Overshown (concussion) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's matchup against the Chargers, AllDLLS.com reports.

Overshown was hurt during the first quarter and headed to the blue medical tent to get evaluated for a concussion. He eventually went to the locker room before being ruled out. Marist Liufau may get more snaps on defense with Overshown out of action. The latter will need to clear the NFL's five-step concussion protocol in order to play on Christmas Day against the Commanders.

Jones (ankle) returned to Sunday's game against the Giants, Ben Goessling of The Minnesota Star Tribune reports.

While Jones is back in the contest after having exited it, fellow RB Jordan Mason, who also sustained an ankle injury Sunday, has been ruled out for the remainder of Week 16 action. In that context, Zavier Scott is available to handle complementary backfield snaps for the Vikings.

Rochell (ankle) is questionable to return in Sunday's matchup against Tampa Bay, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

Rochell left early in the second quarter of Sunday's game with an ankle injury. The 27-year-old appeared in five games this season, playing only on special teams, accounting for four total tackles.

Nelson is questionable to return to Sunday's Week 16 game against Carolina due to a knee injury.

Nelson was hurt during the first quarter of the big NFC South matchup. The veteran linebacker typically logs a defensive snap share north of 50 percent while also contributing on special teams, so his exit is impactful. While Nelson is out, Chris Braswell and Jason Pierre-Paul could see more reps on defense.

Thomas (hamstring) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Vikings, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

While Thomas is being evaluated by medical staff to determine whether he can return, Marcus Mbow has taken over as the Giants' left offensive tackle.

Jones sustained an ankle injury during Sunday's contest at the Giants.

Fellow RB Jordan Mason also exited with an ankle injury, but while Mason needed a cart to leave the field, according to Alec Lewis of The Athletic, Jones was spotted jogging on the sideline, per Lewis. Zavier Scott took over the Vikings backfield to kick off their second drive of the game.

Salyer (hamstring) is questionable to return to Sunday's matchup against Dallas.

Salyer's injury took place during the first quarter. He's been replaced at left tackle by Austin Deculus, per Daniel Popper of The Athletic.

Thompson (neck) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Browns.

Thompson sustained the injury during the first quarter, and he's being evaluated by medical staff to determine whether he can return to Sunday's game. Dorian Williams will likely step into a more prominent role on defense for as long as Thompson is out of the game.

Mason suffered an ankle injury during Sunday's game at the Giants.

Both Mason and fellow RB Aaron Jones injured their ankles in the first quarter of Week 16 action, but while Mason was spotted getting on a cart, per Alec Lewis of The Athletic, Jones was jogging on the sideline, according to Lewis. Zavier Scott took over the Vikings backfield to begin their second possession of the contest.

Chubb (ribs) remains listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Raiders but could be in line to serve as the Texans' top ball carrier in Week 16 with Woody Marks (ankle) trending toward missing the contest, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Before sitting out the Texans' Week 15 win over the Cardinals due to a ribs injury, Chubb had begun to cede more work on the ground to Marks over his most recent appearances. However, Marks exited the Week 15 game early due to an ankle injury of his own, then sat out practices Wednesday and Thursday before returning to the field Friday as a limited participant. Like Chubb, Marks is listed as questionable, and though he had been pushing to play Sunday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston relays that the Texans plan to have the rookie rest his ankle this week. Assuming Chubb -- who practiced fully Thursday and Friday -- is officially cleared upon the release of Houston's inactive list 90 minutes prior to the 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff, he could take on the brunt of the carries out of the backfield with Marks out of the picture. Meanwhile, Jawhar Jordan is also expected to have a role in the game plan after a 15-carry, 101-yard performance in Week 15, and Dare Ogunbowale could see more involvement on passing downs.
