Nubin (neck) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Lions, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

The Minnesota product was sidelined for the Giants' Week 11 loss to the Packers due to a neck injury, but following a week of limited practice sessions, he could return Sunday. Nubin has appeared in 10 games this season, recording 58 total tackles and one pass defensed. If he misses his second consecutive game in Week 12, expect Dane Belton to operate as the team's top strong safety.

Perine (ankle) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Patriots.

Perine's doubtful designation was expected based on reporting from earlier in the week. He sprained his ankle in Week 9 against the Bears and hasn't played since. Chase Brown will likely maintain a near-monopoly on Cincinnati's backfield touches Sunday, with Tahj Brooks as the next man up if Perine's ruled out.

Banks (hip) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Lions, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

The 2023 first-round pick from Maryland downgraded from limited practice Thursday to a DNP on Friday, suggesting he's trending in the wrong direction ahead of Sunday's contest. Banks has appeared in all 11 of the Giants' games this season, recording 27 total tackles and three passes defensed. If inactive in Week 12, Dru Phillips will likely operate as the team's top slot corner.

Allen had his left shoulder examined by athletic trainers during Thursday's 23-19 loss to the Texans but stayed in the game and told reporters "we're good" regarding the injury after the game, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.

Allen, who was also seen shaking out his right hand after one of the eight sacks he took in Thursday's loss, should be fine moving forward. He'll have a few extra days to recover before what could be another physically grueling game against the Steelers on Sunday, Nov. 30. If Allen is dealing with any physical limitations coming out of Thursday's loss, those would be revealed when the Bills resume practicing Wednesday.

Nunez-Roches (toe) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Lions, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

The 32-year-old practiced in a limited fashion all week due to a toe injury, but it appears he'll play through the issue in the Week 12 matchup. Nunez-Roches has appeared in seven games this season, recording 20 total tackles, including 2.0 sacks, and one pass defensed. He's expected to play as one of New York's top interior defensive linemen in Sunday's contest.

Flannigan-Fowles (illness) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Lions, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

The 29-year-old upgraded from a DNP on Wednesday to a full practice session Friday, suggesting he's moved past his illness in time to play Sunday. Now fully healthy, Flannigan-Fowles is expected to operate as one of the Giants' top linebackers in Week 12.

Gordon (calf) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Steelers.

The Washington product upgraded from limited practice Thursday to a full go Friday, suggesting he's trending in the right direction ahead of Sunday's contest. However, he must be activated to the Bears' active roster in order to suit up in Week 12. If Gordon returns Sunday, he'll likely operate as one of Chicago's top slot defenders.

Hunt is set to lead Kansas City's backfield Sunday against the Colts, as Isiah Pacheco (knee) has been ruled out.

Pacheco will miss a third consecutive game Sunday. Hunt has turned 26 touches into 117 yards from scrimmage and two touchdowns during the first two games of Pacheco's absence. Brashard Smith and Elijah Mitchell remain on hand in backup roles. Hunt has seven total touchdowns this season, including four in his last three games.

Brisker (shoulder) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Steelers.

Brisker upgraded from a DNP on Wednesday to full practice sessions Thursday and Friday, suggesting he's trending toward playing in the Week 12 matchup. The Penn State product has yet to miss a game this season, recording 49 total tackles and three passes defensed, including one interception, over 10 appearances. If active Sunday, he'll likely operate as the team's top strong safety.

Johnson (groin) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Steelers.

Johnson practiced in full both Thursday and Friday but must still be activated to the Bears' active roster in order to suit up in Week 12. He's an integral part of Chicago's defense, appearing in 17 games and recording 53 total tackles, eight passes defensed, including two interceptions, and one forced fumble in 2024. If Johnson returns Sunday, he'll likely operate as the Bears' top boundary corner.
