NFL Player News

Myarick (hip) is active for Sunday's game against the Bears, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Myarick was questionable due to the hip injury but has been cleared to take the field. The 26-year-old should fill his usual role as New York's No. 3 tight end with Evan Engram and Kyle Rudolph healthy.

Holtz (personal) is inactive Sunday against the Giants.

Holtz was considered doubtful after not being with the team Thursday or Friday due to the personal matter. As he mainly contributes on special teams, Holtz' absence shouldn't impact the Bears' game plan when they host the Giants on Sunday.

The Browns placed Forristall on the practice squad injured list Saturday with a hamstring injury.

Forristall re-signed with Cleveland's practice squad earlier in the weekend. The 23-year-old will need to be on the injured list for at least three weeks, so his only chance of seeing the field again this season is if the Browns make the playoffs.

Tremble (illness) won't be available for Sunday's game in New Orleans after the Panthers didn't activate him from the reserve/COVID-19 list prior to Saturday's deadline for week 17 roster moves, Jonathan M. Alexander of The Charlotte Observer reports.

Considering Tremble was placed on the list Friday, he was never likely to test out of the NFL's COVID-19 return-to-play protocol 48 hours later. Ian Thomas is expected to replace Tremble as the Panthers' starting tight end Sunday, though he likely won't see as much involvement in the passing game.

Hurst (illness) won't be available for Sunday's game against the Bills after the Falcons didn't activate him from the reserve/COVID-19 list prior to Saturday's deadline for Week 17 roster moves, D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Hurst is one of two key Atlanta pass catchers that will remain on the list for the Week 17 contest, joining receiver Tajae Sharpe (illness). The blocking-oriented Lee Smith will serve as the top backup to starting tight end Kyle Pitts, while Sharpe's absence will likely allow Olamide Zaccheaus and Christian Blake to join Russell Gage in three-receiver sets.

Wright (illness) won't be available for Sunday's game in Seattle after the Lions didn't activate him from the reserve/COVID-19 list prior to Saturday's deadline for week 17 roster moves, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Detroit will be without three of its top pass catchers in Wright and wideouts Josh Reynolds and Kalif Raymond, all of whom tested positive for the virus this week and weren't able to exit the NFL's COVID-19 return-to-play protocol. With both T.J. Hockenson (thumb) and Shane Zylstra (kneecap) done for the season, Wright was expected to dominate the snaps at tight end for Detroit's final two games before he landed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Tuesday. With Wright out this week, the Lions will likely turn to a combination of Jared Pinkney and Ross Travis to play snaps at the position.

Conklin (hamstring), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at Green Bay, is expected to play, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Conklin was able to put in a full practice Friday, so he looks set to play. Quarterback play may be the larger issue for Conklin, with Sean Mannion set to make his first start since 2019 with Kirk Cousins on the reserve/COVID-19 list.

Thompson was elevated from the practice squad Saturday, Aaron Wilson of Sportstalk 790 Houston reports.

Thompson makes the jump with Tommy Tremble due to sit out because of COVID. The 28-year-old has appeared in 10 games for the Panthers this season but has drawn just one target all year.

Wells was elevated from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday, Aaron Wilson of Sportstalk 790 Houston reports.

Wells' elevation seems to indicate Demetrius Harris (shoulder) is unlikely to play. The San Diego State product has played just one snap in one game all year.

Waller (knee/back) remains on the reserve/COVID-19 list in advance of Sunday's game against the Colts.

Until Waller, who had been dealing with knee and back issues prior to being placed on the list, clears the NFL's COVID protocols, Foster Moreau is slated to head the Raiders' tight end corps, with Nick Bowers and Daniel Helm in reserve.
