Adebo (knee) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Packers.

The 26-year-old has missed the Giants' last three games due to a sprained MCL, but following a week of limited practice sessions, he's got a chance to return Sunday. Adebo has appeared in seven games this season, recording 48 total tackles and four passes defended. If he returns for the Week 11 matchup, he'll likely operate as one of New York's top boundary corners.

Flannigan-Fowles (pectoral) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Packers.

The Arizona product upgraded from a limited practice session Thursday to a full-go Friday, indicating that he's moved past his pectoral injury in time to play Sunday. Now fully healthy, Flannigan-Fowles is expected to operate as one of the Giants' top inside linebackers in Week 11.

Alford (concussion) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Panthers, Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com reports.

The 28-year-old sustained a concussion in the Falcons' Week 10 loss to the Colts and was not able to clear protocol in time to play in Sunday's divisional matchup. Alford will be sidelined for the first time in Week 11, having recording 29 total tackles, including 2.0 sacks, and seven passes defended over nine games. Expect Billy Bowman and Xavier Watts to play larger roles in the Falcons' secondary while Alford is out Sunday.

McCarthy (hand) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against Chicago, Dane Mizutani of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

This was expected following McCarthy's return to full practice participation Thursday. He hit his right hand on the helmet of a Baltimore defender during the Week 10 loss, perhaps impacting his accuracy down the stretch, but it sounds like he's throwing passes and taking snaps without any problem 4-to-5 days later.

Flacco (shoulder) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game in Pittsburgh.

Flacco played through an AC joint sprain in his right throwing shoulder in the Bengals' last game in Week 9, completing 31 of 47 passes for 470 yards, four touchdowns and two interceptions while losing his only fumble during a 47-42 loss to the Bears. Following a Week 10 bye, he sandwiched a limited practice Thursday between two DNPs, but the minimal activity was enough for the team to clear him ahead of Sunday's contest. Cincinnati opened No. 1 QB Joe Burrow's (toe) practice window this week, but it appears the earliest he may be available is a Thanksgiving Day matchup with the Ravens, giving Flacco at least two more chances to lead the offense, health permitting.

Perine (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Steelers.

With Perine -- who didn't practice this week -- unavailable and targeting a return to action Sunday, Nov. 23 against the Patriots, Tahj Brooks is in line to serve as Chase Brown's top backup this weekend. The Bengals also have the option of elevating RBs Gary Brightwell and/or Kendall Milton from their practice squad ahead of Week 11 action.

Harrison (knee) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Panthers, Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com reports.

Harrison downgraded from a limited practice session Thursday to a DNP on Friday, suggesting he's trending in the wrong direction ahead of Sunday's matchup. The third-year pro from Ohio State has been productive when healthy, recording 22 total tackles, including 4.5 sacks, and two forced fumbles over seven appearances this season. If he misses his third game of the season in Week 11, expect LaCale London to play an expanded role on the Falcons' defensive line.

Moore (shoulder) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Vikings.

Moore made it back to full practice participation by the end of the week after not taking part at all on Wednesday. He hurt his shoulder during last week's win over the Giants, briefly exiting the game before returning to a reduced role in the second half. Moore's target rate is just 17.8 percent this year -- his first time ever below 20 percent -- but recent comments from Bears coach Ben Johnson suggest the team is pleased with how Moore has adapted to a role with modest target volume. It could be a different story later this season if a brutal second-half schedule gets the best of the 6-3 Bears.

Franks (foot) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Panthers, Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com reports.

The 27-year-old popped up on the Falcons' injury report Friday as a limited practice participant, putting his status for Sunday's divisional matchup in question. Franks has not missed a game this season, playing 178 total snaps (171 on special teams, seven on offense) across nine contests.

Bellinger (groin) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Packers.

Bellinger practiced without limitations Friday after being limited Wednesday and Thursday. He's expected to occupy his usual role, focusing primarily on blocking while Theo Johnson runs more routes for a Giants offense that'll be operating with Jameis Winston under center with Jaxson Dart (concussion) sidelined for the time being.
