Raiders running back Darren McFadden, who's missed two straight games with an ankle injury, is active for the game at San Diego. He's expected to be mixed in behind Rashad Jennings.

The Cardinals have ruled wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald (concussion), tight end Rob Housler (groin), quarterback Carson Palmer (ankle, right elbow), linebacker Matt Shaughnessy (groin), defensive back Justin Bethel (wrist), linebacker Karlos Dansby (foot), running back Andre Ellington (quadriceps), wide receiver Michael Floyd (ankle) and running back Rashard Mendenhall (finger) active for Sunday's contest against Seattle in Week 16.

The Cardinals have ruled Rashad Johnson, Ryan Williams, Dontay Moch, Nate Potter, Earl Watford, Kory Sperry and Ronald Talley all inactive for Sunday's game against the Seahawks in Week 16.

Chargers running back Ryan Mathews, who was probable with a foot injury, will play against the Raiders after practicing in full late last week. Mathews ran for 230 yards and two touchdowns over the past two games.

In addition to wide receiver Wes Welker, who is expected to miss the rest of the regular season with a concussion, the Broncos' list of inactives for Week 16 at Houston includes defensive back Kayvon Webster (thumb), offensive lineman Chris Kuper (ankle), defensive lineman Derek Wolfe (illness), quarterback Zac Dysert, running back C.J. Anderson and defensive lineman Sione Fua. Dysert, Anderson and Fua are all healthy scratches. 

Titans running back Chris Johnson, who was listed as probable Friday because of a knee injury, is active for Week 16 at Jacksonville. He missed practice Wednesday and was limited Thursday but practiced in full Friday.

The Dolphins unveiled their inactive list for Week 16 against the Bills shortly before kickoff Sunday. Among those listed are: defensive lineman A.J. Francis; defensive back Chris Owens; offensive linemen David Arkin and Danny Watkins; quarterback Pat Devlin; and running back Mike Gillislee.

Vikings running back Matt Asiata, who scored three touchdowns with Adrian Peterson and Toby Gerhart inactive last week, is active for Week 16 at Cincinnati despite an ankle injury that limited his practice time leading up to the game. He figures to play a minimal role, though, with Peterson and Gerhart also active.

Rams running back Daryl Richardson was unable to take the field in Week 16 against the Buccaneers Sunday, as he continues to deal with a thigh injury. Richardson has not played in seven consecutive games at this point.
