Dalton Kincaid TE | BUF
Bills' Dalton Kincaid: Inactive Sunday
Kincaid (knee) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Eagles.
Kincaid was listed as a non-participant at practice Wednesday and Thursday before being deemed limited Friday and questionable to face Philadelphia. Now that he's been made inactive, Dawson Knox will have an opportunity to lead the Bills' Week 17 TE corps, with Jackson Hawes and Keleki Latu also in the mix. Kincaid will thus target a return to action in Week 18 versus the Jets.

Brooks (hamstring) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Buccaneers.
Brooks is being evaluated by medical staff to determine whether he can return to Sunday's game. Willie Gay, K.J. Britt and Quinton Bell are candidates for more snaps on defense for as long as Brooks is out of the game.

Panthers' Robert Rochell: Enters concussion protocol
Rochell has entered the league's concussion protocol and has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Seahawks, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.
Rochell appeared to be shaken up while on punt coverage in the first half and is now in concussion protocol after being evaluated by medical staff. He has served exclusively on special teams, so his absence won't impact the Panthers' secondary much for the rest of Sunday's game.

Giants' Rakeem Nunez-Roches: Inactive with ankle issue
Nunez-Roches (ankle) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Raiders, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Nunez-Roches will miss his third consecutive game with persistent ankle and toe injuries. Darius Alexander is set to start at defensive end opposite Chauncey Golston yet again as the 2-13 Giants square off against the 2-13 Raiders in a game that will likely decide the No. 1 overall pick.

Raiders' Raheem Mostert: Inactive for Week 17
Mostert (ankle/knee) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Giants.
Mostert earned the questionable tag for Week 17 after logging a limited practice Friday, but he will not end up not playing Sunday after going through pregame warmups. Dylan Laube and Zamir White will serve as the backup running backs behind Ashton Jeanty against the Giants.

Jack Bech WR | LV
Raiders' Jack Bech: Won't play vs. NYG
Bech (back) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Giants.
Bech popped up on Friday's injury report due to a back injury and has not been cleared to play Sunday after going through pregame warmups. Bech's absence means Tyler Lockett, Alex Bachman and Dont'e Thornton are in line for larger roles on offense alongside Tre Tucker. With the Raiders eliminated from playoff contention, Bech's last opportunity to play this season is Week 18 against the Chiefs.

Rashid Shaheed WR | SEA
Seahawks' Rashid Shaheed: Concussion confirmed
Shaheed has been diagnosed with a concussion and won't return to Sunday's game at Carolina, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Shaheed was slammed to the turf out of bounds at the end of his eight-yard catch near the end of the first quarter and was slow to get up. He was evaluated for a possible head injury, which now has been confirmed. With Shaheed out for the rest of Week 17 and Cody White also exiting due to a groin injury, Cooper Kupp, Dareke Young and Jake Bobo currently are the healthy WRs available to Seattle's offense that aren't named Jaxon Smith-Njigba.
