Walter Nolen DT | ARI
Cardinals' Walter Nolen: Ruled out with knee injury
Nolen (knee) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Falcons, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Nolen had to be carted off the field with a noncontact injury to his left knee. The 2025 first-rounder missed Week 13 and Week 14 with a knee injury, which may provide more clarity toward what happened on the field Sunday.

Zavier Scott WR | MIN
Vikings' Zavier Scott: Three touches as Mason goes down
Scott rushed twice for four yards and caught his only target for eight yards in Sunday's 16-13 win over the Giants.
Scott looked poised to work as Minnesota's lead back after both Aaron Jones and Jordan Mason exited due to first-quarter ankle injuries, but Jones returned and handled a workhorse role, finishing with 23 touches to Scott's three. If Jones' injury impacts his availability for Thursday's game against the Lions and Mason remains sidelined, Scott could find himself handling an increased workload.

Theo Johnson TE | NYG
Giants' Theo Johnson: Blanked on two Week 16 targets
Johnson didn't catch either of his two targets in Sunday's 16-13 loss to the Vikings.
Johnson was a non-factor as Jaxson Dart threw for just 33 yards. Prior to Sunday's goose egg, Johnson had caught at least three passes in eight consecutive games. Johnson will likely be more involved if the Giants turn to a more balanced approach in Week 17 against the Raiders after this run-heavy loss.

Jordan Addison WR | MIN
Vikings' Jordan Addison: Another two-catch outing
Addison caught two of three targets for 26 yards in Sunday's 16-13 win over the Giants.
Addison couldn't hold onto what would have been a 25-yard touchdown catch in the first quarter. He finished a distant second on the team in receiving yards behind Justin Jefferson (85). Minnesota's passing game will be tough to trust Thursday against the Lions, especially if rookie Max Brosmer is thrust into his second NFL start. Brosmer entered after J.J. McCarthy (hand) left Sunday's win in the second quarter.

Shedeur Sanders QB | CLE
Browns' Shedeur Sanders: Takes his lumps in loss
Sanders completed 20 of 29 passes for 157 yards with one touchdown and two interceptions while adding four rushes for 49 yards in the Browns' 23-20 loss to the Bills on Sunday.
To his credit, Sanders kept the Browns in contention against Josh Allen and company for most of the afternoon despite short-circuiting a pair of drives with interceptions. However, Sanders could arguably be mostly exonerated in both instances, as the first came on a deflection off the hands of Quinshon Judkins (leg/ankle) and the second was tipped at the line of scrimmage. Sanders connected with his favorite target, fellow rookie Harold Fannin, for his one TD toss from 13 yards out to open the scoring in the first quarter, but he has just a 1:5 TD:INT in his last pair of contests. The rookie fifth-round pick will next tangle with the Steelers' veteran defense in a Week 17 home matchup next Sunday.

Wan'Dale Robinson WR | TEN
Giants' Wan'Dale Robinson: Accounts for 19 of Dart's 33 yards
Robinson caught three of six targets for 19 yards and added a three-yard rush in Sunday's 16-13 loss to the Vikings.
Robinson caught Jaxson Dart's only first-half completion for a two-yard gain as the Giants went with a run-heavy game plan. Dart ultimately threw for only 33 yards. Robinson is the top option in the Giants' depleted passing offense, and he had at least eight targets in six consecutive games prior to Sunday's downturn in volume. He'll have a nice opportunity to bounce back in Week 17 against the Raiders.

Delarrin Turner-Yell SAF | DEN
Broncos' Delarrin Turner-Yell: Done for the day
Turner-Yell (knee) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Jaguars, Parker Gabriel of The Denver Post reports.
Turner-Yell is officially done for the day after having picked up a knee injury in the first half. With the 26-year-old sidelined, JL Skinner and Devon Key will be left as Denver's only options at safety for the remainder of the matchup.

Brandin Echols CB | PIT
Steelers' Brandin Echols: Ruled out with groin injury
Echols (groin) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Lions, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.
Echols sustained a groin injury in the first half of Sunday's game and was quickly ruled out. Asante Samuel will likely take over at slot cornerback for the injured starter.

Darren Waller TE | MIA
Dolphins' Darren Waller: Three grabs in lopsided loss
Waller brought in three of five targets for 40 yards in the Dolphins' 45-21 loss to the Bengals on Sunday.
Waller couldn't fully exploit what has been the most favorable matchup in the league for tight ends this season, although he did contribute a 22-yard grab on one of his three catches. The veteran tight end was working with rookie quarterback Quinn Ewers for the first time, and given they flashed some solid chemistry, Waller could be set for even more work against another defense that tends to give up production to his position, that of the Buccaneers, in a Week 17 home matchup.

Devin Singletary RB | NYG
Giants' Devin Singletary: Gets 11 carries to Tracy's 16
Singletary rushed 11 times for 47 yards and caught his only target for minus-1 yard in Sunday's 16-13 loss to the Vikings.
Singletary played second fiddle to Tyrone Tracy, who turned 16 carries and two targets into 78 scrimmage yards. Despite Tracy working in the lead role, Singletary has notched double-digit touches in six of the past seven games in the Giants' run-heavy offense. Both running backs could find success in Week 17 against the vulnerable Raiders defense.
