  • SaRodorick Thompson 2005 RB
    SaRodorick Thompson: Joining Dallas
    5h ago

    Thompson was signed to the Cowboys' practice squad Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

    Thompson was let go by the Seahawks in early December and will now join the Cowboys' practice unit prior to Week 18. The 24-year-old will provide Dallas with an additional running back option heading into the postseason.

    Rams' Tre Tomlinson: Returns to practice Wednesday
    7h ago

    Tomlinson (hamstring) was a full practice participant Wednesday, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

    A hamstring injury has sidelined Tomlinson for each of Los Angeles' past two games, but the defensive back appears to be doing better given his ability to practice in full to open Week 18 prep. Tomlinson has worked primarily in a special-teams role this season, but he may see additional work on defense against San Francisco on Sunday if he's able to suit up since Rams head coach Sean McVay has indicated that the team will be resting multiple starters on both offense and defense.

    Burns (knee) was a full participant at the Seahawks' practice Wednesday, Curtis Crabtree of Fox 13 Seattle reports.

    Burns suffered a knee injury in the second half of the team's Week 17 loss to the Steelers, but he now appears ready to go for Sunday's regular season finale versus the Cardinals. The 28-year-old will be back in his extreme depth role in Seattle's secondary for their must-win Week 18 contest.

    Brown (knee) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

    Brown hurt his knee in Sunday's Week 17 win over the Giants and had to exit the contest early. However, his ability to practice in full to begin Week 18 prep suggests that the injury isn't a serious concern. As such, Brown is likely to be able to suit up in Sunday's regular-season finale versus San Francisco.

    Patriots' Tyrone Wheatley: Practice window expires
    7h ago

    Wheatley (knee) won't be activated off injured reserve this week, Dakota Randall of NESN.com reports.

    Whetley had his 21-day practice window expire Wednesday about being designated to return from IR on Dec. 13, leaving him sidelined for Sunday's regular season finale versus the Jets. The offensive lineman appeared in two games this season with New England and he'll now set his sights on earning a roster spot with the team for their 2024 campaign.

    Jets' Wes Schweitzer: Designated to return from IR
    7h ago

    The Jets designated Schweitzer (calf) to return from injured reserve Wednesday, and he was a limited participant in practice, Ethan Greenberg of the team's official site reports.

    Schweitzer has had two stints on injured reserve this season due to a calf injury. The Jets have only one more game left this season and have already been eliminated from playoff contention, so Schweitzer's designation to return Wednesday may mean that the teams intends for him to suit up Sunday versus New England. If that happens, it would be just the seventh game he has played on the campaign.

    Titans' Will Levis: Misses practice Wednesday

    Levis (foot) didn't practice Wednesday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

    Per Wyatt, Levis said Wednesday that while he's dealing with some pain from pushing off his right foot, he hopes to be able to play in Sunday's season finale against the Jaguars. If, however, the rookie signal-caller is unable to progress to the point that the Titans feel comfortable playing him this weekend, Ryan Tannehill would be in store for another turn as Tennessee's starting quarterback.

    Dolphins' Tua Tagovailoa: Good to go for Week 18
    13h ago

    Tagovailoa (quadriceps/left shoulder) was a full participant in practice Wednesday, Travis Wingfield of the Dolphins' official site reports.

    Tagovailoa experienced some shoulder soreness during this past Sunday's 56-19 loss to the Ravens in addition to a quad injury, but neither issue is significant enough to threaten his availability for Sunday's home game against the Bills. A win Sunday would clinch the AFC East crown and the No. 2 seed in the AFC for the Dolphins.

    Bagent (illness) did not participate at practice Wednesday.

    It's not clear what kind of ailment Bagent has or how severe it might be at this point. If he's not able to get back to practice Thursday or Friday, he'll likely end up sidelined for Week 18.

  • Zach Wilson NYJ QB
    Jets' Zach Wilson: Time could be up in NY
    13h ago

    Rich Cimini of ESPN.com believes Wilson -- who remains in concussion protocol and won't play in Sunday's season finale against the Patriots -- likely won't be back with the Jets next season.

