Josh Woods LB | ATL
Falcons' Josh Woods: No injury designation
Woods (hamstring) does not have an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Seahawks.
Woods practiced all week despite the injury, closing the week with a pair of limited practices. That will be enough for him to suit up for the first time since Week 10. Woods is likely to contribute only on special teams.

Calvin Anderson OT | PIT
Steelers' Calvin Anderson: Won't play at Baltimore
Anderson (knee) is officially listed as out for Sunday's game against the Ravens, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.
Anderson has been sidelined for all but one of the Steelers' games so far this season, and he'll miss another in Week 14. With regular starting left tackle Broderick Jones on injured reserve, Pittsburgh is perilously thin at offensive tackle behind Troy Fautanu and veteran journeyman Andrus Peat.

Levi Drake Rodriguez DL | MIN
Vikings' Levi Drake Rodriguez: Won't suit up vs. Commanders
Rodriguez (neck) is officially listed as out for Sunday's game versus Washington.
Rodriguez will miss his first game of the season in Week 14 because of a neck injury. In his absence, rookie fifth-rounder Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins figures to see an increase in snaps on the defensive line.

Brandon Dorlus DE | ATL
Falcons' Brandon Dorlus: Sidelined by groin issue
Dorlus (groin) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Seahawks, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.
Dorlus has played through an oblique issue the last few weeks, but he was unable to practice all week with the groin injury. He'll be forced to miss his first game of the season and will leave a void in Atlanta's pass rush after logging 4.5 sacks across his last five games.

Donovan Jackson G | MIN
Vikings' Donovan Jackson: Questionable for Sunday
Jackson (ankle) is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's game versus the Commanders.
Jackson was sidelined in Week 13 at Seattle with the ankle injury he suffered in Week 12 at Green Bay, and it seems his availability in Week 14 is close to a coin-flip proposition. If he can't suit up Sunday, Blake Brandel would project to make another start at guard.

DeMarcco Hellams SAF | ATL
Falcons' DeMarcco Hellams: Ruled out for Week 14
Hellams (hamstring) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Seahawks, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.
Hellams was unable to practice at all this week after apparently suffering a hamstring injury during Atlanta's Week 13 loss to the Jets. He's contributed almost exclusively on special teams this season.
-
Christian Darrisaw OT | MIN
Vikings' Christian Darrisaw: Questionable to play vs. Commanders
Darrisaw (knee) is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's game versus Washington.
Darrisaw was unable to play in Week 13 at Seattle because of a foot injury, but it's a knee issue that has him in danger of sitting out again in Week 14. If he can't go Sunday, Justin Skule would figure to make another start at tackle opposite veteran Brian O'Neill.
-
Taliese Fuaga OT | NO
Saints' Taliese Fuaga: Won't play at Tampa Bay
Fuaga (ankle) is out for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, Erin Summers of ESPN reports.
Fuaga has missed two of the Saints' last three games as he continues to recover from a high ankle sprain he suffered in Week 9 against the Rams, and he'll sit out again in Week 14. In his absence, 2023 fifth-rounder Asim Richards projects to start at right tackle Sunday.
-
Spencer Brown OT | BUF
Bills' Spencer Brown: Chance to return
Brown (shoulder) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Bengals.
Brown was held out of the Bills' Week 13 win over the Steelers due to a shoulder injury. He managed to log limited practices all week, so he appears to have a realistic chance to return and provide a boost to Buffalo's offensive line.

Donte Kent CB | PIT
Steelers' Donte Kent: Done for 2025
Kent's (ankle) will be sidelined for the rest of the 2025 season, Burt Lauten of the Steelers organization reports.
Kent was designated to return from a foot injury Wednesday, and he had 21 days to practice before he had to be activated. However, he suffered a new ankle injury, which is apparently severe enough to prevent him from playing for the rest of his rookie season. Kent has been sidelined since early in training camp.
