Roland-Wallace (back) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday night's matchup against the Texans, Matt McMullen of the Chiefs' official site reports.

Roland-Wallace was sidelined for Kansas City's Week 13 loss to the Cowboys and didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday, so it's no surprise that he'll miss Sunday's contest. Expect Nohl Williams to operate as the Chiefs' top slot corner while Roland-Wallace remains out Week 14.

Monangai (ankle) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game at Green Bay.

Monangai made it back to full participation Friday after missing Wednesday's practice and being limited Thursday. He should be fine for his usual role as the 1B to D'Andre Swift's 1A, but a matchup with the Packers could make it difficult to pile up rushing volume the way the Bears did in some of their recent games.

Armour-Davis (Achilles) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Browns, Paul Kuharsky of PaulKuharsky.com reports.

The fourth-year pro from Alabama didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday and is now set to miss his second consecutive game due to an Achilles injury. Armour-Davis has served as one of Tennessee's top boundary corners this season, tallying 32 total tackles and two passes defensed across nine appearances. While he remains sidelined in Week 14, Micah Robinson is likely to have an expanded role in the Titans' secondary.

Bates (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Titans, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.

The 26-year-old logged consecutive DNPs to begin the Browns' week of practice and is now in line to miss his second game in a row due to an ankle injury. While Bates is sidelined again Sunday, Cleveland's tight-end room will likely consist of Blake Whiteheart, David Njoku and Harold Fannin.

McCarthy (concussion) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Commanders, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

McCarthy cleared concussion protocol Wednesday or Thursday and managed full practice participation throughout the week. There's not much good to say about his 2025 campaign or Minnesota's offense, but they'll at least be at home against a Washington defense that's allowing 254.9 passing yards per game (30th) and 8.7 YPA (32nd). Vikings head coach Kevin O'Connell said Friday that McCarthy had a "great week" of practice.

Chandler (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Commanders.

Chandler would first have to be officially activated from injured reserve to play Sunday. He has been sidelined since sustaining a knee injury Week 1, but Chandler's window to return to practice opened Wednesday. Even if Chandler's activated ahead of Sunday's game, he's unlikely to play a significant role in Minnesota's backfield mix on offense, though he could factor in as a return man on special teams.

Gardner (calf) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Jaguars, Kevin Bowen of 107.5 The Fan Indianapolis reports.

The Cincinnati product sustained a non-contact calf injury in the Week 13 loss to the Texans, so it's no surprise that he'll be sidelined Sunday. Gardner has appeared in three games since being traded from the Jets to the Colts in early November, recording 13 total tackles and two passes defensed. While he's out Week 14, expect Mekhi Blackmon to start as one of Indianapolis' boundary corners.

Adams (hamstring) is expected to play Sunday at Arizona, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

It remains to be seen how the Rams list Adams on their final injury report. His return to practice Thursday, albeit in a limited capacity, suggests Adams is on track to play. He played through hamstring, back and oblique injuries earlier this season, without ever missing a game or finishing with fewer than five targets or 35 snaps. He's also scored touchdowns in nine of 12 games, including each of the last six (with multiple TDs in four of those).

Wagner (knee) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Vikings, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.

Wagner opened the Commanders' week of practice with consecutive DNPs after likely sustaining a knee injury in the Week 13 loss to the Broncos. The 35-year-old has been integral part of the Commanders' defense, recording 115 total tackles (fourth-most in the NFL), including 2.0 sacks, and three passes defensed, with two interceptions, across 12 appearances this season. If he's forced to miss his first game of the year in Week 14, expect Jordan Magee to have a larger role in Washington's linebacker corps.

Jones (shoulder) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against Washington.

This will be the second time this year that Jones exited a game with an injury and didn't return but then came back to play the next week. He handled his normal workload the previous time, and he's generally been well ahead of Jordan Mason since returning from a multi-week absence in September/October.
