Justin Jackson (Calf) Questionable for Sunday
Jackson will be the third string RB with limited upside if healthy.
As reported by: Los Angeles Chargers
Sammy Watkins (Hamstring) Expected to Play Sunday
Watkins is cleared and ready to play Sunday. Because of the nature of a hamstring injury, Watkins does carry risk of re-aggravation during the game. He has been a complete boom or bust player this year, and the fact Matt Moore is starting for Patrick Mahomes doesn’t help.
As reported by: Dani Welniak Other tagged players: Matt Moore, Tyreek Hill Keenan Allen (Hamstring) Officially Questionable, Game-Time Decision Sunday
Allen will be a game-time decision Sunday for the Chargers. He tweaked his hamstring in practice this week, missing Thursday and Friday. His absence would open up his 10 targets per game, with Mike Williams having a chance to fill the top-WR spot if Allen is out.
As reported by: Eric Williams Other tagged players: Mike Williams, Philip Rivers Patrick Mahomes (Knee) Ruled Out Sunday, Matt Moore Will Start
As expected, Mahomes has been ruled out Sunday, despite being able to practice all week in a limited manner. He dislocated his kneecap last week, and original reports had him out for several weeks. Matt Moore steps in as QB, and should be boosted by the return of Sammy Watkins from injury.

Both Westbrook and Lee are expected to play for the Jaguars Sunday against the Jets. Lee was out last week and will be near the bottom of the depth chart. Westbrook has draw 28 targets over the last 3 weeks and will be heavily involved if he can play.
As reported by: Jacksonville Jaguars Other tagged players: Marqise Lee Noah Fant (Foot) Does Not Practice Friday, Still Expected to Play Sunday
Fant reportedly cut his foot Thursday removing the tape from his ankle, so they rested him Friday. He did not need stitches, so he should be fine Sunday. The trade of Emmanuel Sanders earlier this week should increase the targets available for Fant.

Adams has not yet been ruled out, despite not practicing all week. He has missed three weeks and looks likely to be out Sunday.
As reported by: Rob Demovsky Other tagged players: Aaron Rodgers Duke Williams (Shoulder) Will be a Game-Time Decision Sunday

As reported by: Matthew Fairburn Other tagged players: Josh Allen Matt Ryan (Ankle) Questionable Sunday; Ito Smith (Concussion/Neck) Ruled Out
Matt Ryan is officially questionable for Sunday. The Falcons are expected to make a decision Saturday. Matt Schaub will get the start for the Falcons if Ryan can’t play.
As reported by: D. Orlando Ledbetter Other tagged players: Ito Smith, Matt Schaub Sterling Shepard (Concussion) Out Sunday
As expected, Shepard has been ruled out for Sunday’s game. Golden Tate and Darius Slayton will be the top WR options for the Giants. The offense should still run mainly through Saquon Barkley and Evan Engram.
As reported by: Art Stapleton Other tagged players: Golden Tate, Darius Slayton, Daniel Jones O.J. Howard (Hamstring) Out Sunday; Breshad Perriman (Hamstring) Will Play
Howard has been ruled out for Sunday, increasing the role for Cameron Brate as the top receiving TE. Perriman will return for the first time since Week 4, although he is a distant third option behind Chris Godwin and Mike Evans
As reported by: Scott Smith Other tagged players: Breshad Perriman, Cameron Brate, Jameis Winston Jamison Crowder (Knee) Expected to Play Sunday
Crowder collided with a teammate in practice Thursday, so he was limited out of precaution. He is expected to play Sunday without issue.
As reported by: Manish Mehta David Johnson (Ankle) Expected to be a Game-Time Decision Sunday
Johnson is trending towards not playing this week, but the Cardinals appear to be treating him as a game-time decision. Even if they already know he can’t play, they can force the other team to prepare for Johnson by not ruling him out.
As reported by: Darren Urban Other tagged players: Chase Edmonds George Kittle (Groin), Raheem Mostert (Knee), Dante Pettis (Knee), and Deebo Samuel (Groin) Limited in Practice Thursday
The 49ers had a long list of limited offensive skill players Thursday. The Friday injury report will give us a better idea of who can play.
As reported by: Nick Wagoner Other tagged players: Raheem Mostert, Dante Pettis, Deebo Samuel Adrian Peterson Active For Redskins Tonight
Peterson is active tonight for the Redskins. There is some risk he won’t be able to handle a normal workload, meaning Wendell Smallwood or Craig Reynolds could see more touches than usual. The Redskins are also significant underdogs, so they could be forced away from the run game early.
