Alvin Kamara RB | NO
Saints' Alvin Kamara: Ready for Sunday
Kamara (rest/back) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game versus the Browns.
Kamara went from DNP due to rest/back Wednesday to limited Thursday and finally full Friday, paving the way for him to be available to the Saints backfield. With fellow RB CJ Donaldson (shoulder/concussion) sidelined this weekend, it'll be Kamara and Kendre Miller to handle the load Sunday.

Adonai Mitchell WR | NYJ
Jets' Adonai Mitchell: Another huge opportunity?
Mitchell and Omar Cooper will be the Jets' top wide receivers with Garrett Wilson (concussion) unavailable for Sunday's game at Kansas City, ESPN's Rich Cimini reports.
Mitchell is coming off the best performance of his career -- a 7-141-1 receiving line on 26 routes (nine targets) in last week's 38-33 loss to Las Vegas. Cooper also ran 26 routes but finished without a target, despite topping 100 yards in back-to-back games beforehand. Both wide receivers now have a big opportunity with Wilson out of the lineup against a Kansas City defense that's missing cornerbacks Mansoor Delane (shoulder) and L'Jarius Sneed (IR - knee).

Jake Ferguson TE | DAL
Cowboys' Jake Ferguson: Listed as questionable for Sunday
Ferguson (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Colts, Tommy Yarrish of the Cowboys' official site reports.
Ferguson returned to practice Friday as a limited participant, after making an early exit Week 8 and missing practice earlier this week. Dallas has downplayed the severity of Ferguson's injury, but he looks no better than 50/50 ahead of a 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff Sunday at Indianapolis. Brevyn Spann-Ford filled in after Ferguson's first-quarter exit last week, playing 88 percent of snaps on offense and catching four of five targets for 31 yards.

Kamren Curl SAF | LAR
Rams' Kam Curl: Questionable for Week 9
Curl (foot) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Commanders, Nate Atkins of The Athletic reports.
Curl did not participate in practice Wednesday or Thursday due to a foot injury likely suffered at some point in the Rams' Week 9 win over the Chargers. With cornerbacks Trent McDuffie (back) questionable and Jaylen Watson (shoulder) ruled out, Los Angeles' secondary could be short on a few key pieces.
-
George Pickens WR | DAL
Cowboys' George Pickens: Questionable for Week 9
Pickens (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at Indianapolis, Tommy Yarrish of the Cowboys' official site reports.
Pickens' practice reps were capped all week due to a lingering hamstring injury. Head coach Brian Schottenheimer told Yarrish on Friday that he's "hopeful" Pickens will be able to suit up this weekend, and Dallas will confirm as much about 90 minutes before Sunday's 1:00 p.m. Et kickoff.

Kyle Monangai RB | CHI
Bears' Kyle Monangai: Questionable for Sunday
Monangai (thumb/toe) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers.
Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune reported Monangai took part in drills Friday for the first time since suffering a turf toe injury against the Jets on Oct. 4, and the activity was enough to give him a chance to return to action this weekend. The Bears play on Sunday Night Football in Week 9, so there won't be many options to pivot to if Monangai ends up missing a fifth consecutive contest. Even if he's able to suit up, it stands to reason he likely won't handle his normal workload (16.3 touches per game this season), especially with fellow RB D'Andre Swift running on all cylinders at the moment.
-
Trent McDuffie CB | LAR
Rams' Trent McDuffie: Questionable for Week 9
McDuffie (back) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Commanders, Nate Atkins of The Athletic reports.
Trent McDuffie was not seen at practice Friday, per Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com, marking him as a DNP for three straight practices ahead of Week 9. The 26-year-old tweaked his back in Week 8, in his first game back from a groin injury that kept him out for two weeks. With Jaylen Watson (shoulder) already ruled out for Sunday, the Rams could be short in the secondary against the Commanders.

Denzel Boston WR | CLE
Browns' Denzel Boston: Cleared for Sunday
Boston (calf) was a full participant in Friday's practice and doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game at New Orleans, Chris Easterling of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.
With Boston upgrading from limited sessions Wednesday and Thursday to full participation Friday, he should be fine for his usual role as a near-every-down player in a young Cleveland offense. It'll be his first chance to work with Shedeur Sanders extensively outside of a practice environment, as the Browns reportedly won't start Deshaun Watson (head) even if he clears concussion protocol before the game.
-
DJ Moore WR | BUF
Bills' DJ Moore: Wears non-contact jersey Friday
Moore (shoulder) was still wearing a non-contact jersey at Friday's practice, Sal Capaccio of WGR Sports Radio 550 Buffalo reports.
Moore will likely be managing his shoulder injury for much of the remainder of the season, as he's dealing with an AC sprain that can pop out of place with contact. Moore should be fine for Monday night's game against the Vikings after returning to the lineup last Sunday against Baltimore.
-
Dalton Kincaid TE | BUF
Bills' Dalton Kincaid: Ditches non-contact jersey
Kincaid (chest) is no longer in a red non-contact jersey at Friday's practice, Sal Capaccio of WGR Sports Radio 550 Buffalo reports.
With Kincaid having been listed as a limited participant Thursday while dealing with a chest injury, shedding the non-contact jersey Friday is a positive sign for his practice progression and should put the tight end in the clear for Monday night's date with a tough Vikings defense.
