- QB Matthew Stafford, WR Marvin Jones, and WR Anquan Boldin of the Detroit Lions as 75% of the Rams starting defensive line will be a game time decision and CB Trumaine Johnson has been ruled out.
- WR Jamison Crowder as Washington is expected to play more 3-wide sets if TE Jordan Reed cannot play (concussion protocol).
- WR Eli Rogers and TE Jesse James of the Pittsburgh Steelers in a plus matchup against the Miami Dolphins. WR Markus Wheaton has been ruled out and WR Sammie Coates is dealing with a broken finger and laceration on his hand.
