The Bears claimed DeAndre Carter.

Carter was waived by the Texans yesterday, and he lands with a team in the NFC playoff mix. The Bears are currently on their bye week, so Carter will have time to get acclimated ahead of Week 12. He might instantly contribute on punt returns in particular.

Sammy Watkins (hamstring) was officially a full participant in today’s practice.

After missing the past four games, Watkins is ready to return to the lineup as the Chiefs come off the bye week. In a potential shootout this Sunday night, Watkins is immediately on the FLEX radar against a Raiders team he scored against earlier this year in the game he injured his hamstring and left early.

Joe Mixon (foot) officially did not practice today.

The Bengals continue to call Mixon day-to-day, but it’s difficult to feel good about his Week 11 status at this point. Mixon might need to get on the practice field tomorrow to have a legit shot to play on Sunday.

Chris Carson (foot) is unlikely to play on Thursday night, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.

Carson is going to be listed as questionable, but he will probably miss his third game in a row, which is unfortunate for fantasy owners that have been holding out hope for a quick return after reports suggested he might not miss any time at all. Carlos Hyde (hamstring) is expected to lead the backfield if he returns with Alex Collins and DeeJay Dallas both mixing in. The extra time to heal up could have Carson back in Week 12.

Tyler Lockett (knee, questionable) will play tomorrow night.

Head coach Pete Carroll says that Lockett will suit up despite the injury designation, but it’s pretty clear he will be at less than 100% after getting injured last week. That said, Lockett absolutely destroyed Arizona in the last meeting with 15 receptions, 200 yards, and three touchdowns, so he could again be the focal point on offense with D.K. Metcalf being shadowed by Patrick Peterson.

Matt Breida (hamstring) was a full participant in today’s practice.

After missing the past two games, Breida should be good to go for this Sunday against the Broncos assuming he suffers no setbacks over the next couple of days. Salvon Ahmed played well last week and will have a role, so the Dolphins backfield is somewhat difficult to gauge heading into Week 11. Breida might ultimately get a shot in the lead role.

Kenny Golladay (hip) was officially limited in today’s practice.

Any practice activity to start the week is a promising sign for Golladay as he looks to make his return to the lineup after missing the past two games. The star receiver could have been placed on injured reserve (forcing him to miss at least three games), so all indications appear pretty promising right now. Hopefully he can get up to a full practice participation by Friday.
