A brief overview of the injuries that will feature in Sunday's NFL Week 14 matchups:
Bears WR Brandon Marshall (Out Indefinitely)
CHICAGO, Ill. - Chicago Bears wide receiver Brandon Marshall will be out indefinitely as of Friday after sustaining a rib and lung injury in the team's 41-28 loss to the Cowboys Thursday night.
It is likely he will sit out the remainder of the season as the Bears have been eliminated from postseason contention.
Marshall was inadvertently kneed in the back and side by safety Barry Church on a 4th-and-7 converting reception.
He remained on the field for a few minutes before being helped off by two trainers. After a trip to the locker room, he was taken to the hospital, where he remains as of Friday evening.
The team announced Marshall had suffered two fractured ribs on the collision, and that it is an injury to his lung that keeps him hospitalized.
His eight receiving touchdowns share a lead on the team.

Giants RB Rashad Jennings (Questionable)
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. - Giants running back Rashad Jennings has been listed as questionable by the team for their game Sunday at Tennessee, though he did practice Friday.
He suffered a sprained ankle in the team's 25-24 loss at Jacksonville last Sunday, and he failed to include himself in practices the following Wednesday or Thursday.
Rookie tailback Andre Williams will likely start in the Giants backfield should Jennings fail to appear.

Saints RB Mark Ingram (Probable)
METAIRIE, La. - Saints running back Mark Ingram will probably play Sunday when the team hosts the Carolina Panthers.
Ingram, suffering ankle and toe injuries, was limited in team drills and practice Friday, though did feature in practices throughout the previous week.
He rushed 23 times for 122 yards in the Saints' 35-32 victory at the Pittsburgh Steelers last Sunday.

Lions RB Reggie Bush (Probable)
ALLEN PARK, Mich. - Lions tailback Reggie Bush has been listed as probable, and is likely to play, when the team hosts Tampa Bay Sunday.
He participated in the team's practices this week after missing the last three games with an ankle injury.
Suffering ankle injuries over the previous eight weeks, he was excused from five full contests and was limited in two others.
He was first injured in Week 5 against Buffalo, an injury that was aggravated two weeks later in New Orleans, then injured again in Week 10 against Miami.
Bush has carried 53 times for Detroit on 191 yards rushing and a touchdown, adding 169 yards on 26 receptions.

Broncos TE Julius Thomas (Questionable)
ENGLEWOOD, Colo. - Julius Thomas was listed as questionable for Denver's game against the Buffalo Bills as he is still on the mend from a sprained left ankle.
He was absent from the team's starting eleven for the past two weeks and was limited in practice during the week.
Thomas leads the league with 12 touchdown receptions.

Browns TE Jordan Cameron (Questionable)
BEREA, Ohio - After being limited in practice for the third straight day, Jordan Cameron is questionable to start when Cleveland hosts the Indianapolis Colts Sunday.
Cameron is awaiting passage from a neurologist to receive contact after missing five games following a concussion sustained in the Browns' 23-13 victory over the Oakland Raiders Oct. 26th.

Colts CB Vontae Davis (Out)
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. - Colts cornerback Vontae Davis will be excused from the team's game in Cleveland Sunday after suffering a concussion in the team's victory over Washington last Sunday.
Davis was concussed on his tackle attempt of Redskins tailback Roy Helu in the third quarter.
He did not practice this week by rule of the league's concussion protocol.
/
Redskins WR DeSean Jackson (Questionable)
ASHBURN, Va. - Washington Redskins wide receiver DeSean Jackson is questionable Sunday when the team hosts the St. Louis Rams.
Jackson did not practice for a third straight day and will likely be a game-time decision, a decision made with respect to how much pain he can endure in his injured right fibula.
He sustained bruises on both legs during the Redskins' 49-27 loss to the Colts last Sunday.
"If he's not full strength, then he'll be a long shot to play," Redskins coach Jay Gruden said.
