Johnston (shin), who is questionable for Sunday's game against Jacksonville, appears likely to play after practicing fully Friday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Though players who end the week with a full practice session typically end up playing in the subsequent game, Johnston's status won't be officially clarified until the Chargers release their inactive list 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff. If he does suit up, Johnston will likely take on his usual key role in the Chargers' wideout corps alongside Ladd McConkey and Keenan Allen.

Thomas (ankle), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Chargers, is not expected to play, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Thomas logged a trio of limited practices this week as he tries to return from the ankle injury he suffered in a Week 9 win over Las Vegas. Despite the step forward in practice activity from the week before, Thomas still looks poised to miss a second straight contest to give his ankle more time to heal. Assuming Thomas is inactive, Parker Washington and Jakobi Meyers are likely to work as the Jaguars' top two wideouts, with Dyami Brown slated for the No. 3 role. Thomas' ability to practice three times in limited fashion this week suggests that he has at least a decent chance of returning in Week 12 versus Arizona on Nov. 23.

Stroud, who has been ruled out for Sunday's matchup versus Tennessee due to a concussion, may not be ready to play in the Texans' Week 12 game Thursday against Buffalo, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Stroud suffered the concussion Week 9 against Denver and missed last Sunday's win over Jacksonville. He'll sit out a second straight contest this week, and the quick turnaround for Week 12 could result in him being sidelined for a third consecutive game. For as long as Stroud remains out, Davis Mills will start behind center for Houston.

Knight, who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against San Francisco due to an ankle injury, is expected to play, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Knight made an early exit from last Sunday's loss to Seattle after injuring his ankle. He was able to log three limited practice sessions this week, which appears to be good enough for him to take the field Sunday. Assuming he's cleared to play when Arizona releases its inactive list 90 minutes prior to the 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff, Knight may continue to start for the Cardinals but won't necessarily be guaranteed the bulk of the work out of the backfield. Emari Demercado has outproduced Knight in each of the past two weeks and may have earned himself more opportunities on early downs, especially if Knight isn't operating at 100 percent health.

Adams, who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Seattle due to an oblique injury, is likely to suit up, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

The report seems to confirm Rams head coach Sean McVay's acknowledgement from Friday, when he relayed that he expected Adams to play. The veteran wideout missed practice Wednesday but was able to log limited sessions Thursday and Friday, suggesting that his oblique issue isn't debilitating. If Adams does indeed participate in the big NFC West clash, he'll look to extend a three-game streak of getting into the end zone.

London (illness/back), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Carolina, plans to suit up, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

London sat out the Falcons' first practice of the week before advancing to limited participation Thursday and Friday. The star wideout apparently feels well enough to try to play Sunday, though he may not be 100 percent while he manages both an illness and a back issue. London's availability -- if he does indeed play -- is a big deal for Atlanta's passing game, as he's exceeded 100 receiving yards in four of the past five games in which he's taken the field.

Ridley (hamstring), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's matchup versus Houston, is likely to play, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

Ridley missed each of Tennessee's past three games while dealing with an injured hamstring. He was able to log a trio of limited practices Wednesday through Friday following Tennessee's Week 10 bye, and the veteran wideout now seems ready to return to game action. If Ridley does indeed suit up Sunday, Elic Ayomanor, Chimere Dike and the other members of the Titans' wideout corps could each take a step down in the team's pass-catching pecking order.

The Broncos activated Wallow (hamstring) from injured reserve Saturday, Luca Evans of The Denver Post reports.

Wallow remains listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Chiefs, but this move would suggest he has a chance to suit up for the AFC West clash. Wallow has played 90 snaps on special teams across five appearances this season.

The Seahawks activated Haynes (pectoral) from injured reserve Saturday.

Haynes suffered the injury during the preseason, so he will be looking to make his season debut Sunday against the Rams, where he's projected to serve as the top backup interior lineman.

Sundell (knee) was placed on injured reserve by Seattle on Saturday.

Sundell was injured in last Sunday's win over the Cardinals and will now miss at least the Seahawks' next four contests. With Sundell sidelined, Olu Oluwatimi is expected to take over as the starting center.
