Mayfield is expected to start Sunday against the Cardinals and could wear padding to protect his left shoulder, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

Mayfield sustained a low-grade AC joint sprain in his left shoulder during the Buccaneers' Week 12 loss to the Rams. Teddy Bridgewater opened Week 13 prep taking reps with the first-team offense, but Mayfield logged a full practice Friday to draw the questionable tag and is expected to suit up Sunday. Mayfield's status may not be officially known until Tampa Bay announces its list of inactive players approximately 90 minutes before the 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff.

Baun totaled eight tackles (three solo) Friday in a Week 13 loss to Chicago.

Baun finished the game as the Eagles' fourth-leading tackler. He's been very consistent in that category this season, logging at least six tackles in each of Philadelphia's first 12 contests. That gives Baun a very reliable IDP floor.

Dean posted 12 tackles (five solo) and a defensed pass Friday in a loss to the Bears.

Dean's tackle total was second highest on Philadelphia behind Reed Blankenship's 14. It was also by far Dean's best mark of the campaign; previously, his season-high mark had been seven in Week 10 against Green Bay. Dean had posted a sack in three straight contests coming into Friday, and though he couldn't extend that streak, he continues to be a viable IDP asset after missing the first five games of the campaign while recovering from a knee injury.

Blankenship tallied 14 tackles (eight solo) Friday in a Week 13 loss to Chicago.

Blankenship led the Eagles in stops while recording easily his highest mark of the season. His previous campaign-best mark was eight tackles last week against Dallas, and Friday marked his first regular-season performance of double-digit stops since Week 11 of last year. Blankenship is up to 64 tackles and four defensed passes, including an interception, though 12 contests in 2025.

Turpin caught two passes on as many targets for 28 yards and added three carries for 33 yards during the Cowboys' 31-28 win over the Chiefs on Thursday. He also added 118 yards on five kickoff returns.

Turpin continued to serve in a gadget role in the Cowboys offense Thursday, and he surpassed 50 yards from scrimmage for a second straight game and for the fourth time this season. The fourth-year pro's speed makes him a big-play threat on every down and has earned him a small but consistent role. Turpin is up to 19 catches (on 28 targets) for 260 yards and a touchdown along with 12 carries for 63 yards across 10 regular-season games, and his 1,036 yards on kickoffs (on 40 returns) is third most in the NFL behind Chimere Dike (1,206) and Myles Price (1,058).

FitzPatrick didn't catch his only target in a 31-24 win over Detroit on Thursday.

FitzPatrick again took the field with Green Bay's starters, but he got exactly one target for the third straight week. After surpassing a 60 percent offensive snap share each of the previous two weeks, he logged just a 24 percent share Thursday, while Luke Musgrave (59 percent) and Josh Whyle (51 percent) worked well ahead of him in the tight-end pecking order. That could be an indication that Whyle is going to eat more into FitzPatrick's opportunities moving forward.

Flournoy caught three passes on as many targets for 34 yards during the Cowboys' 31-28 win over the Chiefs on Thursday.

Two of Flournoy's three catches came during the Cowboys' first offensive drive of the second quarter, which helped lead to a 49-yard field goal from Brandon Aubrey. Flournoy's three receptions were his most since Week 6 against the Panthers, and his 27 snaps on offense were third most among Cowboys wide receivers behind CeeDee Lamb (58) and George Pickens (53) and ahead of KaVontae Turpin (26). Flournoy is up to 20 catches (on 29 targets) for 234 yards and two touchdowns across 12 regular-season games.

Heath didn't catch his only target in Thursday's 31-24 win over the Lions.

Jordan Love tossed 30 passes for the first time in three weeks, but only one of them went to Heath, who now has gone without a reception in each of his past three games. Heath logged as many offensive snaps (11) as receiver-turned-cornerback Bo Melton, while Romeo Doubs (53), Christian Watson (46) and Dontayvion Wicks (31) featured as Green Bay's top three wideouts. Heath's role could shrink further when Matthew Golden (wrist) or Savion Williams (foot) return to action.

Brooks didn't get any carries but caught both of his targets for nine yards in Thursday's 31-24 win over Detroit.

On a day when six different Packers -- including three WRs -- got at least one carry, Brooks was invisible in the running game. However, he did notch a pair of catches to ensure his name appeared in the box score. Brooks has 11 rushes and 10 catches on the campaign as Green Bay's No. 3 RB, so it's not out of the norm for him to be featured more as a pass catcher than as a ball carrier during his limited offensive snaps.

Davis turned three carries into 47 yards and a touchdown during the Cowboys' 31-28 win over the Chiefs on Thursday.

Davis played just nine snaps on offense compared to Javonte Williams' 56, but the former helped give the Cowboys a 17-14 lead in the second quarter with a 43-yard touchdown run. With rookie fifth-rounder Jaydon Blue a healthy scratch for each of Dallas' last four games, Davis appears to be fully entrenched as the RB2 behind Williams, though the latter figures to still serve as the team's workhorse out of the backfield. Davis has logged 10 carries for 91 yards across three games since the Cowboys' Week 10 bye.
