Eric Ebron, Dontrelle Inman Back At Practice

Indianapolis Colts tight end Eric Ebron (quadriceps) and wide receiver Dontrelle Inman (shoulder) both returned to practice on Thursday after sitting out Wednesday.

Buffalo Bills running back LeSean McCoy (hamstring), who returned to a full practice on Thursday, said he will play in Week 16 against the Patriots.

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster (groin) left practice early with a groin injury on Thursday and was officially limited. Smith-Schuster's Friday practice status will be huge.

Los Angeles Chargers running back Austin Ekeler (concussion, neck) is listed as doubtful for Week 16 against the Ravens on Saturday. Ekeler looks primed to miss his second straight game.

Colt McCoy Hopes To Play In Season Finale

Washington Redskins quarterback Colt McCoy (leg) is still hoping to play in the Week 17 season finale against the Eagles despite suffering a broken fibula 27 days ago, according to a source.

Yu Darvish Resumes Throwing

Chicago Cubs starting pitcher Yu Darvish (elbow) has resumed light throwing on flat ground after having a minor right elbow procedure that ended his 2018 season in September.
