Damien Williams (Rib) Will Not Practice Wednesday
Williams did not participate Wednesday as he deals with a rib injury. He picked the injury up in the Chiefs’ last game prior to their bye week, and it is clearly still an issue.

Evan Engram (Foot), Rhett Ellison (Concussion), Golden Tate (Concussion) Do Not Practice Wednesday
Engram, Ellison and Tate all did not practice Wednesday, putting their status into question Sunday. They will need to be monitored throughout the week.
As reported by: Dan Salomone Other tagged players: Rhett Ellison, Golden Tate Devin Funchess Will Not Return This Week
Funchess will remain on IR for at least one more week, ruling him out for the Colts’ game Sunday. He has not played since Week 1 and his season could be over.
As reported by: Mike Chappell Delanie Walker (Ankle) Placed on Injured Reserve
Walker has been placed on IR, ending his season. Jonnu Smith had emerged as the Titans’ top target at TE, but was not targeted last week. That was in part due to game script, as the Titans only threw 18 passes. MyCole Pruitt was the only TE to get a target, catching it for 20 yards, but that was just his third target in 11 games this season.

As reported by: Armando Salguero Jordan Howard (Shoulder) Not Cleared for Contact
Howard still has not been cleared for contact as of Wednesday. He is at risk of missing his third straight game, although he likely could play without practicing if cleared for contact.
As reported by: Eliot Shorr-Parks Other tagged players: Miles Sanders Jakeem Grant (Ankle) Will be Placed on Injured Reserve
Grant suffered a high-ankle sprain during the Dolphins last game, forcing him to exit early. He has been placed on the injured reserve, which means his season is over. Grant failed to break 4 catches or 33 yards in any game this season and finished with 0 TDs.

As reported by: Tom Rock Robert Foster (Hamstring) Questionable for Thursday
Foster was limited in the final two practices this week leading up to Thursday’s game. He is officially questionable, and he is unlikely to get more than a couple touches if healthy.
As reported by: Buffalo Bills PR Devonta Freeman (Foot) Full Practice Participant Tuesday
Freeman was upgraded to a full participant in practice Tuesday after being limited Monday. He is on track to return, which will hurt Brian Hill and Qadree Ollison.

The Giants waived Fowler for the second time this season, previously waiving him after Week 4. He didn’t play Week 12 with Sterling Shepard returning.

Foster improved from not participating Monday to limited Tuesday. However, his status is still in doubt given the quick turnaround for the Thursday game.
As reported by: Buffalo Bills PR Steelers Name Devlin Hodges Starter Sunday
Hodges will get his second start of the season this Sunday, replacing Mason Rudolph. The Steelers turned to Hodges last week after Rudolph got off to an ineffective start, and Hodges helped them get the win. Hodges threw for 132 yards with 1 TD and 1 INT in his first start.

Beebe has been ruled out for the rest of the season. He has not played since Week 3 and will finish the year with 2 catches for 70 yards.
As reported by: Chris Tomasson Vikings Waive Josh Doctson
The Vikings waived Josh Doctson Tuesday. The WR finishes with 1 game played and 0 catches for the Vikings. It seems like a good sign for Adam Thielen’s health that the Vikings no longer need Doctson.
