We've got some good news on the injury front in Week 11, as there are several notable returns expected and multiple players with questionable designations that are expected to suit up. There are still some big quarterback names that will be sidelined, however, as well as a couple of tight ends that have already been ruled out as well. With plenty to catch up on, let's jump into the latest as of Sunday morning:
Note: This article doesn't include injury information for Sunday morning's Commanders-Dolphins game in Madrid.
QUARTERBACKS
The Texans' C.J. Stroud (concussion) remains out for Sunday's game against the Titans after once again missing practice all week. Davis Mills, who completed 27 of 45 passes for 292 yards with two touchdowns and one interception while adding a 3-20-1 rushing line against the Jaguars in a Week 10 comeback win, will log a second straight start in Stroud's stead.
The 49ers' Brock Purdy (toe) is off the injury report for Sunday's game against the Cardinals after following up a limited Wednesday practice with consecutive full sessions to close out the week. Purdy may well have a bit of rust to work off after last having played in Week 4 and having suited up for just two games so far this season, but he'll at least have Ricky Pearsall at his disposal versus Arizona since the latter is also making his return from a six-game absence due to a knee injury.

The Giants' Jaxson Dart (concussion) is out for Sunday's game against the Packers after missing practice all week. Dart was replaced by Russell Wilson when he exited the Week 10 matchup against the Bears with the head injury, but interim head coach Mike Kafka has opted to roll with Wilson's fellow veteran Jameis Winston as his starter against Green Bay. Winston hasn't thrown a regular-season pass to date in 2025, but he got plenty of run last season with the Browns and threw for 2,121 yards with 13 touchdowns and 12 interceptions across 12 games, adding 83 rushing yards and another score.
RUNNING BACKS
The Buccaneers' Bucky Irving (foot/shoulder) remains out for Sunday's game against the Bills despite managing to practice in limited fashion all week. In his continued absence versus Buffalo, Rachaad White and Sean Tucker will once again helm Tampa Bay's ground attack, with the latter potentially set to continue eating into White's workload after gaining 95 yards and scoring a touchdown on 21 carries over the last two games.
The Broncos' J.K. Dobbins (foot) was placed on injured reserve Saturday, sidelining him for the next four games at minimum. In Dobbins' absence beginning with Sunday's game against the Chiefs, rookie RJ Harvey is expected to serve as Denver's lead back, with Tyler Badie and Jaleel McLaughlin set to operate in rotational roles behind him.
The Chiefs' Isiah Pacheco (knee) remains out for Sunday's game against the Broncos after missing practice all week. In his continued absence, Kareem Hunt and Brashard Smith are set to operate as Kansas City's top two backs, with Elijah Mitchell potentially set to serve as the No. 3 option if he's active.
The Cardinals' Bam Knight (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's game against the 49ers after practicing in limited fashion all week. As per Saturday night reports, Knight is expected to play. Despite his projected active status, Knight may cede a fair share of work to Emari Demercado, who exceeded 100 total yards in Week 10 against the Seahawks and has a combined 18-143-0 rushing line and 4-39-0 receiving tally in the last two games.
The Ravens' Justice Hill (toe) is out for Sunday's game against the Browns after getting only a limited Friday practice in this week. In his absence against Cleveland, Keaton Mitchell should be primed for a bigger role behind Derrick Henry.
The Bengals' Samaje Perine (ankle) is out for Sunday's game against the Steelers after missing practice all week. In his absence versus Pittsburgh, Chase Brown should take on a particularly heavy workload, while Tahj Brooks will be in line to absorb any leftover touches.
WIDE RECEIVERS
The Rams' Davante Adams (oblique) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Seahawks after finishing the week with a pair of limited practices following a Wednesday absence. As per Saturday night reports, Adams is expected to play and fill his usual No. 2 role alongside Puka Nacua, one that's led to a 42-568-9 on 78 targets in the veteran wideout's Rams debut campaign.
The Cardinals' Marvin Harrison Jr. (appendix) is out for Sunday's game against the 49ers after missing practice all week. In his absence, Michael Wilson, Greg Dortch and Xavier Weaver are in position to serve as Jacoby Brissett's top three wideout targets, but the biggest beneficiary and candidate to absorb the bulk of the average of 6.9 targets per game Harrison leaves behind is likely star tight end Trey McBride.
