Aaron Brewer C | MIA
Dolphins' Aaron Brewer: Iffy to face Jets
Brewer (ankle) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Jets.
Brewer is on the injury report with knee, neck and ankle issues, but he was still able to practice in at least some capacity throughout the week. Nevertheless, it remains unclear if he'll be able to suit up against the Jets.

Jaylen Reed SAF | HOU
Texans' Jaylen Reed: Won't play vs. Kansas City
Reed (forearm) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Chiefs.
Reed was unable to practice all week while recovering from a procedure for a broken metal plate in his forearm that he suffered during the Texans' Week 13 win over the Colts. A timeline for his return hasn't been established, but his next opportunity to play is Week 15 against the Cardinals on Sunday, Dec. 14. Reed got the start safety in Week 13 against the Colts, and in his absence, Jalen Pitre is likely to shift over to safety alongside Calen Bullock while Myles Bryant serves as the slot corner.

Chris Godwin WR | TB
Buccaneers' Chris Godwin: Clear for Sunday's contest
Godwin (fibula) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game versus the Saints, Brianna Dix of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
Godwin followed up Wednesday's limited walkthrough with a full session Thursday and another limited practice Friday, but his lingering fibula injury won't impact his availability for Week 14. Meanwhile, fellow WRs Mike Evans (collarbone) and Jalen McMillan (neck), both of whom were designated for return from injured reserve this week, were ruled out, meaning Godwin's competition for targets Sunday will include WRs Emeka Egbuka, Tez Johnson and Sterling Shepard, TE Cade Otton and RBs Bucky Irving and Rachaad White.

Olamide Zaccheaus WR | ATL
Bears' Olamide Zaccheaus: Could have bigger role Week 14
Zaccheaus may be in line for more targets Sunday versus Green Bay with Rome Odunze (foot) ruled out, Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com reports.
Zaccheaus began the season promisingly with four catches for 42 yards against Minnesota in Week 1, but he's surpassed that yardage total just once since. Over his past four games, he's been almost entirely a non-factor with just four total catches (on eight targets) for 30 yards. However, Odunze's absence should open up more opportunities for multiple Bears pass catchers, including wideouts Zaccheaus, Luther Burden and DJ Moore as well as tight ends Colston Loveland and Cole Kmet. With that being said, the Packers rank in the top half league-wide in most categories versus wide receivers, so Chicago's struggling passing game could be challenged to produce.

Kelvin Beachum OT | ARI
Cardinals' Kelvin Beachum: Questionable to face Rams
Beachum (groin) is listed as questionable to face the Rams on Sunday, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.
Beachum has been dealing with the groin injury since Week 11 but has managed to play in each game since. He logged a pair of limited practices to close the week, likely setting him up to be active Sunday.

Baker Mayfield QB | TB
Buccaneers' Baker Mayfield: Set for Week 14 action
Mayfield (left shoulder) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game against the Saints, Brianna Dix of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
Mayfield opened Week 14 prep with a limited walkthrough Wednesday due to the AC joint sprain that he suffered in his left shoulder during a Week 12 loss at the Rams. He capped the week with full sessions Thursday and Friday, clearing him to suit up again Sunday. Mayfield's available skill-position talent will be composed of RBs Bucky Irving and Rachaad White, WRs Emeka Egbuka, Chris Godwin, Tez Johnson and Sterling Shepard and TE Cade Otton after WRs Mike Evans (collarbone) and Jalen McMillan (neck), both of whom were designated to return from IR this week, were ruled out by Tampa Bay.

Christian Jones OT | ARI
Cardinals' Christian Jones: Still sidelined
Jones (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Rams, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.
Jones has been on injured reserve since late August but returned to practice Nov. 26. He logged limited practices all week, but he will miss at least one more game.
-
L.J. Collier DE | ARI
Cardinals' L.J. Collier: Not ready to return
Collier (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Rams, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.
Collier has been sidelined since Week 3 and returned to practice Wednesday. He logged a pair of limited practices before sitting Friday, so it's unclear how close he is to a return.

Qwan'tez Stiggers DB | NYJ
Jets' Qwan'tez Stiggers: Questionable to play vs. Miami
Stiggers (concussion) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Dolphins.
Stiggers ended the week strongly with a full practice Friday, though he'll need to pass an assessment from an independent neurologist in order to be cleared to play in Sunday's game. The second-year cornerback has accumulated eight tackles (four solo) and one fumble recovery through 11 regular-season games while contributing mostly on special teams.

Chuma Edoga OT | JAC
Jaguars' Chuma Edoga: Returning after one-game absence
Edoga (calf) does not have an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Colts, Demetrius Harvey of The Florida Times-Union reports.
Edoga was held out of Jacksonville's Week 13 win over the Titans, but he'll be ready to return after logging three limited practices. He'll serve in a reserve role along the team's offensive line.
