Meyer (triceps) was not activated from injured reserve Saturday and is ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bengals, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Josh Jacobs RB | GB
Packers' Josh Jacobs: Expected to play Saturday
Jacobs (knee/ankle) is expected to take the field against Chicago on Saturday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Jacobs didn't practice at all this week due to a pair of injuries and was considered a game-time decision for Saturday's matchup. It appears the veteran running back is going to give it a go in a contest that could go a long way toward determining the winner of the NFC North. It remains to be seen if Jacobs will be limited in any way, but if he does indeed play, he should lead Green Bay's backfield ahead of No. 2 RB Emanuel Wilson.

Kurtis Rourke QB | SF
49ers' Kurtis Rourke: Ruled out for Week 16
Rourke (knee) is ruled out for Monday's game against the Colts, Briana Jeannel of the team's official site reports.
Rourke will remain on the reserve/non-football injury list for at least one more week. The rookie seventh-round pick has managed to practice in full since having his 21-day practice window opened Dec. 8, but he's nonetheless not ready to join the 53-man roster.

Alec Pierce WR | IND
Colts' Alec Pierce: Officially cleared for MNF
Pierce (Achilles) does not carry an injury designation for Monday's game against the 49ers.
Pierce was limited to open Week 16 prep due to an Achilles injury, but he's been cleared to play Monday after logging back-to-back full practices to end the week. Pierce was held to just one catch (on as many targets) for 16 yards during the Colts' Week 15 loss to the Seahawks, and his fantasy floor figures to be lower for the rest of the regular season with Philip Rivers under center.

Christian Mahogany G | DET
Lions' Christian Mahogany: Comes off IR, still Q
The Lions activated Mahogany (lower leg) from injured reserve Saturday, and he remains questionable for Sunday's contest against the Steelers.
Mahogany appears to be trending in the right direction for Week 16, but the final word on his status may not arrive until 90 minutes before Sunday's 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff. He stands to start at left guard if cleared to play Week 16.

Colts' Daniel Scott: Ruled out for Week 16
Scott (knee) is ruled out for Monday's game against the 49ers.
Scott has been a full participant since having his 21-day practice window opened Thursday, but he nonetheless won't be activated from IR in time to play Week 16. The depth safety's next chance to take the field will be in Week 17 versus Jacksonville.

Colts' Bernhard Raimann: Questionable to play Monday
Raimann (elbow) is officially listed as questionable for Monday's game against the 49ers.
Raimann began Week 16 with two consecutive missed practices, but he upgraded to limited reps Saturday. If the starting left tackle ultimately isn't cleared for Monday's contest, Luke Tenuta will likely stand to take his place.

Eagles' Nakobe Dean: Suffers hamstring injury
Dean (hamstring) is questionable to return to Saturday's game against the Commanders.
Dean picked up a hamstring injury during the first quarter of Saturday's divisional matchup, making his return uncertain. Jeremiah Trotter and Smael Mondon will benefit from expanded roles on defense as long as Dean remains sidelined.

Commanders' Jaylin Lane: Questionable to return Saturday
Lane (ankle) is questionable to return to Saturday's game against the Eagles.
Lane was forced off the field due to an ankle injury midway through the first quarter Saturday. As long as he remains sidelined, Treylon Burks and Chris Moorewill stand to see a slight uptick in reserve opportunities behind Terry McLaurin and Deebo Samuel.
