Kyu Blu Kelly CB | LV
Raiders' Kyu Blu Kelly: Carted off Sunday
Kelly (knee) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's contest against the Broncos.
Kelly was carted off the field after suffering a knee injury in the first quarter, and he'll now be sidelined for the rest of the day. In his absence, Darien Porter and Decamerion Richardson will likely operate in more significant roles at cornerback versus Denver.

T.J. Hockenson TE | MIN
Vikings' T.J. Hockenson: Gets into end zone Sunday
Hockenson caught two of three targets for 13 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 31-0 win over the Commanders.
While the veteran tight end didn't see much volume, Hockenson did haul in his first TD since Week 9 and third of the season on a two-yard toss from J.J. McCarthy in the fourth quarter. All three of McCarthy's career-high three touchdowns went to TEs, an encouraging sign for Hockenson in what has been a tough season overall. He'll look to reach 60 receiving yards for the first time in 2025 in a Week 15 clash with the Cowboys.

Jayden Daniels QB | WAS
Commanders' Jayden Daniels: Could have reentered Sunday's game
Coach Dan Quinn said after Sunday's 31-0 loss at Minnesota that Daniels (left elbow) could have returned to the game, but it was a coach's decision to keep him on the sideline, Ben Standig of Big 100 Washington D.C. reports.
Daniels took a hit to his previously dislocated left elbow on his interception in the third quarter and was in visible discomfort going to the medical tent. He was deemed questionable to return but never reentered the contest, with Marcus Mariota directing the Commanders offense the rest of the way. In what was his first game action since Week 9, Daniels finished with 78 yards, no touchdowns and one interception on 9-for-20 passing and four carries for 16 yards.

Elijah Arroyo TE | SEA
Seahawks' Elijah Arroyo: Additional testing upcoming
Arroyo (knee) will undergo more imaging in the near future to determine the severity of his injury, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Arroyo suffered a knee injury in the first half of the team's victory, ultimately failing to return to action. The rookie could be set to miss action moving forward, and if that's the case, Nick Kallerup would be a top candidate to operate as the top reserve option at tight end behind AJ Barner.

Joe Burrow QB | CIN
Bengals' Joe Burrow: Four TDs in high-scoring loss
Burrow completed 25 of 36 passes for 284 yards with four touchdowns and two interceptions in the Bengals' 39-34 loss to the Bills on Sunday.
Burrow was victimized by a pair of line-of-scrimmage interceptions on back-to-back plays in the fourth quarter, which ultimately turned the tide of the game. The Bills' Christian Benford made a stellar leaping grab of an attempted screen pass on the first pick, while A.J. Epenesa got ahold of a deflected throw in the second instance. Otherwise, Burrow's second game back after a long layoff saw the 2020 first-round pick thrive despite snowy conditions, connecting on a season-high four touchdown passes to Tee Higgins (21, 25 yards), Chase Brown (10 yards ) and Mike Gesicki (12 yards). Burrow will next face off with the same Ravens squad he upended in his Thanksgiving Night return when Baltimore pays a visit for a Week 15 matchup next Sunday.

Jordan Addison WR | MIN
Vikings' Jordan Addison: Leading receiver in Week 14 win
Addison caught four of seven targets for 62 yards in Sunday's 31-0 win over the Commanders.
With J.J. McCarthy back under center for the Vikings, Addison led the team in catches, targets and receiving yards, although all three of the QB's passing touchdowns went to tight ends instead of wideouts. Addison's yardage total was his highest since Week 7, and if McCarthy can stay healthy and gain confidence down the stretch, it would be good news for the team's entire passing attack. Addison could be positioned for a ceiling game in Week 15 against a vulnerable Cowboys defense.

Zach Ertz TE | WAS
Commanders' Zach Ertz: ACL tear feared
Coach Dan Quinn noted after Sunday's 31-0 loss to the Vikings that Ertz is feared to have torn his ACL, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Ertz is destined to undergo further testing to determine the extent of his knee injury, but it looks like the tight end is probably facing an extended absence. If that's the case, the Commanders would turn to John Bates, Ben Sinnott and Colson Yankoff to handle their TE duties down the stretch.

Justin Jefferson WR | MIN
Vikings' Justin Jefferson: Struggles continue in Week 14
Jefferson caught two of four targets for 11 yards in Sunday's 31-0 win over the Commanders.
For the second straight game, Jefferson failed to reach 20 receiving yards, but this time he didn't have an undrafted rookie under center as an excuse. J.J. McCarthy returned from a concussion in Week 14 and threw a career-high three TDs, but all three went to tight ends, while Jordan Addison was his top option with a 4-62-0 line on seven targets. Jefferson hasn't scored a touchdown himself since Week 9 and hasn't had a 100-yard performance since Week 5, but he gets another golden opportunity to break out in Week 15 against the Cowboys.

Brandon Pili DT | SEA
Seahawks' Brandon Pili: Avoids major injury
Pili (knee) is believed to have avoided a major injury in Sunday's 37-9 win over the Falcons, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Pili suffered a knee injury in the contest, but head coach Mike Macdonald said following the game that the defensive lineman is "okay," likely suggesting it's nothing major. The defensive lineman's status at practice next week will be worth monitoring.

Jordan Mason RB | MIN
Vikings' Jordan Mason: Gets into end zone in rout
Mason carried the ball 11 times for 52 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 31-0 win over the Commanders.
Aaron Jones saw a little more volume and gained a little more real estate with 14 carries for 76 yards, but Mason was the one who got into the end zone on an eight-yard dash in the second quarter. Mason also topped 50 rushing yards for the first time since Week 7, as he saw double-digit carries for the first time since Week 9. If the Minnesota backfield remains close to a 50-50 split again in Week 15, Mason stands a good chance of posting strong numbers against a vulnerable Cowboys defense.
