Dallas Cowboys at Atlanta Falcons (-2.5)
- Cowboys:
- Falcons: LB JD Bertrand (concussion), DT Ruke Orhorhoro (ankle) OUT; LB Troy Andersen (knee), G Chris Lindstrom (knee) QUESTIONABLE
Another light injury report for the Falcons, as Lindstrom was a full participant Friday despite the questionable designation. Safety Justin Simmons (hamstring) was not given an injury designation.
Miami Dolphins at Buffalo Bills (-6)
- Dolphins:
- Bills: FB Reggie Gilliam (hip) OUT; CB Christian Benford (wrist), WR Amari Cooper (wrist), WR Curtis Samuel (pectoral) QUESTIONABLE
The Bills may not have Amari Cooper this week, as he was limited in practice Friday. Cooper will be a game-time decision, as the Bills depth at wide receiver will be severely tested, as they might have to elevate a wideout from the practice squad.
Las Vegas Raiders at Cincinnati Bengals (-7)
- Raiders: C Andre James (ankle) OUT; G Dylan Parham (foot), LB Robert Spillane (knee), RB Zamir White (quad) QUESTIONABLE
- Bengals: T Orlando Brown Jr.. (knee/fibula), RB Zack Moss (neck), WR Tee Higgins (quad) DOUBTFUL; WR Charlie Jones (groin), S Geno Stone (shin) QUESTIONABLE
For the Raiders, White appears set to play Sunday after being a full participant in practice. Defensive end Maxx Crosby (ankle) did not participate in Friday's practice, but was not given an injury designation.
The Bengals had two late additions to the injury report, as Moss did not practice Friday and is doubtful to play. Chase Brown would be in line for the No. 1 duties at running back. Stone also did not practice Friday after being limited Thursday, while Higgins didn't practice all week.