The Falcons' Drake London (illness) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Panthers but finished the week with consecutive limited sessions after missing Wednesday's session. As per Saturday night reports, London is expected to play and serve in his customary clear-cut No. 1 role, with Darnell Mooney set to bump up the depth chart should London experience any setback.
The Buccaneers' Chris Godwin (fibula) remains out for Sunday's game against the Bills but managed to practice in limited fashion all week. In his ongoing absence and that of Mike Evans (IR, collarbone/concussion), Emeka Egbuka and Tez Johnson should continue to serve as Baker Mayfield's top two wideouts, with veteran Sterling Shepard operating as the No. 3 option.
The Jaguars' Brian Thomas (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Chargers after practicing in limited fashion all week. As per Saturday night reports, Thomas is not expected to suit up versus Los Angeles. In the second-year receiver's projected absence, Jakobi Meyers, Parker Washington and Dyami Brown will once again serve as Trevor Lawrence's top three wideouts versus Los Angeles, while Travis Etienne could also see an uptick in pass-catching work.
The Packers' Matthew Golden (shoulder) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Giants after practicing in limited fashion all week. If Golden were to sit out again, more downfield work might be available for Romeo Doubs and Christian Watson.
The Chargers' Quentin Johnston (shin) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Jaguars but managed to work back to a full practice Friday after opening the week with consecutive limited sessions. As per Saturday night reports, Johnston is expected to play and fill his usual No. 3 role behind Ladd McConkey and Keenan Allen, with Tre' Harris on hand should there be any setbacks.
The 49ers' Ricky Pearsall (knee) is off the injury report after practicing in limited fashion Wednesday and Thursday and closing out the week with a full Friday practice following a six-game absence due to a knee injury. It remains to be seen if Pearsall will be afforded a normal snap allotment after the long layoff, but his return will result in a hit to Kendrick Bourne's opportunities.
The Titans' Calvin Ridley (hamstring) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Texans after practicing in limited fashion all week. As per Saturday night reports, Ridley is expected to make his return from a three-game absence and likely bump Chimere Dike back down to a No. 3 role
The Giants' Darius Slayton (hamstring) is out for Sunday's game against the Packers after missing practice all week. In his absence versus Green Bay, Gunner Olszewski and Jalin Hyatt could serve as the main targets behind Wan'Dale Robinson for Week 11 starter Jameis Winston, although veteran and recent returnee Isaiah Hodgins, who's familiar with the overall offensive scheme, is also likely to be active and see his fair share of targets.
The Seahawks' Tory Horton (groin) is out for Sunday's game against the Rams getting only a limited Wednesday practice in this week. In Horton's absence, Jake Bobo and Cody White are likely to share No. 4 receiver snaps behind the top trio of Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Cooper Kupp and Rashid Shaheed.
The Ravens' Rashod Bateman (ankle) is out for Sunday's game against the Browns after missing practice all week. In Bateman's absence, DeAndre Hopkins is likely to operate as the No. 2 receiver alongside Zay Flowers, with Tylan Wallace bumping up to the No. 3 role.
The Broncos' Marvin Mims is off the injury report for Sunday's game against the Chiefs after practicing in full all week following a two-game absence due to a concussion. In his return versus Kansas City, Mims will return to his customary No. 3 role behind Courtland Sutton and Troy Franklin, bumping rookie Pat Bryant down to the No. 4 role.
The Browns' Isaiah Bond is off the injury report for Sunday's game against the Ravens after practicing in limited fashion twice before putting in a full Friday practice following a one-game absence due to a foot injury. In his return, the rookie will slot back into the No. 3 receiver role behind Jerry Jeudy and Cedric Tillman.
The Bills' Joshua Palmer is off the injury report for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers after practicing in full all week following a three-game absence due to knee and ankle injuries. In his return, Palmer should resume his No. 3 receiver role behind Khalil Shakir and Keon Coleman.
