Collins (hip) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, Will McFadden of the Falcons' official site reports.

Collins has strung together five consecutive full practices since being designated to return from injured reserve Oct. 22. His ability to practice in full indicates that he's past his lingering hip injury, although he would have to be activated from IR by Saturday in order to be available for Sunday's NFC South tilt. Collins' return would bolster the Falcons' depth at wide receiver and give the team an additional contributor on special teams.

Pickens (shoulder/hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Patrik Walker of the Cowboys' official site reports.

Pickens was listed as limited on all three of the Cowboys' Week 8 practice reports due to a lingering shoulder injury and a new hamstring issue, leaving his status up in the air heading into the weekend. His availability, or lack thereof, will be clarified about 90 minutes before Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff.

Deablo (forearm) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, Will McFadden of the Falcons' official site reports.

Deablo ended Week 8 prep with back-to-back limited practices, and he has a chance to return from a one-game absence due to a forearm injury. If he's not cleared to play Sunday, then Harold Perkins would likely start alongside Kendal Daniels at inside linebacker.

Love (ankle) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game at Dallas, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

Head coach Mike LaFleur told Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site Friday that Love was expected to play in Week 8, and the running back's lack of designation confirms as much. After opening the week with back-to-back limited listings, Love capped it with a full session Friday, indicating that he's ready for close to a normal workload Sunday after a two-game absence. Speaking of the time off, Love relayed to Urban that "two weeks for anybody will get people feeling how they want to feel." As a result, Love will rejoin a backfield that previously was a near-even split between Tyler Allgeier (toe) and Bam Knight the last two weeks.

Zaccheaus (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, Will McFadden of the Falcons' official site reports.

Zaccheaus was limited in practice all week due to a shoulder injury, which prevented him from playing against the 49ers in Week 7. His status may not be officially known until approximately 90 minutes before the 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff, when the Falcons announce their list of inactive players. Zachariah Branch would continue to operate in an elevated role both offensively and on special teams as a returner if Zaccheaus is held out for a second consecutive week.

Kinlaw (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Eagles.

Kinlaw injured his knee in Week 6 against the 49ers, and even with the Week 7 bye, the veteran defensive end was not expected to be cleared to play in Sunday's NFC East tilt. Charles Omenihu, Deatrich Wise and Shy Tuttle are all in line for more defensive snaps in the absence of Kinlaw, whose next opportunity to play is Week 9 against the Rams on Sunday, Nov. 8.

Bates (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Eagles.

Bates missed each of the first two practices of Week 8 prep while tending to a shoulder injury, but he was on the field with a non-contact jersey Friday as a limited participant, per Ben Standig of The Team 980 Washington D.C.. Colson Yankoff and Ben Sinnott would both be in line for more offensive snaps if Bates is not cleared to play in Sunday's NFC East tilt.

Harvey (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Chiefs, Chris Tomasson of the Denver Gazette reports.

After logging a limited practice Thursday, Harvey will now miss Sunday's divisional clash with the rival Chiefs. Jonah Coleman and J.K. Dobbins should handle most of the backfield work for the Broncos, but Tyler Badie could see some pass-game action.

McConkey (concussion) is off the injury report and will play in Sunday's game against the Rams, Noah Furtado of The Athletic reports.

After entering the week in concussion protocol, McConkey progressed to full practices Wednesday and Thursday before shedding his injury designation Friday. The Chargers will also get Tre' Harris (hamstring) back in action after a Week 6 absence and Week 7 bye.

Henderson (illness) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Dolphins.

Henderson logged DNPs on Thursday and Friday and appears to be in danger of missing Sunday's juicy matchup with Miami. His role has been shrinking of late anyway, and if Henderson misses this week's game, Rhamondre Stevenson and Corey Kiner will handle the backfield work for New England.
