Shavers caught his only target for 16 yards in Sunday's 39-34 win over the Bengals.

Shavers finished one offensive snap behind Gabe Davis (37) for the team lead at his position, but he was still limited to just one target in Week 14. Shavers has carved out a nice role for himself with Buffalo's offense, but Sunday's catch was his first since Week 11. The wideout will look to get more opportunities in the team's divisional battle with the Patriots in Week 15.

The Chargers waived Jones on Monday.

The Chargers jettisoned both Jones and running back Jaret Patterson on Monday to make room on the 53-man roster after Omario Hamption (ankle) and Hassan Haskins (hamstring) were both activated from injured reserve. Jones was a healthy scratch in Weeks 11 and 13, and in eight regular-season games for the Chargers he accumulated 10 tackles (six solo) and one pass defense. Assuming he clears waivers, Jones could opt to stay in Los Angeles as a member of the practice squad or look to join a team in need of depth on the defensive line.

Cooks failed to compile any stats while playing 23 snaps on offense in Sunday's 39-34 win over the Bengals.

Cooks saw one look from Josh Allen on the day, ultimately drawing a pass interference penalty on cornerback DJ Turner early in the third quarter, so it didn't qualify as a target officially. The wide receiver finished fourth on the team at his position in offensive snaps, sitting behind Gabe Davis (37), Tyrell Shavers (36) and Khalil Shakir (32) but ahead of Keon Coleman (18). Cooks figures to have limited upside moving forward while operating as low as he does on the depth chart.

The Chargers placed Fisk (ankle) on injured reserve Monday.

Fisk was already ruled out for Monday night's game against the Eagles due to an ankle injury, which is severe enough for him to warrant a stint on injured reserve. He'll be required to miss at least four games, which means Week 18 against the Broncos on Sunday, Jan. 4 is the earliest he can return. With Fisk on IR and Tyler Conklin (coach's decision) a healthy inactive for Week 14, the Chargers will go with two tight ends on the active roster Monday in Will Dissly and rookie fifth-rounder Oronde Gadsden.

Davis didn't record a carry or target during Sunday's 39-34 win over the Bengals but returned four kickoffs for 84 yards.

Davis rushed for a season-high 62 yards on nine carries during the Bills' Week 13 win over the Steelers. However, he saw the field for 10 total snaps Sunday (four on offense, six on special teams), and the only time he touched the ball was on kickoffs as a returner. Ty Johnson, in contrast, played 16 snaps on offense and finished with two carries for 25 yards and two catches (on three targets) for 14 yards. Davis and Johnson both worked behind James Cook out of the backfield, and that trend should continue in this Sunday's AFC East tilt against the Patriots.

Howell (coach's decision) is inactive but operating as the Eagles' emergency third quarterback for Monday night's contest against the Chargers.

Howell is set to serve as the team's No. 3 option at QB behind starter Jalen Hurts and backup Tanner McKee, a role he's operated in throughout the season. Howell has yet to appear in a regular-season game, and both Hurts and McKee would have to be sidelined for him to do so in Week 14.

Conklin (coach's decision) is inactive for Monday night's matchup with the Eagles, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.

Conklin will be a healthy scratch for the first time this season after he combined to log just two offensive snaps over the team's last two games. Oronde Gadsden and Will Dissly will handle all the work at tight end against Philadelphia.

Epps (shoulder) was activated from injured reserve by the Eagles and is active for Monday night's game against the Chargers.

Epps will make his return to action Monday night against the Chargers following a four-game absence with a shoulder issue. The 29-year-old will be back in his role as a top reserve option behind Reed Blankenship and Sydney Brown at safety versus Los Angeles.

The Chargers elevated Campbell (coach's decision) from the practice squad to the active roster, but he is inactive for Monday night's game against the Eagles.

Campbell joined the Chargers' practice squad in mid-October after being waived from injured reserve by the Panthers. Monday was his first elevation to the 53-man roster, but he'll be a healthy inactive as the Chargers go with five active wide receivers in Ladd McConkey, Quentin Johnston, Keenan Allen, Tre' Harris and Derius Davis.

The Chargers activated Ogbonnia (elbow) from injured reserve, and he is active for Monday night's game against the Eagles, Eric Smith of the Chargers' official site reports.

Ogbonnia has been officially cleared to return Monday from a five-game absence due to an elbow injury, and he'll join Scott Matlock as the Chargers' rotational options at defensive end behind starters Justin Eboigbe and Da'Shawn Hand. Ogbonnia logged one solo tackle across the four regular-season games prior to his placement on IR in late October.
