Jules (ankle) is inactive for Sunday's tilt against Baltimore.

This comes as no surprise, as Jules is still battling an ankle issue that he suffered last Sunday versus Buffalo and was deemed doubtful for this contest. The rookie hasn't logged a defensive snap since Week 3, so his absence Sunday will primarily impact the Bengals' special-teams unit.

Pipkins (ankle) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Chiefs.

Pipkins was held out of practice all week due to an ankle injury and will observe Sunday's contest from the sidelines. Bobby Hart will start at right tackle in Pipkins' absence.

Dye (hip) is active for Sunday's game against the Chiefs.

Dye was working through a hip issue during Week 15 prep, but he's been cleared to play Sunday after going through pregame warmups. The sixth-year linebacker has 51 tackles (24 solo), including 1.0 sacks, two pass defenses, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery through 12 regular-season games.

Little (concussion) is inactive for Sunday's matchup against the Jets.

Little will miss his second straight game despite practicing in full both Thursday and Friday. Mia O'Brien of 1010 XL 92.5 FM Jacksonville reports that Little actually cleared concussion protocol Thursday but then had a setback and reported more concussion symptoms. Cole Van Lanen will start for the Jaguars at left tackle Sunday.

Jones (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Texans.

Jones has been cleared to make his 2025 regular-season debut Sunday after he was activated from injured reserve Saturday. The 2024 fifth-rounder gives the Cardinals additional depth on the offensive line.

Jones (hip) is active for Sunday's game against the Jaguars.

Jones was activated from injured reserve Saturday and has been cleared to play Sunday after going through pregame warmups. He's set to see his first snaps since Week 6 against the Broncos.

Hyppolite (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against Cleveland.

Hyppolite has been dealing with a shoulder issue of late and missed Chicago's past two games, but he didn't have an injury designation heading into this weekend. As such, his inactive status Sunday appears to be a healthy scratch. The rookie hasn't made much of an impact this season and may be getting squeezed out of the Bears' defensive rotation.

Gillan (knee) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Commanders, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

Gillan was unable to practice all week due to a left knee injury, and his next opportunity to play is Week 16 against the Vikings on Sunday, Dec. 21. Cameron Johnston was elevated from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday, and he will serve as the Giants' punter Sunday in Gillan's absence.

Davidson (illness) is active for Sunday's game against the Commanders, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

Davidson was held out of practice all week due to an illness, but he has recovered enough to be cleared to play Sunday. He has served in a rotational role on the Giants' defensive line this season, but he could see more snaps against Washington due to the absence of Rakeem Nunez-Roches (ankle).

Meredith (foot) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Eagles.

Meredith was a full participant in practice all week, but it appears his foot injury is severe enough for him to miss Sunday's game. Caleb Rogers will start at right guard in Meredith's absence.
