Miami Dolphins tight end Mike Gesicki (shoulder) has been given the thumbs up to take the field for Saturday's contest versus Las Vegas.

Golden State Warriors power forward Draymond Green (foot) was able to log a full practice session Saturday, moving him in the right direction of making his season debut Sunday against Chicago.

Indianapolis Colts left tackle Anthony Castonzo (knee, ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game versus the Steelers, which is sure to change the way that the offense operates.

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Mike Glennon is returning to the starting gig for Week 16 against Chicago, taking over for Gardner Minshew II.
