Samuel (elbow/neck) will not practice Wednesday, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports.

The 29-year-old missed the Bills' Week 12 loss to the Texans due to elbow and neck injuries, and following Wednesday's DNP, it appears he's still dealing with the issues. Samuel likely needs to practice in at least a limited capacity either Thursday or Friday in order to have a chance at returning for Sunday's matchup against the Steelers.

Kincaid (hamstring) won't practice Wednesday, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports.

While coach Sean McDermott noted this past Friday that Kincaid was improving, the tight end hasn't been able to practice since hurting his hamstring in Week 10. When asked Wednesday if Kincaid could return to action Sunday against the Steelers, McDermott replied, "We'll see, there's a chance." If Kincaid is unable to return this weekend, however, Dawson Knox and Jackson Hawes would continue to handle Buffalo's tight end duties in Week 13.

Roland-Wallace (back) has been ruled out ahead of Thursday's matchup against the Cowboys.

The USC product downgraded from limited practice Tuesday to a DNP on Wednesday, so it's no surprise that he won't suit up for Thursday's contest. Roland-Wallace has appeared in all 11 of Kansas City's games this season, recording 34 total tackles and three passes defensed, including one interception, over 351 total snaps (189 on defense, 162 on special teams). Nohl Williams could have an expanded role as a slot corner while Roland-Wallace is sidelined in Week 13.

Smith (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of Thursday's matchup against the Cowboys.

The 26-year-old sustained both high and low ankle sprains in the Chiefs' Week 12 win over the Colts, so it's no surprise that he won't suit up Thursday. While Smith is sidelined, expect Jaylon Moore to operate as Kansas City's top right guard.

Cardinals head coach Jonathan Gannon said Wednesday that Nolen (knee) won't play in Sunday's matchup against the Buccaneers, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

Nolen exited this past Sunday's overtime loss to the Jaguars due to a knee injury, and the Cardinals quickly determined that the rookie defensive tackle would need to miss at least one game. The 2025 first-round pick from Ole Miss has been a force when on the field, recording eight total tackles, a sack, and a fumble recovery for a touchdown through just four appearances.

Gray (concussion) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Cowboys.

Gray's next chance to see game action will arrive Dec. 7 against the Texans. In his absence Thursday afternoon, Robert Tonyanand Jared Wiley will be next in line for TE snaps that don't go to starter Travis Kelce.

Murray (neck) was designated to return from the injured reserve list Wednesday.

The 31-year-old had missed the Jaguars' last four games due to a neck injury, but it now appears he's nearing a return. Murray has 21 days to be added to Jacksonville's active roster before reverting to IR. Once fully healthy, he's expected to operate as the team's top strong safety, starting alongside Andrew Wingard.

Falcons coach Raheem Morris said Wednesday that London (knee) is considered doubtful for Sunday's game against the Jets, Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com reports.

London didn't practice in any capacity ahead of being ruled out for Week 12, and he looks on track to miss a second consecutive game. The star wideout is nursing a PCL sprain suffered during Atlanta's overtime loss to the Panthers in Week 11. London will still have three opportunities to return to practice in some capacity before Atlanta has to assign him an official injury designation for Sunday's game against New York, but any recovery progress made could speak more to his chances of returning Week 14 versus the Seahawks.

Coach Shane Steichen said that Jones (fibula) will be listed as limited on Wednesday's practice estimate, but added that the QB will "be good to go this week," James Boyd of The Athletic reports.

Jones popped up on the Colts' Week 12 injury report when he was limited last Thursday before working fully Friday and suiting up for the team's 23-20 overtime loss to the Chiefs on Sunday. While he continues to manage a fibula injury, Jones remains on track to be available this weekend against the Texans, a notion that would be supported by the QB being listed as a full practice participant by Friday.

Jacobs (knee) is expected to play in Thursday's game against the Lions, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Jacobs sat out the Packers' Week 12 win over the Vikings while managing a bone bruise in his knee and a thigh contusion, but he's now been listed as a limited participant on four consecutive injury reports and is trending in the right direction for Thanksgiving Day. While Jacobs seems likely to receive an official injury designation for Week 13 unless he's able to upgrade to full practice reps Wednesday, the bell cow running back is expected to suit up versus Detroit. If Jacobs does carry an injury designation, however, his availability won't be made official until Green Bay releases its inactive list 90 minutes prior to Thursday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff.
