Jaguars' LeQuint Allen: One carry Week 12
Allen carried once for two yards during Sunday's 27-24 overtime win against the Cardinals.
The rookie seventh-round pick totaled eight carries for 36 yards in Week 11's blowout victory, but he was minimally involved In Sunday's overtime win. Allen remains locked in as Jacksonville's No. 3 tailback behind Travis Etienne and Bhayshul Tuten.

Sean Clifford QB | CIN
Sean Clifford: Waived by Bengals
Cincinnati waived Clifford on Monday.
Clifford had regularly served as the Bengals' emergency third-string QB since signing to the team's active roster Oct. 31, so this transaction is another likely sign that Joe Burrow (toe) will return from IR in time to start Thursday night against the Ravens. If he clears waivers, Clifford will be a candidate to resurface on Cincinnati's practice squad.

Jimmy Holiday WR | KC
Jimmy Holiday: Cut by Kansas City
The Chiefs cut Holiday from the practice squad Monday.
Holiday loses his spot on the practice squad to Dameon Pierce, who was signed by Kansas City on Monday. Undrafted out of Louisiana Tech earlier this year, Holiday spent the offseason with the Chiefs but has yet to appear in a regular-season contest.

Savion Williams WR | GB
Packers' Savion Williams: Estimated as non-participant
Williams (foot) was listed as a non-participant on Monday's estimated practice report, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.
Green Bay didn't hold an actual practice Monday, but the rookie third-round pick would not have been able to log on-field reps to begin Week 13 prep. Williams has regularly missed practices while playing through a foot injury the last two games, so as long as he's able to log at least one limited session in advance of Thursday's divisional matchup against the Lions, he'll have a chance to take the field. If cleared to suit up Thanksgiving Day, Williams will handle a depth role on offense and contribute as a kick returner.

DeeJay Dallas RB | CAR
Panthers' DeeJay Dallas: Elevated to face 49ers
The Panthers have elevated Dallas from the practice squad to the active roster for Monday's contest against San Francisco, Darin Gantt of the team's official site reports.
Dallas has previously appeared in two regular-season games with Carolina this year, having been a part of the team's active roster at the time. In that span he primarily contributed in the return game, and logged just one carry for zero yards on offense. Versus the 49ers, Dallas will figure to similarly handle a reserve role behind Rico Dowdle, Chuba Hubbard and Trevor Etienne, while potentially also fielding kick returns. He'll revert to the practice squad after Monday's contest.

Dontayvion Wicks WR | GB
Packers' Dontayvion Wicks: Still managing calf injury
Wicks (calf) is listed as a limited participant on Monday's estimated practice report, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.
Wicks has managed to play through his calf injury in each of Green Bay's last three games, but he now faces a short week of prep ahead of Thursday's divisional contest against the Lions. Matthew Golden (wrist) and Jayden Reed (foot/shoulder) are both also listed as limited Monday and could be candidates to retake the field on Thanksgiving Day, though the latter playmaker officially remains on IR. If Golden and/or Reed remain sidelined, though, Wicks will get a chance to handle expanded target volume versus the Lions, provided he's able to suit up.

Joe Flacco QB | CIN
Bengals' Joe Flacco: Estimated as limited in practice
Flacco (shoulder/finger) was estimated as a limited participant on Monday's practice report, Jay Morrison of SI.com reports.
The Bengals didn't actually practice Monday but were required to release an injury report ahead of Thursday night's game against the Ravens. Flacco has been dealing with the shoulder issue for weeks and now has a finger ailment. The big news for Cincinnati is Joe Burrow's (toe) estimation as a full participant, and he's expected to be under center on Thanksgiving night.
-
Jayden Reed WR | GB
Packers' Jayden Reed: Listed as limited again
Reed (foot/shoulder) is listed as a limited participant on Monday's estimated injury report, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.
Reed was limited in his return to practice last Friday, so while Green Bay isn't actually hosting an on-field session Monday, it's no surprise that the third-year pro isn't yet ready to handle reps without restrictions. It's possible Reed will need to log at least one full practice Tuesday and/or Wednesday in order to have a chance at coming off IR in time to suit up versus Detroit on Thanksgiving Day. In the event that Thursday's turnaround is too short a window for Reed, he should have a solid chance to return Week 14 against the Bears on Sunday, Dec. 7.
-
Joe Burrow QB | CIN
Bengals' Joe Burrow: Estimated as full practice Monday
Burrow (toe) was listed as a full participant on Monday's estimated practice report, Jay Morrison of SI.com reports.
All signs continue to point to Burrow returning to the lineup Thursday night against the Ravens. Coach Zac Taylor said earlier in the day Monday that he anticipates Burrow being under center against Baltimore, and Burrow himself posted on social media, indicating he's playing Week 13. It will be Burrow's first action since Week 2, when he suffered a turf toe injury that required surgery.
-
Matthew Golden WR | GB
Packers' Matthew Golden: Listed as limited participant
Golden (wrist) is listed as a limited participant on Monday's estimated injury report, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.
Golden sat out Week 12 versus the Vikings while managing a pair of injuries, but the rookie first-round pick now at least appears to have put his shoulder issue behind him. He'll have two more opportunities to upgrade his activity level as Green Bay prepares to travel to Detroit for a key divisional showdown on Thanksgiving Day. Across nine regular-season appearances to date, Golden has only exceeded 50 receiving yards on three occasions, and he's still looking to score his first receiving touchdown.
