The Steelers will head south next weekend for a matchup with the New Orleans Saints at 3:25 on Sunday. (CBS)
Bryce Callahan- Saw his season come to a premature end in Week 14 after breaking a bone in his foot in the win over the Rams. He was placed on Injured Reserve and will miss the remainder of the season.
Christian Covington—Credited with a tackle in the Texans 29-22 win on the road over the New York Jets as the Texans improved to 10-4 on the year.

Vance McDonald— Caught a pair of key passes in Pittsburgh's 17-10 win over New England. His first reception was good for a five-yard touchdown from Ben Roethlisberger on the Steelers first series and his second provided a key first down late in the game. McDonald has now matched his career high for touchdown receptions (4) while already setting career bests for starts (12), receptions (46) and receiving yards (522). The Steelers will head south next weekend for a matchup with the New Orleans Saints at 3:25 on Sunday. (CBS)
