  • Rome Odunze WR | CHI

    Bears' Rome Odunze: Ruled out for Sunday

    Odunze (foot) has been ruled out for Sunday's game at Green Bay.

    There was no clear sign of trouble during last week's 24-15 win over the Eagles, in which Odunze handled an 80 percent snap share and 87 percent route share but finished with just two catches for eight yards on six targets. He likely was injured at some point during that game, as he hasn't practiced since and will now miss a contest for the first time in his NFL career. Luther Burden and Olamide Zaccheaus figure to get more playing time in Odunze's absence, with DJ Moore, Colston Loveland and Cole Kmet also among the potential beneficiaries in terms of target volume.

  • Drake London WR | ATL

    Falcons' Drake London: Ruled out for Week 14

    London has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Seattle, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

    London hasn't played or practiced since suffering a PCL sprain Week 11. Falcons coach Raheem Morris said Monday that the wideout had a chance to return for Week 14, but London never even made it back to practice and now faces a short turnaround with Atlanta playing on Thursday in Week 15.

  • Tutu Atwell WR | LAR

    Rams' Tutu Atwell: Unlikely to come off IR this week

    Atwell (hamstring) isn't expected to be activated from injured reserve for Sunday's game at Arizona, Nate Atkins of The Athletic reports.

    Atwell has been a full practice participant for the past two weeks, so this may be the equivalent of a healthy scratch. He can practice for another week without coming off injured reserve, but the Rams will need to activate him by mid-December if he's going to play again this season. Xavier Smith, Jordan Whittington and Konata Mumpfield have all seen playing time behind Puka Nacua and Davante Adams in recent weeks.

  • Drake London WR | ATL

    Falcons' Drake London: Not at practice Friday

    London (knee) isn't practicing Friday, Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com.

    Falcons coach Raheem Morris said Monday that London had a chance to play this week, but the wideout still hasn't returned to practice, making him unlikely to play Sunday against Seattle.

  • Rome Odunze WR | CHI

    Bears' Rome Odunze: Looking shaky for Sunday

    Bears head coach Ben Johnson didn't sound confident about Odunze (foot) playing in Sunday's game at Green Bay, according to Chris Emma of 670TheScore.com.

    Emma reports that Johnson was more optimistic about LB T.J. Edwards (hand/hamstring) than Odunze, who missed practice Wednesday and Thursday. Odunze was listed with heel and ankle injuries earlier this season, but he hasn't missed a game in his young NFL career.

  • Buccaneers' Jalen McMillan: Not playing this week

    McMillan (neck) won't return for Sunday's game against the Saints, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    As expected, with McMillan having logged just 2-3 limited practices after missing more than three months due to fractures and ligament damage in his neck. It's unclear what kind of role he'll have if he's ready to play in Week 15 or 16.

  • Mike Evans WR | TB

    Buccaneers' Mike Evans: Won't play this week

    Evans (collarbone) will not play Sunday against the Saints, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Evans returned to practice Wednesday after missing six weeks with a broken collarbone. He never seemed likely to play this week but might have a chance four days later for a Thursday home game against Atlanta. If not, Evans should at least be back for the Week 16 contest at Carolina on Sunday, Dec. 21. With Jalen McMillan (neck, IR) also out for at least one more game, Tampa's top wide receivers are Emeka Egbuka, Chris Godwin, Tez Johnson and Sterling Shepard.

  • Tee Higgins WR | CIN

    Bengals' Tee Higgins: Clears concussion protocol

    Higgins said Friday that he cleared the concussion protocol and is "full go" for Sunday's game at Buffalo, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.

    Higgins sustained a concussion Week 12 against the Patriots and sat out a Thanksgiving matchup with the Ravens on a short week, but his ability to progress from limited Wednesday to full Thursday signaled his progress through the protocol for head injuries. Now that he's spoken to the media, it's clear he gained clearance from an independent neurologist and will be available this weekend, when he'll be working with QB Joe Burrow for the first time since Week 2.

  • Greg Dortch WR | ARI

    Cardinals' Greg Dortch: Ruled out with chest injury

    Dortch (chest) and Marvin Harrison (heel) have been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Rams, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

    Dortch would've been in line for a significant role in Harrison's absence, which means the Cardinals are instead left with the likes of Andre Baccellia and Xavier Weaver (hamstring) behind Michael Wilson. It helps that TE Trey McBride is a de facto No. 1 receiver, but the lack of depth could make things tricky for QB Jacoby Brissett against a tough Rams defense.

  • Cardinals' Marvin Harrison: Ruled out for Sunday

    Harrison (heel) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Rams, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

    Harrison hasn't been practiced since injuring his heel in the second half of a Week 13 loss to Tampa Bay. It was his first game back from a two-week absence following an appendectomy, during which WR Michael Wilson caught 25 of 33 targets for 303 yards.
