Baron (knee) is doubtful to return to Sunday's game against the Dolphins.

Baron had his knee injury briefly evaluated in the blue medical tent before being carted to the locker room. Micheal Clemons is set to see more rotational snaps at defensive end behind Will McDonald and Jermaine Johnson for the rest of Sunday's game, assuming Baron doesn't return.

Tuimoloau is being evaluated for a possible concussion and is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Jaguars.

Tuimoloau appeared to sustain the injury during kickoff coverage, and he is being evaluated by medical staff to determine whether he can return. With Tyquan Lewis (ankle) inactive, Samson Ebukam would serve as the Colts' lone rotational defensive end behind starters Kwity Paye and Laiatu Latu if Tuimoloau is ruled out.

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.
