Thomas is in line to miss Sunday's game against the Texans due to his low-grade high ankle sprain, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Thomas didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday and now is trending toward being ruled out once the Jaguars post their final Week 10 injury report later Friday. In Thomas' looming absence, newcomer Jakobi Meyers, Parker Washington, Dyami Brown (provided he clears concussion protocol) and Tim Patrick are slated to lead the Jaguars' WR corps this weekend.

Hampton (ankle) is working off to the side at Friday's practice, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.

Hampton won't be listed as a participant in practice, but his ability to work in any capacity is an encouraging step in the right direction as the rookie running back recovers from an ankle injury that landed him on injured reserve. Hampton has already spent the requisite four weeks on IR, but coach Jim Harbaugh said earlier in the week that Hampton isn't expected to return until after the Chargers' Week 12 bye.

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

The rookie wideout from Notre Dame logged three consecutive DNPs during the Giants' week of practice, so it's no surprise that he won't suit up Sunday. Collins has contributed on offense and special teams across nine appearances this season, catching two of six targets for 25 yards over 194 total snaps (110 on special teams, 84 on offense). While he's sidelined Week 10, expect Gunner Olszewski and Jalin Hyatt to have expanded roles in the Giants' receiving corps.

Jones (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Ravens.

Jones suffered an AC joint sprain during the third quarter of Sunday's 27-24 win over the Lions. He missed the rest of the game and didn't practice Wednesday, before returning Thursday as a limited participant. Jones appears truly questionable heading into the weekend, with Jordan Mason and Zavier Scott in line for larger roles if Jones ends up on the inactive list before a 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff.

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

Bertrand logged a full practice Friday and appears good to go for Sunday's contest. During last Sunday's 24-23 loss to the Patriots, Bertrand played 30 defensive snaps and logged five total tackles (four solo).

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

Despite logging three consecutive DNPs during the Colts' week of practice, Gould has a chance to suit up Sunday in Berlin. The second-year pro from Oregon State has primarily contributed on special teams this season, catching his lone target for three yards while recording 573 total return yards in eight appearances. If he's sidelined again in Week 10, Ashton Dulin and Josh Downs will likely operate as the Colts' top kick and punt returners, respectively.

With Kayshon Boutte out with a hamstring injury, Williams is in line to see added snaps Sunday against the Buccaneers, Mike Reiss of ESPN reports.

With Boutte having exited the Patriots' Week 9 win over the Falcons after logging just 18 snaps, Williams ended up recording a season-high 31 snaps. Look for that trend to continue this weekend, but the 2025 third-rounder still profiles as a speculative Week 10 fantasy lineup option given that Stefon Diggs, DeMario Douglas and Mack Hollins also are in the team's WR mix.

Bresee (back) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Panthers, Matthew Paras of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

The 2023 first-round pick from Clemson popped up on the Saints' injury report Thursday as a limited practice participant due to a back issue, putting his availability for Week 10 in jeopardy. Bresee has had an impressive start to New Orleans' 2025 campaign, recording 21 total tackles, including 1.5 sacks, and three passes defended over nine appearances. If he's unable to play Sunday, Nathan Shepherd is likely to start on the Saints' defensive line.

Jennings is expected to see added snaps Sunday against the Buccaneers, as Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports that Rhamondre Stevenson (toe) won't play.

Jennings played a complementary role alongside TreVeyon Henderson in Stevenson's absence against the Falcons in Week 9, turning 12 touches into 44 yards from scrimmage, including a three-yard touchdown run. Per Reiss, Stevenson remaining out paves the way for Henderson to make his second straight start Sunday, but Jennings is poised to maintain his expanded role, while fellow RB D'Ernest Johnson likely will be elevated from the practice squad once again to provide backfield depth this weekend.

Bates (knee) does not have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Colts

Bates was able to log a full practice Friday on the way to being cleared of an injury designation. He suffered a knee injury in Week 8 against Miami but was able to play all defensive snaps against the Patriots this past Sunday. The starting safety logged two total tackles along with an interception and a pass defensed in the 24-23 loss and will be healthy enough to play in the Falcons' Berlin showdown with the Colts on Sunday.
