Jackson (knee) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game against the Eagles.

Even though Jackson is set to put an end to a two-game absence due to a knee injury, he'll be playing second fiddle, at best, in a Colts backfield dominated by a now healthy Jonathan Taylor. Jackson has shown prowess as a pass catcher, though, having hauled in 16 of 17 passes for 121 yards this season, so he may slide into the role previously held by Nyheim Hines, who was dealt to the Bills at the trade deadline.

Elliott (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Vikings, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

Coach Mike McCarthy and team president Jerry Jones both said Friday that they expect Elliott to play. The running back was a limited practice participant Wednesday through Friday, and potential outcomes for Sunday include being active but handling a lesser role than he's accustomed to. The Cowboys and Vikings are scheduled for a 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff, with Tony Pollard likely taking on a large workload in the event Elliott is inactive for a third straight game. The Cowboys apparently don't expect that to happen, but fantasy managers still should keep an eye on the situation given Elliott's injury designation and limited activity this week.

McKinnon (hamstring/shoulder) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Chargers.

McKinnon avoided the final injury report despite being limited in all three of Kansas City's practices during the week. He'll remain part of a rotation alongside lead running back Isiah Pacheco and Clyde Edwards-Helaire this weekend.

Edwards (hamstring/knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's contest versus the Panthers, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

Edwards strung together three straight limited practices during Week 11 prep, leaving his status up in the air as he looks to cap his DNP streak to just one game with the help of a Week 10 bye. He'll likely test out his recovering right hamstring ahead of Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff, for which his availability will become known about 90 minutes prior. If Edwards ends up limited or out this weekend, Kenyan Drake likely will be the biggest beneficiary, with Justice Hill and Mike Davis on hand for any RB reps that linger.

Evans (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Steelers, Jay Morrison of The Athletic reports.

Evans sustained a knee injury during Cincinnati's Week 9 win over the Panthers, but he was ultimately given some extra time to recover with the team's Week 10 bye. The 25-year-old practiced in a limited fashion in each of the Bengals' sessions heading into Sunday's contest versus Pittsburgh, but if he's eventually ruled out this weekend, Trent Taylor would be the likely candidate to handle kick returns.

Williams (knee) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Texans, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.

Williams has been dealing with a lingering knee issue that's caused him to miss four out of Washington's last five contests, but he's since logged full sessions in each of the team's practices heading into Sunday's matchup versus Houston. While the 28-year-old's availability remains unknown for certain, it appears that he'll be able to continue operating in his usual role as a special-teams contributor in Week 11.

Coach Mike McCarthy said Friday he expects Elliott (knee) to play versus Minnesota on Sunday, Clarence E. Hill Jr. of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.

Elliott is coming off back-to-back limited practice sessions, and while he still could carry an injury tag into Sunday's contest, it appears the Cowboys expect to have him back in action for the first time since Week 7. Tony Pollard has thrived in a lead role, with 100-plus rushing yards in both of Dallas' last two games, so it'll be worth monitoring whether Elliott is feeling any lingering effects from his Grade 2 MCL sprain. Elliott has said he plans to wear a brace on his right knee, and the Cowboys next will have to look ahead to a short week before taking on the Giants on Thanksgiving Day.

Dillon had six carries for 13 yards and one reception for 10 yards in Thursday's 27-17 loss to the Titans.

Dillon played about as many snaps as he is averaging on the season in Thursday's contest, but he wound up finishing with fewer than 10 touches for the third time in his last seven appearances. Since the start of that stretch, he has averaged just 42.3 yards from scrimmage per game and has not found pay dirt, so he has provided little assistance for those including him in fantasy lineups.

Jones rushed 12 times for 40 yards and secured six of seven targets for 20 yards in the Packers' 27-17 loss to the Titans on Thursday night. He also recorded a two-point conversion catch and committed a fumble recovered by Green Bay.

Jones unsurprisingly had a tough time against the Titans' stalwart road run defense, which came into the game allowing an average of 60 rushing yards per away contest. However, he did manage to put together a serviceable performance thanks to his pass-catching contributions and two-point conversion grab, with his reception total his second-highest of the season. Jones will attempt to get his production on the ground back up to his standards in a potentially favorable Week 12 matchup on the road against the Eagles' inconsistent rush defense a week from Sunday night.

Henry rushed 28 times for 87 yards and a touchdown, brought in both targets for 45 yards and completed two pass attempts for four yards and a touchdown in the Titans' 27-17 win over the Packers on Thursday night.

Dontrell Hilliard was the only other back to register a carry for the Titans on the night, and he logged exactly one rush attempt. That equated to a particularly busy night for Henry, who'd logged just a combined 36 carries in the previous pair of games. Henry also made impressive contributions through the air as both a passer and receiver, throwing a three-yard jump touchdown pass to Austin Hooper just past the halfway point of the third quarter and recording a 42-yard reception as well. Henry crossed the 1,000-yard mark on the ground for the fourth time in the last five seasons with Thursday's effort, and his next chance to build on his already impressive numbers comes in a Week 12 home battle against the Bengals a week from Sunday.
