Tyrique Stevenson CB | CHI
Bears' Tyrique Stevenson: Ready for Week 15
Stevenson (hip) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Browns.
Stevenson opened the Bears' week of practice with consecutive limited sessions but upgraded to a full-go Friday, suggesting he's moved past his hip injury in time to play Sunday. Now fully healthy, the Miami product is expected to have an expanded role in Chicago's secondary while Kyler Gordon (groin) remains sidelined in Week 15.

Joey Bosa DE | BUF
Bills' Joey Bosa: Ready to face Pats
Bosa (hamstring/wrist) does not carry an injury designation for Sunday's game against New England.
Bosa was listed as limited in practice Wednesday and Thursday, but he resumed handling full reps Friday and is all clear to return from his one-game absence. The veteran defensive end has racked up 26 tackles (15 solo), including 5.0 sacks, across 12 regular-season appearances with Buffalo. He's also recorded five forced fumbles.

Kyler Gordon CB | CHI
Bears' Kyler Gordon: Won't play Sunday
Gordon (groin) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Browns.
Gordon didn't practice all week and is now in line to miss his second consecutive game due to a groin injury. The Washington product has appeared in just three contests this season, recording seven total tackles, including 1.0 sacks. While he remains out Sunday, Jaylon Johnson and Nahshon Wright are likely to operate as Chicago's top boundary corners.

Travis Homer RB | PIT
Bears' Travis Homer: Out for Week 15
Homer (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Browns.
Despite upgrading from a DNP on Thursday to limited practice Friday, Homer won't be available for Sunday's contest. The 27-year-old is now in line to miss his seventh game of the season. With Homer ruled out, D'Andre Swift and Kyle Monangai are currently the only running backs on the Bears' active roster without an injury designation for the Week 15 matchup.

Theo Johnson TE | NYG
Giants' Theo Johnson: Cleared to play
Johnson (toe) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against Washington, Matt Citak of the Giants' official site reports.
Johnson upgraded to full practice Friday after limited sessions the previous two days. He should be ready for his usual near-every-down role, against a Washington defense that's allowing a league-high 8.7 yards per pass attempt.

Ty Chandler RB | NO
Vikings' Ty Chandler: Questionable for Sunday
Chandler (knee) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Cowboys.
The 27-year-old practiced in full both Wednesday and Thursday but remains on the injured reserve list, leaving his status for Sunday's matchup in question. The Vikings must activate Chandler to their active roster in order for him to suit up in Week 15. If activated in time, the North Carolina product will likely serve as one of Minnesota's top kick returners.

Christian Benford CB | BUF
Bills' Christian Benford: Listed as questionable for Week 15
Benford (toe) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Patriots.
Benford wasn't listed on Wednesday's injury report, but he then downgraded to limited practice activity Thursday and missed Friday's practice entirely, which may indicate that he's trending in the wrong direction for Sunday's game. He was spotted with a walking boot on his left foot Thursday. Rookie first-round pick Maxwell Hairston will stand to draw a start at cornerback if Benford can't play Sunday.

Josh Metellus SAF | MIN
Vikings' Josh Metellus: Ready to rock
Metellus (shoulder) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Cowboys.
The Michigan product logged consecutive limited sessions to open the Vikings' week of practice, but it appears he's moved past his shoulder injury in time to play Sunday. Now fully healthy, Metellus is expected to operate as Minnesota's top strong safety in Week 15.
-
Justin Reid S | NO
Saints' Justin Reid: Could return for Week 15
Reid (knee) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Panthers, Ross Jackson of WWL Louisiana reports.
Reid upgraded from a DNP on Wednesday to limited practice sessions Thursday and Friday, suggesting he's trending in the right direction ahead of Sunday's divisional matchup. The first-year Saint is an integral part of the team's defense, recording 60 total tackles and four passes defensed, including one pick-six, across 12 appearances this season. If active for the Week 15 contest, Reid is expected to operate as New Orleans' top strong safety.

Mitch Trubisky QB | TEN
Bills' Mitchell Trubisky: All clear for Week 15
Trubisky (illness) does not carry an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Patriots.
Trubisky did not practice Thursday due to an illness, but he resumed practicing in full Friday. He'll handle his usual backup role behind star quarterback Josh Allen during Sunday's road divisional matchup against New England.
