Pat Bryant WR | DEN
Broncos' Pat Bryant: Hurt on big hit
Bryant (undisclosed) was carted off the field late in Sunday's 34-20 loss to the Jaguars, Zac Stevens of DNVR Sports reports.
Bryant remained down on the field after taking a big hit (which was ruled clean) from a defender in the final minute. Prior to getting injured, Bryant caught five of eight targets for 42 yards. The exact nature of Bryant's injury has yet to be revealed, but James Palmer of The Athletic reports that Bryant left the stadium in an ambulance, so the rookie wide receiver's chances of suiting up Thursday against the Chiefs appear slim.

Marcus Jones CB | NE
Patriots' Marcus Jones: Active Sunday night
Jones (knee) is active for Sunday night's game against the Ravens.
The nickel cornerback and punt returner missed practice Wednesday and was listed as questionable going into Sunday, though he did say Friday that he planned on playing, per Mike Reiss of ESPN.com. Jones should resume his normal roles now that he's officially good to go.

Chigoziem Okonkwo TE | WAS
Titans' Chig Okonkwo: Hauls in first TD of 2025
Okonkwo caught six of eight targets for 44 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 26-9 win over Kansas City.
The fourth-year tight end tied his season high in receptions and set a new season high in targets while getting into the end zone for the first time in 2025, as he connected with Cam Ward on a seven-yard score in the second quarter. Okonkwo appeared to have fallen behind rookie Gunnar Helm on the depth chart a few weeks ago, but the two have seen roughly equal usage of late, with Okonkwo's 12-97-1 line on 16 targets over the last three games nosing ahead of Helm's 7-66-1 line on nine targets. Okonkwo will look to build on this performance in Week 17 against the Saints.

Carlton Davis CB | NE
Patriots' Carlton Davis: In for Sunday
Davis (hip) is active for Sunday night's matchup with the Ravens.
The cornerback entered the day with a questionable tag after missing Wednesday's practice, but he appears to be healthy enough to play. Davis has played on most of the defensive snaps for New England this season, recording 56 tackles (28 solo) and nine pass breakups.

Dre Greenlaw LB | SF
Broncos' Dre Greenlaw: Ruled out with hamstring injury
Greenlaw (hamstring) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Jaguars, Parker Gabriel of The Denver Post reports.
Greenlaw left the game in the fourth quarter and will not return. The extended absence of the defensive leader would be a significant detriment for a Broncos defense that is looking to secure the AFC's top seed. Jonah Elliss or Dondrea Tillman likely will see an uptick in linebacker snaps for the Broncos in Greenlaw's absence.

Marcus Davenport DE | DET
Lions' Marcus Davenport: Questionable to return
Davenport (shoulder) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Steelers.
Davenport went down in the fourth quarter with a shoulder injury he sustained during a rep on the defensive line. If the defensive end is unable to return, Tyrus Wheat may receive more rotational snaps at defensive end to close out the game.

Chimere Dike WR | TEN
Titans' Chimere Dike: Snags fourth receiving TD of season
Dike caught three of five targets for 40 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 26-9 win over Kansas City. He added 145 yards on five kickoff and three punt returns.
The rookie slot receiver and return star scored his third receiving TD in the last five games, and fourth of the season, on a one-yard connection with Cam Ward in the third quarter. Dike has added two punt-return scores to his ledger in 2025, and his 2,269 all-purpose yards through 15 games leads the NFL by a wide margin. Dike will look to pad his totals in Week 17 against the Saints.

Christian Barmore DT | NE
Patriots' Christian Barmore: Active for SNF
Barmore (knee) is active for Sunday Night Football against the Ravens.
The defensive end entered the day with a questionable tag after missing practice Friday, though he did participate in Wednesday and Thursday's sessions. Barmore's absence Friday appears to have been a precaution, as he's healthy enough to play. The fifth-year pro has 26 tackles (12 solo), including 1.0 sacks, on the year.

Brent Urban DE | BAL
Ravens' Brent Urban: Active for SNF
Urban (illness) is active for Sunday night's game against the Patriots.
Urban seems to have overcome the last-minute illness that afflicted him Saturday in time to play in Sunday night's contest. The starting defensive end will suit up opposite Travis Jones to attempt to stop Drake Maye and the Patriots' offense.
