Higgins caught five of seven targets for 42 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 36-29 win over the Jaguars.

The rookie wideout bounced back from a one-target showing in Week 10, catching his second TD in the last three games on a 12-yard toss from Davis Mills and setting a new season high in receptions. Higgins still doesn't have a consistent role in the Houston passing game, but he's caught at least four passes in three of the last five games, posting a 14-112-2 line on 23 targets during that span. Higgins will look to deliver two straight strong performances for the first time in a Week 11 trip to Tennessee.

Lambert-Smith (hamstring) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Steelers.

A hamstring issue limited Lambert-Smith's practice participation Thursday and Friday, and the injury is severe enough for the rookie fifth-rounder to miss Sunday night's home game. Derius Davis will step into a more prominent role as a returner on kickoffs and punts due in Lambert-Smith's absence.

Fehoko (wrist) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's contest against the Seahawks.

Fehoko suffered a wrist injury in the second half, ultimately bringing his day to a premature end. The wide receiver didn't log any offensive stats before his departure.

Dissly (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Steelers.

Dissly will be sidelined for a third consecutive game, with two of his absences as a result of a healthy scratch. The Chargers will go with three active tight ends for Sunday night's game in Oronde Gadsden, Tucker Fisk and Tyler Conklin.

Knight sustained an ankle injury during Sunday's contest at Seattle.

At the time he exited in the fourth quarter, Knight was pacing the Cardinals with 10 carries but accrued only 28 yards on those rushes. Plus, he had one catch (on four targets) for five yards and returned four kickoffs for 79 yards. Emari Demercado and Michael Carter are the remaining healthy running backs that are available on Arizona's active roster.

Rodriguez hurt his shoulder during Sunday's game versus the Lions.

Rodriguez jogged to the locker room in the second half and eventually was termed questionable to return. If he stays off the field, he'll end Week 10 action with six carries for 16 yards and one touchdown while getting no targets in the passing game. Jacory Croskey-Merritt and Jeremy McNichols are the healthy and available running backs on the Commanders' active roster.

Leonard (knee) is active for Sunday night's contest against the Steelers.

Leonard will make his regular-season debut after missing the entirety of the campaign to this point while on injured reserve with a knee injury. He'll slot in as a top reserve option behind Donte Jackson and Cam Hart at cornerback versus Pittsburgh.

Adams suffered a back injury during Sunday's game at San Francisco, Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site reports.

Adams pulled up while running a route early in the fourth quarter and now is questionable to return. If he's unable to do so, he'll finish Week 10 action with six catches (on eight targets) for 77 yards and one touchdown, extending his TD streak to three straight contests in the process. The Rams will roll with Puka Nacua, Jordan Whittington, Konata Mumpfield and Xavier Smith at wide receiver in the short term.

Schultz caught seven of 11 targets for 53 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 36-29 win over the Jaguars.

The veteran tight end saw a season high in targets and topped 50 receiving yards for the fourth time in the last five games, this time with Davis Mills at QB instead of C.J. Stroud (concussion). Schultz capped his day with his first TD of the season, a seven-yard strike from Mills in the fourth quarter as the Texans put together a stunning comeback from a 29-10 deficit. Schultz will take a 45-438-1 line on 59 targets through nine contests into a Week 11 tilt against the Titans.

Hand (groin) is active for the Chargers' game versus the Steelers on Sunday.

Hand spent the past four weeks on injured reserve but is now set to make his return to the field. The 29-year-old should resume his role as one of the team's starting defensive ends during Sunday's matchup.
