Jeremy Chinn SAF | LV
Raiders' Jeremy Chinn: Pops up on injury report
Chinn (back) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Broncos, Ryan McFadden of ESPN.com reports.
Chinn wasn't on the injury report Wednesday or Thursday, but he was unable to practice at all Friday due to a back issue. It's unclear how serious the injury may be, and his status likely won't be known until shortly before the game kicks off at 4:05 pm ET on Sunday.

Buccaneers' Rashad Wisdom: Won't suit up vs. Saints
Wisdom (quadriceps) is out for Sunday's game versus New Orleans, River Wells of Sports Illustrated reports.
Wisdom will sit out his ninth consecutive game Sunday as he continues to recover from a quad injury he suffered in Week 4 versus the Eagles. Tampa Bay will have to continue to try to replace his production on special teams.

Maxx Crosby DE | LV
Raiders' Maxx Crosby: Questionable for Week 14
Crosby (knee) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Broncos, Ryan McFadden of ESPN.com reports.
Crosby wasn't able to practice Thursday or Friday after turning in a limited session Wednesday, but the Raiders are still giving him a chance to suit up. His chances of playing appear slim, but Crosby hasn't been sidelined since Week 4 of the 2024 campaign.

Malik Cunningham WR | DET
Malik Cunningham: Goes back to practice squad
Cunningham reverted to Detroit's practice squad Friday, per the NFL's transactions log.
Cunningham played just one of the Lions' 62 offensive snaps during Thursday's 44-30 win versus the Cowboys, taking a direct snap for one yard in the middle of the third quarter. The Lions can still elevate him from the practice squad to the active roster two more times this season.

Alex Bachman WR | LV
Raiders' Alex Bachman: Wont' suit up against Denver
Bachman (thumb) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Broncos, Ryan McFadden of ESPN.com reports.
Bachman has contributed primarily on special teams, and he will miss his third game of the campaign. While he's served only as pass-catching depth, the Raiders will be shorthanded at wide receiver with Dont'e Thornton (concussion) also sidelined.

Jack Bech WR | LV
Raiders' Jack Bech: Chance to step up
Head coach Pete Carroll said Bech will have the chance to earn an increased role in Sunday's game against the Broncos due to the absence of Dont'e Thornton (concussion), Ryan McFadden of ESPN.com reports.
Bech has had a quiet rookie season, logging only 192 offensive snaps and 15 targets across 12 games. However, with both Thornton and Alex Bachman ruled out, the Raiders currently only have three healthy wide receivers heading into Sunday's divisional matchup. Bech should log his highest snap count of the season, though that's no guarantee of production given the state of the Raiders' offense.

CeeDee Lamb WR | DAL
Cowboys' CeeDee Lamb: Optimism for Week 15
Head coach Brian Schottenheimer relayed to reporters Friday that Lamb "had a good day" one day after sustaining a concussion during the Cowboys' 44-30 loss to the Lions on Thursday, Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.
Lamb was in the midst of his most productive game of the season Thursday before exiting in the third quarter due to a concussion. Lamb and the Cowboys have additional time to rest and recover ahead of their Week 15 clash against the Vikings on Sunday, Dec. 14, but the sixth-year wideout would have to pass an evaluation administered by an independent neurologist in order to clear the league's concussion protocol. If Lamb were to miss time, George Pickens would assume the WR1 spot and Ryan Flournoy, KaVontae Turpin, Jalen Tolbert and Jake Ferguson would all be in line for more work in the passing game.

Tristan Wirfs OT | TB
Buccaneers' Tristan Wirfs: Questionable for Sunday vs. Saints
Wirfs (oblique) is questionable for Sunday's game versus New Orleans, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.
Wirfs was limited at practice during the week due to an oblique issue, and it seems like he has close to coin-flip odds of playing in Week 14. If he can't go Sunday, Charlie Heck would figure to make the start at tackle opposite Luke Goedeke.

Dont'e Thornton Jr. WR | LV
Raiders' Dont'e Thornton: Ruled out for Week 14
Thornton (concussion) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Broncos, Ryan McFadden of ESPN.com reports.
Thornton suffered a concussion in the Raiders' Week 13 loss to the Chargers and couldn't practice at all during the week. That suggests he hasn't made much progress through the league's concussion protocol. Jack Bech is expected to have a chance to step up in Thornton's absence.

D.J. Jones DT | DEN
Broncos' D.J. Jones: Out for Week 14
Jones (ankle) is officially listed as out for Sunday's game at Las Vegas, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.
Jones will miss his first game of the season in Week 14 as he nurses an ankle injury that held him out of practice all week. In his absence, Eyioma Uwazurike could see extra work on the defensive line against the pass-happy Raiders.
