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: Won't 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 (thumb) ruled out, the Raiders currently have only 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. He 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 will 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 all would 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.

Nate Adkins TE | DEN
Broncos' Nate Adkins: Won't play at Las Vegas
Adkins (knee) is officially listed as out for Sunday's game against the Raiders, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.
Adkins did not participate at practice at all during the week, as he continues to tend to a knee injury he suffered in Week 8 versus the Cowboys. Adam Trautman and two-time Pro Bowler Evan Engram are currently the only two healthy tight ends on Denver's 53-man roster.

Zack Baun LB | PHI
Eagles' Zack Baun: Still limited at practice Friday
Baun (hand) was a limited participant at practice Friday, Andrew DiCecco of InsideTheBirds.com reports.
Baun was a surprise addition to the Eagles' injury report Thursday with a hand issue, and he's still not at 100 percent as the team continues its preparations for Week 14. He'll probably have to practice in full Saturday to avoid carrying an injury designation ahead of Monday's game against the Chargers.
