Powell punted eight times in Thursday night’s loss to the Browns, averaging 45.5 yards per punt. He’s taking the fall as the Bills’ punt-coverage unit allowed Travis Benjamin to average 25.6 yards per return on seven tries. The Bills don’t play again for another nine days, so they have time to fill the spot.

Jake Curhan replaced Bates at guard. If Bates misses additional time, Curhan would be in line to play more. The Bears have hit a big rash of offensive line injuries of late.

Toney, who signed with the Browns in September, will be active for the first time in 2024 against New Orleans. He could see some usage on special teams as a returner along with a limited number of pass routes in the pass-first Browns offense. He should remain on waiver wires for now.

Jenkins and Amegadjie were ruled out on Friday. Montez Sweat (ankle) and Tarvarius Moore (concussion) are playing off questionable tags. Speed and Robinson are healthy scratches.

Evan Williams (hamstring) is also active, leaving the Packers secondary as healthy as it can be for a mouth-watering showdown against a struggling Bears offense that just fired its offensive coordinator. Inactive for the Packers are: CB Robert Rochell, S Kitan Oladapo, T Travis Glover, and DL Colby Wooden. Wooden (shoulder) is the only one of those that isn’t a healthy scratch.

Sneed continues to miss games for the Titans with a quad injury. His absence is great news for Justin Jefferson and this Vikings passing attack. The Titans also declared RB Josh Kelley, DB Justin Hardee, LB Cedric Gray, OL John Ojukwu, OL Leroy Watson, and TE David Martin-Robinson inactive.

Raimann popped up with a knee injury on Wednesday and did not practice all week. His status going forward remains extremely questionable. The only other Colts player who was questionable this week is E.J. Speed (knee), who is active. All other players here are healthy scratches, and Ehlinger is officially the third quarterback.

At this point, it’s fair to wonder if 2023 fourth-rounder Bennett will ever appear in an NFL game.

The former second-round pick has been out for personal reasons for a few weeks but is good to go for Week 11. With Harrison Bryant out, Mayer will slot in as Brock Bowers’ backup once again. Inactive for the Raiders are CB Nate Hobbs, C Andre James, TE Harrison Bryant, LG Cody Whitehair, RB Dylan Laube, S Trey Taylor, and DT Zach Carter.

No real surprises here. The Vikings are incredibly healthy other than the injury to OT Christian Darrishaw.

Foreman is once again a healthy scratch. That leaves Nick Chubb as the Browns’ lead back, with Jerome Ford chipping in on passing down duties. Chubb has struggled in his first couple games back from his 2023 knee injury but has a nice matchup Sunday against a struggling Saints front seven.
