Kamara (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers.

Kamara was unable to practice in any capacity for a second consecutive week and will miss a second straight game due to a sprained MCL he sustained in New Orleans' Week 12 loss to the Falcons. Devin Neal is expected to lead the Saints backfield again after turning 17 touches into 69 total yards in this past Sunday's loss to the Dolphins. Kamara's next chance to take the field will come Sunday, Dec. 14 against the Panthers.

Melton (heel) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Rams, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

Melton didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday and is now in line to miss his second consecutive game due to a heel injury. The second-year pro has operated as one of the Cardinals' top boundary corners this season, recording 31 total tackles and five passes defensed across nine appearances. While he's sidelined in Week 14, expect Denzel Burke to have an expanded role in Arizona's secondary.

Olave (back) will be listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, Saints team reporter Erin Summers reports.

Olave's practice participation has been capped by a back injury, which also had him listed as questionable for this past Sunday's game against the Dolphins. He managed to play through it against Miami and caught four of seven targets for 47 yards and a touchdown. If he gets the green light to play against the Buccaneers, Olave will likely continue to function as the focal point of New Orleans' passing game, as he ranks fourth in the NFL with 115 targets this season.

Odunze (foot) has been ruled out for Sunday's game at Green Bay.

There was no clear sign of trouble during last week's 24-15 win over the Eagles, in which Odunze handled an 80 percent snap share and 87 percent route share but finished with just two catches for eight yards on six targets. He likely was injured at some point during that game, as he hasn't practiced since and will now miss a contest for the first time in his NFL career. Luther Burden and Olamide Zaccheaus figure to get more playing time in Odunze's absence, with DJ Moore, Colston Loveland and Cole Kmet also among the potential beneficiaries in terms of target volume.

Taylor-Demerson (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Rams, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

The second-year pro from Texas Tech is now in line to miss his fourth consecutive game due to an ankle injury. Taylor-Demerson has appeared in nine games this season, recording 36 total tackles and five passes defensed, including two interceptions. While he's sidelined Sunday, Kitan Crawford will likely operate as the team's top reserve safety.

Nolen (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Rams, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

The 2025 first-round pick from Ole Miss didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday and is now in line to miss his second consecutive game due to a knee injury. Nolen has played in just four games this season, recording eight total tackles, including 1.0 sacks, across 101 defensive snaps. Expect Dalvin Tomlinson to play an expanded role on the Cardinals' defensive line until Nolen returns.

London has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Seattle, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

London hasn't played or practiced since suffering a PCL sprain Week 11. Falcons coach Raheem Morris said Monday that the wideout had a chance to return for Week 14, but London never even made it back to practice and now faces a short turnaround with Atlanta playing on Thursday in Week 15.

Atwell (hamstring) isn't expected to be activated from injured reserve for Sunday's game at Arizona, Nate Atkins of The Athletic reports.

Atwell has been a full practice participant for the past two weeks, so this may be the equivalent of a healthy scratch. He can practice for another week without coming off injured reserve, but the Rams will need to activate him by mid-December if he's going to play again this season. Xavier Smith, Jordan Whittington and Konata Mumpfield have all seen playing time behind Puka Nacua and Davante Adams in recent weeks.

Head coach Sean McDermott told reporters Friday that Bosa (hamstring) won't play in Sunday's matchup against the Bengals, Matt Parrino of The Syracuse Post-Standard reports.

The 30-year-old sustained a hamstring injury in the Week 13 win over the Steelers and didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday, so it's no surprise that he'll be held out Sunday. Bosa is an integral part of the Bills' pass rush, recording 26 total tackles, including 5.0 sacks, and five forced fumbles over 12 games this season. While he's out Week 14, Javon Solomon will likely start on Buffalo's defensive line.

Head coach Sean McDermott told reporters Friday that Bernard (elbow) won't play in Sunday's matchup against the Bengals, Matt Parrino of The Syracuse Post-Standard reports.

The fourth-year pro from Baylor opened the Bills' week of practice with consecutive DNPs, so it's no surprise that he'll miss his second game in a row Sunday. While Bernard is sidelined in Week 14, Shaq Thompson is expected to operate as the Bills' top middle linebacker.
