Brown (ankle) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the 49ers.

Brown appeared to sustain the injury in the first half, and he is being evaluated by medical staff to determine whether he can return. Xavier Woods (hamstring) is also questionable to return, so Kendell Brooks is poised for a larger role in the defense for as long as both Brown and Woods are sidelined.

Mims (concussion) is questionable to return to Sunday's matchup versus Green Bay, Parker Gabriel of The Denver Post reports.

Mims is currently being evaluated for a concussion, casting doubt on his status for the remainder of the game. If the 23-year-old ends up being unable to return, Riley Moss would likely fill in as the team's punt returner.

Swift rushed the ball 18 times for 98 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 31-3 win over the Browns. He added one reception on one target for minus-2 yards.

Swift split carries with Kyle Monangai through the first half, but the Bears relied upon the former heavily to close out the game. He enjoyed a big second half as a result, picking up 56 yards on nine carries, highlighted by a 17-yard score late in the third quarter. Swift also punched in a score midway through the first quarter, giving him his first multi-touchdown performance of the season. He's now recorded at least 80 yards from scrimmage in five of his last six games.

Dart completed 20 of 36 passes for 246 yards and two touchdowns with one interception in Sunday's 29-21 loss to the Commanders. He added 63 rushing yards on nine carries.

Once again, the rookie quarterback took a hit that forced him out of the game to get checked for a concussion, but he quickly returned to the game after being replaced by Jameis Winston for two plays in the fourth quarter. Per Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News, it's the fifth time this season Dart's been sent to the blue tent to be evaluated for a concussion, although he's been diagnosed with only one. In two games since his return from that two-week absence, Dart has completed 61.7 percent of his passes with a 3:1 TD:INT and 6.4 YPA. He'll try to make it through his first NFL season without further injury beginning in Week 16 against the Vikings.

Brown brought in both targets for 41 yards and a touchdown in the Eagles' 31-0 win over the Raiders on Sunday.

Brown was a non-factor for most of the afternoon, but the talented wideout made his presence felt with 14- and 27-yard grabs, the latter a scoring reception on the first play of the fourth quarter. Brown saw a three-game streak of 100-yard efforts snapped and posted his lowest catch total since Week 10, but he's now scored four times in the last three games heading into a Week 16 road matchup against a beatable Commanders secondary on Saturday afternoon.

Woods (hamstring) is questionable to return to Sunday's matchup versus the 49ers.

Woods sustained the injury in the first half, leaving his status for the remainder of the game up in the air. Kendell Brooks should fill in at free safety with Woods sidelined.

Maye completed 14 of 23 passes for 155 yards, no touchdown passes and one interception in Sunday's 35-31 loss to the Bills. He also rushed four times for 43 yards and two touchdowns.

Maye capped the opening drive with an eight-yard touchdown run, four plays after a drive-extending 30-yard pass to Kayshon Boutte, which hit the ground but wasn't challenged in time by Buffalo. The second-year quarterback added a seven-yard touchdown run late in the first quarter, but New England's offense didn't muster much after that outside of two long TreVeyon Henderson touchdown runs. Reigning MVP Josh Allen showed that a substantial gap remains between Maye and the NFL's top tier under center, as Allen threw three touchdown passes to lead the Bills' comeback from a 21-0 deficit and cut New England's lead atop the AFC East to one game. After feasting on an easy schedule for most of the campaign, Maye and the Patriots have a comparatively tougher stretch run, which will continue in Week 16 at Baltimore.

Samuel caught three of five targets for 43 yards in Sunday's 29-21 win over the Giants.

Marcus Mariota completed only 10 passes in total on the day, with Samuel and Terry McLaurin the only players to catch more than one of them, but Samuel's longest gain went for only 18 yards. The veteran wideout has hauled in multiple passes in every game he's played this season, and his 65 receptions through 13 contests are already the second-highest total of his career after his 77 in 2021 with the 49ers. Samuel will look for his first TD since Week 11 in a Week 16 clash with the Eagles.

Herbert completed 19 of 29 passes for 210 yards with a touchdown and an interception while rushing twice for no gain in the Chargers' 16-13 win over the Chiefs on Sunday.

Herbert persevered through a pressure-filled afternoon that saw him sacked four times, navigating an aggressive Chiefs defense to help lead a comeback from a 13-3 deficit. The 2020 first-round pick put a dent in that margin just before the end of the first half, hitting rookie KeAndre Lambert-Smith from 16 yards out with five seconds remaining in the second quarter. Herbert was relatively quiet the rest of the way, but he helped lead Los Angeles to the final six points of the game for either side on a pair of third-quarter drives. Herbert will continue spearheading the Chargers' playoff quest in a marquee road showdown against the Cowboys next Sunday afternoon.

Hall (hand) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Colts.

Hall appeared to sustain the injury in the first quarter, and he is being evaluated by medical staff to determine whether he can return to Sunday's game. Uchenna Nwosu should see more rotational snaps on defense for as long as Hall is out of the game.
