Mundt (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against Indianapolis.

Mundt is healthy, but he's going to miss his first game of the season. The veteran tight end has produced eight catches on 17 targets for 95 yards through 12 games on the campaign. Mundt appears to be fourth in the Jaguars' tight-end pecking order behind Brenton Strange, Quintin Morris and Hunter Long.

Brown (personal) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Rams.

The Cardinals announced early Sunday that Brown will need to miss Sunday's matchup for personal reasons. Jon Gaines or Hayden Conner could get a start at left guard in Brown's absence.

Melifonwu (thumb/groin) is active for Sunday's matchup versus the Jets.

Melifonwu battled a pair of injuries this week but was a full participant in every practice. It's therefore no surprise that he'll play against New York despite being deemed questionable on Friday's final injury report. Melifonwu has seen his role on defense increase of late, as he's logged more than 50 percent of Miami's defensive snaps each of the past three games, and he posted a season-high seven tackles last Sunday against New Orleans.

Hall (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Titans.

Hall drew the questionable tag for Week 14 after his practice reps were limited due to a knee injury. The second-year defensive tackle has been cleared to play Sunday after going through pregame warmups, and he'll provide rotational depth behind starters Shelby Harris and rookie first-rounder Mason Graham.

Brewer (ankle/neck/knee) is active for Sunday's Week 14 matchup against the Jets.

Brewer battled a trio of injuries this week, but he managed an FP/LP/LP practice progression and is going to suit up against New York. He should therefore remain the Dolphins' starting center against the Jets.

McGuire (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Titans.

McGuire had his practice reps limited during Week 14 prep due to a knee injury, but the third-year defensive end has been cleared to play Sunday after going through pregame warmups. He has accumulated 29 tackles (17 solo), including 2.0 sacks, and one forced fumble through 12 regular-season games.

Jackson (ankle) is active for Sunday's game against the Commanders, Craig Peters of the Vikings' official site reports.

The rookie first-rounder has been cleared to return from a one-game absence due to an ankle injury. Jackson will return to his starting job at left guard while Blake Brandel provides depth at the position.

Wirfs (oblique) is inactive for Sunday's Week 14 clash against New Orleans, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

Wirfs suffered an oblique injury last Sunday versus the Cardinals and managed just one practice this week -- a limited session Friday. Though he was deemed questionable heading into the weekend, word surfaced late Saturday that he'd be held out of Sunday's contest. With that indeed being the case, Charlie Heck may take over at left tackle, or Tampa Bay could elect to slide Graham Barton over to the position.

Murray (foot) might never play for the Cardinals again, with the team treating him like the Broncos did with Russell Wilson a couple of seasons ago, Jay Glazer reported on Fox NFL Sunday.

Many have speculated that this might be Murray's fate, given that he wasn't initially expected to have a lengthy absence and then ended up on IR. The Cardinals will have an interesting offseason discussion, to say the least. Will they use a potential top-10 pick on a quarterback, shop for another veteran, or even bring back Jacoby Brissett? Meanwhile, Brissett will remain the starter the rest of this season.

Darrisaw (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Commanders, Craig Peters of the Vikings' official site reports.

Darrisaw has been cleared to return Sunday's from a three-game absence due to foot and knee injuries. He'll reclaim his starting job at left tackle, which means Justin Skule will revert to a reserve role for the Vikings' offensive line.
