Sweat (ankle) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game versus the Falcons.

Sweat briefly returned to the game after sustaining an ankle injury in the first half but is now officially done for the day. In his absence, Jordan Burch and Dante Stills should see increased playing time during the remainder of the matchup.

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

Baker left the game in the third quarter with a head injury and is being evaluated by one of the league's independent neurologists for a concussion. If he is diagnosed with a concussion, he will be unable to return to Sunday's contest and will have to enter the league's concussion protocol.

Oladokun completed 11 of 16 passes for 111 yards in Sunday's 26-9 loss to the Titans. He added seven rushing yards on two carries.

A seventh-round pick of the Steelers back in 2022, Oladukon made his NFL debut last season with Kansas City in Week 18 but didn't attempt a pass. Signed off the practice squad this week to replace Patrick Mahomes (knee) on the roster and back up Gardner Minshew, Oladokun instead found himself running the offense when Minshew went down with a knee injury of his own. The South Dakota State product played relatively well all things considered, even if he failed to produce a TD drive. With Minshew feared to have suffered a torn ACL, Oladokun looks set to start the final two games of the season, but he'll face a much tougher test in Week 17 against the Broncos. Look for Kansas City to sign a veteran backup this week, as the team has no other healthy QBs in the organization after Oladokun.

Fannin secured four of six targets for 34 yards and a touchdown and rushed once for a one-yard touchdown in the Browns' 23-20 loss to the Bills on Sunday.

Fannin continued his stellar rookie season with his fifth and sixth touchdowns of the campaign, including his first rushing score. The talented tight end first struck through the air via a 13-yard grab to open the scoring, and he added his short rush TD late in the third quarter to cap off a 14-play drive. Fannin had been averaging nine targets per game in Shedeur Sanders' first four starts coming into Sunday, and although he fell slightly short of that mark, he still tied for the team lead in that category with Quinshon Judkins (fibula/ankle).

Nolen (knee) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Falcons, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Nolen had to be carted off the field with a noncontact injury to his left knee. The 2025 first-rounder missed Week 13 and Week 14 with a knee injury, which may provide more clarity toward what happened on the field Sunday.

Scott rushed twice for four yards and caught his only target for eight yards in Sunday's 16-13 win over the Giants.

Scott looked poised to work as Minnesota's lead back after both Aaron Jones and Jordan Mason exited due to first-quarter ankle injuries, but Jones returned and handled a workhorse role, finishing with 23 touches to Scott's three. If Jones' injury impacts his availability for Thursday's game against the Lions and Mason remains sidelined, Scott could find himself handling an increased workload.

Johnson didn't catch either of his two targets in Sunday's 16-13 loss to the Vikings.

Johnson was a non-factor as Jaxson Dart threw for just 33 yards. Prior to Sunday's goose egg, Johnson had caught at least three passes in eight consecutive games. Johnson will likely be more involved if the Giants turn to a more balanced approach in Week 17 against the Raiders after this run-heavy loss.

Addison caught two of three targets for 26 yards in Sunday's 16-13 win over the Giants.

Addison couldn't hold onto what would have been a 25-yard touchdown catch in the first quarter. He finished a distant second on the team in receiving yards behind Justin Jefferson (85). Minnesota's passing game will be tough to trust Thursday against the Lions, especially if rookie Max Brosmer is thrust into his second NFL start. Brosmer entered after J.J. McCarthy (hand) left Sunday's win in the second quarter.

Sanders completed 20 of 29 passes for 157 yards with one touchdown and two interceptions while adding four rushes for 49 yards in the Browns' 23-20 loss to the Bills on Sunday.

To his credit, Sanders kept the Browns in contention against Josh Allen and company for most of the afternoon despite short-circuiting a pair of drives with interceptions. However, Sanders could arguably be mostly exonerated in both instances, as the first came on a deflection off the hands of Quinshon Judkins (leg/ankle) and the second was tipped at the line of scrimmage. Sanders connected with his favorite target, fellow rookie Harold Fannin, for his one TD toss from 13 yards out to open the scoring in the first quarter, but he has just a 1:5 TD:INT in his last pair of contests. The rookie fifth-round pick will next tangle with the Steelers' veteran defense in a Week 17 home matchup next Sunday.

Robinson caught three of six targets for 19 yards and added a three-yard rush in Sunday's 16-13 loss to the Vikings.

Robinson caught Jaxson Dart's only first-half completion for a two-yard gain as the Giants went with a run-heavy game plan. Dart ultimately threw for only 33 yards. Robinson is the top option in the Giants' depleted passing offense, and he had at least eight targets in six consecutive games prior to Sunday's downturn in volume. He'll have a nice opportunity to bounce back in Week 17 against the Raiders.
