Dean (hamstring) has been downgraded to out for Saturday's divisional matchup against the Commanders.

Dean was initially forced off the field in the first quarter due to a hamstring injury. With Dean done for the day, increased defensive snaps will be allotted to Jeremiah Trotter and Smael Mondon.

Lane (ankle) has been downgraded to out for Saturday's game against the Eagles.

Lane will miss the remainder of Saturday's divisional matchup due to an ankle injury suffered in the first quarter. In his stead, Deebo Samuel will operate as Washington's top kick returner, while Treylon Burks and Chris Moore will stand to benefit from increased offensive snaps.

Green (hamstring/illness) has been activated from injured reserve Saturday and remains questionable for Sunday's game against the Vikings.

Green appears to be trending in the right direction for Sunday's matchup and is now eligible to play in Week 16, but he's still officially listed as questionable. If active versus Minnesota, Green will likely contribute on special teams for New York.

Urban (illness) has been added to Baltimore's injury report and is questionable for Sunday's game against the Patriots.

Urban has picked up a last-minute illness, meaning his status for Week 16 may come down to the wire of Sunday night's 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff. Aeneas Peebles and CJ Okoye will figure to handle expanded roles at defensive end if Urban is unable to play in Week 16.

Meyer (triceps) was not activated from injured reserve Saturday and is ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bengals, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Meyer had his 21-day practice window opened Dec. 11 but is not yet ready to come off IR. His next chance to return to the field will come in Week 17 versus Tampa Bay on Sunday, Dec. 28.

Jacobs (knee/ankle) is expected to take the field against Chicago on Saturday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Jacobs didn't practice at all this week due to a pair of injuries and was considered a game-time decision for Saturday's matchup. It appears the veteran running back is going to give it a go in a contest that could go a long way toward determining the winner of the NFC North. It remains to be seen if Jacobs will be limited in any way, but if he does indeed play, he should lead Green Bay's backfield ahead of No. 2 RB Emanuel Wilson.

Rourke (knee) is ruled out for Monday's game against the Colts, Briana Jeannel of the team's official site reports.

Rourke will remain on the reserve/non-football injury list for at least one more week. The rookie seventh-round pick has managed to practice in full since having his 21-day practice window opened Dec. 8, but he's nonetheless not ready to join the 53-man roster.

Pierce (Achilles) does not carry an injury designation for Monday's game against the 49ers.

Pierce was limited to open Week 16 prep due to an Achilles injury, but he's been cleared to play Monday after logging back-to-back full practices to end the week. Pierce was held to just one catch (on as many targets) for 16 yards during the Colts' Week 15 loss to the Seahawks, and his fantasy floor figures to be lower for the rest of the regular season with Philip Rivers under center.

The Lions activated Mahogany (lower leg) from injured reserve Saturday, and he remains questionable for Sunday's contest against the Steelers.

Mahogany appears to be trending in the right direction for Week 16, but the final word on his status may not arrive until 90 minutes before Sunday's 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff. He stands to start at left guard if cleared to play Week 16.

The Dolphins placed Campbell (ankle) on injured reserve Saturday.

Campbell will miss Miami's final three games of the regular season due to an ankle injury. His 2025 campaign comes to a wrap with five tackles (four solo) across 10 regular-season appearances.
