Trey Hendrickson - SIC score 61

Injury: Left knee
Impact: Will play despite left knee MCL sprain at the end of W10 - good news he's playing but on a short week will be tough to be effective - likely on a snap count as well

Week 11 Opponent: Ravens

Team: Bengals

Nico Collins - SIC score 56

Injury: Calf
Impact: LP to start week with calf that kept him out in W10 - slight chance to get back for W11 but would be less than 100%

Week 11 Opponent: Cardinals 

Team: Texans

Matthew Stafford - SIC score 86 

Injury: Right thumb
Impact: Will return in W11 against the Seahawks - FP on Wednesday with his right thumb injury - should be able to play without a brace or tape - accuracy or rust could be issues

Week 11 Opponent: Seahawks 

Team: Rams

Justin Jefferson - SIC score 73

Injury: Hamstring
Impact: LP to start practice week ahead of W11 - likely to return but may not play 100% of snaps this week against Broncos - practice time with new QB Josh Dobbs will be the key to how effective he can be

Week 11 Opponent: Broncos

Team: Vikings

De’Von Achane - SIC score 81 

Injury: Right knee
Impact: Designated for return from IR for right knee MCL injury - expected to play this week against the Raiders but his practice pattern will be a better indication - MCL is key for cutting and he's unlikely to be 100% - 

Week 11 Opponent: Raiders 

Team: Dolphins

Justin Fields - SIC score 85

Injury: Right thumb
Impact: FP and will return in W11 against the Lions - likely to have some rust associated with the 5 weeks he missed - accuracy could be an issue in his first game back depending on his feel in practice

Week 11 Opponent: Lions 

Team: Bears

Dameon Pierce - SIC score 47

Injury: Ankle
Impact: DNP to start practice week ahead of W11 matchup with Cardinals - could be Devin Singletary for another week if Pierce doesn't at least get back on the practice field on Thursday

Week 11 Opponent: Cardinals

Team: Texans

Keenan Allen - SIC score 82 

Injury: Left shoulder
Impact: DNP Wednesday with a left shoulder injury he suffered W10 - returned and played through injury, indicating he's likely to do so this week as well

Week 11 Opponent: Packers 

Team: Chargers

K.J. Osborn - SIC score 88
