  • Xavier Legette WR | CAR

    Panthers' Xavier Legette: Four catches in close loss

    Legette caught four of his six targets for 56 yards during Sunday's 30-27 loss versus the Chiefs.

    Despite pacing Carolina's wide receivers in snaps in Week 12, Legette's six targets lagged behind teammate David Moore (10). His struggles reeling in targets also continued, as he dropped a well-placed deep ball from Bryce Young late in the fourth quarter. The Panthers will host a poor Buccaneers defense in Week 13.

  • Michael Pierce DT | BAL

    Ravens' Michael Pierce: Designated for return

    Pierce (calf) was designated to return from injured reserve by Baltimore on Wednesday.

    Pierce's 21-day practice window is now open after he's missed the Ravens' past four games while on injured reserve. The big-bodied nose tackle will further bolster an already-strong Ravens run defense once he does return to the lineup.

  • Chiefs' Isiah Pacheco: Looks likely to play Friday

    Chiefs head coach Andy Reid confirmed Wednesday that Pacheco (ankle) will play Friday against the Raiders unless he suffers a setback this week, Adam Teicher of ESPN.com reports.

    Listed as a limited participant in each practice the past two weeks, Pacheco upgraded to full participation Tuesday and now is expected to get activated from injured reserve and play for the first time since Week 2. Reid hasn't said if Pacheco is likely to get his usual workload Friday or if he'll yield touches to Kareem Hunt, who served as the Chiefs' lead back during Pacheco's absence.

  • D.J. Davidson DT | NYG

    Giants' D.J. Davidson: Good to go Thursday

    Davidson (shoulder) does not carry an injury designation ahead of Thursday's game at Dallas.

    Davidson was limited at practice during the week due to a shoulder issue, but it won't hold him out of game action in Week 13. He should resume his regular rotational role on the defensive line Thursday.

  • Panthers' Ja'Tavion Sanders: No practice Wednesday

    Sanders (neck) isn't practicing Wednesday, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

    Sanders endured a scary situation this past Sunday versus the Chiefs when he was tackled low at the end of a 10-yard catch and run and landed on his neck. He was placed on a backboard before being carted off the field and taken to a Charlotte area hospital, but he was discharged not long after the game. On Monday, coach Dave Canales told Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer that Sanders avoided a serious injury, but the rookie right end won't take part in any drills to begin Week 13 prep. Sanders' listing on practice reports Thursday and Friday may be telling for his odds to play Sunday against the Buccaneers.

  • Evan Neal OT | NYG

    Giants' Evan Neal: Will play Thursday

    Neal (hip) does not carry an injury designation ahead of Thursday's game at Dallas.

    Neal missed practice Monday and was limited at practice Tuesday and Wednesday due to a hip issue, but he'll be available for the Giants in Week 13 anyway. He figures to start at right tackle against the Cowboys.

  • Giants' Jermaine Eluemunor: Won't play against Cowboys

    Eluemunor (quadriceps) is out for Thursday's game at Dallas.

    Eluemunor was forced out of Sunday's game versus the Buccaneers early by a quad injury, and now he'll have to miss his first game of the season in Week 13 as he recovers. In his stead, Chris Hubbard projects to start at left tackle Thursday.

  • Commanders' Brian Robinson: Practicing Wednesday

    Robinson (ankle) took part in Wednesday's practice, JP Finlay of NBC Sports Washington reports.

    The Commanders lost their top two running backs to injury this past Sunday against the Cowboys. First, Robinson was deemed questionable to return on two occasions due to an ankle injury and was contained to 12 snaps and six touches. And in the final minutes, Austin Ekeler took a big hit on a kickoff return and was diagnosed with a concussion. Ekeler isn't practicing Wednesday as he makes his way through the five-step concussion protocol, but Robinson's ability to handle at least some drills bodes well for his status for this Sunday's game versus the Titans. Jeremy McNichols and Chris Rodriguez are the healthy backs on Washington's active roster.

  • Armon Watts DT | NYG

    Giants' Armon Watts: Won't play at Dallas

    Watts (shoulder) is out for Thursday's game against the Cowboys.

    Watts was held out of practice during the week with a shoulder issue, and now he'll have to sit out Thursday. His absence could open up additional playing time for 2023 seventh-rounder Jordon Riley.

  • Elijah Hicks SAF | CHI

    Bears' Elijah Hicks: Won't play at Detroit

    Hicks is out for Thursday's game against the Lions.

    Hicks will miss his second straight contest in Week 13 as he continues to work through an ankle injury he suffered in Week 11 versus the Packers. In his stead, Jonathan Owens projects to start at safety again Thursday.
