O'Neill (ankle) is questionable to return to Sunday night's contest against the Cowboys.

O'Neill suffered an ankle injury in the second half, and his status for the rest of the game is now up in the air. In his absence, Blake Brandel has taken over at right tackle versus Dallas.

Williams rushed 15 times for 78 yards and two touchdowns while catching his only target for 10 yards in Sunday's 41-34 win over the Lions.

Williams got the Rams' offense cooking with a couple of trips to the end zone in the first half of Sunday's victory. The 24-year-old is now up to 10 rushing touchdowns on the season, giving him double-digits in the category for three consecutive years. Williams also hit the 1,000-yard mark as a rusher Sunday, a feat he has also accomplished in each of his last three campaigns. Blake Corum (11-71-1) remained a factor in his backup role, but Williams is the Rams' clear RB1 for Thursday's pivotal NFC West matchup against the Seahawks.

Carlson did not attempt a field goal or a PAT in Sunday's 31-0 loss to the Eagles.

Carlson has now gone without a field-goal try for the second time in three weeks while making one or zero field goals in seven of the last eight games overall. The kicker has limited upside while operating with a struggling Las Vegas offense, and he hasn't necessarily done himself any favors this season, going 17-for-22 on field-goal attempts, including 3-for-6 from 50-plus yards, over 14 contests so far.

McPherson did not log a field-goal attempt or an extra-point try in Sunday's 24-0 loss to Baltimore.

McPherson went without a field-goal try for the second straight week, which is quite the change of pace after he had gone 12-for-13 on field-goal tries over his four previous contests. The kicker has gone 23-for-26 on field-goal attempts, including 4-for-7 from 50-plus yards, and he'll look to get back on track against the Dolphins in Week 16.

Dowdle rushed the ball 16 times for 49 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Saints. He added one reception on one target for five yards.

Dowdle reclaimed the lead-back role in Carolina, out-touching Chuba Hubbard 17-9. However, he found very limited room to run, with his longest gain going for only eight yards while averaging under 4.0 yards per carry for the fourth time in his last five games. Dowdle did manage to save his day with a four-yard touchdown midway through the first quarter, his first time reaching the end zone since Week 10. Overall, Dowdle has failed to reach 100 yards from scrimmage in four of his last five games despite seeing at least 17 touches in all but one matchup in that span.

Hargrave (groin) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday night's matchup with the Cowboys.

The defensive tackle exited with the injury earlier in the second half. Levi Drake Rodriguez and Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins could see more snaps in his absence.

Ryland did not attempt a field goal and made both of his PATs in Sunday's 40-20 loss to Houston.

Ryland went without a field-goal try for the first time since Week 10 and the third time overall this year. On the bright side, the kicker snapped his streak of four straight games with a field-goal miss. Ryland has now gone six games in a row with one or zero field-goal makes, and he'll look to be busier in Week 16 against the Falcons.

Lutz did not attempt a field goal and made all four of his PATs in Sunday's 34-26 win over the Packers.

Lutz went without a field-goal attempt for the first time since Week 4, and he has now made one or zero field goals in six of the last eight games overall. The kicker still has had a strong season, going 20-for-23 on field-goal tries, including 3-for-5 from 50-plus yards, while making all 34 of his extra-point attempts over 14 contests.

Prater went 5-of-5 on extra-point attempts in Sunday's 35-31 win over the Patriots.

On a high-scoring day for the Bills' offense, the team's kicker did not get a field-goal try, though he made the most of his extra-point attempts. Prater has now made 43 extra points in 14 regular-season appearances this season, so he does get plenty of scoring opportunities on Josh Allen's team. He just hasn't attempted more than two field goals in a game since Week 2.

Young completed 15 of 24 passes for 163 yards, one touchdown and no interceptions in Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Saints. He added seven rushes for 49 yards.

As has been the case for much of the season, the Panthers were content to rely on the ground game to power their offense. That limited Young to 25 or fewer pass attempts for the sixth time in his last eight matchups, though he did a solid job pushing the ball down the field when called upon. Young's performance was highlighted by a 32-yard touchdown pass that hit Jalen Coker in stride down the right sideline, and he also tacked on three additional completions of at least 20 yards. Despite the positives, Young has been held below 200 passing yards in all but three games this season, and he now has one or fewer touchdowns in four of the team's last six games.
