Talanoa Hufanga SAF | DEN
Broncos' Talanoa Hufanga: Iffy for Sunday with illness
Hufanga was added to the Denver injury report and is listed as questionable to play Sunday against the Commanders due to an illness, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.
Hufanga's status for Sunday's game won't be officially known until Denver announces its list of inactive players approximately 90 minutes before the 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff. If Hufanga can't play Week 13, Devon Key would likely be first in line to replace him as one of Denver's starting safeties.

Jayden Daniels QB | WAS
Commanders' Jayden Daniels: Week 14 status TBD
Daniels (left elbow), who is out for Sunday night's game against the Broncos after being limited at practice this week, has yet to be cleared for contact, but has a "chance" to play next weekend against the Vikings, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Per Adam Schefter of ESPN, while it remains unclear if Daniels -- who dislocated his non-throwing elbow in Week 9 -- will be available to face Minnesota, the QB has said that, if he's healthy, he would like to play. For now, Marcus Mariota will continue to handle the Commanders' starting signal-caller duties.

Aaron Rodgers QB | PIT
Steelers' Aaron Rodgers: Playing through three fractures
Rodgers will start Sunday's game against the Bills but will be playing through at least three non-displaced fractures in his left wrist, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Rodgers suffered the injury in the Steelers' Week 11 win over the Bengals and was forced to miss his first game of the season in last Sunday's loss to the Bears, though he appeared to make a strong bid to be available for that contest. Mason Rudolph ultimately drew the start against Chicago, but he'll be returning to a backup role Sunday after Rodgers was able to show enough improvement over the course of Week 13 prep to gain clearance to play. Rodgers is still likely to don some sort of protective brace on his non-throwing wrist Sunday to guard against further injury.

Tyler Warren TE | IND
Colts' Tyler Warren: Trending toward playing Sunday
Warren (illness) remains listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Texans, but the Colts have "cautious optimism" that the tight end will play, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Warren didn't miss any practice time during Week 13 prep before he was surprisingly added to the injury report Saturday due to the illness, which Pelissero relays is a stomach issue. The standout rookie was re-evaluated earlier Sunday, and while the Colts haven't provided an update on his status, he appears to have made enough progress overnight to put himself on a path to play. Official word on Warren's availability will be made when the Colts release their inactive list 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff.

Jalen McMillan WR | TB
Buccaneers' Jalen McMillan: Appears set to practice in Week 14
McMillan (neck) received clearance from a spine specialist to resume on-field work and is expected to return to practice in Week 14, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
McMillan has resided on injured reserve all season after he sustained three neck fractures as well as ligament damage during an Aug. 16 preseason game against the Steelers, per Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times. The ligament damage in particular took the longest time to heal and required McMillan to wear a neck brace for an extended period, but the second-year wideout has finally turned a corner in his recovery and could provide some aid to the Tampa Bay passing attack down the stretch. McMillan excelled in a complementary role as a rookie, appearing in 13 games while finishing with 37 catches for 461 yards and eight touchdowns on 58 targets.

Jonathan Greenard LB | PHI
Vikings' Jonathan Greenard: On track to play Sunday
Greenard (shoulder) remains listed as questionable but is expected to play Sunday in Seattle, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Greenard took a designation into the weekend after he was a limited participant in practice Wednesday through Friday, but he looks like he's on track to be cleared ahead of Sunday's 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff. After tallying at least 12.0 sacks in both of the previous two seasons, Greenard has been limited to just two through nine appearances with Minnesota in 2025.

Sydney Brown SAF | ATL
Eagles' Sydney Brown: Logs six stops in starting role
Brown finished Friday's Week 13 loss to Chicago with six tackles (three solo).
Brown was on the field for all but two of Philadelphia's 87 defensive snaps as he moved into a starting role as a result of Andrew Mukuba (ankle) landing on IR on Wednesday. Mukuba could very well be out for the remainder of the season, so Brown figures to retain the starting role moving forward. Prior to Friday, he had been working mostly on special teams this season.

Nolan Smith LB | PHI
Eagles' Nolan Smith: Takes down QB in loss Friday
Smith secured three tackles, including 1.0 sacks, in Friday's Week 13 loss to the Bears.
Smith logged a sack of Caleb Williams early in the third quarter that helped hold Chicago to a three-and-out. Smith added another QB hit and finished with three stops for the second straight game, both one short of his season high of four tackles in Week 1. He has 19 tackles, including 2.0 sacks, through seven contests on the campaign.
