Cole Holcomb LB | PIT
Steelers' Cole Holcomb: Ruled out for Week 10
Holcomb (illness) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Chargers, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.
An illness will prevent Holcomb from playing in a second straight game, and his next opportunity to play is Week 11 against the Bengals on Sunday, Nov. 16. Payton Wilson started at inside linebacker in the Steelers' Week 9 win over the Colts and led the team with 14 tackles (10 solo) and an interception. Wilson will likely draw the start in Week 10 in Holcomb's absence while Malik Harrison provides depth at the position.

Connor Heyward TE | PIT
Steelers' Connor Heyward: Cleared to play
Heyward (knee) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Chargers, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports
Despite missing practice both Wednesday and Thursday, Heyward logged a full practice Friday and didn't get tagged with an injury designation, making him set to suit up in Sunday's game. The 26-year-old fullback played 18 special teams snaps and four offensive snaps in Week 9 against the Colts and will likely log a similar amount of snaps in the fullback role for Sunday's game.

Dontayvion Wicks WR | GB
Packers' Dontayvion Wicks: Remains limited at practice
Wicks (calf) practiced in a limited capacity Friday.
After missing the last two games without practicing in advance of both, Wicks now has logged back-to-back capped sessions as he seeks his first game action since he tweaked his calf during a Week 7 win at Arizona. Saturday's injury report will reveal his odds to suit up Monday against the Eagles along with the Packers' other banged-up WRs: Matthew Golden (shoulder, DNP on Friday after LP on Thursday), Christian Watson (knee, LP both days), Malik Heath (hip, added as LP on Friday) and Savion Williams (foot, LP on Friday after DNP on Thursday).

Scott Miller WR | PIT
Steelers' Scotty Miller: Missing third straight game
Miller (finger) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Chargers, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.
Miller continues to recover from a procedure to repair a broken finger and will miss a third straight game as a result. He hasn't been able to practice since the surgery, and his next opportunity to play is Week 11 against the Bengals on Sunday, Nov. 16.

Tyson Campbell CB | CLE
Browns' Tyson Campbell: Good to go
Campbell (concussion) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Jets.
Campbell participated in full practices all three days this week and is ready to suit up for Week 10. The starting cornerback was placed in the league's concussion protocol following the Browns' Week 8 loss to the Patriots. With a bye week of rest and another week of full practice under his belt, Campbell should be near full health for Sunday's contest.
-
Christian Watson WR | GB
Packers' Christian Watson: Limited again Friday
Watson (knee) was a limited practice participant Friday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
Watson hasn't been able to log a full practice since the Packers activated him from the reserve/PUP list prior to Week 8, but his snap shares in two appearances to date (56 percent in Week 8, 66 percent in Week 9) imply that he's nearly back to 100 percent. He's also been productive, gathering in six of eight targets for 143 yards. All of Watson, Dontayvion Wicks (calf), Malik Heath (hip) and Savion Williams (foot) were limited Friday, while Matthew Golden (shoulder) fell back to a DNP from Thursday's limited showing, so Saturday's injury report will reveal who among the quintet has a chance to suit up Monday versus the Eagles.

Christian Gonzalez CB | NE
Patriots' Christian Gonzalez: Good to go against Tampa Bay
Gonzalez (concussion) does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Buccaneers.
Gonzalez entered the league's concussion protocol following the Patriots' Week 9 win over the Falcons. He was a full participant in practice all week and has been given the green light to play Sunday after being cleared by an independent neurologist. Gonzalez will likely spend most of Sunday's game shadowing Bucs rookie first-round wideout Emeka Egbuka.

Matthew Golden WR | GB
Packers' Matthew Golden: Falls back to DNP on Friday
Golden (shoulder) didn't practice Friday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
Golden wasn't able to return to the Packers' Week 9 loss to the Panthers due to a shoulder injury, and while he was limited at Thursday's session, his lack of activity one day later is a concerning development ahead of Monday's contest against the Eagles. Saturday's practice report will reveal the game-day designations for all of the Packers' banged-up wide receivers, the others being Christian Watson (knee, LP this week), Dontayvion Wicks (calf, also LP), Malik Heath (hip, added as LP on Friday) and Savion Williams (foot, LP on Friday after a DNP on Thursday).

Quan Martin SAF | WAS
Commanders' Quan Martin: Draws questionable tag for Week 10
Martin (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Lions, Ben Standig of Big 100 Washington D.C. reports.
Martin was unable to practice Wednesday due to a hamstring injury he sustained against Seattle in Week 9. He managed to increase his practice participation over the next two days and was a full participant in Friday's session, but he hasn't been given the green light to play Sunday just yet. Martin's status for Week 10 may not be officially known until the Commanders announce their list of inactive players about 90 minutes before the 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff, but if he's not cleared to play, then Tyler Owens (hamstring) and Darnell Savage would be the top candidates to start at safety alongside Jeremy Reaves.
-
Myles Harden CB | CLE
Browns' Myles Harden: Good to go
Harden (ankle) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Jets.
Harden logged practices in a limited capacity Wednesday and Thursday before upgrading to a full participant Friday. The 23-year-old cornerback is set to suit up for Sunday's contest, and the Browns defense will remain fortified with their starting slot corner staying on the field.
