Las Vegas Raiders tight end Michael Mayer suffered an ankle injury in the first half of Sunday's game against the Browns and has been ruled out for the remainder of the contest.

Rome Odunze brought in three of nine targets for 53 yards in the Chicago Bears' 31-28 win over the Steelers on Sunday. While he finished second in receiving yards for the Bears, his day could have been more productive with improved efficiency. Nevertheless, the second-year wideout eclipsed 50 receiving yards for the third time in five games, all contests in which he's drawn at least nine targets.

Moore was the only one of the two to get into the end zone, recording touchdowns of five and 25 yards in the first and third quarters, respectively.

He found Mitchell Tinsley for a 17-yard score late in the fourth quarter, briefly leaving the game for a finger check beforehand.
