Phillip Lindsay (Den-RB)
Lindsay will undergo an MRI on his right wrist Tuesday, Mike Klis of 9News Denver reports.
Lindsay exited Monday's game against the Raiders with what was originally deemed to be a right hand injury, but further examination apparently has resulted in the medical staff targeting his wrist instead. Considering the Broncos don't have anything to play for in Week 17 against the Chargers, it wouldn't be surprising if the team decides to sit Lindsay for precautionary reasons even if the MRI comes back favorable. -- Rotowire.com

Case Keenum (Den-QB)
Keenum completed 23 of 37 passes for 202 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions in the Broncos' 27-14 loss to the Raiders on Monday. He also rushed three times for 19 yards and fumbled once, but it was recovered by the offense.
Keenum produced mixed results in the Christmas Eve loss, hitting DaeSean Hamilton and Courtland Sutton for touchdowns of seven and 19 yards, respectively, in the second half. However, he also threw interceptions in back-to-back fourth-quarter drives, short-circuiting any chance at a Broncos comeback. -- Rotowire.com

JaVale McGee (LAL-C)
McGee (illness) will not play Christmas Day against the Warriors, Mike Trudell of the Lakers' official site reports.
McGee was considered doubtful for Tuesday's game, so this announcement doesn't come with much surprise while the center continues to recover from a spat with pneumonia. This marks his fifth missed game. -- Rotowire.com

Phillip Lindsay (Den-RB)
Lindsay will not return to Monday's game against the Raiders after suffering a right hand injury.
Lindsay was the Broncos' leading rusher with 46 yards when he exited the game in the fourth quarter. The 24-year-old also had two catches for 11 yards. Royce Freeman and Devontae Booker will be expected to fill the void left by Lindsay for the remainder of Monday's game. -- Rotowire.com
