Taliese Fuaga OT | NO
Saints' Taliese Fuaga: Cleared for Sunday
Fuaga (ankle) doesn't have an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Panthers, Jeff Nowak of WWL Radio reports.
Fuaga upgraded to a full participant in Friday's practice, just in time to dodge an injury designation for Sunday's divisional clash. The Saints are out of the playoff race, but a healthy right tackle for Tyler Shough will help them try to spoil the Panthers' shot at a division title.

Jack Conklin OT | CLE
Browns' Jack Conklin: Remaining in concussion protocol
Conklin (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Chicago, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Conklin will miss a second consecutive game while in the league's concussion protocol. He has not progressed enough in the protocol to return to practice, which jeopardizes his chances of playing Week 16 against the Bills on Sunday, Dec. 21. KT Leveston will likely start at right tackle in Conklin's absence.

Asim Richards OT | NO
Saints' Asim Richards: Will not play Sunday
Richards (ankle) is out for Sunday's matchup against the Panthers, Ross Jackson of WWL Louisiana reports.
Richards did not practice this week ahead of the Saints' Week 15 matchup against the Panthers. The 25-year-old exited in the second half of Week 14 versus the Buccaneers. Taliese Fuaga is expected to start in his place.

Christian Darrisaw OT | MIN
Vikings' Christian Darrisaw: Questionable for Sunday
Darrisaw (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Cowboys, Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com reports.
Darrisaw was a limited participant in Friday's practice, upgrading from the non-participant status he held earlier in the week. If the left tackle is unable to suit up for Sunday's game, Justin Skule will likely start in his stead.

Wyatt Teller G | CLE
Browns' Wyatt Teller: Ruled out Week 15
Teller (calf) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bears, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
As expected, Teller will miss a second straight game due to a calf injury, which has also prevented him from practicing. Teven Jenkins is poised to start at right guard for a second consecutive game in Teller's absence.

Chris Blair WR | ATL
Chris Blair: Reverts to practice squad
Blair reverted to the Falcons' practice squad Friday, per the NFL's transaction log.
The Falcons elevated Blair from the practice squad ahead of Thursday night's showdown with the Buccaneers. The wide receiver and special teamer logged three offensive snaps and five special teams snaps in the win over the division rival.

Dare Ogunbowale RB | HOU
Texans' Dare Ogunbowale: Will have normal role Week 15
Ogunbowale is expected to be a depth option Sunday, as Woody Marks, who opened the week with a knee injury, carries no injury designation ahead of the Week 15 matchup against the Cardinals.
The week started with both Marks and Nick Chubb (ribs) as non-participants in Wednesday's practice, opening a window slightly for Ogunbowale. Since then, Marks logged a limited practice Thursday and was a full participant Friday. Chubb sat out Thursday and got on the field Friday for a limited session, which included stretching on the side and working with the training staff. Ogunbowale could steal snaps from Chubb, but it looks like Marks should be a workhorse against Arizona.

Lloyd Cushenberry C | TEN
Titans' Lloyd Cushenberry: Questionable to play Sunday
Cushenberry (foot) is questionable for Sunday's matchup against the 49ers, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Cushenberry missed the past two games with a foot injury suffered in Tennessee's Week 12 loss to Seattle. The 28-year-old finished the week as a full participant, which is a positive sign for Sunday's matchup against San Francisco. If he is unable to play, Corey Levin will continue to start in his place.

Adin Huntington DE | CLE
Browns' Adin Huntington: Not playing Week 15
Huntington (quadriceps) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bears, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Huntington will miss a third consecutive game due to a quadriceps injury, so Sam Kamara and Mike Hall will continue to serve as the Browns' rotational options at defensive tackle behind Shelby Harris and rookie first-rounder Mason Graham (ribs). Huntington's next chance to play is Week 16 against the Bills on Sunday, Dec. 21.

Spencer Brown OT | BUF
Bills' Spencer Brown: Set to start Sunday
Brown (shoulder) doesn't have an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Patriots.
Brown missed consecutive games after suffering a shoulder injury in the Bills' Week 12 loss to the Texans on Thursday Night Football. The right tackle logged full participation in Friday's practice, his first time achieving the mark since the injury, and is set to start opposite Dion Dawkins in Sunday's divisional showdown.
