Nick Niemann LB | LAC
Chargers' Nick Niemann: Racks up eight tackles Monday
Niemann registered eight tackles (four solo) during the Chargers' loss versus Baltimore on Monday.
Niemann had his best game of the campaign Monday, recording a season-high eight tackles. The 26-year-old saw an expanded role as a result of Denzel Perryman exiting the game with a groin injury. If Perryman ends up being forced to miss extended time, Niemann would likely replace him as the team's starting linebacker.

Raiders' Zamir White: Deemed DNP to open Week 13
White (quadricep) was estimated as being a non-participant in Tuesday's walk-through practice, Tashan Reed of The Athletic reports.
White didn't practice at all last week and missed Sunday's loss to Denver, and his designation for Tuesday's session doesn't bode well for his ability to play on Friday against the Chiefs. However, his status bears watching to see if he can return to practice in some capacity Wednesday or Thursday. Meanwhile, Alexander Mattison (ankle) -- who also was sidelined Week 12 -- was estimated as a limited practice participant Tuesday, so he seems to have a better chance than White of suiting up Friday. If neither running back can return for Week 13, Ameer Abdullah would likely lead the Las Vegas backfield once again.

Derwin James FS | LAC
Chargers' Derwin James: Logs sack versus Ravens
James tallied six tackles (two solo), with 1.0 sacks, in Monday's loss to the Ravens.
James was considered questionable heading into Monday's matchup due to a groin injury but ended up having a solid performance nonetheless. He recorded the Chargers' only sack of the game, bringing his season total up to 2.5.

Alexander Mattison RB | LV
Raiders' Alexander Mattison: Deemed limited in practice Tuesday
Mattison (ankle) was estimated as a limited participant in Tuesday's walk-through practice, Tashan Reed of The Athletic reports.
Though the Raiders held a walkthrough Tuesday, the fact that Mattison was deemed a limited participant is an improvement over last week, when he was listed as a non-participant on three occasions. The running back was unable to play in last Sunday's loss to Denver along with No. 2 back Zamir White (quadricep), allowing Ameer Abdullah to serve as the team's primary option out of the backfield. White was estimated as a non-participant Tuesday, and if neither he nor Mattison can return Friday against Kansas City, Abdullah should lead Las Vegas' rushing attack again, with Sincere McCormick likely to be elevated from the practice squad again for depth.

Harrison Bryant TE | LV
Raiders' Harrison Bryant: Full participant Tuesday
Bryant (ankle) was considered to be a full participant at the Raiders' walkthrough Tuesday, Tashan Reed of The Athletic reports.
Bryant appears to be set to return to the field Friday versus Kansas City after missing the last two games with an ankle injury. The 26-year-old will be back in his role as the No. 3 option behind Brock Bowers and Michael Mayer at tight end in Week 13.

Cody Whitehair C | LV
Raiders' Cody Whitehair: Returns to practice Tuesday
Whitehair (ankle) was a full participant in Tuesday's practice, Tashan Reed of The Athletic reports.
Whitehair missed the Raiders' last two regular-season games due to an ankle injury he suffered in Week 9 against the Bengals. However, he was able to practice without limitations Tuesday, and barring any setbacks he should start at left guard against the Chiefs on Friday.

Daiyan Henley LB | LAC
Chargers' Daiyan Henley: Leading tackler once again
Henley recorded 10 tackles (four solo) during the Chargers' loss to the Ravens on Monday.
Henley was a bright spot for Los Angeles despite the loss as he led the team in tackles once again. The 25-year-old has now racked up double-digit tackles in five straight games and will look to keep that streak going during the team's Week 13 matchup versus Atlanta.

Zack Martin G | DAL
Cowboys' Zack Martin: Unavailable for walkthrough
Martin (ankle) was estimated to be a non-participant at the Cowboys' walkthrough Tuesday, Jane Slater of NFL Network reports.
Martin has opened the week with back-to-back DNPs at the team's walkthroughs, making it highly unlikely that he plays Thursday versus the Giants. T.J. Bass appears to be in line to draw another start at right guard against New York.
-
Asim Richards OT | DAL
Cowboys' Asim Richards: Considered unavailable Tuesday
Richards (ankle) was considered a non-participant at the Cowboys' walkthrough Tuesday, Jane Slater of NFL Network reports.
Richards has been unavailable for each of the team's first two walkthroughs of the week, putting his availability for Thursday's contest against the Giants in doubt. He'll look to participate in some capacity Wednesday; otherwise, Matt Waletzko would likely operate as the top reserve option at offensive tackle in Week 13.

Myles Adams DT | SEA
Myles Adams: Let go by Seattle
The Seahawks waived Adams on Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
The move makes room on the Seahawks' 53-man roster for AJ Finley, who was claimed off waivers Tuesday. Adams has been a healthy scratch for the Seahawks' last six games after appearing in three of the first five games of the 2024 regular season, logging three tackles (one solo) over that span. Assuming he clears waivers, Adams will look to sign with a team in need of depth at defensive tackle.
