The Commanders placed Lane (ankle) on injured reserve Monday.

The rookie fourth-rounder was already unlikely to play against the Cowboys on Christmas Day due to an ankle injury he sustained during Saturday's loss to the Eagles, and his placement on IR means he won't be available for Washington's final two games of the regular season. Lane will finish his first NFL regular season with 16 catches (on 32 targets) for 225 yards across 15 games, though he failed to record a reception in each of the four games following the Commanders' Week 12 bye. His impact was felt more on special teams as a returner, where he turned 23 punt returns into 314 yards and two touchdowns and logged 56 yards on three kickoff returns.

Watkins is active for Monday night's game against the Colts.

With Ricky Pearsall (knee) back on the shelf, Watkins is getting the nod Monday night. Watkins has appeared in three games this season, recording a pair of catches for 26 yards.

Thornton (concussion) was listed as a DNP on Monday's estimated practice report.

Both Thornton and fellow WR Rashee Rice have yet to log any on-field work since emerging from Week 15 action with concussions. As a result, it appears a stretch for either player to gain clearance from an independent neurologist ahead of Thursday's game against the Broncos. Xavier Worthy, Hollywood Brown, JuJu Smith-Schuster, Nikko Remigio and Jalen Royals are the Chiefs' current healthy options at the position.

Rice (concussion) was listed as a non-participant on Monday's practice estimate.

Rice entered the concussion protocol last week and hasn't logged any on-field work, real or otherwise, since then. With just three days remaining before Thursday's matchup with the Broncos, he seems like a stretch to gain clearance from an independent neurologist to be able to suit up for Week 17 action. Fellow WR Tyquan Thornton (concussion) also was listed as a DNP on Monday, so the Chiefs' current healthy options at the position are Xavier Worthy, Hollywood Brown, JuJu Smith-Schuster, Nikko Remigio and Jalen Royals.

Flournoy (knee) was estimated as a limited participant on Monday's injury report, Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.

Flournoy was forced out of Dallas' loss to the Chargers in Week 16 due to an illegal hit by Denzel Perryman, for which the opposing linebacker has been suspended two games. It's encouraging to see Flournoy already evidently healthy enough to be listed as handling limited practice reps, though the Cowboys only held a walkthrough Monday. For his part, the wideout indicated that he's going to try to play Thursday against the Commanders, Joe Hoyt of The Dallas Morning News notes, but chances are, Flournoy will approach the contest with an injury designation.

Turpin (shoulder) is listed as limited on Monday's estimated injury report, Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.

Turpin racked up an impressive 148 yards across six kickoff returns during Sunday's 34-17 loss to the Chargers, but he was otherwise limited to just four touches on offense, compiling 27 total yards. He'll have two more chances to upgrade to a full practice ahead of Thursday's divisional matchup against the Commanders.

Metcalf has been suspended two games for "conduct detrimental to the NFL for initiating a physical confrontation with a fan" during Sunday's game against the Lions, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

Per Adam Schefter of ESPN, Metcalf plans to appeal the suspension, but at this stage the wideout is slated to miss the Steelers' final two regular-season contests and would be eligible to return for the playoffs, should the team qualify. In Metcalf's looming absence, fellow WRs Calvin Austin (hamstring), Adam Thielen and Marquez Valdes-Scantling figure to see added opportunities, with TEs Darnell Washington, Pat Freiermuth and Jonnu Smith also candidates to absorb some of the targets that would otherwise go Metcalf's way.

Coach Jim Harbaugh noted Monday that Harris is "day-to-day"with a finger injury, Eric Smith of the Chargers' official site reports.

In Sunday's 34-17 win over the Cowboys, Harris logged a 45 percent snap share, while catching caught four of his five targets for 54 yards in the contest. With the wideout now managing a finger injury, added context regarding his status for this Saturday's game against the Texans is slated to arrive no later than the posting of Tuesday's injury practice/ injury report.

St. Brown (knee) is estimated as a non-participant on Monday's injury report.

Detroit held a walkthrough Monday, so St. Brown's lack of participation is only an estimation. The star wideout is coming off a 29-24 loss to the Steelers in which he secured four of nine targets for 54 yards and nearly added a touchdown, but he had the would-be score nullified by penalty. He now faces a short week of rest before Thursday's road matchup against the Vikings. St. Brown may have to resume practicing in at least a limited capacity Tuesday and/or Wednesday in order to be cleared for action on Christmas Day.

Sims failed to haul in his lone target while playing seven of the team's 57 snaps on offense in Sunday's 26-19 loss to the Falcons. He also returned two kickoffs for 55 yards.

Elevated from the practice squad for the first time all season ahead of the Week 16 contest, Sims ended up sharing the No. 4 receiver role with Jalen Brooks, as both players logged single-digit snaps in the loss. Sims made his greatest impact on special teams, where he should continue to be a factor as a return man if the Cardinals elevate him again for either or both of their final two games of the season.
