers take on the Rams in Los Angeles.

Jets coach Aaron Glenn declined to elaborate on the distribution of carries between Allen and Breece Hall, who will return from a five-game absence for Sunday's matchup with Kansas City, ESPN's Rich Cimini reports.

Allen averaged 18.6 carries for 100.8 yards and 0.4 TDs over the past four games, adding 2.6 catches for 14.0 yards on 3.4 targets while playing at least 78 percent of snaps each week. He won't get that kind of workload with Hall back in the lineup, but it is possible that this turns into a hot-hand situation where Allen still has a chance to take the majority of carries if he outplays his backfield mate. Both Glenn and Hall said earlier this week that Hall is still viewed as the starter.

Williams has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Saints, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

Williams finished the week with back-to-back limited participation in practice heading into Week 9 against the Saints. Williams has recorded 55 total tackles (32 solo), 1.0 sacks and four forced fumbles in eight games this season.

Watson (ribs) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's contest at New England.

Despite being limited on all three of the Packers' Week 9 injury reports due to the broken rib he sustained during last Thursday's win against the Panthers, Watson will be available to Green Bay's offense. It stands to reason he'll wear some sort of protection around his midsection Sunday, but he nonetheless is a plug-and-play option due to his 42-708-6 line on 66 targets through the first eight games of the campaign.

Chiefs head coach Andy Reid said Friday that Delane (shoulder) will not play Sunday against the Jets, Nate Taylor of ESPN.com reports.

Andy Reid added that the rookie Delane is "making progress" but isn't quite ready to make his return, marking the second straight game the 22-year-old will miss. Delane has 27 tackles (17 solo), five pass deflections, and one interception in five games this season.
