Ward was placed in the concussion protocol after reporting symptoms after Sunday's loss at Jacksonville, the Indianapolis Star reports.

It's Ward's third concussion of the season. He suffered a concussion in Week 1 and missed a game. He suffered another concussion in warmups before a Week 6 game and missed another five games. It wouldn't be surprising if he missed the rest of the season as a result of this setback.

Greenard had two total tackles as he played as the backup to starter Dallas Turner in Sunday's win over Washington. Greenard said he's still working through a left shoulder injury, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

Greenard has been battling a sore shoulder since suffering the injury Nov. 9. He played on 29 of the defense's 52 snaps, though that is an increase from last week when he played just 15 snaps (22 percent). He could see more work Week 15 at Dallas as he works his way back to full strength.

Sims had one reception for nine yards on his only target in Sunday's win over Washington.

It was surprising to see Sims get a target as he'd played just ten snaps on offense since joining the Vikings in October. However, the Vikings used plenty of three-tight-end sets in the win. Sims isn't likely to get more than a few targets the rest of the season unless injuries strike T.J. Hockenson and Josh Oliver, however.

The Chargers officially activated Haskins (hamstring) from injured reserve ahead of Monday night's game against the Eagles.

Haskins thus is on track to be available for his first game action since Week 7. Also in line to return to the Chargers backfield Monday is Omarion Hampton (ankle), who was activated off IR by the team as well. With Kimani Vidal -- who has been the team's RB1 in Hampton's absence -- still in the mix, Haskins is in line to play a depth role versus Philadelphia.

Felton had one reception for 10 yards on his only target in Sunday's win over Washington.

Felton got playing time (11 snaps) late in a blowout win. He has just two receptions and two targets this season, as he's played almost al his snaps on special teams.

The Chargers officially activated Hampton (ankle) from injured reserve ahead of Monday night's game against the Eagles.

Hampton, who was designated for return from IR on Nov. 25, is still listed as questionable for the contest, but the running back -- who practiced fully Friday and Saturday -- appears poised to see his first game action since suffering a left ankle fracture in Week 5. Official confirmation of his status will arrive once the Chargers' inactives are posted ahead of Monday's 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff. Assuming he's available versus Philadelphia, Hampton will rejoin a backfield that's been led by Kimani Vidal, a context that could result in something of a Week 14 timeshare if Hampton is eased back in at all. In the five games Hampton played in before his injury, the 2025 first-rounder carried 66 times for 314 yards and two TDs and caught 20 of his 22 targets for 126 yards.

Nailor had three receptions for 30 yards on three targets in Sunday's win over Washington.

Nailor didn't have a reception and just one target each game the prior two weeks amid Minnesota's struggles through the air. With J.J. McCarthy showing signs of being a credible passer in the win, Nailor could get back to seeing 3-5 targets a game like earlier in the season. However, he's prone to low-output games when the offense struggles, considering Justin Jefferson, Jordan Addison and tight end T.J. Hockenson draw the bulk of the targets.

Hendrickson is slated to undergo core-muscle surgery later this week and is expected to face a six-week recovery, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Ben Baby of ESPN.com previously reported that Hendrickson was on track to see a specialist for his injury and would be out this coming weekend against the Ravens. With surgery now on tap, Hendrickson could be sidelined for the rest of the regular season, and he's thus a candidate for injured reserve. The standout defensive end hasn't played since Week 8 and has notched 16 tackles, 4.0 sacks, one forced fumble and one pass defensed over seven appearances on the season.

Scott had three carries for 15 yards and one reception for five yards on his lone target in Sunday's 31-0 win over Washington.

Scott had three carries in a second consecutive game, but only because both were blowouts (in opposite directions). He had no carries or targets the four games before, as he's unlikely to see any action on offense if both Aaron Jones and Jordan Mason are healthy.

Coach Shane Steichen noted Monday that "the hope" is Leonard (right knee) will be able to play Sunday against the Seahawks, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.

At this stage, Steichen can't say for certain that Leonard will be available this weekend, which means that current practice squad member Brett Rypien may be pressed into duty in Week 15. In any case, it seems likely that the Colts will bring in another QB in short order, with Daniel Jones out for the season with an Achilles' injury and Anthony Richardson (orbital) still on IR.
