Nacua (cramps) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Lions.

Nacua has been deemed questionable to return in the fourth quarter. He may not get a chance to add to his eight catches for 169 yards on 10 targets against Detroit. Nacua also rushed once for six yards before the cramping issue arose.

Adams (hamstring) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Lions.

Adams pulled up lame and fell down while running a deep route in the fourth quarter. He went to the locker room shortly afterward, per Adam Schefter of ESPN. Adams presumably aggravated the hamstring injury that cut into his practice participation throughout the week and had the veteran wide receiver listed as questionable heading into Sunday's game. Prior to getting injured, Adams caught four of nine targets for 71 yards.

Clowney (hamstring) is active for Sunday's game against the Vikings.

Clowney was deemed questionable for Sunday night's game due to a hamstring injury, but he's been officially cleared to return from a one-game absence after going through pregame warmups. He's mostly worked in a rotational role at defensive end this season behind Dante Fowler and Donovan Ezeiruaku.

Darrisaw (knee) is inactive for Sunday night's contest against the Cowboys.

Darrisaw will be forced to miss Week 15 as he tends to the knee injury that forced him to be less than 100 percent at practice throughout the week. Justin Skule is the top candidate to take over at left tackle versus Dallas.

Wolford (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday Night Football against the Cowboys, Craig Peters of the Vikings' official site reports.

The quarterback was elevated to the active roster for Minnesota's Week 13 matchup with Seattle with J.J. McCarthy sidelined due to a concussion. Last week, though, McCarthy returned, moving Wolford to the emergency role behind McCarthy and Max Brosmer. It's a role he'll play again Sunday night.

Williams (knee) is questionable to return to Sunday's contest against Denver, Zach Jacobson of 247Sports.com reports.

Williams is dealing with an apparent knee injury late in the second half, and his status for the rest of the game is now up in the air. In his absence, Zayne Anderson is a top candidate to see an increase in workload at safety.

Blue (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Vikings.

The rookie fifth-rounder hasn't played since Week 8 against the Broncos, and his absence will extend to six games after he was made inactive for Sunday night's contest. Blue is unlikely to play unless one of Javonte Williams or Malik Davis misses time.

Tolbert (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Vikings.

It's the third time in four games that Tolbert will be a healthy scratch. Ryan Flournoy, KaVontae Turpin and Jonathan Mingo will be the top depth options for the Cowboys behind CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens for Sunday night's game. Tolbert's next opportunity to play is Week 16 against the Chargers on Sunday, Dec. 21.

Koo missed both of his field-goal attempts and went 3-for-3 on extra-point tries during the Giants' 29-21 loss to the Commanders on Sunday.

Both of Koo's field-goal attempts Sunday came from 50-plus yards and both missed to the left. It was Koo's first field-goal misses in five games with the Giants, and he's now 4-for-6 on field-goal attempts and 11-for-12 on extra-point tries with New York.

Smith brought in both targets for 50 yards in the Eagles' 31-0 win over the Raiders on Sunday.

The highlight of Smith's otherwise quiet afternoon was a 44-yard reception in the first half, which helped the speedster finish second in receiving yards to Dallas Goedert. The Eagles' offense didn't need to do much against an overmatched Raiders squad, so Smith's relatively modest afternoon should be viewed in that context. Smith figures to be busier in a Week 16 road matchup against the vulnerable Commanders defense on Saturday afternoon.
