NFL Player News

Moore was hosted by the Broncos for a visit Monday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Moore was waived by the Bills on Wednesday, but he has yet to find a new home. The wide receiver caught nine of 17 targets for 112 yards while also adding 24 yards and a score on six carries over nine games with Buffalo this season. The 25-year-old would provide Denver with another experienced option at wideout if the team deems him worthy of a deal.

Diggs (knee) was a limited participant at practice Monday, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

Diggs was designated to return from injured reserve Sunday, opening a 21-day practice window for the cornerback. The 27-year-old has been sidelined since suffering a concussion in a home incident in mid-October, and he has also been nursing a right knee injury throughout his absence. He appears to have moved past the concussion, being listed with just the knee issue on Monday's injury report. Diggs will have two more chances to potentially log a full practice and be activated for the team's matchup with Detroit on Thursday.

Coach Sean McDermott revealed Monday that Prater's teammate Tyler Bass (left hip/groin) underwent surgery last week and will be sidelined for the rest of the season, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports.

That should give Prater, who was signed in a pinch just ahead of Week 1 and has been kicking for the Bills all season, the team's kicking job for the rest of the campaign. Prater has been dependable for the most part, going 17-for-19 on field-goal attempts, but extra points have been an issue recently and he's missed one in three of the past six games. If you can get past the fact his leg strength isn't what it used to be now that he's 41 years of age and that weather could be an issue with all remaining games played in wintry locations, there's value to be had here in a high-powered offense that still has the Bengals and the Jets on the schedule. Prater currently sits 14th among kickers in total scoring.

Clowney (hamstring) did not participate at practice Monday, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

Clowney is dealing with an apparent hamstring issue after he compiled six total tackles (five solo), including a season-high 2.0 sacks, in the team's 31-28 win over the Chiefs on Thanksgiving. The defensive lineman will have two more chances to return to practice prior to Thursday's matchup with the Lions.

The Chargers announced Monday that Herbert underwent surgery on his left hand, and the quarterback is considered day-to-day ahead of next Monday's game against the Eagles.

After Herbert injured his left, non-throwing hand during Sunday's win against the Raiders, he wore a glove with a significant amount of padding, but he still completed 15 of 20 passes for 151 yards, two touchdowns and one interception while recording three carries for eight yards. Coach Jim Harbaugh revealed afterward that Herbert sustained a broken bone in that hand, and Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported its exact nature as a metacarpal fracture on Monday morning. Rapoport also noted that the Chargers intend to have Herbert available for Week 14 action, but how he fares on the practice field Thursday through Saturday ultimately will determine whether it's him or backup Trey Lance under center next Monday.

Zylstra (knee) was a limited participant at practice Monday.

Zylstra had his 21-day practice window opened Monday after spending the last two months on injured reserve with what previously was labeled an ankle injury, but the Lions' first Week 14 practice report has him tagged with a knee injury. Irrespective of the issue, the tight end is likely a long shot to play in Thursday night's matchup with the Cowboys, but with Brock Wright (neck) potentially set to miss extended time, Zylstra will provide the team with some much-needed depth once activated from IR.

The Packers waived Sheppard on Monday.

Sheppard was signed to the active roster ahead of Green Bay's Thanksgiving matchup against the Lions. While he was active for the contest, he did not log a snap. Sheppard is a candidate to rejoin the Packers' practice squad.

Vaki (thumb) was a limited participant at practice Monday.

Vaki was able to play through an ankle injury in the team's 34-27 loss to the Packers on Thanksgiving, but he may have picked up a thumb injury in the contest. The running back's ability to practice in any capacity is a good sign, and he'll have two more chances to log a full practice and leave the injury behind before Thursday's matchup with the Cowboys.

Branch (toe) was a limited participant at practice Monday.

Branch was once again present on the injury report Monday as he continues to battle a toe injury that's lingered for several weeks. The safety was able to register 10 total tackles (seven solo) and two passes defensed while playing 95 percent of Detroit's defensive snaps in the team's 34-27 loss to the Packers on Thanksgiving, so he's likely on track to play again Thursday against Dallas. Branch will have two more chances to log a full practice before taking on the Cowboys.

Van Ness (foot) was spotted in a walking boot Monday, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

Van Ness has been hampered by a foot injury for much of the season and attempted a return in Week 12 against the Vikings. However, he managed only six defensive snaps in that game and was inactive for Week 13. In comments to the media, Van Ness said that he's focused on rehab, so it sounds as if he could be in for at least one more absence in Week 14 against the Bears.
