Moton (back) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Buccaneers.

Moton practiced in full Friday and appears to have moved past his back injury in time to suit up for Sunday's divisional contest. He's now expected to start at right tackle in Week 16.

Lewis (illness) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Buccaneers.

The LSU product upgraded from a DNP on Wednesday to a full practice Friday, suggesting he's moved past his illness in time to play Sunday. Now fully healthy, expect Lewis to operate as the Panthers' top left guard in the Week 16 divisional matchup.

Kamara (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Jets, Matthew Paras of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

Kamara hasn't practiced or played since suffering an MCL sprain Week 12, leaving Devin Neal in the lead role until he suffered a season-ending hamstring injury Week 15. The Saints are left with Audric Estime and Evan Hull as the favorites for backfield work Sunday against the Jets.

Wharton (hamstring) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Buccaneers.

The first-year Panther didn't practice all week due to a hamstring injury, so it's no surprise that he won't suit up for Sunday's contest. Wharton is one of Carolina's top interior defensive linemen, recording 36 total tackles, including 2.0 sacks, over nine appearances this season. While he's sidelined, expect Bobby Brown to start alongside A'Shawn Robinson and Derrick Brown.

Coach Andy Reid said Rice (concussion) didn't practice Friday, Charles Goldman of AtoZSports.com reports.

Rice emerged from this past Sunday's loss to the Chargers with concussion symptoms and wasn't able to practice in any capacity as the Chiefs prepare for this Sunday's game at Tennessee. Reid relayed that he'll meet with Kansas City's training staff in the near future to determine who will be ruled out for Week 16 action, but because Rice has made no notable progress through the protocol for head injuries, he seems destined to be out this weekend.

London (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at Arizona, with Falcons coach Raheem Morris saying Friday that the expects the wideout to play, per Tom Pelissero of NFL Network.

London is on track to return from a four-game absence after logging limited practices Wednesday and Thursday. Fantasy managers will still need to keep an eye on the situation ahead of Sunday's 4:05 pm. ET kickoff, as London didn't quite make enough progress to avoid an injury designation for the game. It'll be a good matchup if he plays, given Arizona's recent struggles on defense.

Ekwonu (knee) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Buccaneers.

The 25-year-old upgraded from DNPs on Wednesday and Thursday to a limited session Friday, suggesting he's trending in the right direction ahead of Sunday's divisional matchup. If Ekwonu is inactive in the Week 16 contest, Yosh Nijman will likely get the nod at left tackle.

Oliver (knee) won't be activated from injured reserve before Sunday's game against the Chiefs, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Oliver hasn't played since Week 2 due to a knee injury. His window to return to practice was opened Wednesday, but he isn't quite ready to return to game action. Oliver remains on IR, with his next chance to see game action coming in Week 17 against the Saints.

Gray (concussion) won't play Sunday against the Chiefs, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Gray will sit out for the first time this season. He will need to clear the NFL's five-step concussion protocol to have a chance to play in Week 17 against the Saints. Joe Bachie or Dorian Mausi will likely play in Tennessee's base 3-4 defense as a result of Gray's absence.

Head coach John Harbaugh said Friday that Hill (neck) coming back in Week 17 against the Packers or Week 18 against the Steelers is a "real possibility."

Hill will miss a fourth consecutive game while on injured reserve Sunday against the Patriots, but the change-of-pace running back could be back before the conclusion of the regular season. Keaton Mitchell and Rasheen Ali have mixed in behind Derrick Henry during Hill's absence.
