Terrel Bernard LB | BUF
Bills' Terrel Bernard: Could return Sunday
Bernard (elbow) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Patriots, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports.
Bernard has missed Buffalo's last two games due to an elbow injury, but following limited practice sessions Wednesday and Thursday, he has a chance to play Sunday. The 26-year-old has appeared in 10 games for the Bills this season, recording 56 total tackles and three passes defensed, including one interception. If he's sidelined for the third consecutive game in Week 15, expect Shaq Thompson to operate as the team's top middle linebacker.

Alvin Kamara RB | NO
Saints' Alvin Kamara: Ruled out for third straight game
Kamara (knee/ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Carolina.
Devin Neal topped a 70 percent snap share in both of the past two weeks while filling in for Kamara. The rookie should get a similar workload this Sunday, with Audric Estime and Evan Hull in reserve.

Charlie Woerner TE | ATL
Falcons' Charlie Woerner: Two grabs vs. Tampa Bay
Woerner caught both of his targets for 12 yards in Thursday night's 29-28 win over the Buccaneers.
Woerner wasn't targeted in either of the Falcons' last two games, but he finished with the fifth-most receiving yards on the team during Thursday night's win. The 28-year-old has appeared in all 14 of Atlanta's contests this season, catching seven of eight targets for 45 yards across 417 offensive snaps. He's expected to remain a depth option in the team's tight-end corps in the Week 16 matchup against the Cardinals.

Marquise Brown WR | PHI
Chiefs' Hollywood Brown: Not in line to play Sunday
Coach Andy Reid said Friday that he doesn't expect Brown (personal) to suit up Sunday against the Chargers, Sam McDowell of The Kansas City Star reports.
Brown has been tending to a personal matter this week that didn't allow him to practice Wednesday before he returned in a limited practice one day later. Assuming Brown is unavailable for Week 15 action, the Chiefs will lean on Rashee Rice, Xavier Worthy, JuJu Smith-Schuster and Tyquan Thornton at wide receiver Sunday.

Alvin Kamara RB | NO
Saints' Alvin Kamara: Not practicing Friday
Kamara (knee/ankle) isn't practicing Friday, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.
Kamara hasn't practiced since suffering an MCL sprain in Week 12. Devin Neal (abdomen) likely will fill in as the Saints' starting RB again this Sunday against the Panthers, after topping a 70 percent snap share in both of the past two games.
-
Terrell Jennings RB | NE
Patriots' Terrell Jennings: Misses another practice
Jennings (concussion) wasn't spotted at Friday's practice, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
The Florida A&M product was unable to practice all week, so it's unlikely that he'll be able to suit up for Sunday's divisional matchup against the Bills. Both Craig Reynolds and D'Ernest Johnson are candidates to be elevated from the Patriots' practice squad to the active roster if Jennings is sidelined in Week 15 as expected.

Francisco Mauigoa LB | NYJ
Jets' Francisco Mauigoa: Won't face Jags
Jets head coach Aaron Glenn said Friday that Mauigoa (neck) is ruled out for Sunday's game against Jacksonville,
Mauigoa will miss at least one game due to the neck injury he suffered Week 14 against Miami, which had been initially diagnosed a shoulder issue. Kobe King and Mykal Walker will stand to handle increased defensive snaps for as long as Mauigoa remains sidelined.
-
Jayden Daniels QB | WAS
Commanders' Jayden Daniels: Not cleared for contact yet
Commanders head coach Dan Quinn said Friday that Daniels (elbow) hasn't been cleared for contact, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.
Daniels will miss his seventh game of the season Sunday against the Giants, but Quinn hasn't ruled the second-year quarterback out beyond Week 15 and once again suggested that he won't be shut down for the season unless he's truly unable to play. In any case, Marcus Mariota will fill in for Daniels once again Sunday.
-
Azareye'h Thomas CB | NYJ
Jets' Azareye'h Thomas: Won't play Sunday
Jets head coach Aaron Glenn said Friday that Thomas (shoulder) is ruled out for Sunday's game against the Jaguars.
Thomas suffered a shoulder injury Week 14 against the Dolphins but managed to retake the field and finish out that contest, so it's somewhat surprising to see him unable to play versus Jacksonville. Qwan'tez Stiggers and Ja'Sir Taylor will be candidates to inherit substantial roles on defense for as long as Thomas remains sidelined.
-
Kayvon Thibodeaux LB | NYG
Giants' Kayvon Thibodeaux: Ruled out for Week 15
Thibodeaux (shoulder) is ruled out for Sunday's game against the Commanders, Matt Citak of the Giants' official site reports.
Thibodeaux hasn't suited up since Week 10 versus the Bears, and even coming out of New York's bye in Week 14, there's not yet any indication that he's close to retaking the field. As long as Thibodeaux remains sidelined, rookie first-round pick Abdul Carter will operate as one of the Giants' top pass rushers alongside Brian Burns.
