NFL Player News

Irving (back/hip) is feeling much better than last week, even though he remains listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Chargers, Jay Glazer reported on "Fox NFL Sunday."

Irving was listed as questionable ahead of last Sunday's win over the Raiders and ultimately suited up, but he was limited to just 10 snaps before exiting the game early when his back tightened up. He's followed a similar practice progression this week compared to last, but his condition has reportedly improved. Though Irving should be cleared to play in advance of Sunday's 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff, he will be difficult to trust in the fantasy playoffs while he faces a tough road matchup.

Wilson (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Texans.

After he was inactive for a stretch of seven straight games from Weeks 5 through 12, Wilson had suited up for both of Miami's last two contests. He played just five snaps on offense between those two games, carrying one time for four yards and gaining seven yards on his lone reception. With Raheem Mostert (hip) back in action this Sunday after a one-game absence, Wilson will return to the inactive list while the Dolphins opt to have only three running backs dress for the Week 15 game.

Ali is active for Sunday's game against the Giants.

Ali will be active for the Ravens' second straight matchup after being a healthy scratch for 11 of the team's first 12 games. He has played exclusively on special teams, which likely will continue Sunday.

Mitchell (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Giants.

Mitchell returned from a torn ACL in Week 10 but played only three total offensive snaps in three games thereafter. He's now a healthy scratch for the second straight week, allowing Rasheen Ali to suit up for the third time on the campaign.

Johnson (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's matchup against the Jets.

Johnson will be inactive for the third straight game since Jacksonville's Week 12 bye. He played in each of the Jaguars' first 11 contests of the campaign but has fallen behind Keilan Robinson on the depth chart since Robinson returned from IR in mid-November.

Edwards-Helaire is inactive for Sunday's game against the Browns.

With Edwards-Helaire once again a healthy scratch for Kansas City, Isiah Pacheco, Kareem Hunt, Samaje Perine and Carson Steele are slated to handle the Chiefs' Week 15 backfield duties.

Pollard (ankle) is active for Sunday's game against the Bengals.

Pollard was officially listed as questionable for the matchup after his only practice participation was a limited session Friday. However, he'll suit up and presumably lead the Tennessee backfield in a matchup against a Cincinnati defensive line that has struggled in the absence of Sheldon Rankins (illness). Meanwhile, Pollard has topped 100 yards from scrimmage in three of the Titans' last six games.

Foreman (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's clash against Kansas City.

Foreman hasn't played since Week 8, as all of Nick Chubb, Jerome Ford and Pierre Strong are healthy and ahead of him on the running back depth chart. The veteran tailback's next chance to suit up will come next Sunday, Dec. 22 against Cincinnati.

Hall (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Jaguars, Randy Lange of the Jets' official site reports.

After sitting out last Sunday's 32-26 overtime loss to the Dolphins due to the knee injury, Hall will make his return to action in Week 15. The Jets held Hall out of their first two practices of the week while he continued to manage the injury, but he turned in a full session Friday before being listed as questionable heading into the weekend. Despite carrying the designation, Hall had been expected to play all along, though the extent of his role is difficult to project coming off the injury. While he should start, Hall may not handle the 70-plus-percent snap shares that have been typical for him this season and could instead cede more work than usual to backups Braelon Allen and Isaiah Davis.

Irving (back/hip), who is questionable for Sunday's game against the Chargers, is expected to suit up, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Irving played a season-low 10 offensive snaps last Sunday in a win over Las Vegas, and head coach Todd Bowles explained after the contest that the rookie's back tightened up during the victory. The Oregon product didn't practice at all Wednesday or Thursday this week, but he logged a limited session Friday, and that looks like it may be enough for him to take the field against Los Angeles. If Irving is in fact cleared when the Buccaneers release their inactive list 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff, he'll likely serve as the lead option on the ground as part of a backfield timeshare with Rachaad White, who should see plenty of involvement in a change-of-pace capacity.
