Michael Roberts (shoulder) is listed as questionable for tomorrow.

Roberts was able to get on the practice field on a limited basis in a short week, so he should be at least a game-time call tomorrow. If he does play, it’ll be difficult to trust him against a stingy Bears defense, though.

Kerryon Johnson (knee) has been ruled out for Thanksgiving.

This isn’t surprising considering Johnson just suffered his knee injury a few days ago, but it’s unfortunate he won’t be able to play his first Thanksgiving game tomorrow. The impressive rookie running back is considered week-t0-week, but he probably has a chance to return to the field in Week 13 against the Rams. LeGarrette Blount and Theo Riddick will handle most of the backfield work for Detroit tomorrow against Chicago.

Marvin Jones (knee) is officially out for tomorrow’s game.

After missing last Sunday’s game with the knee injury suffered in Week 10, it was going to be tough for Jones to get back on the field on a short week. Next Sunday against the Rams has been a more realistic return-date target, but he should be considered questionable at best for now. Kenny Golladay will again be Matthew Stafford’s no-doubt No. 1 receiver tomorrow against the Bears, and he is a strong WR2 option for Week 12 fantasy lineups.

Samaje Perine (calf) is listed as questionable to face the Cowboys.

Perine was limited the last two days in practice with his calf injury, so he appears to have a shot to play in tomorrow’s Thanksgiving matchup. The second-year running back won’t be a recommended fantasy option even if he is active, though, as Adrian Peterson gets most of the carries in Washington’s backfield.

Jamison Crowder (ankle) is officially listed as questionable for Week 12.

Crowder has missed seven straight games with his ankle injury, but he looks to have a chance to suit up on Thanksgiving despite not practicing all week. Crowder wouldn’t be a highly-recommended fantasy option in his first game back in the lineup against a tough Cowboys defense, but his presence would be a boost for his team in real life. His official game status will be known by 3:00 PM ET tomorrow.

11/21/18 - 02:06 PM ET

Chris Thompson (rib) has officially been ruled out for tomorrow.

This is Thompson’s fourth straight missed game while dealing with rib injuries to both sides. Adrian Peterson will handle most of the work in Washington’s backfield, with Kapri Bibbs and potentially Samaje Perine (calf, questionable) mixing in behind him tomorrow against Dallas. Hopefully Thompson is able to return to the lineup for a big Monday night matchup against the Eagles in a couple of weeks.

Jake Kumerow (shoulder) has returned to practice.

This means Kumerow, who was placed on injured reserve before the regular season because of a shoulder injury suffered in the preseason, is Green Bay’s second designated-to-return player from injured reserve. Kumerow had a strong preseason with 190 yards, and he’s someone to keep an eye on—particularly in dynasty leagues—but he doesn’t need to be picked up in standard redraft leagues. Kumerow now has 21 days to be activated to the 53-man roster or remain on IR for the rest of the season. This also rules out Geronimo Allison (groin) returning in 2018.
