Wirfs (oblique) was considered a limited participant at the team's walkthrough Monday, Brianna Dix of the Buccaneers' official website reports.

Wirfs was unavailable for the team's Week 14 loss to the Saints due to an oblique injury that he suffered the week prior against Arizona. The offensive lineman will have two more chances to log a full practice prior to Thursday night's contest against the Falcons.

The NFL suspended Cleveland for three games Monday due to violating the league's Substances of Abuse Policy.

Cleveland has served mostly as a blocker on special teams this season, though his absence means Baltimore's depth on the offensive line will be depleted for the next three games. He's eligible to return Week 18 against the Steelers on Jan. 4.

Morris suffered a season-ending knee injury in Sunday's 20-10 loss to the Texans, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Morris drew the start at left tackle in Week 14, but he was forced to exit the game after just one play due to a knee injury. Esa Pole replaced him in the contest, and if Jawaan Taylor (elbow) remains sidelined moving forward, Pole could remain in the starting lineup.

Head coach Dave Canales said Monday that the Panthers won't open Hunt's (biceps) 21-day practice window this week, but there is optimism that the sixth-year offensive lineman will return before the end of the 2025 season, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.

Hunt was placed on injured reserve in mid-September after he tore his biceps during the Panthers' Week 2 loss to the Cardinals. He hasn't progressed enough in his recovery to be cleared to practice, but there's a chance that the 2020 second-rounder could be activated off injured reserve before the end of the season. Jake Curhan will remain as Carolina's starting right guard for this Sunday's NFC South tilt against the Saints.

Teller (calf) is expected to miss Sunday's contest against the Bears, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports.

Teller will be out again in Week 15 according to head coach Kevin Stefanski. The offensive lineman is dealing with a calf injury, and Teven Jenkins will likely draw another start at right tackle in his absence versus Chicago.

Jones reverted to Seattle's practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Jones was elevated from the practice squad each of the past two weeks. He logged six of 62 offensive snaps Sunday against Tampa Bay and carried four times for 32 yards while also recording 16 snaps on special teams. Jones' offensive work Sunday came entirely in garbage time with the Seahawks holding a big lead, and he doesn't figure to be a big part of the offense in future games for which he's active unless there are injuries ahead of him in the RB pecking order.

Valdes-Scantling reverted to the Steelers' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

Valdes-Scantling was elevated to the active roster for the first time with Pittsburgh, failing to catch his only target in Sunday's 27-22 win over the Ravens. The wide receiver logged 16 offensive snaps, which was tied for third most at his position with Calvin Austin behind DK Metcalf (43) and Adam Thielen (25). Valdes-Scantling can be elevated two more times before the team would have to officially sign him to the active roster.

James (head) has returned to Monday's game against the Eagles, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.

James briefly left Monday's game to be evaluated for a head injury, but he was cleared by medical staff to return. He has been a key piece of the Chargers' secondary this season, having accumulated 67 total tackles, including 2.0 sacks, in 12 regular-season games entering Week 14.

James is being evaluated for a head injury and is questionable to return to Monday's game against the Eagles.

James sustained a head injury in the second quarter, and he's being evaluated by medical staff to determine whether he can return to Monday's game. Tarheeb Still is slated for more defensive snaps in the secondary for as long as James is out of the game.

Pipkins (ankle) is questionable to return to Monday's game against the Eagles.

Pipkins was assisted off the field by medical staff after suffering an ankle injury during the second quarter of Monday's game. Bobby Hart has entered the game at right tackle due to Pipkins' injury.
