Another weekend, another full slate of NFL action. Unfortunately, the highlights don’t always come without a cost, and Week 14 has been no exception, with several big names exiting due to injury. Below you’ll find a roundup of the most notable players to leave Sunday’s games, with notes on their replacements and respective game statuses:

Former XFL star A.J. McCarron, who’s in his second stint with Cincinnati, briefly took over for Browning, throwing a single pass. But Browning returned for the final minutes of action, shaking off what the Bengals deemed “muscle cramps.”
WR
Nico Collins (Texans) had a single catch to eclipse 1,000 yards on the season before leaving against the Jets with a calf injury.

Tutu Atwell (Rams) exited to receive a concussion evaluation in the second quarter against the Ravens, forcing journeyman Demarcus Robinson into a larger role alongside Cooper Kupp and Puka Nacua.
Devin Duvernay (Ravens) logged a single kick and punt return before leaving against the Rams with a back injury. Running back Keaton Mitchell, who’s split carries with Gus Edwards, is Baltimore’s backup…
