Jermaine Johnson II LB | NYJ
Jets' Jermaine Johnson: Good to go Week 14
Johnson (ankle) does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against Miami.
Johnson opened the week as a DNP due to an ankle injury, but he was able to shed an injury tag for Week 14 after logging a full practice Friday. The fourth-year defensive end has accumulated 15 tackles (six solo), including 2.0 sacks, in four games since the Jets' Week 9 bye.

Tony Adams SAF | NYJ
Jets' Tony Adams: Questionable to play vs. Miami
Adams (groin) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Dolphins.
Adams opened the week with back-to-back DNPs due to a groin injury he sustained during the Jets' Week 13 win over the Falcons. He was able to practice in full Friday to earn the questionable tag for Week 14, and his status may not be officially known until the Jets announce their list of inactive players approximately 90 minutes before Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff. Isaiah Oliver would be in line to start at safety alongside Malachi Moore if Adams is not cleared to play.

Bobby Wagner MLB | WAS
Commanders' Bobby Wagner: Questionable after limited session
Wagner (knee) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Vikings, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.
Wagner was able to log a limited practice session Friday after being a non-participant earlier in the week. The upgrade in participation is a good sign for the veteran's chances of suiting up for Sunday's game. If the middle linebacker is unable to go, 24-year-old Jordan Magee is set to have a larger role in the linebacker corps Sunday.

Michael Mayer TE | LV
Raiders' Michael Mayer: Out again in Week 14
Mayer (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's contest against the Broncos.
Mayer hasn't been able to practice since he sustained an ankle injury Week 12 against the Browns, and while he'll be absent for a second consecutive contest Sunday, coach Pete Carroll expressed optimism that the third-year pro will be able to return Week 15 at Philadelphia on Sunday, Dec. 14, according to Ryan McFadden of ESPN.com. With Mayer sidelined again, Ian Thomas and Carter Runyon will take on the TE reps that don't go to top option Brock Bowers.

Lukas Van Ness DE | GB
Packers' Lukas Van Ness: Won't play Week 14
Van Ness (foot) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bears, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.
Van Ness aggravated a foot injury during the Packers' Week 12 win over the Vikings. He has been unable to practice since the aggravation, so he'll aim to return to practice in at least a limited capacity ahead of the Packers' Week 15 clash against the Broncos on Sunday, Dec. 14. Kingsley Enagbare should continue to see more rotational snaps at defensive end behind Rashan Gary and Micah Parsons for as long as Van Ness is sidelined.

Alex Wright DE | CLE
Browns' Alex Wright: Good to go
Wright (quadriceps) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Titans, Chris Easterling of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.
Wright missed the Browns' Week 13 loss to the 49ers with a quadriceps injury, but three practices capped off with a full session Friday were enough to avoid an injury designation for Sunday's contest. The return of the starting defensive end opposite Myles Garrett is a huge boon for a Browns defensive line that is already without Maliek Collins (quadriceps) and potentially without Mason Graham (ribs).

Nate Hobbs CB | GB
Packers' Nate Hobbs: Tagged as questionable Week 14
Hobbs (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bears, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.
Hobbs was limited in practice all week due to an MCL sprain, but he has a chance to be cleared to return from a four-game absence. If he is given the green light to play Sunday, then Hobbs could be moved to the slot corner position if Javon Bullard (ankle) doesn't suit up.
-
Javon Bullard SAF | GB
Packers' Javon Bullard: Questionable for Week 14
Bullard (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bears, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.
Bullard missed the last two practices of the week while tending to an ankle injury, but he was still tagged as questionable and has a chance to be cleared to play if he goes through Sunday's pregame warmups without sustaining a setback. If Bullard doesn't play, then Bo Melton and/or Kamal Hadden could be thrust into the slot corner position for Week 14.
-
Isaiah McGuire DE | CLE
Browns' Isaiah McGuire: Questionable with knee issue
McGuire (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Titans, Chris Easterling of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.
McGuire was a non-participant in Wednesday's practice before stringing consecutive limited sessions together to end the week. The consistent participation means the defensive end is likely trending towards suiting up for Sunday. If the 24-year-old is unable to go, Cameron Thomas would be in line to see more rotational snaps at defensive end.

Jahan Dotson WR | PHI
Eagles' Jahan Dotson: Limited in practice again
Dotson (toe) remained limited at Friday's practice, Andrew DiCecco of InsideTheBirds.com reports.
Dotson has one more chance to upgrade to full participation ahead of Monday's matchup with the Chargers. He was listed as a limited participant both Thursday and Friday.
