Rodgers (wrist), who is officially questionable for Sunday's matchup against Chicago, "has been pushing to play," but Steelers doctors have been "cautious and guarded" about clearing the veteran quarterback, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Schefter notes that if Rodgers is left to decide his status, he'll play, but adds that Pittsburgh hasn't given any hints about the outcome of the decision. Rodgers is dealing with a minor fracture to his left (non-throwing) wrist that isn't expected to require surgery, and he has suggested that the determination about his ability to suit up Sunday hinges on whether the issue will inhibit him from protecting himself. Fantasy managers may not know Rodgers' playing status until the Steelers release their inactive list 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff, and at this point, his likelihood of playing seems to be about 50/50. Mason Rudolph would draw the start in Chicago if Rodgers is unable to play through the injury.

Kamara (ankle), who is officially questionable for Sunday's game against Atlanta, is expected to play, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Kamara has been dealing with a lingering ankle issue since early October, but the issue hasn't yet cost him any time. Following New Orleans' Week 11 bye, Kamara logged a trio of limited practices this week and again seems likely to play Sunday. He should continue to lead the Saints backfield, with rookie Devin Neal serving as the team's No. 2 running back.

Stevenson, who is officially questionable for Sunday's matchup against Cincinnati due to a toe injury, is expected to suit up, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

The toe issue caused Stevenson to miss each of New England's past three games. During that time, rookie running back TreVeyon Henderson moved into the No. 1 role and scored five touchdowns (four rushing, one receiving) while averaging 88.0 rushing yards and 22.0 receiving yards per contest. With that in mind, Stevenson -- who logged offensive snap shares north of 70 percent in each of the three games prior to his absence -- may be part of a more even timeshare out of the backfield if he's cleared to play ahead of Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff.

Godwin (fibula), who is officially questionable to play in Sunday's game against the Rams, is expected to suit up but will "likely be on something of a pitch count," Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

Assuming the Buccaneers officially clear Godwin when they release their inactive list 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff, the wideout will be in line for his first game action since Week 5 after missing five consecutive games due to a hairline fracture of his fibula. His return will provide a boost to Tampa Bay's receiving corps, which will still be without Mike Evans (collarbone) and Jalen McMillan (neck). Even so, fantasy managers should take note of Godwin likely being on a snap count Sunday, with the potential limitations coupled with a tough matchup versus the Rams perhaps suppressing his production. Godwin -- who also missed the first three games of the campaign while recovering from left ankle surgery -- tallied six catches for 52 yards on 14 targets over two games prior to sitting out due to the fractured fibula.

The Jets waived Weston on Saturday, Susanna Weir of the team's official site reports.

The move corresponds with the Jets activating Marcelino McCrary-Ball (hamstring) from injured reserve. Weston served solely on special teams across three regular-season games and posted two tackles over that span. If he clears waivers, Weston could remain with the Jets as a member of the team's practice squad.

The Jets activated McCrary-Ball (hamstring) from injured reserve Saturday, Susanna Weir of the team's official site reports.

McCrary-Ball is still listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Ravens, but his activation off IR indicates that he should return after missing the Jets' last seven games due to a hamstring injury. He logged 17 tackles (eight solo) and a forced fumble in the three regular-season games prior to his injury while contributing on both defense and special teams.

The Lions activated Dorsey (wrist) from injured reserve Saturday, and he no longer carries an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Giants.

Dorsey has officially been cleared to return from a six-game absence due to a wrist injury. He logged four solo tackles over four regular-season games prior to his injury while mostly serving on special teams.

The Lions waived Summers on Saturday.

Summers joined the Lions' active roster in early November, but he'll now hit waivers and could garner interest from teams in need of a linebacker who can contribute on special teams. The 2019 seventh-rounder logged one assisted tackle across five regular-season games for Detroit.

The Lions waived Hallett on Saturday.

Hallett appeared in two regular-season games for the Lions, including one start, but he has not played since Week 7 against the Buccaneers. The third-year pro will look to join a team in need of depth in the secondary, assuming he clears waivers.

Wesley (hip) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Falcons.

Wesley will remain on injured reserve for at least one more week. He was designated to return from IR on Nov. 5, and if he's not activated within the 21-day window, he would be forced to miss the rest of the 2025 season.
