Tyler Boyd (concussion) has been ruled out for the remainder of the game.

Boyd is unfortunately done for the night, and he wasn’t able to get on the stat sheet before leaving. Tee Higgins could see more work in the slot with others mixing in behind A.J. Green and the rookie.

Eric Ebron (back) is officially questionable to return for the Steelers.

Ebron took a shot to the back/side area and was in some pain, and he’s now getting carted to the locker room after going to the sideline for a bit. The good news is Ebron was laughing and appeared to be joking while on his way to the locker room, so hopefully he’s able to return tonight against the Bengals.

Cam Akers is dealing with a high-ankle sprain.

Head coach Sean McVay says that the rookie will miss the next game, and we would guess the extent of the injury could end his regular season. If so, Akers’ first campaign will end with 124 carries, 591 yards, and two touchdowns (plus 7/71/1 as a receiver). He didn’t get going until being featured late, but Akers looks like a future RB1 for fantasy purposes. The Rams will hope to have their second-round pick back in January.

Derek Watt leaves game after hit to the head.

Watt went down and was motionless after a knee to the head on a special teams tackle, but he was at least able to walk off with assistance. Pittsburgh’s offense will be without their fullback the rest of the way.

The Dolphins waived Antonio Callaway.

Miami gave Callaway an opportunity to get his career on track, but they are now deciding to move on. The talented former fourth-round pick should get another chance with a new team at sone point, but he’ll likely have to settle for a practice squad spot as the regular season comes to a close in a couple of weeks.

Clyde Edwards-Helaire (hip/ankle) is out for the regular season.

This isn’t surprising after CEH was helped off the field yesterday. NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport says Edwards-Helaire will “have a shot for the playoffs depending on how he does in rehab.” Edwards-Helaire’s rookie season ends with 181 carries for 803 rushing yards and four rushing touchdowns along with 36 receptions for 297 receiving yards and one receiving touchdown. Edwards-Helaire might not have put up the monstrous fantasy numbers many expected him to as the lead back in Kansas City’s offense, but he played well and would be a boost for the unit if he can get back for the postseason. For now, former All-Pro Le’Veon Bell will lead the Chiefs backfield.

The Eagles have designated DeSean Jackson (ankle) to return from IR, according to NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo.

It sounds like there isn’t a guarantee that Jackson will return this year, but he’s going to try to show he’s healthy enough in practice. If the veteran does end up coming back, it would likely be in a situational role as a deep threat behind Alshon Jeffery, Jalen Reagor, and Greg Ward.
