The Patriots ruled out three offensive starters for Sunday’s game against the Colts.
Wide receiver DeVante Parker, center David Andrews and right tackle Marcus Cannon are officially out after missing every practice this week.
Running back Damien Harris, who missed practice Wednesday and Thursday, is officially questionable after returning to practice in a limited capacity Friday. He is one of seven players listed as questionable for kickoff.
In Indianapolis, the Colts ruled out star running back Jonathan Taylor, deemed only two players as questionable and cleared cornerback Stephon Gilmore to return to play.
TITANS: Quarterback Ryan Tannehill practiced in a limited fashion Friday, and Coach Mike Vrabel said the veteran likely will be a game-time decision Sunday night when the Titans visit the Kansas City Chiefs.
The Titans (5-2) listed Tannehill as questionable and still have a walk-through Saturday before flying to Kansas City. Tannehill was questionable a week ago before being ruled out ahead of Tennessee’s flight to Houston where rookie Malik Willis got his first NFL start.
Tennessee has an extra seven hours with the Sunday night kickoff against the Chiefs (5-2), which could be an advantage.
Tannehill sprained his right ankle in a win Oct. 23 over Indianapolis and left the stadium that day in a walking boot. He missed last week’s 17-10 win in Houston, snapping the 11-year veteran’s 49-game start streak for Tennessee.
The veteran said Wednesday his mobility while dealing with the pain would be the deciding factor.
With Tannehill staying in Nashville, Willis threw only 10 passes for 55 yards in his NFL debut while being sacked three times. The Titans won by handing off 32 times to two-time NFL rushing champ Derrick Henry, the most carries by a running back in a game this season.
JETS: Wide receiver Corey Davis will miss his second straight game with a knee injury, leaving quarterback Zach Wilson without one of his most reliable playmakers against the Buffalo Bills.
Davis was hurt two weeks ago early in New York’s 16-9 win at Denver, and he sat out last Sunday in the 22-17 loss at home to New England.
The nature of Davis’ injury isn’t clear, but Coach Robert Saleh indicated the wide receiver will return for the Jets’ next game on Nov. 20 at New England.
BEARS: Chicago activated left guard Cody Whitehair.
He had been on injured reserve since early October, when he hurt his right knee in a loss to the New York Giants on Oct. 2.
The 30-year-old has been a fixture on the Bears line at center and guard since they drafted him in the second round in 2016, starting 99 games.
PACKERS: All-Pro linebacker De’Vondre Campbell won’t play for Green Bay on Sunday at Detroit after injuring his right knee in a loss at Buffalo last weekend.
The Packers’ injury report Friday showed Campbell was ruled out for Sunday’s game. Campbell hadn’t practiced all week.
Reserve cornerback Shemar Jean-Charles (ankle) also has been ruled out. Offensive tackle David Bakhtiari (knee), guard Elgton Jenkins (knee/foot), wide receiver Allen Lazard (shoulder), outside linebacker Preston Smith (shoulder/neck) and wide receiver Christian Watson (concussion) are questionable.
CHARGERS: Los Angeles ruled out Keenan Allen for Sunday’s game at Atlanta due to continuing problems with his hamstring. Allen said he experienced a setback last week while doing a workout and didn’t practice all week.
Mike Williams suffered an ankle injury in the Oct. 23 loss to Seattle and is expected to miss at least the next three games.
Joshua Palmer and DeAndre Carter are expected to start in Allen and Williams’ place, but even that isn’t assured. Palmer came out of concussion protocol earlier this week and has been a full participant in practices, but Carter is questionable due to illness.
OBIT: All-Pro defensive lineman and two-time Washington Super Bowl champion Dave Butz has died. He was 72.
A spokesman for the Washington Commanders confirmed that Butz’s family informed the team about his death. It was not immediately known where Butz died or the cause of his death.
Butz spent 14 of his 16 NFL seasons with Washington after breaking into the league with the St. Louis Cardinals, where he played his first two years (1973 and 1974). As one of the league’s biggest players at the time at 6-foot-8 and nearly 300 pounds, he was a key part of Washington’s defense for the franchise’s first two Super Bowl-winning teams in the 1982 and 1987 seasons.
