White (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Texans.

White continues to be a healthy scratch for the Raiders this season, with the fourth-year running back not appearing in a regular-season game since Week 5 against the Colts. His next opportunity to play is Week 17 against the Giants on Sunday, Dec. 28, though he's unlikely to play in that game unless Ashton Jeanty, Raheem Mostert or Dylan Laube were to miss time.

Jackson (groin) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's matchup against Dallas.

Jackson was hurt in the second quarter and was ruled out after halftime. Benjamin St-Juste has stepped in to play cornerback in Jackson's absence.

Harris (knee) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Chiefs, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.

Harris injured his knee in the second quarter, and medical staff have determined that the injury is severe enough for the rookie sixth-rounder to not return. Micah Robinson and Kaiir Elam should see more snaps in the secondary in the second half in Harris' absence.

Dorlus (illness/shoulder) is active for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

Dorlus missed the first two practices of Week 16 prep due to an illness and shoulder injury. He drew the questionable tag after logging a limited practice Friday, and he has progressed enough in his recovery to play in Sunday's road tilt. The second-year defensive lineman has accumulated 25 tackles (14 solo), including 7.0 sacks, through 13 regular-season games.

Flott (knee) is questionable to return in Sunday's game against Minnesota, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Flott sustained a knee injury in the third quarter and will be evaluated by medical staff to determine if he can return. The 24-year-old had one pass breakup before exiting. Deonte Banks could see more reps if Flott is unable to return.

Taylor-Demerson (ankle) is active for Sunday's clash against the Falcons, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Taylor-Demerson missed Arizona's past five games due to an ankle injury. He managed a trio of limited practices this week and is set to make his return to the field against Atlanta. Taylor-Demerson could draw the start at safety Sunday with Jalen Thompson (hamstring) unable to suit up.

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

Pearce popped up on Friday's injury report as a DNP due to a foot injury, but he's been cleared to play Sunday after going through pregame warmups. The rookie first-rounder is on a six-game sack streak, accumulating 7.5 sacks over that span.

Heath (personal) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

Heath was slated to make his Falcons debut Sunday, but he returned to Atlanta to attend a personal matter, per Terrin Waack of the Falcons' official site. Heath's next opportunity to play is Week 17 against the Rams on Monday, Dec. 29.

Simon (knee) is active for Sunday's game against Atlanta, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Simon made an early exit from last Sunday's loss to the Texans due to a knee injury. He was able to log a trio of limited practices this week and has been cleared to take the field Sunday. The rookie linebacker logged every defensive snap for Arizona from Week 10 to Week 14 and will likely take on a major role again versus the Falcons.

Thomas (hamstring) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Vikings, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

Thomas will not return to Sunday's game after sustaining a hamstring injury in the first half. Marcus Mbow will remain at left tackle in Thomas' absence.
