James Conner (quad) will not play tonight, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.

Conner was able to practice on a limited basis this week, but the team is holding him out for a game they likely feel they can win without him. Benny Snell and Jaylen Samuels should lead the backfield tonight, and Snell in particular is suddenly an RB2 play that has a very good chance of finding the end zone. Hopefully the Steelers have Conner back for a big game versus the Colts in Week 16.

The Bengals promoted Kevin Hogan to the active roster.

Hogan will backup Ryan Finley tonight against the Steelers before likely being sent back down to the practice squad, which is allowable due to the COVID-based rules for 2020.

DeeJay Dallas (ankle) suffered a Grade 3 ankle sprain.

Overall, this is good news after Dallas was carted off yesterday against Washington. Seattle is fortunate enough to be very deep at running back, and—though it may be a stretch—hopefully Dallas can work his way back deep into the postseason. The Miami product had a solid rookie regular season, showing flashes when he was given opportunities on offense.

Clyde Edwards-Helaire leaves game with apparent leg injury.

[UPDATE: It is a hip/leg injury for Edwards-Helaire.] Edwards-Helaire had his left leg rolled up on pretty badly, and he’s being helped to the locker room without putting any pressure on his left leg. Hopefully this is just a situation where CEH where he got a bit scared that his leg bent so much, but more information on the impressive rookie running back’s status should be available in the next day or so. Before leaving, Edwards-Helaire had 14 carries for 79 yards and one reception for four yards.

Jalen Reagor (ankle) is officially questionable to return for the Eagles.

It’s late in the fourth quarter, so Reagor might have trouble returning against the Cardinals. The rookie receiver has had a solid Week 15, with five receptions for 48 yards before leaving. Reagor has shown a nice connection with new Eagles starter Jalen Hurts over the past couple of weeks.

David Njoku (knee) is officially active for Sunday night.

With Austin Hooper (neck) also active, the Browns will have their top three tight ends tonight against the Giants. Njoku is not a highly recommended Week 15 fantasy option.

Austin Hooper (neck) is officially active for the Browns.

After missing last week with the neck issue, Hooper is back for Sunday night against the Giants. Hooper is the preferred fantasy option among Browns tight ends for Week 15.
