Little (concussion) does not have an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Broncos.

Little was held out of Jacksonville's last two games due to a concussion. However, he practiced in full throughout the week, and his lack of an injury designation suggests he's cleared the league's concussion protocol. Little should return to start at left tackle.

Strnad (foot) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Jaguars.

Strnad was unable to practice all week due to a foot injury, and his next opportunity to play will be Thursday against the Chiefs. Without Strnad, the Broncos will have one less contributor on special teams and have less depth in their linebacker corps.

Head coach Sean McVay said Friday that Dotson is nursing a sprained left ankle and is doubtful to play in Week 17 against the Falcons on Monday, Dec. 29, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.

Dotson was carted off the field during the first quarter of the Rams' overtime loss to the Seahawks on Thursday. He was diagnosed with an ankle sprain after undergoing further tests, and even with the extra time to recover, it appears the sixth-year offensive lineman will miss at least one game. Justin Dedich is a candidate to start at right guard against Atlanta if Dotson is indeed ruled out for Week 17.

McLeod (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Broncos.

McLeod has been on injured reserve all season but managed to return to practice this week. He logged limited sessions each day, suggesting a return in Week 17 is possible.

The Raiders claimed Martin off waivers from the Steelers on Friday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Martin will be with his third team of the season after spending time with the Chiefs and Steelers. His lone regular-season appearance came in the Steelers' Week 13 loss to the Bills, when he logged 12 snaps (10 on defense, two on special teams) without showing up in the box score otherwise.

Guyton (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Chargers, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

Guyton was unable to practice all week due to an ankle injury and will miss a fourth consecutive game as a result. Nate Thomas should continue to start at left tackle in Guyton's absence.

Striggow (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Broncos.

Striggow suffered an ankle injury in Jacksonville's Week 15 win over the Jets. He was unable to practice in any capacity leading up to the team's Week 16 matchup against Denver, leaving it as little surprise that he's been ruled out.

Peat (concussion) does not have an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Lions, Mike DeFabo of The Athletic reports.

Peat was sidelined for Pittsburgh's Week 15 win over Miami due to a concussion. He practiced in a limited capacity each day in preparation for Sunday's game against the Lions, but his lack of an injury designation suggests he has cleared the league's concussion protocol. Peat should start at left tackle in Week 16.

Mitchell-Paden (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Jets, Ross Jackson of WWL Louisiana reports.

Mitchell-Paden popped up on Friday's injury report due to a knee issue, which earned him the questionable tag for Sunday's game. However, he has been a healthy scratch for the Saints' last two games, so his absence wouldn't impact how New Orleans deploys its tight ends all that much.

Richards (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Jets, Ross Jackson of WWL Louisiana reports.

Richards will be sidelined for a second consecutive game due to an ankle injury, so the Saints' depth on the offensive line will be thinned out. His next opportunity to play is Week 17 against the Titans on Sunday, Dec. 28.
