Anthony (hamstring) has been downgraded to out for Sunday's matchup versus New England.

Anthony began the season on IR and has yet to play. He was designated to return Wednesday and logged three full practices this week, but he'll remain on injured reserve for the time being. Anthony's next chance to suit up will come Thanksgiving Day versus Baltimore.

Clowney (shoulder/neck) remains listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Eagles but is expected to play, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Clowney's practice reps were limited this week while he managed a pair of injuries, but the veteran pass rusher is tracking toward being available for Sunday's NFC East clash. Through eight games on the season, Clowney has totaled 19 tackles, 2.0 sacks, three pass breakups and one fumble recovery.

Walker (glute), who is questionable for Sunday's matchup against Tennessee, is expected to suit up, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Schefter's report aligns with what Seattle head coach Mike Macdonald previously said Friday, when he intimated that Walker was in line to play Sunday despite dealing with a glute injury. Though Walker is expected to be formally cleared when the Seahawks release their inactive list 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff, it's unclear if the glute issue will result in him ceding more snaps to fellow tailback Zach Charbonnet. As it is, Walker and Charbonnet have been working in a fairly even timeshare for most of the season. During last week's loss to the Rams, Walker tallied 42 offensive snaps to Charbonnet's 36, though Walker was far more productive with 111 yards from scrimmage to Charbonnet's 47.

Worthy, who is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Colts due to an ankle injury, is expected to play, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Worthy first suffered an ankle injury in practice Nov. 13, and he tweaked the ankle a few days later in a loss to Denver. The second-year wideout sat out the Chiefs' first Week 12 practice before advancing to limited work Thursday and then full activity Friday. Worthy looks like he'll be able to suit up in a big AFC battle against Indianapolis, and he should again operate as Kansas City's No. 2 wideout behind Rashee Rice.

Irving (shoulder/foot), who has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Rams, is expected to return to action Week 13 versus Arizona, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Schefter notes that Irving "looked strong" in practice this week and may have been able to play Sunday, but the Buccaneers ultimately elected to hold him out. Assuming Irving continues to make positive progress in practice during the upcoming week, he should be on track to return to action against the Cardinals and bring an end to an absence that will have spanned seven games. Irving had been Tampa Bay's clear lead back before getting hurt, and he totaled 165 yards from scrimmage (102 receiving, 63 rushing) in the final game prior to his absence. Rachaad White and Sean Tucker have been serviceable in Irving's absence, but Irving should eventually regain the lead-back role once he's closer to 100 percent. However, he could be eased in a bit in his first game back.

Rodgers (wrist), who is officially questionable for Sunday's matchup against Chicago, "has been pushing to play," but Steelers doctors have been "cautious and guarded" about clearing the veteran quarterback, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Schefter notes that if Rodgers is left to decide his status, he'll play, but adds that Pittsburgh hasn't given any hints about the outcome of the decision. Rodgers is dealing with a minor fracture to his left (non-throwing) wrist that isn't expected to require surgery, and he has suggested that the determination about his ability to suit up Sunday hinges on whether the issue will inhibit him from protecting himself. Fantasy managers may not know Rodgers' playing status until the Steelers release their inactive list 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff, and at this point, his likelihood of playing seems to be about 50/50. Mason Rudolph would draw the start in Chicago if Rodgers is unable to play through the injury.

Kamara (ankle), who is officially questionable for Sunday's game against Atlanta, is expected to play, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Kamara has been dealing with a lingering ankle issue since early October, but the issue hasn't yet cost him any time. Following New Orleans' Week 11 bye, Kamara logged a trio of limited practices this week and again seems likely to play Sunday. He should continue to lead the Saints backfield, with rookie Devin Neal serving as the team's No. 2 running back.

Stevenson, who is officially questionable for Sunday's matchup against Cincinnati due to a toe injury, is expected to suit up, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

The toe issue caused Stevenson to miss each of New England's past three games. During that time, rookie running back TreVeyon Henderson moved into the No. 1 role and scored five touchdowns (four rushing, one receiving) while averaging 88.0 rushing yards and 22.0 receiving yards per contest. With that in mind, Stevenson -- who logged offensive snap shares north of 70 percent in each of the three games prior to his absence -- may be part of a more even timeshare out of the backfield if he's cleared to play ahead of Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff.

Godwin (fibula), who is officially questionable to play in Sunday's game against the Rams, is expected to suit up but will "likely be on something of a pitch count," Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

Assuming the Buccaneers officially clear Godwin when they release their inactive list 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff, the wideout will be in line for his first game action since Week 5 after missing five consecutive games due to a hairline fracture of his fibula. His return will provide a boost to Tampa Bay's receiving corps, which will still be without Mike Evans (collarbone) and Jalen McMillan (neck). Even so, fantasy managers should take note of Godwin likely being on a snap count Sunday, with the potential limitations coupled with a tough matchup versus the Rams perhaps suppressing his production. Godwin -- who also missed the first three games of the campaign while recovering from left ankle surgery -- tallied six catches for 52 yards on 14 targets over two games prior to sitting out due to the fractured fibula.

The Jets waived Weston on Saturday, Susanna Weir of the team's official site reports.

The move corresponds with the Jets activating Marcelino McCrary-Ball (hamstring) from injured reserve. Weston served solely on special teams across three regular-season games and posted two tackles over that span. If he clears waivers, Weston could remain with the Jets as a member of the team's practice squad.
