Offense

Calvin Anderson – OT, Broncos

Anderson was placed on injured reserve following a leg injury suffered in the Broncos’ Week 13 loss to the Chiefs. He did not play in their Week 16 game against the Raiders.

Nick Leverett – OT, Buccaneers

Leverett saw some work against the Panthers in Week 16. It was his first game action since being called upon in Week 12 against the Colts.

Defense

Bryce Callahan – CB, Broncos

Callahan has quickly returned to form and resumed his place in the starting lineup after missing six weeks on injured reserve. He had two tackles against the Raiders in Week 16.

Christian Covington – DL, Chargers

Covington notched his third start of the season in Week 16 on the road against the Texans, his former team. He posted a career-best nine tackles, including three solo takedowns.

Andrew Sendejo – S, Colts

Sendejo missed the Colts’ Week 16 game with a concussion.

Special Teams

Jack Fox – P, Lions

Fox punted two times against the Falcons, including a long punt of 57 yards, but it was the work he did with his arm — not his leg — that drew the most attention. Fox dialed up this magnificent throw on a fake punt attempt late in the second quarter:
