Thomas (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Chargers.

Thomas' questionable designation comes on the heels of three consecutive limited practices. If he returns from a one-game absence Sunday, Thomas would likely jump right back into a leading role in a Jacksonville receiving corps that also features Jakobi Meyers, Parker Washington and Dyami Brown.

Greenard (shoulder) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Bears, Dane Mizutani of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

The 28-year-old sustained a shoulder injury in the Vikings' Week 10 loss to the Ravens and is now in line to miss his first game of the season Sunday. Greenard is an integral part of Minnesota's defense, recording 31 total tackles, including 2.0 sacks, and three passes defended over nine appearances this season. While he's sidelined in Week 11, expect 2024 first-round pick Dallas Turner to start at outside linebacker.

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

The South Carolina product was designated to return from the injured reserve list Tuesday, and following a week of full practice sessions, he's got a chance to play Sunday. However, Sanders must still be activated to the Bills' active roster in order to suit up in Week 11. If active, he'll likely operate as one of Buffalo's top interior defensive linemen.

Pacheco (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Broncos.

With Pacheco, who last saw game action Week 8, still sidelined, Kareem Hunt is poised to continue to lead the Chiefs backfield this weekend, while Brashard Smith, Elijah Mitchell and potential practice-squad elevation Clyde Edwards-Helaire available to mix in. Pacheco's next chance to see game action will occur Sunday, Nov. 23 against the Colts. While filling in for Pacheco in a Week 9 loss to the Bills (prior to Kansas City's bye), Hunt carried 11 times for 49 yards and a touchdown while catching one of two targets for six yards. In that contest, Smith logged three carries for seven yards, and Edwards-Helaire rushed twice for five yards.

Johnson (groin) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Buccaneers.

Johnson downgraded from a full practice session Thursday to a limited session Friday, suggesting he's trending in the wrong direction ahead of Sunday's matchup. The veteran slot cornerback has missed the past two games with a persisting groin injury. If he is unable to suit up Sunday, Cam Lewis (calf) and Ja'Marcus Ingram will likely once again share snaps in the slot cornerback role against the Buccaneers.

Hunt is poised to lead Kansas City's backfield Sunday against the Broncos, as Isiah Pacheco (knee) has been ruled out.

Pacheco will miss a second consecutive game sandwiched around Kansas City's Week 10 bye. In Pacheco's absence, Hunt recorded 55 yards from scrimmage and a touchdown on 12 touches Week 9 against the Bills. Brashard Smith will be available in a change-of-pace role but recorded only three carries in Buffalo.

Nubin (neck) is listed as doubtful ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Packers.

The second-year pro from Minnesota likely sustained a neck injury in the Giants' Week 10 loss to the Bears. He didn't practice all week and is now expected to miss Sunday's contest. Nubin has appeared in all 10 of the Giants' games this season, recording 58 total tackles and one pass defended. If he's sidelined in Week 11 as expected, Dane Belton will likely have an expanded role in New York's secondary.

Worthy (ankle) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Broncos.

Worthy tweaked his ankle at practice Thursday but practiced without limitations Friday, earning the green light for Sunday's showdown between AFC West rivals. Worthy has taken a back seat to Rashee Rice in Kansas City's receiving corps and will be facing a stingy Broncos secondary, but at least the speedster doesn't appear to have any physical limitations.

Okereke (shoulder) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Packers.

Okereke upgraded from DNPs on Wednesday and Thursday to a limited session Friday, giving himself a chance to suit up for the Week 11 contest. The veteran linebacker is an integral part of the Giants' defense, recording 88 total tackles (eighth-most in the NFL), including 1.0 sacks, and two passes defended across 10 games this season. If he's unable to play Sunday, Neville Hewitt could have an expanded role on New York's defense.

Thompson (hamstring) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Buccaneers.

Thompson fully participated in practice both Thursday and Friday, a positive sign for the weakside linebacker's chances to suit up for Sunday's game. Prior to injuring his hamstring, the veteran played in five games for the Bills, logging 27 tackles (18 solo), including 1.0 sacks, and two defensed passes. If available for Sunday, Thompson will likely share rotational linebacker duties with other Bills defenders such as Matt Milano and Dorian Williams (groin).
