Striggow (ankle) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Jets, John Oehser of the Jaguars' official site reports.

Emanuel Wilson RB | SEA
Packers' Emanuel Wilson: Suiting up Sunday despite illness
Wilson (illness) is active for Sunday's contest at Denver, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.
Wilson was tacked on to the Packers' Week 15 injury report Saturday due to an illness and deemed questionable for Sunday. Adam Schefter of ESPN later reported that Wilson showed up to team facilities earlier Saturday under the weather and was sent home with medication with the aim he'd feel well enough to play this weekend. Wilson at least will be available to Green Bay's offense, but he may only be available in an emergency capacity behind Josh Jacobs (knee), while Chris Brooks also is on hand for snaps.

Chidobe Awuzie CB | BAL
Ravens' Chidobe Awuzie: Exits game with foot injury
Awuzie (foot) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Bengals.
Awuzie appeared to sustain the injury early in the third quarter. T.J. Tampa will likely come into the game at outside corner opposite Nate Wiggins for as long as Awuzie is sidelined.

Josh Jacobs RB | GB
Packers' Josh Jacobs: Officially active in Week 15
Jacobs (knee) is listed as active Sunday at Denver, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.
Jacobs has been tending to a knee injury since he sustained it during a Week 11 win at the Giants, sitting out Week 12 but leading the Packers backfield the last two games. He then experienced renewed stiffness and swelling in the knee in the wake of last Sunday's victory against the Bears, sitting out practice Wednesday and Thursday before logging a limited session Friday. Despite Jacobs being tagged as questionable entering the weekend, Adam Schefter of ESPN reported Saturday evening that he was expected to play Week 15, which has been confirmed. With No. 2 RB Emanuel Wilson dealing with an illness but still active Sunday, Jacobs should be Green Bay's primary option out of the backfield, while Chris Brooks also is on hand for snaps.

Davis (groin) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against Buffalo, Mike Kadlick of CLNSMedia.com reports.

49ers' Jordan Elliott: Will not play Sunday
Elliott (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Titans, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Tyler Lockett WR | LV
Raiders' Tyler Lockett: Injured in first half Sunday
Lockett is questionable to return to Sunday's game versus the Eagles with a wrist injury.
The 33-year-old caught two of four targets for 10 yards before sustaining this injury, which has left him questionable to return coming out of halftime. In his absence, Dont'e Thornton will likely take on a bigger role behind fellow wideouts Tre Tucker and Jack Bech while tight end Brock Bowers still serves as Las Vegas' No. 1 target. Over six games with the Raiders coming into Sunday's action, Lockett recorded 16 catches (on 20 targets) for 191 yards.

Noah Brown WR | WAS
Commanders' Noah Brown: Ruled out with rib injury
Brown won't return to Sunday's game at the Giants due to a rib injury.
When Brown exited in the first half, the Commanders listed him with a back issue, which since has been reclassified to a different health concern. With Brown out for the rest of Week 15, Treylon Burks and Jaylin Lane will be the tertiary wide receivers in Washington's offense behind top options Terry McLaurin and Deebo Samuel.

Andre Baccellia WR | ARI
Cardinals' Andre Baccellia: Carted off field
Baccellia (neck) was stretchered off the field during Sunday's game against the Texans and will not return, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.
Baccellia suffered a scary neck injury late in the second quarter, but the good news is that the 28-year-old wideout had full movement in his extremities. He's been taken to a local hospital to undergo further tests, and without Baccellia the rest of the day, Emari Demercado will likely serve as the Cardinals' primary returner on kickoffs.

Noah Fant TE | NO
Bengals' Noah Fant: Questionable for second half
Fant (ankle) is questionable to return in Sunday's game against the Ravens.
Fant limped off the field in the second quarter of Sunday's matchup. The 28-year-old had 33 receptions for 283 yards and three touchdowns over his previous 12 games this season. If the seventh-year veteran is unable to return, Tanner Hudson will likely take over as the No. 2 tight end for the remainder of the game.
