Andrus Peat OG | PIT
Steelers' Andrus Peat: Clears concussion protocol
Peat (concussion) does not have an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Lions, Mike DeFabo of The Athletic reports.
Peat was sidelined for Pittsburgh's Week 15 win over Miami due to a concussion. He practiced in a limited capacity each day in preparation for Sunday's game against the Lions, but his lack of an injury designation suggests he has cleared the league's concussion protocol. Peat should start at left tackle in Week 16.

Zaire Mitchell-Paden TE | NO
Saints' Zaire Mitchell-Paden: Questionable for Week 16
Mitchell-Paden (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Jets, Ross Jackson of WWL Louisiana reports.
Mitchell-Paden popped up on Friday's injury report due to a knee issue, which earned him the questionable tag for Sunday's game. However, he has been a healthy scratch for the Saints' last two games, so his absence wouldn't impact how New Orleans deploys its tight ends all that much.

Asim Richards OT | NO
Saints' Asim Richards: Not available for Week 16
Richards (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Jets, Ross Jackson of WWL Louisiana reports.
Richards will be sidelined for a second consecutive game due to an ankle injury, so the Saints' depth on the offensive line will be thinned out. His next opportunity to play is Week 17 against the Titans on Sunday, Dec. 28.

Elijah Campbell DB | NYG
Dolphins' Elijah Campbell: Questionable to face Bengals
Campbell (ankle/knee) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Bengals, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.
Campbell was sidelined for Miami's Week 15 loss to the Steelers, but he closed the current week with a pair of limited practices. That puts him in a position to potentially return to a special teams role in Week 16 against the Bengals.

Cesar Ruiz C | NO
Saints' Cesar Ruiz: Won't play vs. NYJ
Ruiz (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Jets, Ross Jackson of WWL Louisiana reports.
Ruiz suffered an ankle injury during the Saints' win over the Panthers in Week 15, which prevented him from practicing all week. Dillon Radunz will likely start at right guard Sunday in Ruiz's stead.

Chase Lundt OT | BUF
Bills' Chase Lundt: Heads to IR
Lundt (knee) was placed on injured reserve Friday.
Lundt had already been ruled out for Sunday's matchup against the Browns, and he'll now be sidelined until at least the divisional round of the playoffs. He's played sparingly on offense and special teams during his rookie season.

Travis Kelce TE | KC
Chiefs' Travis Kelce: Expected to play out season
Kelce is expected to play in the Chiefs' last three games of the regular season, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Kelce has deflected questions about his future in the league and has previously suggested he'll make his decision by March 2026, before both the NFL Draft and the start of free agency. While his future status may be in doubt, he won't bow out for the rest of the 2025 season even after the Chiefs were eliminated from playoff contention. Nevertheless, his numbers could suffer in the final three games with Gardner Minshew under center, who is replacing the injured Patrick Mahomes (knee).

Christian Kuntz LS | PIT
Steelers' Christian Kuntz: Dealing with knee injury
Kuntz is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Lions due to a knee injury, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.
Kuntz popped up on Thursday's injury report due to a knee injury. The Steelers don't have another long snapper on the practice squad or active roster, so it's unclear who would handle those duties if Kuntz is unable to play Sunday.

Zach Frazier C | PIT
Steelers' Zach Frazier: Cleared to face Lions
Frazier (triceps) does not have an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Lions, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.
Frazier was added to the injury report Thursday and didn't practice in any capacity. He returned to a limited session Friday, which will be enough to take on his customary role as Pittsburgh's starting center in Week 16.

Isaac Seumalo G | ARI
Steelers' Isaac Seumalo: Won't play Week 16
Seumalo (triceps) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Lions, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.
Seumalo sustained a triceps injury during the Steelers' win over the Dolphins on Monday, which prevented him from practicing all week. Spencer Anderson will likely start at left guard Sunday in Seumalo's absence.
