Rochell appeared to be shaken up while on punt coverage in the first half and is now in concussion protocol after being evaluated by medical staff. He has served exclusively on special teams, so his absence won't impact the Panthers' secondary much for the rest of Sunday's game.

Giants' Rakeem Nunez-Roches: Inactive with ankle issue
Nunez-Roches (ankle) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Raiders, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Nunez-Roches will miss his third consecutive game with persistent ankle and toe injuries. Darius Alexander is set to start at defensive end opposite Chauncey Golston yet again as the 2-13 Giants square off against the 2-13 Raiders in a game that will likely decide the No. 1 overall pick.

Mostert (ankle/knee) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Giants.

Jack Bech WR | LV
Raiders' Jack Bech: Won't play vs. NYG
Bech (back) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Giants.
Bech popped up on Friday's injury report due to a back injury and has not been cleared to play Sunday after going through pregame warmups. Bech's absence means Tyler Lockett, Alex Bachman and Dont'e Thornton are in line for larger roles on offense alongside Tre Tucker. With the Raiders eliminated from playoff contention, Bech's last opportunity to play this season is Week 18 against the Chiefs.

Seahawks' Rashid Shaheed: Concussion confirmed
Shaheed has been diagnosed with a concussion and won't return to Sunday's game at Carolina, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Shaheed was slammed to the turf out of bounds at the end of his eight-yard catch near the end of the first quarter and was slow to get up. He was evaluated for a possible head injury, which now has been confirmed. With Shaheed out for the rest of Week 17 and Cody White also exiting due to a groin injury, Cooper Kupp, Dareke Young and Jake Bobo currently are the healthy WRs available to Seattle's offense that aren't named Jaxon Smith-Njigba.

Russell Wilson QB | NYG
Giants' Russell Wilson: Emergency No. 3 QB again
Wilson is the Giants' emergency third QB for Sunday's game against the Raiders, Dan Salomone of the team's official site reports.
Jaxson Dart will thus be backed up by Jameis Winston on Sunday, with Wilson once again set to serve as the team's No. 3 QB in Week 17. Barring an injury to Dart or Winston, that's a role Wilson figures to reprise in next weekend's season finale.
