Adams (hamstring), who is officially questionable to face the Lions on Sunday, is expected to play, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Adams didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday this week but logged a limited session Friday. Though he entered the weekend deemed questionable to suit up, coach Sean McVay expressed optimism Friday that the star wideout would be able to give it a go, and that looks like it will indeed be the case. Adams could be in for a big game against a Lions defense that has given up the second-most fantasy points to wideouts this season.

Jacobs, who is officially questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Broncos due to a knee issue, is expected to play, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Jacobs missed Week 12 due to the same injury, but he was able to play through the issue each of the past two weeks. It appears he'll do the same Sunday despite logging a DNP/DNP/LP practice progression this week and reportedly dealing with increased swelling. It remains to be seen if Jacobs will be limited in any way as a result of the balky knee, and as it is, he doesn't have a great matchup -- Denver is tied for fourth in the NFL in rushing yards allowed to running backs through 13 games.

Samuel, who is officially questionable to play against the Giants on Sunday due to an illness, is expected to give it a go, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Samuel came down with an illness near the end of the week and didn't practice Friday. However, he seems to be feeling better and thus appears likely to take the field against New York. He'll be working with QB Marcus Mariota, as Jayden Daniels has been ruled out due to a left elbow injury.

Peat (concussion) has been ruled out to face Miami on Monday Night Football.

Peat suffered a concussion last Sunday against the Ravens and appears to still be in concussion protocol, as he wasn't able to practice in any capacity this week. Dylan Cook will likely start at left tackle in Peat's stead against the Dolphins.

Brewer (ankle) does not have an injury designation for Monday's tilt against Pittsburgh, C. Isaiah Smalls II of the Miami Herald reports.

This confirms Brewer's proclamation earlier in the day that he's good to go for Monday's matchup after logging an FP/LP/FP practice progression this week. Brewer should take on his usual role as the Dolphins' starting center.

Pierre (calf) has been ruled out for Monday's matchup against the Dolphins.

Pierre sat out all three of Pittsburgh's practices this week due to a calf injury. As such, he's going to miss his first game of the season. Asante Samuel will likely start at cornerback in Pierre's stead against Miami.

Harmon (knee) is officially questionable to play against the Dolphins on Monday.

Harmon missed Pittsburgh's first two practices this week due to a lingering knee injury, but he was able to log a limited session Saturday to give himself at least a chance to play Monday. If he does take the field, it will end a streak of two straight absences. Harmon has typically logged around a 50 percent defensive snap share when he's suited up this season.

Harrison (concussion) does not carry an injury designation for Monday's Week 15 game against Miami.

Harrison suffered a concussion last Sunday against Baltimore, but he was able to log an LP/LP/FP practice progression this week. His lack of an injury tag on Pittsburgh's final injury report indicates that the veteran linebacker has cleared concussion protocol. Harrison is thus set to take the field against the Dolphins on Monday Night Football.

Benton (ankle) has been cleared of an injury designation for Monday's tilt against the Dolphins.

Benton was limited in practice Friday due to an ankle issue, but he was able to return to full participation Saturday. That clears the way for him to take the field against Miami on Monday Night Football. Benton has yet to miss a regular-season game in his three-year NFL career.

Heyward (knee) does not have an injury designation for Monday's matchup against Miami.

Heyward was added to the injury report Friday due to a knee issue and didn't practice that day. However, he was able to return to full participation Saturday, and he's been cleared to take the field Monday. Heyward has a modest 1.5 sacks through 13 contests this season after logging 8.0 across 17 regular-season games last year.
