Tyler Goodson RB | IND
Colts' Tyler Goodson: Not involved on offense Sunday
Goodson returned a kickoff for 25 yards while playing all 14 of his snaps on special teams in Sunday's 24-6 loss to the Lions.
In a game in which Indianapolis logged just 49 offensive snaps, the Colts didn't need to turn to Goodson to spell Jonathan Taylor or Trey Sermon, who remain ahead of him on the depth chart at running back. Barring either Taylor or Sermon missing time to injury, Goodson -- who has logged no carries and four targets over the Colts' last five contests -- doesn't look as though he'll have a role on offense in the final six weeks of the season.

Colts' Tyler Goodson: No snaps on offense
Goodson played 14 snaps on special teams and had 25 return yards and a tackle in Sunday's 24-6 loss to the Lions.
Goodson didn't see the field on offense for the first time this season, but he did have an impact on special teams. He'll likely need an injury in the backfield to see any noticeable work on offense.

Tommy DeVito QB | NYG
Giants' Tommy DeVito: Banged up after Week 12 start
Giants head coach Brian Daboll said that he's "hopeful" DeVito (undisclosed) will be able to start Thursday's game against the Cowboys, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.
Though Daboll didn't go into specifics about what type of injury DeVito might be dealing with coming out Sunday's 30-7 loss to the Buccaneers, the second-year quarterback gave way to backup Drew Lock for one snap in the fourth quarter after he appeared to have the wind knocked out of him following a hit. While he didn't commit any turnovers in Sunday's loss, DeVito took four sacks while completing 21 of 31 pass attempts for a modest 189 yards and no touchdowns. The starting job looks like it will belong to DeVito for at least one more game if he can suit up, but he may need a better showing in the Thanksgiving Day matchup with Dallas to retain his spot atop the depth chart for the balance of the season.

Buccaneers' Jordan Whitehead: Season may be over
Whitehead may have suffered a torn pectoral in Sunday's win over the Giants, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Whitehead will undergo an MRI to receive confirmation of the severity, and if that is the diagnosis, it will put an early end to the 27-year-old's season. His absence would certainly be a blow to the team's secondary and thrust the recently acquired Mike Edwards into a starting role.

Chad Ryland K | ARI
Cardinals' Chad Ryland: Handles all the scoring
Ryland made two of his three field-goal attempts in Sunday's 17-6 loss to the Seahawks.
Ryland was successful on 35 and 22-yard FGAs to account for all six points Arizona put on the board Sunday. However, the second-year pro did miss a 47-yard opportunity wide left with just seconds left in the game, which could have pulled the Cardinals within eight. With a Matt Prater (knee) return looming, it's possible this was Ryland's last week as the team's kicker.

Spencer Shrader K | KC
Chiefs' Spencer Shrader: Perfect in close win
Shrader made all of his three field-goal tries and converted all of his three extra-point attempts during Sunday's 30-27 win at Carolina.
Among Shrader's field goals in Week 12 was a 31-yarder as time expired to win the game for the Chiefs. He hasn't missed a kick since he took over at the position for Kansas City in Week 11, and he'll be looking to build on his success in Week 13 versus the Raiders.

Daniel Carlson K | LV
Raiders' Daniel Carlson: Buries four field goals in loss
Carlson made all four of his field-goal attempts and converted his lone extra-point try in Sunday's 29-19 loss to the Broncos.
Carlson's impressive 13-point day was highlighted by a 53-yard boot to pull the Raiders within three points of the Broncos in the fourth quarter. He's now made 17 consecutive field-goal attempts dating back to Week 4, though a tough test awaits in Week 13 outdoors against the Chiefs at Arrowhead Stadium.

Austin Seibert K | WAS
Commanders' Austin Seibert: Misses prove costly vs. Cowboys
Seibert made two of his three field-goal tries and missed both of his two extra-point attempts during Sunday's 34-26 loss versus Dallas.
Seibert's day at the office in Week 12 was far from ideal overall, but his most impactful mistake was missing an extra-point try that would have tied the game at 27-27 with 21 seconds remaining to play. Instead Washington had to attempt an onside kick, and like salt on a wound, Seibert's kick on that play was returned for a touchdown. He'll be looking to bounce back in Week 13 versus the Titans.

Joey Slye K | NE
Patriots' Joey Slye: Misses lone field-goal try Sunday
Slye missed his only field-goal attempt but converted his only extra-point try during Sunday's 34-15 loss at Miami.
Slye's only shot at a field goal in Week 12 came towards the end of the first quarter, and he drove the 45-yard kick off the right upright. He has now missed a kick in three of his last four games heading into a Week 13 matchup versus the Colts.

Matt Gay K | IND
Colts' Matt Gay: Provides Indy's only points Sunday
Gay made both of his two field-goal tries during Sunday's 24-6 loss versus the Lions.
On a day where the Colts were only able to muster 268 yards of total offense, scoring opportunities were few for their kicker. Gay knocked through two chip shots in the first half, but he didn't get any more chances in the second. Indianapolis will travel to take on New England's inconsistent defense in Week 13.
