  • Coby Bryant SAF | SEA

    Seahawks' Coby Bryant: Likely missing time

    Bryant (knee) is expected to miss "some time" based on initial tests, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

    The Cincinnati product sustained a knee injury in Thursday night's overtime win over the Rams, and it now appears the issue will likely sideline him for a period of time. Bryant is a crucial part of the Seahawks' secondary, recording 66 total tackles, seven passes defensed, including four interceptions, and one forced fumble across 15 games this season. If he's out for the Week 17 matchup against the Panthers, Ty Okada is likely the next man up at strong safety.

  • Rams' Colby Parkinson: Busts against former team

    Parkinson secured two of four targets for 21 yards during Thursday's 38-37 overtime loss to the Seahawks.

    Despite Matthew Stafford putting up monster numbers (457 yards passing and three touchdowns), Parkinson failed to make much of an impact against the team that drafted him in 2020. Terrance Ferguson earned the lone touchdown for the Rams' tight end corps in the contest, while Parkinson failed to see a target in the red zone. While the veteran tight end has touchdowns in five of his last seven games and led the trio in snap count, this game served as a reminder of Parkinson's floor. If Tyler Higbee (ankle) returns next week for the Week 17 showdown with the Falcons, this already crowded tight end room would be even more difficult to navigate for fantasy purposes.

  • Kyle Pitts TE | ATL

    Falcons' Kyle Pitts: Cleared to play

    Pitts (knee) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game at Arizona.

    The Falcons added Pitts to their injury report mid-week, listing him as a limited participant Thursday and Friday. The lack of game designation suggests Pitts will be ready for his usual near-every-down role against an ice-cold defense, but it remains to be seen if the tight end can keep his hot streaking going with WR Drake London (questionable - knee) potentially returning from a four-game absence.

  • Grant Delpit SAF | CLE

    Browns' Grant Delpit: Past groin injury

    Delpit (groin) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Bills, Chris Easterling of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

    The 27-year-old practiced in a limited fashion Wednesday and Thursday due to a groin issue, but Friday's full session indicates he's moved past the injury in time to play in Week 16. Now fully healthy, Delpit is expected to start opposite Ronnie Hickman in the Browns' secondary.

  • Tee Higgins WR | CIN

    Bengals' Tee Higgins: Questionable after full practice

    Higgins (concussion) was a full participant in practice Friday but is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Dolphins.

    Higgins upgraded to full participation after a pair of limited practices, which marks another step forward as he works his way through the NFL's five-step concussion protocol, but he still needs to earn clearance from an independent neurologist before he can play again. If Higgins is cleared, the star wide receiver would likely return Sunday after missing his team's Week 15 loss to the Ravens. Either way, since the Bengals kick off Sunday at 1:00 p.m. ET, those considering Higgins in Week 16 fantasy lineups will have his playing status confirmed before the first wave of games that day.

  • Browns' Carson Schwesinger: Ready for Sunday

    Schwesinger (ankle) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Bills, Chris Easterling of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

    The 22-year-old upgraded from limited practice Wednesday and Thursday to a full session Friday, suggesting he's moved past his ankle issue in time to play Sunday. Schwesinger has had an incredible rookie campaign thus far, recording 133 total tackles, including 1.5 sacks, and three passes defensed, with two interceptions, over 14 contests. He's expected to serve as the Browns' top middle linebacker in Week 16.

  • Kris Jenkins DT | CIN

    Bengals' Kris Jenkins: Officially placed on IR

    Jenkins (ankle) was placed on the injured reserve list Friday.

    The second-year pro from Michigan sustained an ankle injury in the Week 15 loss to the Ravens and will now be sidelined for the remainder of the season. Through 14 appearances this year, Jenkins recorded 36 total tackles, including 1.5 sacks, and one pass defensed. Expect McKinnley Jackson to have a larger role on the Bengals' defensive line with Jenkins out for the year.

  • Noah Fant TE | CIN

    Bengals' Noah Fant: Won't play in Week 16

    Fant (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Dolphins.

    Fant will sit out due to the ankle injury he sustained in this past Sunday's loss to the Ravens. Drew Sample, Tanner Hudson or Cam Grandy could play additional snaps alongside Mike Gesicki due to Fant's absence. Fant's next chance to play will be Week 17 against the Cardinals.

  • Shemar Stewart DE | CIN

    Bengals' Shemar Stewart: Activated for Week 16

    Stewart (knee) was activated from the injured reserve list Friday and has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Dolphins.

    Stewart had missed the Bengals' last five games due to a knee injury suffered in the Week 9 loss to the Bears, but following a week of full practice sessions, he's ready to suit up Sunday. The 2025 first-round pick from Texas A&M has tallied just six total tackles in five appearances this season. Now fully healthy, he's expected to start opposite Myles Murphy in Week 16.

  • Andru Phillips CB | NYG

    Giants' Dru Phillips: Past heel injury

    Phillips (heel) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Vikings, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

    Despite practicing in a limited fashion throughout the week, Phillips has moved past his heel injury in time to suit up for Sunday's matchup. The second-year pro from Kentucky has appeared in all 14 of the Giants' games this season, recording 54 total tackles and 12 passes defensed, including two interceptions. He's expected to serve as the team's top slot corner in Week 16.
