Hill (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Falcons after not practicing this week, Travis Wingfield of the Dolphins' official site reports.

With Darren Waller (pectoral) having been placed on IR on Wednesday and Hill now ruled out, Tanner Conner and Greg Dulcich are in line to lead Miami's TE corps this weekend, with both players profiling as speculative fantasy lineup options Week 8. Hill's next chance to play will occur Thursday night against the Ravens.

Waddle (hamstring/rest) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Falcons, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Waddle was limited at practice Thursday, but that seemed to be maintenance-related given that he returned to full participation Friday. He'll continue to work as the top option in Miami's passing game Week 8 versus Atlanta, which should earn Waddle significant attention from top Falcons cornerback A.J. Terrell.

Brown (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Giants.

Reports earlier this week suggested Brown's hamstring injury wasn't serious, but he never ended up practicing and now will miss the final game before a Week 9 bye. Jahan Dotson and John Metchie figure to take on the vacated snaps at wide receiver, with DeVonta Smith and Dallas Goedert getting sizable boosts in target-share projection.

Diggs (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Broncos, Patrik Walker of the Cowboys' official site reports.

Diggs didn't practice at all this week and will miss his second straight contest. Kaiir Elam and Trikweze Bridges saw increased snaps on defense alongside DaRon Bland at cornerback last Sunday against Washington.

Frazier (calf) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Packers, Mike DeFabo of The Athletic reports.

The second-year pro from West Virginia upgraded from a DNP on Thursday to a limited practice Friday, suggesting he's trending towards playing in the Week 8 affair. However, if Frazier is sidelined due to a calf injury, Ryan McCollum is expected to step in and start at center.

Head coach Aaron Glenn declined to declare a starter Friday between Fields or Tyrod Taylor (knee) for Sunday's game against the Bengals, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Glenn has made a decision but refuses to publicly announce it, so a starter for Sunday's game may not be revealed until shortly prior to the 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff in Cincinnati. Fields, who was benched for Taylor at halftime of the Jets' Week 7 loss to the Panthers, could get the job by default if Taylor's knee injury keeps the veteran sidelined against the Bengals. Taylor's listed as questionable.

Miller (finger) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Packers, Mike DeFabo of The Athletic reports.

The Bowling Green product downgraded from a limited practice session Thursday to a DNP on Friday, so it's no surprise that he'll be unavailable Sunday night. Miller has played 69 offensive snaps through six games this season, catching one of two targets for nine yards. While he's sidelined in Week 8, Ben Skowronek could get more opportunities as a receiver.

Woods (ankle) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Colts, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

The veteran safety practiced in a limited fashion throughout the week after likely sustaining an ankle injury in Tennessee's Week 7 loss to the Patriots. Woods has started all seven games for the Titans this season, recording 30 total tackles, including 1.0 sacks, and two passes defended, with one interception. If he's forced to miss his first game of the season in Week 8, Quandre Diggs will likely start at free safety.

Key (quadriceps) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Colts, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Key downgraded from a limited practice session Thursday to a DNP on Friday, suggesting he's trending in the wrong direction ahead of Sunday's contest. The LSU product has appeared in four games for the Titans this season, recording six total tackles, including 1.5 sacks. If he's forced to miss his third consecutive game in Week 8, expect Jihad Ward to start opposite Dre'Mont Jones in Tennessee's outside-linebacker corps.

Edmunds (ankle) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Ravens.

Edmunds popped up on the Bears' injury report Thursday as a limited practice participant due to an ankle issue, but Friday's full session suggests he's moved past the injury. The veteran linebacker has tallied 61 total tackles and four passes defended, including three interceptions, through Chicago's first six games this season. Now fully healthy, he's expected to start alongside T.J. Edwards in the Week 8 contest.
