Cosmi is in concussion protocol following Saturday's loss to Philadelphia, JP Finlay of NBC Sports Washington reports.

Cosmi was pulled late in the fourth quarter Saturday and was evaluated for a concussion. With testing having confirmed that diagnosis, the veteran offensive lineman will need to clear the NFL's five-step concussion protocol before he can return to action. If Cosmi can't play Christmas Day against Dallas, Andrew Wylie or Nick Allegretti could start at right guard.

Grandy has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Dolphins due to a left collarbone injury.

Grandy may have picked up the injury during the second half of Sunday's game. The reserve tight end hauled in his lone target for a one-yard reception before departing.

Eskridge (toe) won't return to Sunday's matchup against Cincinnati.

Eskridge suffered a toe injury in the third quarter and has been ruled out for the rest of the game. Malik Washington figures to work as the Dolphins' main kick returner with Eskridge out, while Theo Wease could see more work on offense in what has become a Bengals blowout.

Schmitz (hand) is questionable to return to Sunday's matchup versus the Vikings, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Austin Schlottmann is now in at center after Schmitz sustained a hand injury in the second half. If the 26-year-old is unable to return, the Giants could be shorthanded along the offensive line, as Andrew Thomas has been ruled out with a hamstring injury.

Bresee (knee) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Jets, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.

Bresee went to the locker room in the second half to have his knee evaluated by medical staff. Nathan Shepherd and Jonathan Bullard should see more snaps at defense end for as long as Bresee is out of the game.

Johnson (coach's decision) is a healthy scratch for Sunday's clash against the Lions.

Johnson has been getting very little work on offense with just eight snaps over his past three games. He'll be entirely out of the picture Sunday, representing his fifth missed contest this season. Pittsburgh has just two running backs -- Jaylen Warren and Kenneth Gainwell -- active against Detroit.

Wilson (eye) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Chargers, per AllDLLS.com.

Wilson appeared to suffer the injury in the second half after a hard collision with Chargers rookie tight end Oronde Gadsden. Markquese Bell will see more snaps at safety for as long as Wilson is out of the game.

Vidal exited Sunday's game against the Cowboys with a neck injury.

Before his exit, Vidal carried five times for 11 yards. While he's sidelined, Hassan Haskins is available to handle complementary RB touches behind Omarion Hampton.

Awosika (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Steelers.

Awosika was able to practice in full during Week 16 prep after missing the Lions' last two games due to a foot injury. However, he will be a healthy scratch for Sunday's game after the Lions activated Christian Mahogany (lower leg) from injured reserve Saturday, with the latter reclaiming his starting spot at left guard.

Al-Shaair (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's matchup versus the Raiders.

Al-Shaair will miss his first game of the season due to an ankle injury he sustained earlier in the week. In his absence, Christian Harris is expected to start at middle linebacker against Las Vegas.
