What you need to know about Week 14's injury report

The Indianapolis Colts will venture into Cleveland minus their top cornerback.
Coach Chuck Pagano told reporters Friday that Vontae Davis has been ruled out for Sunday's game with the Browns after missing his third straight practice on Friday with the concussion he suffered last week against the Redskins.
Defensive coordinator Greg Manusky said Thursday that he believed Daviswould play, but without him the Coltswill lean on Darius Butler across fromGreg Toler.
It's a boost for Brian Hoyer and theBrowns, who will look to unleash wideout Josh Gordon in a must-win game for Cleveland. Stopping Andrew Luck and Indy's high-octane passing game is another story.
Here's what else you need to know about Friday's injury report:
1. Also from Indy: After promising to jump into the Dawg Pound if he scores against the Browns on Sunday, return man Josh Cribbs returned to practice Friday after missing the past two days with a knee injury.
2. We don't expect Redskins wideout DeSean Jackson to play against the Rams after missing his third straight practice with the fibula contusion he suffered against the Colts on Sunday; however, he is officially questionable, as is defensive end Jason Hatcher (knee).
3. Cardinals coach Bruce Arians announced that Andre Ellington and Tyrann Mathieu will miss Arizona's contest against the Chiefs, while wideout Larry Fitzgerald will be a game-time decision and is questionable with a knee injury, as is offensive tackle Jared Veldheer and his ankle.
4. Another week, another questionable tag for Broncos tight end Julius Thomas and his ankle. Joining him as a maybe against the Bills is run-stuffer Terrance Knighton (elbow). CornerbackKayvon Webster (shoulder) will skip the contest.
5. Reggie Bush may finally return this week. The Lions' running back is probable after missing the last three games with ankle and back injuries.
6. Browns tight end Jordan Cameron practiced again on Friday after missing the past five weeks with a concussion. He's questionable for Sunday but has only been cleared for light contact. Also joining Cameron as questionable: Jabaal Sheard(foot), Karlos Dansby (knee) and Isaiah Crowell (hip).
