Kmet (concussion) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Giants.

Fantasy interest in Kmet himself is perhaps at an all-time low, but his return could have an impact in the form of fewer snaps and routes for rookie Colston Loveland, who put up 118 yards and two TDs at Cincinnati last week. The Bears face another vulnerable defense this Sunday, so Loveland should still have some opportunities even if he cedes some playing time to Kmet.

Moore (hip/groin) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Giants.

Moore hasn't been practicing on Wednesdays but typically makes it back to full participation by the end of the week. That was the case this time around, setting him up for his usual role against a struggling Big Blue defense.

Head coach Brian Daboll told reporters Friday that McFadden (foot) is not ready to return from the injured reserve list, Patricia Traina of SI.com reports.

The 25-year-old was placed on IR and underwent foot surgery after sustaining an injury in the Giants' Week 1 loss to the Commanders. While he remains sidelined, Darius Muasau (ankle) and Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles are expected to have expanded roles on New York's defense.

Odunze (ankle/heel) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Giants.

Odunze played through the same heel injury last week and somehow finished without a catch in a 47-42 victory over the Bengals. He's also listed with an ankle injury this week, but he was a full practice participant Friday and thus figures to handle his usual workload in terms of snaps/routes.

Pittman (glute) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game against the Falcons in Berlin.

A glute injury sidelined Pittman at Wednesday's session, but he was a full participant Thursday and then listed as full on Friday's estimated practice report, paving the way for him to continue serving as the Colts' No. 1 wide receiver. He'll look to take advantage of an Atlanta defense that has conceded the 16th-most YPT (7.8) in the NFL to opposing WRs this season.

Elliss (hip) won't play Sunday against the Buccaneers, head coach Mike Vrabel announced Friday, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

Elliss will be sidelined after exiting New England's Week 9 win over the Falcons. His next chance to suit up will come Thursday against the Jets, so Elliss won't have much additional time to recover. Jack Gibbens could move into a starting role in Elliss's absence.

Swift (groin/personal) didn't practice Friday and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Giants.

Swift returned to practice Wednesday as a limited participant before upgrading to full participation Thursday. He then missed practice Friday, with 'personal' added to the injury report (he was previously just listed with the same groin injury that held him out last week). Bears coach Ben Johnson sounded like he expected Swift to play this week, telling reporters earlier Friday that he planned to rely on the "hot hand" between Swift and Kyle Monangai. Johnson didn't say anything about Swift missing practice or potentially missing the upcoming game.

Head coach Ben Johnson told reporters Friday that Edwards had surgery on a broken hand and is still dealing with a hamstring injury, Kevin Fishbain of The Athletic reports.

Johnson added that Edwards will wear a cast on his broken hand but likely isn't a candidate to be placed on the injured reserve list. The Wisconsin product has appeared in just five contests this season, recording 31 total tackles and three passes defended. He's likely a longshot to play in the Week 10 matchup against the Giants, and Amen Ogbongbemiga could have an expanded role in the Bears' linebacker corps if Edwards is sidelined Sunday.

Cook (ankle) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game at Miami.

After Cook sat out Wednesday's practice due to a foot injury, coach Sean McDermott told Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com that the running back's health concern emerged during this past Sunday's win against the Chiefs and that he'd been sore in the meantime. Cook followed up Wednesday's DNP with a limited session Thursday and a full practice Friday, thereby clearing him for Week 10 action. He'll be facing a Dolphins defense Sunday against whom he went for 118 yards from scrimmage and one rushing TD on 22 touches back in Week 3.

Lewis (groin) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Falcons.

Lewis was unable to practice all week and is now in line to miss his second game in a row due to a groin issue. The 30-year-old has been one of the Colts' best pass rushers this season, recording 3.0 sacks through seven appearances. While he's out Week 10, expect rookie JT Tuimoloau to have an expanded role for Indianapolis' defense.
