Kamren Curl SAF | LAR
Rams' Kamren Curl: Forces key fumble in loss
Curl recorded five tackles (two solo) and forced a fumble in Thursday's 38-37 loss to the Seahawks.
Curl played his typical role, logging a 100 percent defensive snap rate. He had a modest tackle total, but he still made a significant impact on the game by forcing Cooper Kupp to fumble just before halftime -- taking potential points off the board. Curl has at least five tackles in three straight games, though his totals have fallen significantly since early in the season.

Rams' Josh Wallace: Nearly manages pick-six
Wallace logged six tackles (six solo) and an interception in Thursday's 38-37 loss to the Seahawks.
Wallace played just under half of the defensive snaps with Ahkello Witherspoon (coach's decision) sidelined. Nevertheless, he managed to make a big impact on the game, picking off Sam Darnold midway through the third quarter. Wallace was tackled at the 1-yard line, setting up a short touchdown run for Blake Corum. He also set a new season high with six tackles, doubling his previous best output.

Rams' Kobie Turner: Getting after quarterback
Turner recorded three tackles (one solo), including 1.5 sacks, while also logging an interception and two passes defensed in Thursday's 38-37 loss to the Seahawks.
Though the Rams' defense underperformed relative to its typical standard, Turner turned in one of his better games of the season. He now has at least 1.0 sacks in four of his last five contests and has a chance to turn in double-digit sacks in a campaign for the first time in his career.

Chiefs' Jawaan Taylor: Won't play against Tennessee
Taylor (elbow) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Titans.
Taylor will miss a third consecutive game due to a triceps injury, and with Jaylon Moore (knee) also sidelined, the Chiefs may have to turn to Mike Caliendo, Hunter Nourzad or C.J. Hanson to fill in at right tackle. Taylor's next opportunity to play is Christmas Day against the Broncos.

Browns' Wyatt Teller: Could return in Week 16
Teller (calf) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Bills, Kelsey Russo of the Browns' official site reports.
Teller has missed each of Cleveland's last two games with the calf injury. He managed to practice in a limited fashion throughout the week and looks to have a reasonable chance to return for Sunday's matchup against Buffalo.

Kolton Miller OT | LV
Raiders' Kolton Miller: Won't return Week 16
Miller (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Texans, Paul Gutierrez of the Raiders' official site reports.
Miller was a limited participant in practice all week, but he has not progressed enough in his recovery from an ankle injury to return in Week 16. He's been on IR since late September, and his next opportunity to play is Week 17 against the Giants on Sunday, Dec. 28.

Jordan Meredith G | LV
Raiders' Jordan Meredith: Questionable for Week 16
Meredith (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Texans.
Meredith was a full participant in practice all week, which puts him more toward the probable side of playing in Sunday's road tilt. If he does play, he would likely reclaim his starting job at right guard while Caleb Rogers reverts to a reserve role.

Walker Little OT | JAC
Jaguars' Walker Little: Clears concussion protcol
Little (concussion) does not have an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Broncos.
Little was held out of Jacksonville's last two games due to a concussion. However, he practiced in full throughout the week, and his lack of an injury designation suggests he's cleared the league's concussion protocol. Little should return to start at left tackle.

Justin Strnad LB | DEN
Broncos' Justin Strnad: Won't play Week 16
Strnad (foot) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Jaguars.
Strnad was unable to practice all week due to a foot injury, and his next opportunity to play will be Thursday against the Chiefs. Without Strnad, the Broncos will have one less contributor on special teams and have less depth in their linebacker corps.

Kevin Dotson G | LAR
Rams' Kevin Dotson: Diagnosed with ankle sprain
Head coach Sean McVay said Friday that Dotson is nursing a sprained left ankle and is doubtful to play in Week 17 against the Falcons on Monday, Dec. 29, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.
Dotson was carted off the field during the first quarter of the Rams' overtime loss to the Seahawks on Thursday. He was diagnosed with an ankle sprain after undergoing further tests, and even with the extra time to recover, it appears the sixth-year offensive lineman will miss at least one game. Justin Dedich is a candidate to start at right guard against Atlanta if Dotson is indeed ruled out for Week 17.
