Borom (illness) is inactive for Monday's contest against the Steelers.

Borom was added to Monday's injury report and initially listed as questionable to face Pittsburgh. His absence leaves the Dolphins' offensive line lacking for depth, and positions Kendall Lamm as the teams top reserve option at offensive tackle behind starters Patrick Paul and Austin Jackson.

Warren (illness) is listed as active Monday against the Dolphins, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.

Pittsburgh added Warren to its injury report Monday as questionable for Week 15 action due to an illness, but it won't stop him from being available to the team's ground game. He's received double-digit touches in every contest this season en route to averaging 15.8 touches for 77.4 yards from scrimmage per game while scoring six total TDs in 12 appearances. Having said that, if Warren isn't 100 percent healthy, he could cede some of those reps to Kenneth Gainwell and even Kaleb Johnson.

Campbell (ankle/knee) is inactive for Monday's game against Pittsburgh.

Campbell will miss at least one game due to the ankle and knee injuries he suffered Week 14 against the Jets. In his last four appearances, Campbell contributed solely on special teams. His next chance to play will come Week 16 against Cincinnati.

Ewers (coach's decision) is inactive for Monday's game against the Steelers but will serve as the Dolphins' emergency third quarterback.

Ewers will handle his usual role as Miami's emergency third-string quarterback, meaning he will only be eligible to take the field Monday if both Tua Tagovailoa and Zach Wilson are forced out of the game. The only snaps Ewers has taken during the regular season thus far came Week 7 against the Browns.

Head coach Sean McDermott said that Phillips won't play Sunday against the Browns due to an ankle injury he suffered in the team's Week 15 win over the Patriots, Alec White of the Bills' official site reports.

Phillips was hurt in the first half of Sunday's win, during which he took nine defensive snaps but didn't record any counting statistics. While the veteran defensive tackle is more of a rotational player at this stage of his career, it's yet another hit for a defensive line that is already without Ed Oliver (biceps), Michael Hoecht (Achilles), DeWayne Carter (Achilles) and Landon Jackson (knee).

The Bears announced Monday that Edmunds (groin) has been designated for return from IR.

Edmunds has missed exactly four games due to his groin injury, and it appears he could be a candidate to return to the lineup as early as Saturday's divisional matchup against the Packers. Once fully cleared, Edmunds will figure to return to his integral every-down role on defense for Chicago. The Bears can activate him from IR at any point within his 21-day practice window.

Vikings head coach Kevin O'Connell said Monday that Greenard (shoulder) will undergo season-ending surgery, Kevin Seifert of ESPN reports.

Greenard missed two games due to the shoulder injury he picked up Week 10 and then attempted to play through the issue in three consecutive contests, including Sunday's win over the Cowboys. However, the injury is ultimately severe enough that he'll have to now undergo treatment. Greenard will conclude his second season in Minnesota with 38 tackles, three sacks, three passes defensed and one forced fumble in 12 games.

Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald said "we'll see" when asked Monday whether Horton (shin/groin) will return from IR in 2025, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.

Horton technically is eligible to return to practice this week, but Macdonald said the rookie wideout has still "got some hurdles he's got to get over." Macdonald added, "If he gets over them, we can get him back," an indication that if Horton is able to get back on the field this year, it may not happen until the end of the regular season or playoffs. If Horton returns at some point, he'll stand to contribute behind Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Cooper Kupp and Rashid Shaheed.

Bengals head coach Zac Taylor said Monday that Burrow will start the team's remaining three regular-season games despite having been eliminated from playoff contention, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.

Taylor dismissed the notion that Cincinnati might consider sitting Burrow to preserve his health, in spite of the fact that the team's 24-0 loss to Baltimore in Week 15 closed the door on any chances of a playoff berth. "We want to win," Taylor said. Burrow missed nine games due to a turf toe injury before returning to action on Thanksgiving Day, when he earned a win against the Ravens, but the Bengals then lost to the Bills before he struggled mightily during the team's most recent matchup against Baltimore. He'll work to both close out the year strong and avoid any injuries during Cincinnati's next three matchups, beginning Sunday on the road against Miami.

Coach Kyle Shanahan acknowledged Monday that he's unsure whether Pearsall (knee/ankle) will practice this week, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

The report notes that Pearsall, who also is dealing with a low ankle sprain, per Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com, aggravated his PCL injury during Week 16 action, which clouds the wideout's status for next Monday's game against the Colts. If Pearsall ends up limited or sidelined, added snaps alongside Jauan Jennings would be available for Kendrick Bourne and Demarcus Robinson.
