Britain Covey WR | PHI
Eagles' Britain Covey: Could return in Week 12
Covey (shoulder) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Rams.
Covey has missed the Eagles' last seven games due to a shoulder injury sustained the Week 3 win over the Saints. The Utah product practiced in full all week and appears to be trending toward playing in Sunday's contest, but he must still be activated to Philadelphia's active roster in order to suit up. If Covey can play in Week 12, he'll likely assume the Eagles' top punt-returner duties and serve as a depth piece in their wide receiver room.

Milton Williams DT | PHI
Eagles' Milton Williams: Past foot injury
Williams (foot) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Rams.
Williams was unable to practice Wednesday after sustaining a foot injury in the Eagles' Week 11 win over the Commanders. However, he upgraded to full participation in Friday's practice, appearing to have now moved past the issue. The Louisiana Tech product has recorded 13 total tackles across Philadelphia's first 10 games this season, and he's expected to serve as one of the team's top defensive ends in Week 12.

Ladd McConkey WR | LAC
Chargers' Ladd McConkey: Logs limited practice Friday
McConkey (shoulder) was limited at practice Friday.
McConkey was deemed a non-participant on Thursday's practice estimate, but the wideout's ability to work in Friday's session, albeit with a cap on his reps, bodes well for his chances of being available Monday night against the Ravens. In any case, Saturday's final injury report will relay whether McConkey approaches Week 12 action with an injury designation or fully cleared to face Baltimore.

Noah Igbinoghene CB | WAS
Commanders' Noah Igbinoghene: Ready for Sunday
Igbinoghene (thumb) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Cowboys, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.
Igbinoghene practiced in full Friday after beginning the Commanders' week of practice with back-to-back limited sessions, suggesting that he's moved past his thumb injury in time for Sunday's divisional matchup. Now that the 2020 first-round pick has returned to full health, he's expected to serve as one of Washington's top rotational cornerbacks in Week 12.

Hunter Luepke RB | DAL
Cowboys' Hunter Luepke: Past calf issue
Luepke (calf) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Commanders, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
Luepke appeared to be in jeopardy of the missing the Week 12 divisional matchup after opening the Cowboys' week of practice with an estimated DNP. However, he practiced in a limited capacity Thursday before logging a full session Friday, indicating that he's recovered from his calf injury. Expect the second-year pro from North Dakota State to serve as Dallas' top fullback Sunday.

Jourdan Lewis CB | DAL
Cowboys' Jourdan Lewis: Ready to rock
Lewis (neck) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Commanders, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
Lewis opened the Cowboys' week of practice with consecutive limited sessions due to a neck injury, but he upgraded to full participation Friday, suggesting that he's moved past the issue in time for Sunday's divisional matchup. With Lewis back at full health, he's expected to serve as Dallas' top slot corner in Week 12.

Jaire Alexander CB | GB
Packers' Jaire Alexander: Sitting out in Week 12
Alexander (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the 49ers, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.
Alexander initially injured his knee near the end of the Packers' Week 8 win in Jacksonville. After sitting out Week 9 against the Lions, he was cleared to return following the team's Week 10 bye, but he lasted just 10 snaps on defense before exiting early from this past Sunday's contest at Chicago. Alexander revealed Thursday that he's tending to a "tear on my PCL" that may result in more missed games, per Matt Schneidman of The Athletic. Coach Matt LaFleur said Friday that Alexander isn't a candidate for injured reserve, though, meaning he currently isn't expected to be sidelined for three more outings beyond Week 12.

Trevon Diggs CB | DAL
Cowboys' Trevon Diggs: Questionable for Week 12
Diggs (groin/knee) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Commanders, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
Diggs popped up on the Cowboys' injury report Thursday with groin and knee issues, logging two consecutive limited sessions to end Dallas' week of practice. If he's able to suit up in Week 12, he'll start opposite DaRon Bland for the first time in 2024. However, if Diggs is sidelined Sunday for the first time this season, Caelen Carson will likely start in his place opposite Bland.

Josh Jacobs RB | GB
Packers' Josh Jacobs: Cleared to play
Jacobs (quadriceps) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the 49ers.
Listed with lower-body injuries more often than not, Jacobs has yet to miss a game this season, averaging 17.6 carries for 83.8 yards and 2.3 catches for 18.6 yards. A total of five TDs in 10 games is somewhat disappointing relative to his yardage, but he's scored all five of those within the past six contests after failing to hit pay dirt over the first month of the season. The upcoming matchup looks more favorable than a date with the 49ers typically would be, as the Packers are considerable favorites against a team that's missing a bunch of key players, including QB Brock Purdy (shoulder) and DE Nick Bosa (hip).

Luke Schoonmaker TE | DAL
Cowboys' Luke Schoonmaker: Poised for bigger role Sunday
Schoonmaker will stand to take on a bigger role than normal Sunday at Washington with Jake Ferguson (concussion) ruled out for the contest, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.
Ferguson lasted seven offensive snaps during Monday's game against the Texans before departing with a concussion. The development freed up more work for other Cowboys tight ends, as Schoonmaker led the position in snap share (53 percent) and targets (10), while Brevyn Spann-Ford earned 49 and five, respectively. Such a breakdown implies Schoonmaker will share the load rather than take on Ferguson's outsized role (typically, at least 75 percent of snaps in five of his previous six healthy appearances). Still, Schoonmaker's 10 targets translated to six catches for 56 yards Week 11, so he should be plenty busy behind No. 1 WR CeeDee Lamb.
