Nate Adkins TE | DEN
Broncos' Nate Adkins: Won't play at Las Vegas
Adkins (knee) is officially listed as out for Sunday's game against the Raiders, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.
Adkins did not participate at practice at all during the week, as he continues to tend to a knee injury he suffered in Week 8 versus the Cowboys. Adam Trautman and two-time Pro Bowler Evan Engram are currently the only two healthy tight ends on Denver's 53-man roster.

Zack Baun LB | PHI
Eagles' Zack Baun: Still limited at practice Friday
Baun (hand) was a limited participant at practice Friday, Andrew DiCecco of InsideTheBirds.com reports.
Baun was a surprise addition to the Eagles' injury report Thursday with a hand issue, and he's still not at 100 percent as the team continues its preparations for Week 14. He'll probably have to practice in full Saturday to avoid carrying an injury designation ahead of Monday's game against the Chargers.

Xavier Gipson WR | PHI
Eagles' Xavier Gipson: Manages full practice Friday
Gipson (shoulder) was a full participant at practice Friday, Andrew DiCecco of InsideTheBirds.com reports.
Gipson was still limited by the shoulder injury he suffered in Week 12 at Dallas to start the Eagles' preparations for Week 14, but he now appears to be back to full strength. He is on track to reclaim his return duties come Monday's game against the Chargers.

Dion Dawkins OT | BUF
Bills' Dion Dawkins: Clears concussion protocol
Dawkins has cleared the league's concussion protocol and will be available for Sunday's game against the Bengals, Katherine Fitzgerald of The Buffalo News reports.
Dawkins was a full participant in Friday's practice, and after being cleared from the league's protocol by an independent neurologist, the veteran offensive lineman has been given the green light to play Sunday. With Dawkins back at left tackle, Ryan Van Demark will revert to a depth role on the offensive line.

Darius Slay CB | BUF
Bills' Darius Slay: Placed on Reserve/DNR list
The Bills placed Slay on the reserve/did not report list Friday, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.
The veteran informed the Bills on Thursday that he was contemplating retirement and would not report to the team facilities. The Bills have chosen to retain the cornerback's rights, and depending on the verbiage in Slay's contract, they may be able to claim money from his signing bonus for their own cap if he remains firm in his decision.

Otito Ogbonnia DT | LAC
Chargers' Otito Ogbonnia: Eying a return from IR
Ogbonnia (elbow) was a full participant in Friday's practice.
Ogbonnia was designated to return to practice Nov 29, and his two full practice sessions this week create a three-consecutive-practice string that bodes well for his Monday availability. The defensive end has the potential to play his first game since the singular snap he logged before injury in the Chargers' Week 7 loss to the Colts.

Jaylon Carlies LB | IND
Colts' Jaylon Carlies: Chance to be activated from IR
Carlies (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Jaguars.
Carlies was a full participant in practice all week, and while he's tagged as questionable, he is trending toward being activated from injured reserve and being cleared to make his 2025 regular-season debut Sunday. The second-year linebacker is in the final stages of his recovery from an ankle injury he sustained during the preseason in early August. Carlies would likely work in a rotational role at linebacker while contributing on special teams if he's activated from IR.

Da'Shawn Hand DE | LAC
Chargers' Da'Shawn Hand: Upgrades to full participation
Hand (illness) was a full participant in Friday's practice.
Hand missed Thursday's session due to an illness, but the defensive end's immune system seems to have fought back enough for him to immediately upgrade to a full participant Friday. The hasty return to total participation means that the starter is likely good to go for Monday's contest with the Eagles, and he will have one more practice to exhibit that consistency before the game.

Hassan Haskins RB | LAC
Chargers' Hassan Haskins: Full participant Friday
Haskins (hamstring) was a full participant in Friday's practice.
Haskins upgrades to a full participant in just his second practice back from his stint on the injured reserve. It is unclear if the Chargers will want to remove the running back from the injured reserve ahead of Monday's game against the Eagles, but an upgrade in practice participation is a great sign for the 26-year-old's health.

Tyquan Lewis DE | IND
Colts' Tyquan Lewis: Tagged as questionable Week 14
Lewis (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Jaguars.
Lewis registered a DNP-LP-DNP practice log during Week 14 prep while working through an ankle injury. His status for Sunday's AFC South tilt may not be officially known until 90 minutes prior to the 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff, when the Colts announce their list of inactive players. Samson Ebukam and JT Tuimoloau would be in line for more rotational snaps at defensive end behind Kwity Paye and Laiatu Latu if Lewis is not cleared to play.
