Oakland at Baltimore (Sunday, 1:00 PM ET)
Oakland: For a second straight week, WR Martavis Bryant (knee) will be held out of the lineup after failing to be cleared for practice and. Joining him on the injury report, again, is WR Jordy Nelson (knee). Nelson has been listed as questionable, however there are rumblings about his consideration of retiring that make his status even cloudier than normal.
Baltimore: QB Joe Flacco (right hip) has been ruled out for a second straight week, meaning Lamar Jackson will get the go-ahead once again. Also, RB Alex Collins (foot) is listed as questionable on Friday’s injury report however he did practice fully on Friday. Though, after Gus Edwards performance last week, it seems unlikely Collins would have a full-workload even if he were 100%.
Jacksonville at Buffalo (Sunday, 1:00 PM ET)
Jacksonville: The biggest injury news for the Jaguars is on defense as DT Marcell Dareus (back) is questionable after returning to practice in a limited fashion on Friday.
Buffalo: The Bills should be getting their starting QB Josh Allen (elbow) back after practicing fully all week. TE Charles Clay (hamstring), however, shows as doubtful on the injury report as he hasn’t practiced all week.
Seattle at Carolina (Sunday, 1:00 PM ET)
Seattle: The final injury report for the Seahawks shows that WR Doug Baldwin (groin) and K.J. Wright (knee) were both absent from practice all week. For Baldwin, he’ll carry a questionable designation for Sunday’s game, however, Wright has already been ruled out.
Carolina: WR Devin Funchess (back) was the only player of fantasy relevance on the Panthers’ official injury report. He was held out of practice all week and is listed as doubtful for Week 12.
Cleveland at Cincinnati (Sunday, 1:00 PM ET)
Cleveland: TE David Njoku (knee) is questionable for this week after returning to practice n a full capacity on Friday. That’s a good sign for his availability this Sunday.
Cincinnati: There is another week of doubts over WR A.J. Green (toe). He and CB Dre Kirkpatrick missed all of the team practices this week and are listed as questionable on the team’s official injury report.
New England at New York Jets (Sunday, 1:00 PM ET)
New England: As usually, the Patriots’ injury report is murky at best as it came out on Friday that QB Tom Brady (knee) did not participate in Friday’s practice and is questionable for their matchup against the Jets. TE Rob Gronkowski (ankle/back) and RB Sony Michel (knee) are both listed as questionable as well after their limited participation in practice this week. It’s also worth noting that Gronkowski’s backup, Dwayne Allen (knee) will not be available either.
New York Jets: QB Sam Darnold (foot) will miss another week as Josh McCown will start in his place. WR Robby Anderson (ankle) is also listed on the official injury report as questionable after being limited in practice on Friday.

Fellow CB Rasul Douglas (knee/ankle) is listed as questionable after not practicing all week. LB Jordan Hicks (calf) and RB Darren Sproles (hamstring) have also been ruled out on the official injury report.

Tennessee at Houston (Monday, 8:15 PM ET)
Tennessee: After Mariota (neck) went down last week, it looked like he might miss some extended time, however, it does appear he’s on track to play as he was a full participant in Friday’s practice. Pay attention to reports on Saturday to confirm his status.
Houston: There is good news and bad news for the Texans going into the weekend. On one hand, they did not have any players miss practice so far this week. On the other hand, WRs Keke Coutee (hamstring) and DeAndre Hopkins (foot), Julie’n Davenport (shoulder), DE J.J. Watt (knee), CB Johnathan Joseph (ankle), and LBs Whitney Mercilus (ankle) and Duke Ejiofor (shoulder) were all limited in some capacity during practice this week and should all be checked upon before things finalize this weekend.
As always, injury information is a fluid element and should be treated as such. Things change between the final injury reports and game-time so make sure to stay alert and watch for news as we go through Week 12.
