St. Louis Rams wide receiver Danny Amendola (16) won't be available against the San Francisco 49ers in Week 13.

St. Louis Rams wide receiver Danny Amendola, who had 11 catches for 102 yards against the San Francisco 49ers in a 24-24- tie in Week 10, won't be available for the rematch today due to a right heel injury. Rookie Chris Givens will start in his place.

-- Minnesota Vikings star Percy Harvin will miss his third consecutive game with an high-ankle sprain. On the other side of the field, Green Bay Packers outside linebacker Clay Matthews is out again with an ailing hamstring.

-- Seattle Seahawks receiver Sidney Rice was added to the injury report Friday with a calf issue, but he is active as the team visits the Chicago Bears. For the Bears, linebacker Lance Briggs, running back Matt Forte and cornerback Charles Tillman are available as expected after suffering ankle injuries last week against Minnesota. Chicago had already ruled out return specialist and receiver Devin Hester (concussion) and guard Chris Spencer (knee).

-- The New England Patrtios are missing tight end Rob Gronkowski (forearm), but Aaron Hernandez (ankle) and wide receivers Brandon Lloyd (thigh) and Julian Edelman (concussion) are active as the Patriots try to wrap up the AFC East with a win over the Dolphins in Miami.

-- Detroit Lions wideout Titus Young is out for a second game due to disciplinary issues. For the visitors, Indianapolis Colts rookie tight end Coby Fleener and cornerback Vontae Davis will start after missing four games with shoulder and knee injuries, respectively.

-- New York Jets backup quarterback Tim Tebow is inactive against the Arizona Cardinals because of a rib injury. Third-stringer Greg McElroy is active for the first time in his NFL career and will back up starter Mark Sanchez.

Cardinals wide receiver Andre Roberts is out with an ankle injury, while defensive end Calais Campbell is sidelined with a calf injury. Starting quarterback Kevin Kolb is out for the sixth consecutive game, as expected, with a rib injury. Rookie Ryan Lindley is making his second start.

-- Jacksonville receivers Justin Blackmon (groin) and Cecil Shorts III (hamstring) are active after being listed as probable. They both missed practice on Thursday.

-- Running back Jonathan Stewart (ankles) is inactive for the Carolina Panthers with an ankle injury, leaving DeAngelo Williams to carry the load against the Kansas City Chiefs.
