Fannin (groin) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's contest against the Steelers, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Fannin appears to have aggravated the groin injury that caused him to initially be listed as questionable for Sunday's divisional matchup. He ends the day having secured both of his targets for 30 yards and one touchdown. With David Njoku (knee) already ruled out, Blake Whiteheart, Brenden Bates and Sal Cannella will operate as Cleveland's available tight ends for the remainder of Sunday's game.

Hamilton posted four tackles (two solo) during the Ravens' 41-24 win over the Packers on Saturday.

Hamilton finished Saturday's game tied for the third-most tackles on the Ravens behind Nate Wiggins (seven) and Dre'Mont Jones (six). Hamilton has been held to five stops or less in three of his last four games, and since the Ravens' Week 7 bye he has accumulated 61 tackles (34 solo), including 1.0 sacks, six pass defenses and one forced fumble across 10 games.

Smith posted three tackles (one solo) during the Ravens' 41-24 win over the Packers on Saturday.

Smith played 41 of 47 defensive snaps during Saturday's win but had just three stops to show for it. It was his lowest tackling output since Week 4 against the Chiefs (two tackles) and snapped his five-game double-digit tackling streak. The veteran linebacker has 127 combined tackles through 14 regular-season games, which is 14th most in the NFL.

Jefferson (forearm) won't return to Sunday's game against the Saints.

Prior to injuring his forearm, Jefferson caught all three of his targets for 46 yards. In his absence, James Proche and Mason Kinsey are available to handle added WR snaps alongside Elic Ayomanor and Chimere Dike.

Robinson is being evaluated for a possible concussion and is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Buccaneers.

Robinson exited the game in the second quarter with a potential head injury and is currently being evaluated by the NFL's independent neurologists. If the starter is unable to return to the contest, Kenneth Grant or Zeek Biggers will have to make the shift to defensive end, as the Dolphins have no reserve ends active.

Turner had five total tackles, including 1.0 sacks, a forced fumble and four QB hurries in Thursday's win over Detroit.

Turner played on 72 percent of the defense's snaps as he continues to become a larger factor in Minnesota's pass rush. He now has a career-high 6.0 sacks and three forced fumbles this season.

Jordan (head) has returned to Sunday's game against the Dolphins, Greg Auman of Fox Sports report.

Jordan left the game to be evaluated for a concussion, but he has cleared those tests and is back in the contest. He is back at left guard.

Mims (shin) has returned to Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Charlie Goldsmith of the Dayton Daily News reports.

Mims was evaluated by medical staff, and his shin injury was determined to be harmless enough to play through. The right tackle has reclaimed his position on the offensive line from Cody Ford.

Crawford (ankle) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Bengals, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Crawford appeared to sustain the injury in the second quarter and is being evaluated by medical staff to determine whether he can return to Sunday's game. With Budda Baker (concussion) inactive, Dadrion Taylor-Demerson will step into a larger role in the secondary for as long as Crawford is out of the game.

Pittman (calf) returned to Sunday's game against the Jaguars, Mike Chappell of Fox 59 News Indianapolis reports.

Pittman exited the contest for a spell after suffering a calf injury, but the wideout is back in action Sunday to reclaim his key role in the Colts' Week 17 WR corps.
