Williams completed 16 of 32 passes for 193 yards, no touchdowns and no interceptions in Sunday's 19-17 win over the Vikings. He also rushed four times for 26 yards.

Williams finished without a touchdown pass for the third time in his last five starts while completing fewer than 60 percent of his passes for the sixth time in his last seven outings. He was credited with his league-leading fifth fourth-quarter comeback win of the season, but Williams didn't do much to earn this one, handing the ball off three times after Devin Duvernay's kickoff return got the Bears in range for a game-winning Cairo Santos field goal on the final play. Williams has an opportunity to pick up the pace as a passer in Week 12 against the inconsistent Steelers secondary.

Hubbard rushed four times for 21 yards and caught one of three targets for seven yards in Sunday's 30-27 overtime win over the Falcons.

The 26-year-old has now received just 10 total touches in the Panthers' last two games, cementing his No. 2 slotting behind Rico Dowdle, who tallied 100 total yards on 24 touches in Sunday's win. Since Dowdle took over as Carolina's No. 1 option in the Week 9 win over the Packers, Hubbard has managed just 52 rushing yards on 12 attempts. He's expected to continue operating in a reserve role in the Week 12 matchup against the 49ers.

Tucker rushed 19 times for 106 yards and two touchdowns and brought in both targets for 34 yards and another score in the Buccaneers' 44-32 loss to the Bills on Sunday.

Rumblings of a bigger role for Tucker had been present leading up to game day, and those proved to be accurate. The explosive third-year back logged nine more carries than backfield mate Rachaad White, and he more than doubled up the latter in rushing yards while recording 43- and six-yard touchdown runs before adding a 28-yard scoring grab early in the fourth quarter. Tucker had a similar breakout performance against the Saints last season, but Sunday marked an extension of what is now a three-game streak of elevated participation and production for him. If Bucky Irving (foot/shoulder) remains sidelined Week 12 on the road against the Rams, Tucker will be in line to serve as the clear lead back once again.

Beal suffered a concussion in the first half of Sunday's contest against Arizona, Jennifer Lee Chan of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Beal took a blow to the head in the first half of Sunday's matchup with the Cardinals, bringing his day to a premature end. The defensive lineman is primarily a special-teams asset, so his absence doesn't carry a major impact on the defense.

Bethune (ankle) is questionable to return to Sunday's contest against the Cardinals, Jennifer Lee Chan of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Bethune suffered an ankle injury in the first half of the contest, and his status is now up in the air for the rest of the day. In his absence, Nick Martin and Curtis Robinson are top candidates to see an increase in workload at linebacker.

Coker caught all four of his targets for 52 yards in Sunday's 30-27 overtime win over the Falcons.

Coker was one of five Panthers to notch 50 receiving yards in Sunday's win, benefitting from Bryce Young's best game as a professional (448 passing yards and three touchdowns). The second-year pro from Holy Cross has now caught 11 of 15 targets for 118 yards in five games since returning from a quadriceps injury. Xavier Legette (hip) exited in the fourth quarter with an injury, so it's possible Coker has an expanded offensive role in a favorable Week 12 matchup against the 49ers.

Demercado exited Sunday's game against the 49ers with an ankle injury.

Before leaving the contest, Demercado carried five times for eight yards and caught two of his three targets for 12 yards. In his absence, fellow RB Michael Carter is available to work behind Bam Knight.

Higgins caught three of eight targets for 63 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 34-12 loss to the Steelers.

Higgins capped Cincinnati's first possession with a 28-yard touchdown catch, but that was his only target of the first half. He was busier after halftime and finished as the team leader in receiving yards, while no teammate had more than 36 receiving yards in a rare off day for Cincinnati's passing game. Higgins extended his touchdown streak to four games (five touchdowns) ahead of a Week 12 home game against the Patriots.

Flacco completed 23 of 40 passes for 199 yards, one touchdown and one interception in Sunday's 34-12 loss to the Steelers. He added one rushing attempt for minus-1 yard.

Flacco threw a 28-yard touchdown pass to Tee Higgins in the first quarter, but the Bengals didn't get their next points until a field goal in the third quarter, and Flacco threw a pick-six with Cincinnati in field-goal range on the drive after that field goal. The 40-year-old quarterback failed to throw multiple touchdown passes for the first time in five starts with the Bengals, and he posted his lowest total for passing yards since joining Cincinnati. The magic may be wearing off for Flacco, but with Joe Burrow (toe) reportedly targeting a Thanksgiving Day return in Week 13 against the Ravens, Week 12 against the Patriots might be Flacco's last starting opportunity.

Robinson (knee) is questionable to return to Sunday's contest against the Ravens.

Robinson suffered a knee injury in the second quarter, placing doubt on his ability to make it back out onto field. In his absence, KT Leveston is a top candidate to take over at left tackle.
