NFL Player News

Weaver (hamstring) is active for Sunday's game against the Falcons, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Weaver has missed the last two contests due to a hamstring injury, but his return to action coincides with Marvin Harrison's (heel), meaning the former likely will remain a tertiary player in the Cardinals' passing game in Week 16. Fellow WRs Michael Wilson, Jalen Brooks and Steven Sims also are available to the offense.

Nelson (knee) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Panthers, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

Nelson injured his knee in the first quarter and after he was evaluated by medical staff, his injury has been determined severe enough for him to be sidelined for the rest of Sunday's game. Chris Braswell, Markees Watts and Jason Pierre-Paul are slated for more rotational snaps at the edge rusher position due to Nelson's injury.

Ehlinger (coach's decision) is inactive against Jacksonville on Sunday and will be Denver's emergency third quarterback.

Ehlinger was elevated for the second straight week but isn't active Sunday. Instead, he'll serve as the Broncos' emergency quarterback, meaning he can enter the game only if both Bo Nix and Jarrett Stidham are forced to exit due to injury, illness or ejection.

Long (coach's decision) is listed as inactive for Sunday's game against the Broncos.

Long will miss his fifth game of the season in Week 16 as a healthy scratch. In nine games played, the 27-year-old has 12 receptions for 85 yards and two touchdowns.

Wilson may cede some targets to Marvin Harrison (heel) in the latter's return to the lineup Sunday versus the Falcons, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

The Cardinals are getting Harrison back following a two-game absence due to a heel injury, but Adam Schefter of ESPN reported Saturday evening that the second-year wide receiver is expected to be eased back in, meaning Wilson should remain the team's top option at the position Week 16. With Harrison sidelined four times in the last five contests, Wilson has compiled a 44-535-3 line on 67 targets during that span.

Jackson (groin) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Cowboys.

Jackson sustained a groin injury in the second quarter, and he stayed in the locker room after halftime to be evaluated by medical staff. Benjamin St-Juste will likely step into a more prominent role in the Chargers' secondary for as long as Jackson is out of the game.

London (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

London is putting an end to a four-game absence due to a PCL sprain in his left knee, but his inability to practice in any more than a limited capacity during Week 16 prep suggests he may not be able to handle his normal workload. Nevertheless, he put together three straight 100-yard receiving efforts in his last stretch of play Weeks 9-11, so he likely will resume his status as the Falcons' No. 1 WR, at the very least, for QB Kirk Cousins.

Harrison (heel) is listed as active Sunday against the Falcons.

Harrison is putting an end to a two-game absence -- and four DNPs in the past five contests -- but according to Adam Schefter of ESPN, the second-year wide receiver likely will be eased back in after being limited in all three Week 16 sessions as he attempts to put a heel injury behind him. Assuming Harrison's snap count is curtailed, Michael Wilson will continue to operate as the Cardinals' top option at the position, while Xavier Weaver (hamstring), Jalen Brooks and Steven Sims also will be on hand for snaps and targets.

Harris (knee) is questionable to return in Sunday's game against the Chiefs.

Harris sustained a knee injury in the second quarter and will be evaluated by medical staff to determine if he can return. The 24-year-old had one tackle Sunday before exiting. The Titans were already struggling with depth in the secondary, as Harris was the only nickelback listed heading into Week 16. Micah Robinson and Kaiir Elam may have to help if Harris cannot return.

Judkins was carted off the field during Sunday's game against the Bills after sustaining a right leg injury, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.

Prior to his exit from the contest, which he won't return to, Judkins carried eight times for 22 yards and caught five of his six targets for 29 yards. In his absence, Trayveon Williams and Raheim Sanders are available to handle Cleveland's backfield duties.
