  • Durham Smythe TE | CHI

    Bears' Durham Smythe: Questionable for Sunday

    Smythe (calf) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Giants.

    Smythe managed to log a limited practice Friday as he battles back from a calf injury. The 30-year-old tight end has taken a back seat in the passing game to both Cole Kmet and rookie Colston Loveland, having not received a single target through eight games this season. If Smythe is able to play, he will likely continue to be relegated to a limited role as a blocker for the offense.

  • Terry McLaurin WR | WAS

    Commanders' Terry McLaurin: Ruled out for Week 10

    McLaurin (quadriceps) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Lions, Ben Standig of Big 100 Washington D.C. reports.

    McLaurin hasn't practiced since aggravating his quad injury Week 8 in his lone appearance since Week 3. He'll now miss a second straight game, with additional absences potentially ahead beyond that.

  • Garrett Wilson WR | NYJ

    Jets' Garrett Wilson: Questionable but expected to play

    Wilson (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Browns, but he's expected to play, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

    Wilson upgraded to full practice participation Friday after a pair of limited sessions Wednesday and Thursday. He didn't quite work his way off the injury report completely, but the star wide receiver is poised to return for his first action since Week 6. The Jets haven't declared a starting quarterback between Justin Fields and Tyrod Taylor, though Fields is the presumptive starter. Wilson has caught 36 of 56 targets for 395 yards and four touchdowns across six appearances this season.

  • Aaron Jones RB | MIN

    Vikings' Aaron Jones: Aiming to be ready by Sunday

    Jones (shoulder/toe) said Friday that he thinks he'll "be in a good spot" by Sunday to play against Baltimore, after the Vikings listed him as questionable on their final injury report, Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com reports.

    Following last week's early exit, Jones managed limited practices Thursday and Friday. He told reporters after Friday's practice that he's feeling good, though he did seem to hint at his Sunday availability depending on continued progress over the next two days. Should Jones end up inactive ahead of the 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff, Jordan Mason and Zavier Scott would take on larger roles in Minnesota's backfield.

  • Josh Blackwell CB | CHI

    Bears' Josh Blackwell: Out with concussion

    Blackwell (concussion) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Giants.

    Blackwell suffered a concussion during the Bears' Week 9 victory against the Bengals. The 26-year-old cornerback was not cleared to practice at all this week and will have to sit out Sunday's game. Blackwell's absence will likely mean Luther Burden will take over as the secondary kick and punt returner, with Blackwell's absence coinciding with Burden's return to the field.

  • Buccaneers' Rachaad White: In line for another start

    White is slated to lead the Buccaneers backfield Sunday against the Patriots with Bucky Irving (foot/shoulder) ruled out for the Week 10 contest, Brianna Dix of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

    Irving hasn't practiced since suffering a shoulder subluxation and a left foot sprain Week 4 and will miss his fifth straight game Sunday. White has been the biggest beneficiary of Irving's absence, totaling 262 yards from scrimmage and three rushing scores on 67 touches over the last four games. Reserve back Sean Tucker (26 touches for 72 total yards and two rushing touchdowns) has also taken on an increased role while Irving has been out. The going may be tough for White in Week 10 versus a New England defense that has held opposing running backs to an NFL-low 3.1 yards per carry this season.

  • T.J. Edwards LB | CHI

    Bears' T.J. Edwards: Won't return in Week 10

    Edwards (hand/hamstring) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Giants.

    The 29-year-old linebacker did not practice all week after having surgery on a broken hand. Edwards played 234 defensive snaps during the past four games, logging 27 total tackles (12 solo) and three passes defended. The absence of the starting middle linebacker will likely create an opportunity for Amen Ogbongbemiga to log some snaps with the Bears' linebacker corps in Sunday's game.

  • Saints' Taliese Fuaga: Out for Week 10

    Fuaga (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Panthers, Matthew Paras of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

    Fuaga was expected to miss the Week 10 divisional matchup after sustaining a high-ankle sprain the game prior, so his absence Sunday comes as no surprise. While he's sidelined, Dillon Radunz or Asim Richards will likely operate as the Saints' top right tackle.

  • Buccaneers' Markees Watts: Out for Sunday

    Watts (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Patriots, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.

    The Charlotte product didn't practice all week due to a hand injury, so it's no surprise that he won't suit up for the Week 10 matchup. While Watts is sidelined, expect Chris Braswell to operate as the Buccaneers' top reserve outside linebacker.

  • Joey Bosa DE | BUF

    Bills' Joey Bosa: Good to go

    Bosa (wrist) does not carry an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Dolphins.

    After not practicing Wednesday and logging only a limited session Thursday, Bosa was a full practice participant Friday. The 30-year-old defensive end played 44 defensive snaps during the Bills' Week 9 victory over the Chiefs, recording three tackles (two solo), including 1.0 sacks. Cleared of an injury designation, the starting end will suit up for a key divisional matchup Sunday as he looks to sack quarterback Tua Tagovailoa for the first time this season.
