Davenport (shoulder) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Steelers.

Davenport went down in the fourth quarter with a shoulder injury he sustained during a rep on the defensive line. If the defensive end is unable to return, Tyrus Wheat may receive more rotational snaps at defensive end to close out the game.

Dike caught three of five targets for 40 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 26-9 win over Kansas City. He added 145 yards on five kickoff and three punt returns.

The rookie slot receiver and return star scored his third receiving TD in the last five games, and fourth of the season, on a one-yard connection with Cam Ward in the third quarter. Dike has added two punt-return scores to his ledger in 2025, and his 2,269 all-purpose yards through 15 games leads the NFL by a wide margin. Dike will look to pad his totals in Week 17 against the Saints.

Barmore (knee) is active for Sunday Night Football against the Ravens.

The defensive end entered the day with a questionable tag after missing practice Friday, though he did participate in Wednesday and Thursday's sessions. Barmore's absence Friday appears to have been a precaution, as he's healthy enough to play. The fifth-year pro has 26 tackles (12 solo), including 1.0 sacks, on the year.

Urban (illness) is active for Sunday night's game against the Patriots.

Urban seems to have overcome the last-minute illness that afflicted him Saturday in time to play in Sunday night's contest. The starting defensive end will suit up opposite Travis Jones to attempt to stop Drake Maye and the Patriots' offense.

Jenkins (illness) is active for Sunday night's game against the Patriots.

Jenkins seems to have recovered from the illness that caused him to miss consecutive practices to end Week 16. The nose tackle should be ready to rock for Sunday night's prime-time contest. The 36-year-old has yet to miss a game this season, coming into Sunday night with 34 tackles (15 solo), including 1.0 sacks and two forced fumbles through 14 games.

DeVito (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday Night Football against the Ravens.

DeVito will serve as the emergency third QB for New England, meaning he can enter the game if Drake Maye or Joshua Dobbs get injured, sick or ejected. The quarterback has not yet appeared in a regular-season game in 2025.

Ayomanor caught three of four targets for 58 yards in Sunday's 26-9 win over Kansas City.

While the production was modest, Ayomanor led the Titans in receiving yards while catching more than two passes for the first time since Week 9. With Cam Ward beginning to assert himself, the Tennessee passing attack has a little more upside than it did to begin the season, but Ayomanor's 34-428-3 line on 72 targets over 14 games won't make him an appealing fantasy option in Week 17 against the Saints.

Fitzgerald made all three of his field-goal attempts and both of his extra-point tries during the Panthers' 23-20 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday.

Fitzgerald nailed both of his field-goal attempts from 27 and 41 yards in the first half, and he gave the Panthers the lead with a 48-yarder late in the fourth quarter. Sunday marked the fourth time this season that Fitzgerald has connected on three field goals in a game, and the undrafted rookie is 23-for-27 on field-goal attempts and 24-for-27 on point-after tries through 15 regular-season games.

Awuzie (foot) is inactive for Sunday night's game against the Patriots.

Awuzie was only able to log a single limited practice in Week 16, and it seems the 30-year-old's mobility was not where it needed to be for him to suit up for Sunday Night Football. T.J. Tampa will likely start at outside cornerback opposite Nate Wiggins in Awuzie's stead.

Reichard connected on all three of his field-goal attempts and made his lone point-after try during the Vikings' 16-13 win over the Giants on Sunday.

Reichard was responsible for 10 of the Vikings' 16 points Sunday, connecting on field goals from 43, 31 and 30 yards. It's the 10th time this season that the second-year kicker has made two or more field goals in a game, and his three makes were his most since Week 7 against the Eagles, when he made all five of his field-goal attempts. Reichard has been one of the most accurate kickers in the NFL this season, and through 15 regular-season games he has gone 27-for-29 on field-goal attempts (93.1 percent) and 28-for-28 on point-after tries.
