Cowboys RB Tony Pollard rehabbed, but did not participate in practice Wednesday.

It would not be surprising to see Pollard out once again Week 15. Pick up Clement or have another option ready.

Falcons head coach Arthur Smith said last month that there was no update on Ridley, who is on the non-football illness list after stepping away from the team to deal with mental health issues. On Monday, he said things remain status quo when it comes to Ridley.

“As soon as we get an update, we’ll give you an update,” Smith said, via D. Orlando Ledbetter of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. “I understand that you’ve got to ask, but there is no update there.”

Ridley only played five games for the Falcons this year and the Falcons’ lack of depth at wideout is illustrated by the fact that Russell Gage is the only receiver with more catches than Ridley had before leaving the team, the story pointed out.

The Chargers didn't practice today, but if they had, RB Austin Ekeler (ankle) would not have participated.

A report earlier today said Ekeler's ankle is "fine." The team has a short week in Week 15, taking on the Chiefs in a huge AFC West showdown.

Cowboys coach Mike McCarthy is “feeling a lot better” about RB Tony Pollard’s ability to play Sunday.

The Cowboys take on the Giants and already say Pollard's chances are better now versus last week leading up to the game against Washington. Pollard missed his first game of season with a torn plantar fascia. It's worth nothing that Elliott and Clement split the workload, with Zeke getting 12 carries to Clement's 13 and each catching a pass as well.

Cowboys RB Tony Pollard (foot) is questionable for Week 14's game against the Washington Football Team.

Pollard said he has a tear in his plantar fascia, which sounds all sorts of awful. If he does not play, Zeke will get a larger workload and still be mediocre.

Dallas Cowboys running back Tony Pollard will be a game-time decision for Week 14 against Washington.

Pollard said that he tore his plantar fascia on his 58-yard touchdown run against the New Orleans Saints. He will test out the injury before game time prior to the team's medical staff making the final call. Both Pollard and Ezekiel Elliott are dealing with injuries that are limiting their practice participation, so the Cowboys could lean on the pass against a burnable Washington secondary, even if both backs are active. Pollard is currently our 25th ranked running back for Week 14.

Quarterback Taysom Hill will also be playing through the pain of a mallet finger injury in his right throwing hand and a partially torn plantar fascia in his foot.

Hill's follow-through on a pass hit a defending player, but Hill was able to return to the game. According to the story, it appears Hill will play through the injuries. Hill struggled with four interceptions in the game but did throw for two TDs and ran for over 100 yards.

Titans designated Julio Jones to return to practice from IR.

The Titans take on the Jags this week but it's unclear if Jones will be activated for Week 14. Jones last played in Week 7. A Jones return likely pushes down Westbrook, Rogers and Hollister on the depth chart.

Saints QB Taysom Hill may have torn a tendon in his middle finger on his throwing hand, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. It is a similar injury to what Russell Wilson had.

UPDATE: Hill has a mallet finger according to Adam Schefter of ESPN, but he will not require surgery like Russell Wilson.

Welcome to QB purgatory, New Orleans! There has been zero injury luck for the Saints at the most important position in sports. Hill will try to play but do not be surprised if Siemian finishes the season as their starter.

Saints QB Taysom Hill has no injury designation and is expected to start for the Saints Thursday night.

Hill appears set to get his chance to right the Saints offense against a beatable Cowboys defense.
