Melton (heel) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Texans, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Melton is now in line to miss his third consecutive game due to a heel injury. The second-year pro from Rutgers downgraded from a limited practice session Wednesday to a DNP on Thursday, suggesting his injury worsened throughout the week. Denzel Burke is expected to have a larger role in the Cardinals' secondary while Melton remains sidelined in Week 15.

Drummond was not targeted during Thursday's 29-28 win over the Buccaneers.

Drummond wasn't officially recorded as finishing with a target, though Kirk Cousins did look his way on an attempted two-point conversion in the fourth quarter. He'll reprise a similar depth role at wide receiver in Week 16 against the Cardinals.

Odunze (foot) remained limited at practice Friday and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Cleveland.

Odunze was a limited participant Wednesday through Friday after missing last week's loss to the Packers. His failure to progress to full participation could set up a game-time decision ahead of the 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff Sunday, with Olamide Zaccheaus (hamstring) set for a big boost in playing time if Odunze is inactive.

Bernard (elbow) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Patriots, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports.

Bernard has missed Buffalo's last two games due to an elbow injury, but following limited practice sessions Wednesday and Thursday, he has a chance to play Sunday. The 26-year-old has appeared in 10 games for the Bills this season, recording 56 total tackles and three passes defensed, including one interception. If he's sidelined for the third consecutive game in Week 15, expect Shaq Thompson to operate as the team's top middle linebacker.

Kamara (knee/ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Carolina.

Devin Neal topped a 70 percent snap share in both of the past two weeks while filling in for Kamara. The rookie should get a similar workload this Sunday, with Audric Estime and Evan Hull in reserve.

Woerner caught both of his targets for 12 yards in Thursday night's 29-28 win over the Buccaneers.

Woerner wasn't targeted in either of the Falcons' last two games, but he finished with the fifth-most receiving yards on the team during Thursday night's win. The 28-year-old has appeared in all 14 of Atlanta's contests this season, catching seven of eight targets for 45 yards across 417 offensive snaps. He's expected to remain a depth option in the team's tight-end corps in the Week 16 matchup against the Cardinals.

Coach Andy Reid said Friday that he doesn't expect Brown (personal) to suit up Sunday against the Chargers, Sam McDowell of The Kansas City Star reports.

Brown has been tending to a personal matter this week that didn't allow him to practice Wednesday before he returned in a limited practice one day later. Assuming Brown is unavailable for Week 15 action, the Chiefs will lean on Rashee Rice, Xavier Worthy, JuJu Smith-Schuster and Tyquan Thornton at wide receiver Sunday.

Kamara (knee/ankle) isn't practicing Friday, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.

Kamara hasn't practiced since suffering an MCL sprain in Week 12. Devin Neal (abdomen) likely will fill in as the Saints' starting RB again this Sunday against the Panthers, after topping a 70 percent snap share in both of the past two games.

Jennings (concussion) wasn't spotted at Friday's practice, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

The Florida A&M product was unable to practice all week, so it's unlikely that he'll be able to suit up for Sunday's divisional matchup against the Bills. Both Craig Reynolds and D'Ernest Johnson are candidates to be elevated from the Patriots' practice squad to the active roster if Jennings is sidelined in Week 15 as expected.

Jets head coach Aaron Glenn said Friday that Mauigoa (neck) is ruled out for Sunday's game against Jacksonville,

Mauigoa will miss at least one game due to the neck injury he suffered Week 14 against Miami, which had been initially diagnosed a shoulder issue. Kobe King and Mykal Walker will stand to handle increased defensive snaps for as long as Mauigoa remains sidelined.
