No Practice For Jordan Reed Tuesday
Washington Redskins tight end Jordan Reed (ankle, foot) remained sidelined during practice on Tuesday. Reed didn't play in Week 15 and seems unlikely to suit up on Saturday against the Titans. Even with Washington still technically in contention for a wild-card spot in the NFC, they might elect to hold the oft-injured Reed out for […]

Marcus Mariota On Injury Report
Tennessee Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota (foot) was limited in the team's walkthrough practice on Tuesday. Wide receiver Tajae Sharpe (ankle) did not practice.

Keenan Allen Still In Doubt
Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen (hip) missed practice on Monday and his status for Week 16 against the Ravens remains in doubt.

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette (foot) will be on the injury report for Week 16 against the Dolphins with a foot injury.

Ito Smith's Season Is Over
Atlanta Falcons rookie running back Ito Smith (knee) will have knee surgery and will be placed on Injured Reserve, according to head coach Dan Quinn.
