#Panthers RB Christian McCaffrey (shoulder) is playing today vs. the #Saints, source said. He sat out Wednesday, mostly as a precaution.

#Ravens RB Alex Collins (calf) is playing today vs. the #Lions, source said. He practiced fully Thursday and Friday.

And the bad:
#AZCardinals RB Adrian Peterson (neck) is a longshot to play vs. the #Rams, sources say, though the final decision will be made this morning. He didn't practice all week. Kerwynn Williams would start.
— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) December 3, 2017
#Lions RB Ameer Abdullah (neck) is not expected to play today vs. #Ravens. Trying to spark their run game, Theo Riddick will be treated as the starter.
— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) December 3, 2017
#Panthers TE Greg Olsen (foot) is not expected to play vs. the #Saints, source said, as he battles through soreness. There is no structural issue, no long-term issue, but Carolina is being cautious on the turf. Should be a short absence.
