Rush (coach's decision) is inactive while serving as Baltimore's emergency third quarterback for Sunday's Week 14 battle against Pittsburgh, Ryan Mink of the Ravens' official site reports.

Rush typically serves in this role on game days, as he remains behind Lamar Jackson and Tyler Huntley in the Ravens' QB pecking order. Rush is eligible to enter Sunday's game only if both Jackson and Huntley need to exit due to injury, illness or ejection.

Howard (coach's decision) is inactive but will serve as the Steelers' emergency third quarterback against the Ravens on Sunday, Alan Saunders of SteelersNow.com reports.

For a second consecutive week, Howard will be the Steelers' emergency QB3, meaning he's restricted from playing Sunday unless both Aaron Rodgers and Mason Rudolph leave the game due to injury, illness or ejection.

Milroe (coach's decision) is inactive and serving as Seattle's emergency third quarterback in Sunday's Week 14 matchup versus Atlanta, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Seattle has consistently deployed Milroe as the emergency QB on game days, though he can enter Sunday's contest only if both Sam Darnold and Drew Lock are forced to exit due to injury, illness or ejection.

Armstead (hand) is active for Sunday's game against the Colts.

The veteran defensive tackle officially has been cleared to return Sunday from a one-game absence due to a hand injury. Armstead's return means Maason Smith will revert to a rotational role on the Jaguars' defensive line.

Bush (foot) is active for Sunday's Week 14 matchup against the Titans.

Bush missed Cleveland's first two practices this week but was able to log a limited session Friday. That will be enough for him to take the field against Tennessee. Bush has logged a defensive snap share above 70 percent in each of Cleveland's contests this season, and that figures to continue to be the case Sunday, provided he avoids aggravating the foot issue.

Murray (neck) is active for Sunday's game against the Colts.

Murray has missed the Jaguars' last five games while on injured reserve due to a neck injury. He was activated from IR on Saturday, and the veteran safety has been officially cleared to return for Sunday's AFC South tilt. With Andrew Wingard (concussion) inactive, Murray and Antonio Johnson will likely serve as the Jaguars' starting safeties while Rayuan Lane and Cam'Ron Silmon-Craig serve as depth options.

Graham (ribs) is active for Sunday's tilt against Tennessee.

Graham managed a rib injury during the week and didn't practice at all Friday. He entered the weekend deemed questionable for Sunday but is going to be able to give it a go. Graham should thus take on his usual starting role along the Browns' defensive line.

Walker (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Colts.

Walker has been officially cleared to return Sunday from a two-game absence due to a knee injury he sustained in Week 11 against the Chargers. His return will fortify a Jaguars defensive front that will have its hands full containing All-Pro running back Jonathan Taylor.

Morrison (hamstring) is inactive for Sunday's Week 14 tilt against New Orleans, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

Morrison will miss his third straight game due to the hamstring issue. That comes as a bit of a surprise since he was able to log three full practices this week, but Tampa Bay deemed him questionable on Friday's final injury report, and reports surfaced late Saturday that the rookie cornerback wasn't expected to suit up. With that indeed the case, Kindle Vildor and Josh Hayes should work as the Buccaneers' reserve cornerbacks behind starters Zyon McCollum, Jamel Dean and Jacob Parrish.

Johnson (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Vikings but will serve as the Commanders' emergency third quarterback.

Johnson has served as the Commanders' backup quarterback behind Marcus Mariota for the past three games, but the former will revert to the QB3 role due to the return of Jayden Daniels (left elbow). As the emergency QB3, Johnson will be permitted to see the field Sunday only in the event that both Daniels and Mariota were to leave the game due to injury, illness or ejection.
