Palmer (knee/ankle) wasn't spotted at Thursday's practice, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.

Palmer also logged a 'DNP' in Wednesday's walkthrough, which gives him one more chance to practice before the Bills assign game statuses for Sunday's game against the Bengals. If Palmer remains sidelined this weekend, Khalil Shakir, Gabe Davis, Keon Coleman,Tyrell Shavers and Brandin Cooks would continue to handle Buffalo's WR duties versus Cincinnati.

The Commanders waived Savage on Thursday.

Savage was a healthy scratch for the Commanders' Week 13 loss to the Broncos. The organization granted the safety's request for release Thursday, Ben Standig of Big 100 Washington D.C. reports. Savage will now go on waivers and will become a free agent if he goes unclaimed.

Marks (ankle) returned to practice Thursday, Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Marks was a non-participant in Wednesday's session, so his return to the field a day later aligns with coach DeMeco Ryans' previous comment to Alexander that the running back was among the Texans' initial DNPs who should be fine for Sunday's game against the Chiefs. The team's upcoming injury report will reveal if Marks was limited Thursday or practiced fully.

Carter is expected to miss Monday's game at the Chargers after undergoing procedures on both of his shoulders this week, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

The development has left Carter week-to-week, and Schefter also reports that while this may turn into a multi-week absence for the third-year pro, injured reserve doesn't appear to be an option for him for the time being. Through 11 games this season, Carter has tallied 32 tackles, including 2.0 sacks, and six pass defenses. Byron Young figures to be the biggest beneficiary during Carter's absence alongside DTs Jordan Davis and Moro Ojomo.

Walker (knee) was seen participating in practice Thursday, Ryan O'Halloran of The Florida Times-Union reports.

Walker did not participate in Wednesday's session, so even a limited session Thursday would be a significant development for the defensive end's chances to suit up for Sunday's divisional matchup against the Colts. The starting edge rusher's presence would be a huge factor for a Jaguars team that is looking to secure its first AFC South title since the 2022 season.

Slay has informed the Bills that he is contemplating retirement and will not report to team facilities after being claimed off waivers Wednesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Slay and the Steelers mutually parted ways after the veteran cornerback was a healthy scratch during last Sunday's loss to the Bills. The very same Bills then enlisted his talent by claiming him off waivers, a move that the cornerback's former team, the Eagles, also attempted. The Bills had higher waiver priority and ended up with the 34-year-old. It is worth considering that Slay's plan was a retirement tour with the team he won a Super Bowl with last February, and the Bills' claim scuttled those plans and prevented him from serving as a potential replacement for outside cornerback Adoree' Jackson in Philadelphia.

Washington (hip) was spotted at practice Thursday, Ryan O'Halloran of The Florida Times-Union reports.

After logging a 'DNP' on Wednesday, the wideout's presence a day later offers hope that he could be available Sunday against the Colts. The Jaguars' next injury report will clarify Washington's official participation level in Thursday's session.

Conner (knee) was not listed on the Cardinals' injury report Wednesday, Zach Gershman reports.

Conner was activated from injured reserve ahead of Arizona's Week 13 matchup against the Buccaneers, but he was inactive for the game. He looks likely to make his pro debut in Week 14, though it's unclear what his role will be.

Bradford (elbow) was a full participant in Seattle's practice Wednesday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.

Bradford is back on the field just three days after suffering an elbow injury in the Week 13 win over the Vikings. The 24-year-old should continue to serve as the team's starting right guard during Sunday's game versus the Falcons.

Jeudy said Wednesday that he and quarterback Shedeur Sanders have moved on from a heated conversation in Sunday's loss to the 49ers, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports.

Cameras caught the two players before they were separated by teammate Ethan Pocic. "We spoke about it," Jeudy said. "We're good. It's an emotional sport. Things happen in football." The receiver, who had a career-high 90 catches and earned a Pro Bowl nod in 2024, is having a frustrating season and is working with his third quarterback (and second rookie). Since Sanders took over as the starting QB, Jeudy has four catches on seven targets for 65 yards over the last two games.
