  • Ravens' Devontez Walker: Cleared for Sunday

    Walker (groin) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Steelers.

    Despite suffering a setback Thursday with his groin injury, Walker was a full participant in Friday's practice and was able to clear injury designation ahead of Sunday's divisional contest. The wide receiver logged two targets in last Thursday's loss to the Bengals but was unable to corral either.

  • Marcus Mariota QB | WAS

    Commanders' Marcus Mariota: Returning to backup role

    Mariota will serve as Washington's backup quarterback Sunday against the Vikings, as John Keim of ESPN.com reports that Jayden Daniels (elbow) will start.

    Daniels will return for his first action since dislocating his left elbow Nov. 9. Mariota has seen extensive action due to Daniels' injury woes in 2025, as the veteran backup has appeared in eight of Washington's 12 games, including six starts. Mariota has posted a 9:6 TD:INT but picked up only one win.

  • Kyle Dugger SAF | PIT

    Steelers' Kyle Dugger: Ruled out for Sunday

    Dugger (hand) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Ravens, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

    Dugger was a recent addition to the injury report on Thursday with a hand injury and was unable to practice due to the issue. In the absence of the defensive back, Chuck Clark will likely start at strong safety. It is also worth considering, based on the Steelers' willingness to move Jalen Ramsey to safety, that recently signed Asante Samuel may also see some reps across from the former cornerback in the deeper portions of the field.

  • Noah Brown WR | WAS

    Commanders' Noah Brown: Questionable but still on IR

    Brown (groin/knee/rest) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Vikings, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.

    Brown practiced without limitations Wednesday and Thursday but didn't take part Friday, though Friday's absence appears to have been for rest purposes. He'll need to be officially activated from injured reserve prior to Sunday's game in order to suit up, but Keim expects that transaction to take place Saturday, which would pave the way for Brown to suit up for the first time since Week 2.

  • Xavier Weaver WR | ARI

    Cardinals' Xavier Weaver: Questionable after DNP

    Weaver (hamstring) didn't practice Friday and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Rams, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

    The Cardinals added Weaver to the injury report midweek, listing him as a limited participant Thursday. An absence Friday supports the notion that Weaver was injured during Thursday's session, leaving him uncertain to play ahead of a 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff Sunday. With Marvin Harrison (calf) and Greg Dortch (chest) already ruled out, the Cardinals will need help from the practice squad behind Michael Wilson and Andre Baccellia.

  • Cardinals' Emari Demercado: Ruled out after Friday DNP

    Demercado (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Rams, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

    After missing the past two games, Demercado returned to practice Wednesday and Thursday as a limited participant. He was then held out Friday and ruled out on the injury report, leaving Bam Knight and Michael Carter in charge of Arizona's backfield for another week. There is still a decent chance for Demercado to contribute later in December, especially after Cardinals head coach Jonathan Gannon said Friday that Trey Benson (knee) may not return this season.

  • James Pierre CB | PIT

    Steelers' James Pierre: Clears concussion protocol

    Pierre (concussion) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Ravens, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

    Pierre exited the Steelers' 26-7 loss to the Bills early last Sunday with a concussion. The outside cornerback's ability to practice in full Thursday and Friday enabled him to clear the league's concussion protocol. The 29-year-old is set to start Sunday's game alongside Joey Porter.

  • Packers' MarShawn Lloyd: Won't be activated for Week 14

    Lloyd (calf) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bears, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

    Lloyd won't be activated from injured reserve prior to Sunday's game. His 21-day window to resume practicing was opened Monday. The 2024 third-round draft pick has yet to suit up in the 2025 regular season.

  • Kyren Williams RB | LAR

    Rams' Kyren Williams: Avoids injury designation

    Williams (ankle) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game at Arizona, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

    Williams upgraded to full participation Friday after logging limited practices the previous two days. He suffered the ankle injury during last week's loss to the Panthers, which led to Blake Corum scoring a TD late in the second quarter. Williams returned after halftime and got most of the snaps/touches down the stretch, appearing no worse for the wear.

  • Steelers' Joey Porter: Ready to rock

    Porter (elbow) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Ravens, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

    Porter was able to upgrade to a full participant Friday, just a day after sustaining an elbow injury. The starting cornerback is set to suit up for Sunday's divisional matchup alongside fellow starter James Pierre, who was also cleared of injury designation. With both outside corners healthy, it remains to be seen how the Steelers plan to use recently acquired Asante Samuel.