The Cardinals' Zay Jones (Achilles) was placed on injured reserve Wednesday, sidelining him for the rest of the season. In the veteran's absence the rest of the way, Xavier Weaver is expected to get the first chance at operating as Arizona's No. 4 receiver.
The Packers' Savion Williams (foot) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Giants after practicing in limited fashion all week. If Williams can't suit up, Bo Melton will be in line to serve as the No. 5 receiver for Green Bay.
The Lions' Isaac TeSlaa (oblique) is questionable for Sunday night's game against the Eagles despite practicing in full all week. If TeSlaa can't play, Dominic Lovett could serve as Detroit's No. 4 receiver.
The Steelers' Scotty Miller (finger) is off the injury report for Sunday's game against the Bengals after practicing in full all week following a three-game absence due to a finger injury. In his absence, Miller is projected to return to a No. 4 receiver role.
The Packers' Malik Heath (coach's decision) is out for Sunday's game against the Giants. In his absence, rookie Savion Williams (foot) and Dontayvion Wicks will be in line for added opportunity in their reserve roles.
The Panthers' Brycen Tremayne is off the injury report for Sunday's game against the Falcons after practicing in full all week following a Week 10 absence due to a hip injury. In his return versus Atlanta, Tremayne will slot back into a No. 5 receiver role.
TIGHT ENDS
The Lions' Sam LaPorta (knee) was placed on injured reserve Saturday, sidelining him for the next four games at minimum. In his absence beginning with Sunday night's showdown against the Eagles, Brock Wright (ankle) is expected to serve as Detroit's top tight end if healthy, while more targets could be available for Amon-Ra St. Brown, Jameson Williams and Jahmyr Gibbs, among others, depending on matchup.
The Bills' Dalton Kincaid (hamstring) is out for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers after missing practice all week. In his absence versus Tampa Bay, Dawson Knox and rookie Jackson Hawes should be set to absorb all of Buffalo's tight-end snaps, while Khalil Shakir, Keon Coleman and Joshua Palmer could be among those who see a bump in targets.
The Vikings' Josh Oliver is off the injury report for Sunday's game against the Bears after recording consecutive limited practices and a full Friday practice following a two-game absence due to a foot injury. In his return against Chicago, Oliver should slide back into his usual No. 2 role behind T.J. Hockenson.
The Jaguars' Hunter Long (hip) remains out for Sunday's game against the Chargers but finished the week with consecutive limited practices following a Wednesday absence. In his ongoing absence, Johnny Mundt and Quintin Morris are expected to handle the majority of tight-end reps for Jacksonville.
The Lions' Brock Wright (ankle) is questionable for Sunday night's game against the Eagles but finished the week with a pair of limited practices following a Wednesday absence. Assuming Wright is available versus Philadelphia, he'll be in line to serve as the top tight end due to Sam LaPorta (back) having been placed on injured reserve. In the event of any setback for Wright, journeyman Ross Dwelley will be the only available player at the position versus Philadelphia.
The Texans' Cade Stover (foot) was activated from injured reserve Saturday and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Titans after opening the week with consecutive limited practices followed by a full session Friday. If Stover can play versus Tennessee, he'll be projected for a modest role behind Dalton Schultz.
KICKERS
The Texans' Ka'imi Fairbairn (quadriceps) remains out for Sunday's game against the Titans after missing practice all week. Matthew Wright, who made a field-goal and extra-point attempt apiece while filling in for Fairbairn against the Jaguars in Week 10, will once again serve as Houston's placekicker versus Tennessee.
The Packers' Brandon McManus (quadriceps) is doubtful for Sunday's game against the Giants after being added to the injury report Saturday. In McManus' likely absence, Lucas Havrisik, who's gone 4-for-4 on field-goal attempts and 6-for-6 on PATs while filling in for McManus in two previous games this season, will serve as Green Bay's placekicker versus New York.
The Giants' Graham Gano (neck) was placed on injured reserve Wednesday, ending his season. In his absence beginning with Sunday's game against the Packers, Younghoe Koo, who went 2-for-2 on field-goal attempts and 2-for-2 on PATs in Gano's stead in Week 10 against the Bears, will serve as New York's placekicker.
