Carson Schwesinger LB | CLE
Browns' Carson Schwesinger: Set to play Sunday
Schwesinger (ankle) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Bears, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.
Similar to the injury report status from Week 14, Schwesinger was again limited both Wednesday and Thursday, but he should not be impacted for Week 15 as he has no injury designation heading into Sunday's contest against the Bears. The standout rookie has 119 tackles (55 solo), including 1.5 sacks, and three pass breakups, including two interceptions, in 13 games this season.

Xavier Weaver WR | ARI
Cardinals' Xavier Weaver: Ruled out for Week 15
Weaver (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Texans, Bo Brack of GoPHNX.com reports.
Weaver has not yet practiced in any capacity since he popped up on last Thursday's injury report with a hamstring issue. With Marvin Harrison (heel) also ruled out versus Houston, expect at least two of Jalen Brooks, Bryson Green, Tejhaun Palmer, Trent Sherfield or Steven Sims to be elevated from the practice squad for Sunday's contest.

Emari Demercado RB | KC
Cardinals' Emari Demercado: Questionable for Week 15
Demercado (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at Houston, Tyler Drake of ArizonaSports.com reports.
Demercado still hasn't logged a full practice since suffering a high-ankle sprain, but he's at least managed limited sessions for two weeks now, showing enough to be listed as 'questionable' after the past three weeks saw him ruled out Friday. Once he returns, Demercado figures to push Bam Knight and/or Michael Carter for playing time.

Rakeem Nunez-Roches DT | TB
Giants' Rakeem Nunez-Roches: Ruled out for Sunday
Nunez-Roches (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Commanders, Matt Citak of the Giants' official site reports.
Nunez-Roches was unable to practice at all this week due to an ankle injury he likely sustained over the team's Week 14 bye. The loss of the starting defensive end means rookie third-rounder Darius Alexander will likely see an increased snap share on the edge.

Elijah Higgins TE | ARI
Cardinals' Elijah Higgins: Added to injury report
Higgins is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at Houston after missing Friday's practice with an illness, Tyler Drake of ArizonaSports.com reports.
He hasn't seen enough targets to warrant fantasy consideration, but Higgins has taken over more playing time recently due to Arizona's numerous WR injuries. Josiah Deguara and Pharaoh Brown could be tasked with larger roles if Higgins is declared inactive before the 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff Sunday.

Kalif Raymond WR | CHI
Lions' Kalif Raymond: Status in question for Sunday
Raymond (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at the Rams, Eric Woodyard of ESPN.com reports.
Raymond suffered an ankle injury Week 12 against the Giants and missed the Lions' last two contests as a result. After logging three consecutive limited practices this week, he's put himself in a position to return to action Sunday, but his status won't be confirmed until about 90 minutes before a 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff. If he's able to suit up, he could be eased back in, as Isaac TeSlaa has taken on an expanded workload alongside Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jameson Williams during Raymond's absence.

Beaux Collins WR | NYG
Giants' Beaux Collins: Will not return Sunday
Collins (neck/concussion) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Commanders, Matt Citak of the Giants' official site reports.
Collins was designated to return from IR on Wednesday, but a Thursday setback is what likely eliminated him from playing consideration for Sunday's game. The wide receiver will have to set his sights on a Week 16 return when the Giants take on the Vikings.

Brenden Bates TE | CLE
Browns' Brenden Bates: Ready to go Sunday
Bates (ankle) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Bears, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.
Bates was limited in practice both Wednesday and Thursday, but he was a full participant Friday. He is now ready to play Sunday against the Bears for the first time since Week 12 versus the Raiders. The 26-year-old has had minimal impact on offense when healthy this season, hauling in two receptions on two targets for 23 yards in five games played (three with the Texans and two with the Browns).
-
Elijah Arroyo TE | SEA
Seahawks' Elijah Arroyo: Ruled out to face Colts
Arroyo (knee) is ruled out for Sunday's game against Indianapolis, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.
Arroyo will miss at least one game due to the knee injury he suffered Week 14 against Atlanta. With the rookie second-round pick sidelined, Nick Kallerup will stand to operate as the No. 2 tight end behind AJ Barner.
-
Nick Bolton LB | KC
Chiefs' Nick Bolton: Cleared of illness
Bolton (illness) doesn't have an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Chargers.
Bolton missed Thursday's practice due to a sudden illness, but a prompt upgrade back to full participation Friday cleansed him of any injury designation for Sunday. The starting middle linebacker should be all set to suit up for a key divisional matchup that, if lost, could all but eliminate the Chiefs from playoff contention.
