  • Nick Chubb RB | HOU

    Texans' Nick Chubb: Not practicing

    Chubb (ribs) didn't practice Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

    Wilson notes that Chubb is the only Texan absent from Wednesday's practice who actually seems in danger of missing Sunday's game against the Cardinals. The group include fellow running back Woody Marks, who briefly left Sunday's win over the Chiefs with an ankle injury but then quickly returned and took a series of carries without incident. Dare Ogunbowale filled in and scored a TD during Marks' temporary absence.

  • Joey Bosa DE | BUF

    Bills' Joey Bosa: Limited in Wednesday's walk-through

    Bosa (hamstring) will be listed as limited at Wednesday's walk-through practice, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.

    Bosa sat out Buffalo's Week 14 win over the Bengals due to a hamstring injury. He didn't practice in any capacity leading up to that absence, so Bosa's limited listing Wednesday is an encouraging sign, though it remains to be seen what his participation level will be when the Bills hold an actual practice Thursday in preparation for Sunday's showdown with the Patriots.

  • Dominic Lovett WR | DET

    Lions' Dominic Lovett: Relegated to special teams

    Lovett went without a target while playing two of the Lions' 62 snaps on offense in Thursday's 44-30 win over the Cowboys.

    The rookie wideout has been active for all but one of Detroit's 13 games this season, but he's been used almost exclusively on special teams. He's played 14 offensive snaps in total and has yet to draw a target.

  • Raiders' Kenny Pickett: Likely starting against former team

    Pickett likely will replace Geno Smith (shoulder) as the starting quarterback for Sunday's game against the Eagles, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Smith isn't practicing Wednesday and reportedly isn't expected to be ready by Sunday. The Raiders might've gone in this direction at some point in December even without the impetus of an injury, given the consistently poor performance of their offense this season.

  • Sauce Gardner CB | IND

    Colts' Sauce Gardner: DNP to kick off Week 15 prep

    Gardner (calf) won't practice Wednesday, Mike Chappell of FOX 59/CBS 4 Sports reports.

    Gardner hasn't practiced or played since sustaining a calf injury Nov. 30 against the Texans. The Colts placed fellow starting cornerback Charvarius Ward (concussion) on injured reserve Wednesday, so they will be significantly depleted in the secondary against Jaxon Smith-Njigba and the Seahawks if Gardner isn't available Sunday.

  • Geno Smith QB | LV

    Raiders' Geno Smith: Unlikely to start this week

    Smith (shoulder) won't practice Wednesday and is considered unlikely to start Sunday's game against the Eagles, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Kenny Pickett is thus in line to start against his former team, with Aidan O'Connell presumably taking over the backup role. Pickett replaced Smith after he suffered a shoulder injury late in the third quarter of Sunday's 24-17 loss to the Broncos.

  • Woody Marks RB | HOU

    Texans' Woody Marks: Not practicing Wednesday

    Marks missed Wednesday's practice due to an ankle injury, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

    Marks and Nick Chubb (ankle) both are absent after suffering injuries during Sunday's 20-10 win over the Chiefs. Chubb left the game in the first half and didn't come back, while Marks returned after missing just a couple of plays (one of which was a five-yard TD run by Dare Ogunbowale). While largely used as a passing-down specialist throughout this pro career, Ogunbowale could temporarily take over as Houston's lead runner if Marks and Chubb aren't ready for Sunday's matchup with Arizona. On the other hand, a return to practice Thursday/Friday would put Marks on track for the lead role again, this time in a favorable matchup with the ice-cold Cardinals defense.

  • Colts' DeForest Buckner: Window to return from IR opens

    Buckner (neck) had his 21-day practice window opened Wednesday, Mike Chappell of FOX 59/CBS 4 Sports reports.

    Buckner will be a limited participant at practice Wednesday, per Stephen Holder of ESPN.com. The defensive tackle has been on injured reserve since Nov. 7. The Colts have 21 days to add Buckner back to the active roster, and such a move could transpire prior to Sunday's game against the Seahawks, though he would presumably need to upgrade to full practice participation without any setbacks first.

  • Malachi Corley WR | CLE

    Browns' Malachi Corley: LP on Wednesday, still in protocol

    Corley (concussion) will be a limited practice participant Wednesday but is still in concussion protocol, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.

    Corley is making progress in his recovery from a concussion sustained in this past Sunday's loss to the Titans. In order to gain clearance to face the Bears on Sunday, Corley would need to progress to full practice participation by Friday, then be cleared by an independent neurologist.

  • Kyle Pitts TE | ATL

    Falcons' Kyle Pitts: Questionable for Thursday

    Pitts (knee) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game in Tampa Bay, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

    Pitts has been listed as limited on all three Week 15 practice reports due to a knee injury, leaving his status up in the air for Thursday. During Drake London's (knee) current three-game absence that is extending to four contests this week, Pitts has been more active in the passing game, with a 15-197-0 line on 23 targets during that span. Assuming Pitts is able to suit up, he'll remain a key target for QB Kirk Cousins.
