Dontayvion Wicks WR | PHI
Packers' Dontayvion Wicks: Downgraded to out with concussion
Wicks (concussion) will not return to Saturday night's game against the Ravens.
Wicks exited the game just ahead of halftime after catching his lone target for seven yards. With Wicks done for the night, Matthew Golden and Bo Melton are next up for wideout snaps behind Romeo Doubs, Christian Watson and Jayden Reed.

Dalton Schultz TE | HOU
Texans' Dalton Schultz: Held to 19 yards
Schultz recorded three receptions on four targets for 19 yards in Saturday's 20-16 win over the Chargers.
C.J. Stroud distributed targets evenly to his pass catchers, leaving Schultz as one of five Texans with either four or five targets. He didn't do much with the opportunity he did get, and he also picked up a key unsportsmanlike conduct penalty to stall a promising drive early in the second quarter. Schultz remains an inconsistent contributor, as this marked his third performance in his last six games with under 25 yards. However, he's either topped 50 yards or found the end zone in the other three contests in that span.

Dontayvion Wicks WR | PHI
Packers' Dontayvion Wicks: Exits for concussion evaluation
Wicks exited Saturday night's game against the Ravens with a head injury and is questionable to return.
Wicks is undergoing concussion evaluation just before halftime. Prior to exiting, Wicks caught his lone target in the passing game for a gain of seven yards. Matthew Golden and Bo Melton would be in line for additional playing time while Wicks is sidelined.

Jawhar Jordan RB | HOU
Texans' Jawhar Jordan: Keeps role in Houston's backfield
Jordan rushed the ball eight times for 36 yards in Saturday's 20-16 win over the Chargers.
Woody Marks returned from a one-game absence to retake the lead role in Houston's backfield, though Jordan usurped Nick Chubb for the complementary role. Jordan chipped in decent gains of 10 and nine yards with his opportunity and looks to be in position to contribute to Houston's postseason run.

Nate Hobbs CB | SF
Packers' Nate Hobbs: Questionable with knee issue
Hobbs (knee) is questionable to return to Saturday night's game against the Ravens, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
Hobbs exited the game in the second quarter with a knee injury. The issue could potentially be an aggravation of a prior issue the cornerback suffered in Week 4 against the Cowboys. If Hobbs is unable to return, Bo Melton will likely see an increased role in the Packers' secondary for the remainder of Saturday night's contest.

Zayne Anderson SAF | MIA
Packers' Zayne Anderson: Ruled out for rest of Week 17
Anderson (ankle) has been ruled out for the remainder of Saturday night's game against the Ravens.
Anderson's ankle injury seems to be too much to play on, and the defensive back's injury status has been quickly confirmed. Another depth defensive back will have to take over Anderson's role on special teams, such as Kamal Hadden or Kitan Oladapo.

Nico Collins WR | HOU
Texans' Nico Collins: Another modest performance
Collins recorded three receptions on four targets for 57 yards in Saturday's 20-16 win over the Chargers.
The Texans accounted for most of their offensive production on two deep touchdown passes on their first two possessions, and Collins wasn't on the receiving end of either. He was one of five Houston pass catchers to earn at least four targets, as C.J. Stroud distributed targets evenly to his skill-position players. The end result was that Collins turned in a modest 57 yards, his second consecutive game with under 60 receiving yards.

Jordon Riley DT | GB
Packers' Jordon Riley: Ruled out with Achilles
Riley (Achilles) has been ruled out for the remainder of Saturday night's game against the Ravens, Ryan Wood of USA Today reports.
Riley had to be carted off the field at the beginning of the second quarter, and the defensive tackle will not be able to return to the contest. The 27-year-old's absence means that Warren Brinson will likely see a higher percentage of defensive snaps for the rest of Saturday's game.

Zayne Anderson SAF | MIA
Packers' Zayne Anderson: Questionable to return
Anderson (ankle) is questionable to return to Saturday night's game against the Ravens.
Anderson exited the game in the first quarter with an ankle injury. The safety logged a solo tackle before his exit, and someone will need to fill the defensive back's role on special teams while he is absent from the contest.

Jayden Higgins WR | HOU
Texans' Jayden Higgins: Highest yardage total as pro
Higgins recorded two receptions on four targets for 88 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's 20-16 win over the Chargers.
Higgins made an immediate impact in Saturday's game, breaking behind the Chargers' defense to catch a 75-yard touchdown on Houston's first possession of the game. He tacked on a 13-yard catch to begin the following drive, but he failed to make another reception thereafter. Even with just his production early in the contest, Higgins managed the highest yardage total of his rookie season and found the end zone for the first time since Week 12.
