Simmons underwent surgery on his wrist and will be placed on the injured reserve list, Matt McMullen of the Chiefs' official site reports.

The 2025 first-round pick from Ohio State suffered a dislocated and fractured wrist in the Chiefs' Week 13 loss to the Cowboys. Simmons will be forced to miss Kansas City's next four games after his move to IR becomes official, making the Week 18 matchup against the Raiders his earliest possible return date. While he's sidelined for the foreseeable future, Wanya Morris is expected to start at left tackle.

Roland-Wallace (back) won't practice Wednesday, Pete Sweeney of ArrowheadPride.com reports.

The 24-year-old didn't play in the Chiefs' Week 13 loss to the Cowboys, and his DNP on Wednesday suggests he's still dealing with a back injury. Roland-Wallace likely needs to upgrade to at least limited practice Thursday or Friday in order to suit up for the Week 14 matchup against the Texans on Sunday night.

Head coach Aaron Glenn told reporters Wednesday that Brownlee (hip) won't play in Sunday's matchup against the Dolphins.

The Louisville product is now in line to miss his second consecutive game due to a hip injury. Brownlee has appeared in seven games since being dealt from the Titans to the Jets in late September, recording 36 total tackles, two passes defensed and one forced fumble. While he remains sidelined Sunday, Ja'Sir Taylor will likely operate as the team's top slot corner.

Coach Dan Quinn noted Wednesday that he's optimistic Daniels (left elbow) will "get a lot of reps in practice" this week, but added that he's "going to take it all the way through Friday" in terms of the QB's Week 14 status, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.

Regarding what Daniels will do at practice out of the gate this week, Quinn said "we'll have to simulate as much as we can...he has not been cleared for contact." With that in mind, look for the Commanders to list the QB -- who last saw game action in Week 9 -- as a limited participant in Wednesday's session.

Collier (knee) was designated to return from the injured reserve list Wednesday, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

The 30-year-old has missed the Cardinals' last 10 games after sustaining a knee injury in the Week 2 win over the Panthers, but it now appears he's nearing a return. Collier was one of Arizona's best interior defensive linemen in 2024, recording 29 total tackles, including 3.5 sacks, and two passes defensed across 17 contests. Once fully healthy, he's expected to add depth to the Cardinals' defensive line.

The Cardinals signed Brown from their practice squad to the active roster Wednesday, Darren Urban of the team's official site reports.

The 31-year-old has appeared in the Cardinals' last three games, contributing both offensively and on special teams (25 snaps on offense and 30 on special teams). Now with the active roster, Brown will likely continue playing a depth role in Arizona's tight-end room for the remainder of the season.

Heyward (lower leg) was designated to return from the injured reserve list Wednesday.

The Duke product has missed Cincinnati's last four games after sustaining a hairline fracture in his fibula during the Week 8 loss to the Jets, but it now appears he's nearing a return. In eight appearances this season, Heyward has played 137 total snaps (130 on special teams, seven on defense) and tallied 10 total tackles. Once fully healthy, he's expected to operate as one of the Bengals' top special-teamers.

Dawkins (concussion) will practice in a limited capacity Wednesday, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports.

The 31-year-old was sidelined for Bills' Week 13 win over the Steelers after sustaining a concussion the game prior. Dawkins still needs to clear the NFL's five-step protocol in order to play in Sunday's matchup against the Bengals. If he's unable to do so, Ryan Van Demark will likely start at left tackle.

Head coach Sean McDermott told reporters that Bernard (elbow) won't practice Wednesday, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports.

Bernard has not returned to practice since sustaining an elbow injury in the Bills' Week 12 loss to the Texans. He likely needs to upgrade to at least limited practice Thursday or Friday to have a chance at suiting up for the Week 14 matchup against the Bengals. If the 26-year-old is sidelined for the second consecutive game Sunday, Shaq Thompson will likely operate as Buffalo's top middle linebacker.

Bosa won't practice Wednesday and is considered week-to-week with a hamstring injury, Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network reports.

The 30-year-old played a season-low 24 defensive snaps and likely sustained a hamstring injury in Buffalo's Week 13 win over the Steelers. Head coach Sean McDermott told reporters Wednesday that Bosa could be out anywhere from one to five weeks, but the team is hoping he returns sooner rather than later, per Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site. With Bosa likely sidelined for the Week 14 matchup against the Bills, A.J. Epenesa is expected to play a larger role on Buffalo's defensive line.
