Jets defensive lineman Muhammad Wilkerson (toe) and tight end Jace Amaro (concussion) were the only players ruled out for Sunday's game against Minnesota, per New York's final injury report released on Friday. Both were unable to practice all week because of their respective injuries.

Meanwhile, guard Willie Colon (knee, shoulder), tight end Jeff Cumberland (illness), kicker Nick Folk (right hip), running back Chris Johnson (knee), wide receiver Jeremy Kerley (illness) and cornerback Josh Thomas (illness) were all deemed probable.

The Vikings have ruled running back Jerick McKinnon out of Sunday’s game at New Orleans, reports ESPN.

It will be the second consecutive game McKinnon has missed while dealing with a back injury.

The team also listed linebacker Anthony Barr (knee) and defensive back Jabari Price (hamstring) as doubtful.

The Redskins released their final injury report Friday and listed Jason Hatcher (knee), Chris Baker (chest) and E.J. Biggers (concussion) as questionable for Sunday’s game against the Rams.

Raiders running back Latavius Murray, who was recently cleared from a concussion, could see a heavier workload in his first game back against the 49ers in Week 14. Coach Tony Sparano told reporters he's "curious" to see more of Murray on Sunday, Comcast SportsNet Bay Area reports.

Murray suffered a concussion Week 12 against Kansas City. Before the injury, Murray totaled 112 rushing yards and two touchdowns on four carries.

"I love the way Latavius runs the football," Sparano said. "I like what I've seen, but I've seen [14] carries. I want to see more of them. I'm curious, too. I'm curious just like the fans are curious."

Raiders running back Latavius Murray was able to practice in full on Thursday.

Murray was cleared to return from a concussion, and was finally able to put in a full day of practice. He's expected to play a big role in the team's rushing attack moving forward, though he may be stuck in a rotation for the time being. Murray was on his toward a huge game against the Chiefs before he got injured. 

Vikings running back Jerick McKinnon (back), linebacker Anthony Barr (knee) and defensive back Jabari Price (hamstring) all missed Thursday's practice in preparation for Week 14's game against the Jets. 

McKinnon, who missed Week 13 with a lower back injury, is averaging 4.8 yards per carry, while Barr left Week 13 with a knee injury and was feared to miss significant time. However, Barr has no structural damage and is questionable for Week 14. 

Sharrif Floyd (knee) and Chase Ford (foot) were limited in practice. 

The Buccaneers were without running back Bobby Rainey, tight ends Austin-Seferian Jenkins and Brandon Myers and defensive tackle Clinton McDonald at Thursday's practice. 

Rainey injured his ankle in Week 13's loss to the Bengals and also missed practice on Wednesday. Seferian-Jenkins (back) and McDonald (hamstring) both missed Week 13. 

Lavonte David (hamstring) and Luke Stocker (concussion) both practiced. 

The Bucs take on the Lions in Week 14. 

Cardinals offensive tackle Jared Veldheer was back at practice Thursday, but linebacker Larry Foote (hip),defensive lineman Ed Stinson (toe) and running back Andre Ellington (hip) all missed practice.

Veldheer has played in all 12 of the Cardinals' games this year, but is dealing with an ankle injury suffered in Wednesday's practice. 

The Cardinals face the Chiefs in Week 14. 

Tony Sparano is unprepared to declare impressive Raiders running back Latavius Murray as his featured guy. And that has some fans upset.

Murray rushed for 155 yards in his last eight carries before missing the Week 13 game with a concussion. That's as many yards as starter Darren McFadden has in his last 62 attempts, but Sparano remains skeptical.

"He has eight carries," Sparano pointed out to the San Francisco Chronicle. "I love the way Latavius runs the football. I like what I've seen. I've seen eight carries. I want to see more of him. I'm curious, too. I'm curious just like the fans are curious."

Sparano has stated that he would like to see Murray get 15-18 carries in a game to see how he responds. Oakland hosts San Francisco on Sunday, but Murray will certainly not be used exclusively in the backfield.

"For now, he's going to be a guy you continue to rotate," Sparano said.

Raiders running back Latavius Murray won't be used as a workhorse back just yet, according to FoxSports.

Head coach Tony Sparano pointed out that Murray has only received eight carries this season, and didn't play last year. While Murray did receive a fair amount of work in college, Sparano pointed out that it's been a while since he's taken on a big load. Sparano went on to explain that he views Murray as a player that needs to be in a rotation right now.
