Green Bay Packers tight end Luke Musgrave (ankle) was a limited participant in practice on Thursday.

Braelon Allen, Isaiah Davis Limited With Back Injuries

New York Jets running backs Braelon Allen (back) and Isaiah Davis (back) were both limited in practice on Wednesday. As the Jets prepare for Week 16, Allen and Davis are two names to monitor.

Luke McCaffrey Limited In Practice On Wednesday

Washington Commanders wide receiver Luke McCaffrey (shoulder) was a limited participant during Wednesday's practice.

Sterling Shepard Doesn't Participate In Practice Wednesday

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Sterling Shepard (foot) did not practice on Wednesday. As Week 16 prep begins, the Buccaneers are without their No. 3 receiver.

David Moore Limited To Kick Off Week 16 Prep

Carolina Panthers wide receiver David Moore (concussion) was a limited participant in practice on Wednesday. Moore presumably suffered the concussion last Sunday against the Dallas Cowboys.

DK Metcalf Misses Practice As Week 16 Prep Begins

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver DK Metcalf (shoulder) did not participate in practice on Wednesday.

Kenneth Walker III Opens Week 16 With A Missed Practice

Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III (calf) did not participate in practice on Wednesday. The 24-year-old has already missed two games in a row, and it now looks like there's a real chance he could miss a third.

Hunter Henry Delivers Low Yardage Total In Loss To Cardinals

New England Patriots tight end Hunter Henry caught all four of his targets for 25 yards during Sunday's Week 15 loss to the Arizona Cardinals.

New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson rushed for 69 yards on 13 carries during Sunday's loss to the Arizona Cardinals. He also converted his lone target into a 16-yard reception.

DeMario Douglas Salvages Performance With Short Touchdown Grab

New England Patriots wide receiver DeMario Douglas caught each of his three targets for 11 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's Week 15 loss to the Arizona Cardinals.
