Dupree (hamstring) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Broncos.

Dupree was getting more snaps on defense in the absence of Tuli Tuipulotu (coach's decision), but the former is now being evaluated by medical staff for a hamstring injury. Odafe Oweh and Kyle Kennard are slated to see more work on defense if Dupree is unable to return.

Johnson (ankle) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Commanders.

Johnson has been limited to special teams work this season but was getting some reps on defense Sunday due to the Eagles resting key starters ahead of the NFC playoffs. Mac McWilliams will see more snaps at the slot for as long as Johnson is out of the game, while Michael Carter moves to safety.

Bolles (ankle) has returned to action Sunday versus the Chargers, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.

Bolles was briefly sidelined with an ankle injury, but he has now made his way back out onto the field. The 33-year-old is back in his starting role at left tackle against Los Angeles.

Johnson (knee) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Rams, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

With Johnson done for the day, Elijah Jones is in line to see more snaps at outside cornerback opposite Denzel Burke. Johnson did not record a tackle prior to his exit.

Higgins caught six of nine targets for 67 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 20-18 loss to the Browns.

The 26-year-old wideout set a new career high with his 11th TD reception of the season on a 13-yard connection with Joe Burrow in the second quarter. Higgins missed time once again in 2025 due to injuries, but he still posted a 59-846-11 line on 98 targets over 15 games. Ja'Marr Chase's presence caps Higgins' volume, but he remains one of the most productive No. 2 WRs in the league.

Pettis brought in all five targets for 60 yards in the Saints' 19-17 loss to the Falcons on Sunday. He also returned two punts for 17 yards.

Both Chris Olave (illness) and Mason Tipton (IR, groin) were unavailable Sunday, thrusting Pettis into an expanded role. The journeyman wideout/returner turned in a solid performance, tying for the team lead in receptions while falling just a yard short of doing the same in receiving yards. Pettis appeared in eight games for the Saints in 2025, generating a 9-127-0 line on 11 targets and adding 351 kickoff-return yards and 79 punt-return yards while playing out a one-year deal.

Chase caught eight of 10 targets for 96 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 20-18 loss to the Browns.

The superstar wideout fell just short of his eighth 100-yard performance of the season, but Chase did make his eighth trip to the end zone in 16 games with a four-yard toss from Joe Burrow in the fourth quarter. Chase wraps up 2025 with a 125-1,412-8 line on a career-high 185 targets, and his ability to continue posting elite numbers even with Burrow having missed half the year should keep him locked in as a first-round selection in 2026 fantasy drafts.

Brown carried the ball 13 times for 72 yards and caught four of six targets for 18 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 20-18 loss to the Browns.

The rushing yardage gave Brown his first 1,000-yard campaign on the ground, while the first-quarter TD gave him a total of 11 on the season (six rushing, five receiving) to tie his career high. The third-year RB also set a new personal best with 1,456 scrimmage yards, and he'll head into the final year of his rookie contract in 2026 locked into the top spot in the Cincy backfield.

Washington recorded five receptions on nine targets for 87 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 41-7 win over the Titans.

Washington remained Trevor Lawrence's top target for the third consecutive game, and he almost certainly would have commanded double-digit targets for the straight contest had Jacksonville not pulled its starters early in the fourth quarter. Washington showed rapport with Lawrence on the deep ball, recording three catches of at least 20 yards -- one of which went for a 23-yard score midway through the first quarter. He was briefly forced to the sideline late in the second quarter, though he missed only two plays and looks ready to be a big part of the Jaguars' playoff run.

Burrow completed 29 of 39 passes for 236 yards and three touchdowns with one interception in Sunday's 20-18 loss to the Browns. He added 17 rushing yards on two carries.

The star quarterback hit all his biggest targets -- Ja'Marr Chase, Tee Higgins and Chase Brown -- for scores, but Evan McPherson had a rough day, getting one PAT blocked and missing his second before the Bengals failed to convert a two-point attempt on their final TD. Burrow wraps up a tough 2025 season with a 17:5 TD:INT in only eight games, the second time in the last three years he's missed significant time due to injuries.
