Foster Moreau TE | HOU
Saints' Foster Moreau: Departs Sunday with ankle injury
Moreau is questionable to return to Sunday's matchup versus the Jets due to an ankle issue, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.
Moreau was injured when he was tackled after making a catch in the third quarter. The veteran tight end has been working as New Orleans' No. 2 option at the position behind Juwan Johnson. If Moreau can't return Sunday, Taysom Hill and/or Jack Stoll could see more offensive snaps.

DJ Turner CB | CIN
Bengals' DJ Turner: Questionable to return
Turner (illness) is questionable to return to Sunday's matchup versus the Dolphins.
Turner is dealing with an illness, leaving his status for the rest of the game up in the air. Josh Newton and DJ Ivey should see increased playing time if Turner ends up being unable to return.

Nick Chubb RB | HOU
Texans' Nick Chubb: Active versus Raiders
Chubb (ribs) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Raiders.
Despite practicing fully both Thursday and Friday, Chubb -- who was inactive in Week 15 -- was deemed questionable for the contest, as was fellow RB Woody Marks (ankle), who was limited Friday. With Marks having been made inactive versus Las Vegas, look for Chubb to have an opportunity to lead Houston's backfield in the absence of any setbacks, while 5-foot-10, 186-pounder Jawhar Jordan -- who was productive while handling added snaps in Week 15 when Chubb was inactive and Marks exited early -- is also in line for an expanded workload, and Dare Ogunbowale is another candidate to mix in.

Amik Robertson CB | WAS
Lions' Amik Robertson: Good to go against Pittsburgh
Robertson (hand) is active for Sunday's game against the Steelers.
Robertson was limited in practice all week due to a hand injury. He's been given the green light to play Sunday, though his effectiveness in the secondary would likely be limited if he continues to wear a protective club on his injured hand like he did during Week 16 prep. Robertson has accumulated 27 tackles (23 solo), nine pass defenses and one forced fumble across the seven games since the Lions' Week 8 bye.

D'Wayne Eskridge WR | MIA
Dolphins' Dee Eskridge: Exits Week 16 with toe issue
Eskridge (toe) is questionable to return to Sunday's matchup against Cincinnati.
Eskridge was hurt in the third quarter and exited to the locker room with trainers. He's been working as both a depth wideout and a kick returner for the Dolphins. Malik Washington figures to be the primary option in the latter role while Eskridge remains out.

Woody Marks RB | HOU
Texans' Woody Marks: Inactive Sunday
Marks (ankle) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Raiders.
Marks didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday but was able to return to a limited session Friday before heading into the weekend listed as questionable, a status that fellow RB Nick Chubb (ribs) also carried into the contest. With Marks sidelined and Chubb available versus Las Vegas, look for Chubb to lead Houston's backfield, while 5-foot-10, 186-pounder Jawhar Jordan -- who did well with added snaps in Week 15 when Chubb was inactive and Marks exited early -- is also in line for an expanded workload Sunday and Dare Ogunbowale is on hand to mix in. Per Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston, Marks had planned to play, but the Texans felt it was best to rest their top RB this week, with an eye toward having him available next weekend against the Chargers.

Christian Kirk WR | SF
Texans' Christian Kirk: Cleared to play vs. Las Vegas
Kirk (illness) is active for Sunday's game against the Raiders.
Kirk was battling through an illness over the weekend, but the veteran wide receiver has progressed enough in his recovery to play in Sunday's home tilt. He has failed to record a target in two of his last three games and has accumulated 22 catches (on 40 targets) for 204 yards and one touchdown through 10 regular-season games. Based on recent usage, Kirk appears to have dropped to the No. 5 receiver spot behind Nico Collins, Xavier Hutchinson and rookies Jayden Higgins and Jaylin Noel.

Zamir White RB | LV
Raiders' Zamir White: Not playing Week 16
White (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Texans.
White continues to be a healthy scratch for the Raiders this season, with the fourth-year running back not appearing in a regular-season game since Week 5 against the Colts. His next opportunity to play is Week 17 against the Giants on Sunday, Dec. 28, though he's unlikely to play in that game unless Ashton Jeanty, Raheem Mostert or Dylan Laube were to miss time.
-
Donte Jackson CB | LAC
Chargers' Donte Jackson: Won't return in Week 16
Jackson (groin) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's matchup against Dallas.
Jackson was hurt in the second quarter and was ruled out after halftime. Benjamin St-Juste has stepped in to play cornerback in Jackson's absence.
-
Marcus Harris CB | TEN
Titans' Marcus Harris: Won't return vs. Kansas City
Harris (knee) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Chiefs, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.
Harris injured his knee in the second quarter, and medical staff have determined that the injury is severe enough for the rookie sixth-rounder to not return. Micah Robinson and Kaiir Elam should see more snaps in the secondary in the second half in Harris' absence.
