Kirk Cousins starts for the Vikings at Green Bay

Kevin O’Connell announced on Friday that Cousins will start Sunday’s game against the Packers. Murray did not practice all week with his hamstring injury and is one of five Vikings ruled out. Hockenson (wrist, chest) and Jennings (calf) are also out, which leaves Minnesota without two of its top pass catchers. Jordan Addison (thumb), Josh Metellus (shoulder) and Kyle Van Noy (calf) are questionable.

The Packers will play without Jacobs, who has a finger injury, and without Parsons, who is listed with knee and illness issues. Center Sean Rhyan (ankle) and tight end Josh Whyle (concussion) are also out, and linebacker Zaire Franklin (shin) is doubtful. Seven Packers are questionable, including McKinney (foot) and Zeitler (ankle, triceps). Zeitler did not practice on Friday after he was limited on Thursday.

49ers rule out Mike Evans, clear Deebo Samuel

Evans will miss Sunday’s game at Dallas with his Achilles injury, but Kyle Shanahan said the decision is about making sure it heals fully. Samuel is off the injury report. Trent Williams hurt his shoulder on Thursday and is questionable, along with Greenlaw (knee) and cornerbacks Deommodore Lenoir (foot), Renardo Green (back) and Upton Stout (shoulder, neck). Cornerback Nate Hobbs (groin) and defensive tackle C.J. West (knee), who are both still on injured reserve, are also listed as questionable.

For Dallas, Pickens practiced fully on Friday and has no designation, and DeMarvion Overshown is also clear. Porter (ankle, foot) is questionable after a limited practice. Bland was added to the report with an ankle injury and is questionable as well. Ferguson (knee, ankle), Donovan Ezeiruaku, P.J. Locke, Tyler Goodson and Jonathan Mingo are out, and safety Juanyeh Thomas is doubtful.

Drew Lock starts again as the Seahawks rule out Sam Darnold

Darnold (ribs, quadriceps) is out again, so Lock will make another start at Las Vegas. He is listed with elbow and oblique injuries but has no game status. Mike Macdonald said Lock had a good week. Left tackle Cross, left guard Nelson and defensive tackle Williams are also out, and Macdonald said Cross should be ready when Seattle returns from its bye in Week 12. Nobody else has a designation, so Shaheed and Nwosu should play after missing the last two games.

Texans without Harrison Jr. and Hunter at Cleveland

Houston ruled out five players, including Harrison Jr. (hamstring), Hunter (hamstring), Al-Shaair (groin, personal matter) and guard Rutledge (neck, shoulder). Anderson (ankle) did not practice on Friday and is questionable, but he still has a chance to play. Trent Brown, Wyatt Teller, Jacob Hummel, Jaylin Smith and David Montgomery are also questionable. Woody Marks is off the report. For the Browns, receiver Denzel Boston (toe) is questionable and Denzel Ward has no designation.

Kenneth Walker questionable for the Chiefs

Walker came in on Friday with a sore groin and did not practice, and Andy Reid said there was no decision yet for Sunday’s game in Atlanta. Running back Jaydn Ott and cornerback Mansoor Delane are also questionable, and Jaylon Moore, Peter Woods and Omarr Norman-Lott are out. Patrick Mahomes practiced fully and has no game status. The Falcons ruled out Zachariah Branch (hamstring) for a second straight game, listed Divine Deablo as doubtful and listed James Pearce Jr. as questionable.

Spencer Brown doubtful for the Bills, Garrett Wilson expected to play

Brown missed practice on Thursday and Friday and is doubtful for Sunday’s game at the Jets. Christian Benford is questionable even though he practiced fully on Friday. Sam Franklin Jr., Jordan Hancock and Tyrell Shavers are also questionable, and Hancock and Shavers would need to be activated first. For the Jets, Wilson (concussion) is questionable after full practices and is expected to play. Linebacker Trevin Wallace is the only Jet ruled out.

Around the league

The Saints ruled out right tackle Fuaga (knee), center McCoy (biceps), running back CJ Donaldson and defensive tackle Christen Miller. Fuaga and Miller were both hurt in practice this week. Travis Etienne is questionable. Carolina ruled out Okereke (foot) and listed Mike Jackson and Jonathon Brooks as doubtful.

The Colts ruled out six players against the Dolphins, including tackle Jalen Travis and tight end Mo Alie-Cox, and listed Arden Key and Will Mallory as questionable. The Cardinals ruled out center Hjalte Froholdt, guard Jon Gaines II and Zachary Carter for the Rams game. Myles Garrett is questionable for the Rams, but Sean McVay said he expects him to play. In Sunday night’s game, the Bengals ruled out Kyle Dugger and listed Andrei Iosivas as doubtful, and Steelers defensive tackle Derrick Harmon is questionable.

The Chargers and Ravens play on Monday night, so their game statuses come out on Saturday. Ladd McConkey did not practice for the Chargers on Friday, and safety Jaylinn Hawkins was the only Raven limited at Friday’s walkthrough.

What comes next

The Patriots and Lions kick off in Munich at 9:30 a.m. ET on Sunday (16:30 Cairo), and inactives for that game come out about 90 minutes earlier. Most other games start at 1 p.m. ET (20:00 Cairo). Teams can still make injured reserve moves and practice squad elevations on Saturday, and the Chargers and Ravens will post their game statuses for Monday night. For the Munich statuses and the earlier coach updates, see Friday’s early updates.
