Fidone (foot) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Bears, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

The rookie tight end from Nebraska upgraded from limited practice participation Thursday to a full-go Friday, suggesting he's moved past his foot injury in time to play Sunday. Now back at full health, expect Fidone to contribute primarily on special teams in Week 10.

Phillips (calf) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Bears, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

The second-year corner from Kentucky practiced in a limited fashion throughout the week due to a calf injury, but it now appears he's ready to face the Bears on Sunday. Phillips has played in all nine of the Giants' games so far this season, recording 40 total tackles and nine passes defended, including two interceptions. Now fully healthy, he's expected to operate as one of New York's top cornerbacks in Week 10.

Coach Ben Johnson said Friday that he believes "in a guy having the hot hand," which may sway the RB pecking order between Monangai (ankle) and typical No. 1 option D'Andre Swift (groin/personal) on Sunday against the Giants, Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com reports. "One guy, if he's feeling it and giving us a spark, we might lean on that a little bit longer," Johnson added.

With Swift absent this past Sunday at Cincinnati, Monangai took full advantage of the opportunity, reeling off 198 yards from scrimmage on 29 touches. That would indicate Monangai has the so-called "hot hand" at the moment, and while both he and Swift followed up limited sessions Wednesday with full listings one day later, Swift didn't practice Friday due to a personal concern and is listed as questionable for Week 10 action. The Bears have a 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff Sunday, meaning Swift's status will become known about 90 minutes prior to that. In any case, Monangai is slated to be a part of Chicago's backfield this weekend, but how large his workload may be remains to be seen.

Bernard (ankle) doesn't carry an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Dolphins.

Bernard logged full practices both Thursday and Friday. The starting middle linebacker appears back to full health in anticipation of Sunday's divisional matchup. The captain logged six total tackles (four solo) during the Bills' win over the Chiefs. Bernard will look to log another strong performance against the Dolphins after helping to seal the Bills' Week 3 victory against the divisional rival with an interception.

Holland (knee) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Bears, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Holland was sidelined for the Giants' last two games due to a knee injury, but following a week of limited practice sessions, he's got a chance to return Sunday. The first-year Giant has appeared in seven games this season, recording 28 total tackles and three passes defended. If he's held out for the third consecutive game in Week 10, Dane Belton is expected to start at free safety.

Adebo (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Bears, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

The 26-year-old didn't practice all week and is now in line to miss his third consecutive game due to a sprained MCL. While Adebo remains sidelined in Week 10, expect Jarrick Bernard-Converse and Korie Black to play expanded roles in the Giants' secondary.

Gordon (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Bills, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Gordon logged a trio of limited practices during the week. If the backup running back doesn't get the green light to play Sunday, Jaylen Wright would assume change-of-pace duties behind De'Von Achane.

Muasau (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Bears, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

The second-year linebacker from UCLA sustained an ankle injury in the Week 9 loss to the 49ers and was unable to practice all week. He's been an important part of the Giants' defense this season, recording 32 total tackles, including 1.0 sacks, over eight appearances. With both Muasau and Micah McFadden (ankle, IR) sidelined in Week 10, Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles will likely play increased snaps with New York's first-team defense.

Harrison (knee) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Colts.

Harrison was able to log a full practice Friday, and his lack of an injury designation signals he is ready to go for Sunday's contest in Berlin. Harrison missed the past two games due to a knee injury, but he looks to be ready to rush the passer Sunday. The defensive end's Week 7 appearance against the 49ers led to four total tackles, including 1.0 sacks. His return to this Falcons defense will bolster an already strong pass rush for a tough matchup against a high AFC seed.

Hill (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Bills, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

With Darren Waller (pectoral) on injured reserve and Tanner Conner having been released Thursday, the Dolphins are down to just Hill and Greg Dulcich at tight end. Dulcich had five catches for 49 yards in Miami's Week 9 loss to the Ravens while Hill sat out, so it's unclear which player would work as the primary pass catcher at the position if Hill's available.
