  • Commanders' Austin Seibert: Questionable, but 'trending' toward return

    Seibert (right hip) is listed as questionable for Sunday's contest against the Cowboys, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.

    Seibert has missed back-to-back games due to a right hip injury, but after opening Week 12 prep with a pair of limited practices, he got back to full participation Friday, indicating a return to action is on the horizon. Coach Dan Quinn intimated as much Friday, telling Ben Standig of The Athletic that Seibert is "trending" toward resuming kicking duties for the Commanders this weekend. There's a chance the team still elevates Zane Gonzalez from the practice squad Saturday, but if that doesn't happen, there's little doubt Seibert will be active about 90 minutes before Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff.

  • Lions' Ennis Rakestraw: Won't play Sunday

    Rakestraw (hamstring) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Colts.

    Rakestraw appears to have sustained a hamstring injury in practice this week, as he was a late addition to the Lions' injury report and logged a DNP on Friday. The issue is serious enough that he's already been ruled out for Sunday's matchup, paving the way for Kindle Vildor to see increased work as one of the Lions' top backup corners.

  • Brandin Cooks WR | DAL

    Cowboys' Brandin Cooks: May return Sunday

    Cooks (knee), who remains on injured reserve, is listed as questionable for Sunday's contest at Washington, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

    Cooks required an IR stint, starting Week 5, due to an infection that developed in his right knee following a surgical procedure. Since he was designated to return from injured reserve Tuesday, he sandwiched a pair of limited walkthroughs around Thursday's capped practice. The Cowboys will need to activate Cooks by 4:00 p.m. ET on Saturday in order for him to have a chance to play Sunday. If that comes to pass, he could be eased into the mix behind top WR CeeDee Lamb (back/foot), who followed an LP/DNP/FP practice regimen this week and doesn't have a game designation.

  • Dee Williams CB | SEA

    Seahawks' Dee Williams: Cleared for Week 12

    Williams (ankle) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Cardinals and is expected to play, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.

    Williams was injured in last Sunday's win over the 49ers, but it clearly wasn't a long-term issue. The reserve cornerback has played four defensive snaps this season and another 119 on special teams.

  • Seahawks' Leonard Williams: Cleared to play Sunday

    Williams (foot) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Cardinals and is expected to play, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.

    Williams has been dealing with the foot injury for a couple weeks but should be out there for this NFC West tilt. On the season, Williams has logged 25 tackles (13 solo), including 2.5 sacks, and 14 QB hits.

  • Denico Autry DT | HOU

    Texans' Denico Autry: Questionable for Week 12

    Autry (knee) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Titans.

    Despite logging three consecutive DNPs during the Texans' week of practice, the 34-year-old still has a chance to suit up in Week 12. If Autry misses Sunday's divisional matchup, the impact would be mitigated by the return of Will Anderson. If he is able to play through his knee issue, Autry will likely serve as a rotational defensive end.

  • Brady Russell TE | SEA

    Seahawks' Brady Russell: Out for Week 12

    Russell (foot) is out for Sunday's game against Arizona, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.

    The Seahawks' No. 4 tight end, Russell has played a total of 32 offensive snaps this season, seeing another 193 on special teams. He hasn't been targeted on offense.

  • Ladd McConkey WR | LAC

    Chargers' Ladd McConkey: Spotted at Friday's practice

    McConkey (shoulder) is participating in practice Friday, Kris Rhim of ESPN.com reports.

    McConkey missed practice Thursday due to a shoulder injury. He sustained the injury in the first half of Sunday night's win over the Bengals but returned to the game after a brief trip to the locker room and proceeded to finish with 123 receiving yards. The extent of McConkey's participation level will be clarified later Friday, but he's trending in the right direction ahead of Monday's juicy matchup against a Ravens secondary that has allowed the most receiving yards (2,084) to wide receivers and is tied for the most receiving touchdowns (16) given up to the position.

  • Seahawks' Laviska Shenault: Questionable for Week 12

    Shenault (back) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.

    Shenault has played a total of 43 offensive snaps this season. He's caught all five of his targets for 36 yards and rushed one time for one yard. Shenault mainly plays on special teams for Seattle.

  • Jake Ferguson TE | DAL

    Cowboys' Jake Ferguson: Ruled out for Sunday

    Ferguson (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game at Washington, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

    Ferguson hasn't practiced since entering concussion protocol in the first quarter of Monday's loss to Houston. His absence for most of the night left more opportunities for both Luke Schoonmaker and Brevyn Spann-Ford, with Schoonmaker catching six of 10 targets for 56 yards on 53 percent snap share while Spann-Ford caught four of five targets for 32 yards on 49 percent of snaps. Ferguson's next chance to play will be a Thanksgiving home game against the Giants on Nov. 28.
