  • Malik Cunningham: Goes back to practice squad

    Cunningham reverted to Detroit's practice squad Friday, per the NFL's transactions log.

    Cunningham played just one of the Lions' 62 offensive snaps during Thursday's 44-30 win versus the Cowboys, taking a direct snap for one yard in the middle of the third quarter. The Lions can still elevate him from the practice squad to the active roster two more times this season.

  • Alex Bachman WR | LV

    Raiders' Alex Bachman: Won't suit up against Denver

    Bachman (thumb) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Broncos, Ryan McFadden of ESPN.com reports.

    Bachman has contributed primarily on special teams, and he will miss his third game of the campaign. While he's served only as pass-catching depth, the Raiders will be shorthanded at wide receiver with Dont'e Thornton (concussion) also sidelined.

  • Jack Bech WR | LV

    Raiders' Jack Bech: Chance to step up

    Head coach Pete Carroll said Bech will have the chance to earn an increased role in Sunday's game against the Broncos due to the absence of Dont'e Thornton (concussion), Ryan McFadden of ESPN.com reports.

    Bech has had a quiet rookie season, logging only 192 offensive snaps and 15 targets across 12 games. However, with both Thornton and Alex Bachman (thumb) ruled out, the Raiders currently have only three healthy wide receivers heading into Sunday's divisional matchup. Bech should log his highest snap count of the season, though that's no guarantee of production given the state of the Raiders offense.

  • CeeDee Lamb WR | DAL

    Cowboys' CeeDee Lamb: Optimism for Week 15

    Head coach Brian Schottenheimer relayed to reporters Friday that Lamb "had a good day" one day after sustaining a concussion during the Cowboys' 44-30 loss to the Lions on Thursday, Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.

    Lamb was in the midst of his most productive game of the season Thursday before exiting in the third quarter due to a concussion. He and the Cowboys have additional time to rest and recover ahead of their Week 15 clash against the Vikings on Sunday, Dec. 14, but the sixth-year wideout will have to pass an evaluation administered by an independent neurologist in order to clear the league's concussion protocol. If Lamb were to miss time, George Pickens would assume the WR1 spot and Ryan Flournoy, KaVontae Turpin, Jalen Tolbert and Jake Ferguson all would be in line for more work in the passing game.

  • Raiders' Dont'e Thornton: Ruled out for Week 14

    Thornton (concussion) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Broncos, Ryan McFadden of ESPN.com reports.

    Thornton suffered a concussion in the Raiders' Week 13 loss to the Chargers and couldn't practice at all during the week. That suggests he hasn't made much progress through the league's concussion protocol. Jack Bech is expected to have a chance to step up in Thornton's absence.

  • Xavier Gipson WR | NYG

    Eagles' Xavier Gipson: Manages full practice Friday

    Gipson (shoulder) was a full participant at practice Friday, Andrew DiCecco of InsideTheBirds.com reports.

    Gipson was still limited by the shoulder injury he suffered in Week 12 at Dallas to start the Eagles' preparations for Week 14, but he now appears to be back to full strength. He is on track to reclaim his return duties come Monday's game against the Chargers.

  • Jahan Dotson WR | ATL

    Eagles' Jahan Dotson: Limited in practice again

    Dotson (toe) remained limited at Friday's practice, Andrew DiCecco of InsideTheBirds.com reports.

    Dotson has one more chance to upgrade to full participation ahead of Monday's matchup with the Chargers. He was listed as a limited participant both Thursday and Friday.

  • Pat Bryant WR | DEN

    Broncos' Pat Bryant: Clear for Week 14

    Bryant (hamstring) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game at Las Vegas, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

    Bryant was a midweek addition to Denver's injury report Thursday, when he was limited due to a hamstring issue. He maintained that activity level Friday, despite taking part in the team stretch before not doing much during individual drills, per Parker Gabriel of The Denver Post. Nevertheless, Bryant will be available to the Broncos offense Week 14 on the heels of recording at least 40 receiving yards in four of his last five contests.

  • Chiefs' Nikko Remigio: Won't play due to shoulder injury

    Remigio (shoulder) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Texans.

    Remigio was listed as a limited practice participant Friday due to a shoulder issue, which is severe enough for him to miss his first game of the season. He's mostly served on special teams as a returner on punts and kickoffs, so in Remigio's absence, those duties will fall to Tyquan Thornton, Brashard Smith and Jalen Royals. Remigio will aim to progress enough in his recovery to return in Week 15 against the Chargers on Sunday, Dec. 14.

  • Michael Wilson WR | ARI

    Cardinals' Michael Wilson: Heads injury-riddled WR corps again

    Wilson's teammates Marvin Harrison (heel) and Greg Dortch (chest) have been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Rams.

    Wilson and Dortch both enjoyed spikes in production during Harrison's two-game absence, followed by steep declines in both targets and fantasy points when Harrison returned for last Sunday's 20-17 loss at Tampa Bay. With Harrison now out again, and Dortch joining him this time, the Cardinals are painfully thin at wide receiver behind Wilson. Even Xavier Weaver (questionable - hamstring) may not end up playing, in which case Andre Baccellia and various practice-squad promotions would be the favorites to take WR snaps alongside Wilson. It's a great situation to pile up targets, albeit against a tough defense that won't take Wilson lightly after his massive numbers in Weeks 11-12.