    After struggling for two seasons as the starter, Wilson was demoted to a backup role behind Aaron Rodgers heading into his third NFL season. Rodgers tore his Achilles four plays into the season, thus thrusting Wilson back into a starting role. The second overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft has shown flashes of brilliance, but he hasn't sustained strong play while catching some bad breaks along the way. After posting his best game of the season with 301 yards and two touchdowns in a Week 14 win over the Texans, Wilson was concussed in the first half of the team's Week 15 loss to Miami, and that may be his final chapter as a Jet. With Rodgers set to return in 2024, the Jets will likely opt for a more reliable backup to their 40-year-old starter.

  • Lamar Jackson BAL QB
    Ravens' Lamar Jackson: Won't play in Week 18
    13h ago

    Jackson won't play in Saturday's game against the Steelers, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

    With the Ravens having secured the top seed in the AFC playoffs, Jackson will be rested in the team's regular-season finale. In his stead, Tyler Huntley will draw the start at quarterback this weekend, with Josh Johnson backing him up. Jackson -- the presumptive frontrunner for the NFL's MVP award -- will get an extended breather before the Ravens' postseason opener in the divisional round.

  • Tyler Huntley BAL QB
    Ravens' Tyler Huntley: Tabbed for Week 18 start
    13h ago

    Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said Huntley will start Saturday's game against the Steelers.

    Baltimore has clinched the No. 1 seed in the AFC playoffs and will rest MVP frontrunner quarterback Lamar Jackson, paving the way for Huntley to make his first start of the season. Huntley will face a motivated Pittsburgh defense, as the Steelers have almost no path to the postseason without a win Saturday. The mobile backup has a 3-5 record over eight previous career starts, but Huntley has been effective in limited relief action this season, completing six of nine passes for 57 yards and two touchdowns while adding 15 rushing yards on seven attempts.

    Edwards-Helaire (illness) did not appear on the Chiefs' injury report Wednesday.

    Edwards-Helaire missed the team's Week 17 win over the Bengals due to an illness, but he now appears set to return to the field for Sunday's regular season finale. With Kansas City already set to sit some of their starters, including Patrick Mahomes, Edwards-Helaire could be asked to start in place on Isiah Pacheco (quadriceps) on Sunday versus the Chargers in the team's regular season finale.

  • Emanuel Wilson GB RB
    Packers' Emanuel Wilson: Estimated as FP at walkthrough Wed.
    9h ago

    Wilson (shoulder) was estimated as a full participant in Wednesday's practice walkthrough.

    Wilson was designated to return from injured reserve Dec. 20 but hasn't yet been activated. He logged a trio of full practices last week and began Week 18 prep with an estimated FP, so he at least seems to be mostly healthy. Even if Wilson is activated ahead of Sunday's Week 18 matchup against Chicago, he isn't likely to play more than a minimal role in a game the Packers need to win in order to guarantee a spot in the postseason.

  • Kenneth Walker III SEA RB
    Seahawks' Kenneth Walker: Doesn't practice Wednesday
    10h ago

    Walker (shoulder) was listed as a non-participant in Wednesday's practice, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

    Earlier Wednesday, head coach Pete Carroll told Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic that Walker took part in the team's walkthrough, but the running back ultimately went down as having logged no activity on the Seahawks' first injury report of Week 18 prep. A shoulder issue has been to blame for Walker's practice restrictions for three weeks in a row, and despite leaving this past Sunday's loss to the Steelers in the third quarter, he racked up 30 touches for 131 yards from scrimmage and one rushing touchdown over the last two games. Meanwhile, No. 2 back Zach Charbonnet has seen his touch count fall off a cliff of late, as he's turned just 10 into 37 total yards during that same span. As long as Walker is able to emerge from this week and suit up Sunday at Arizona, he likely will get the bulk of the work between him and Charbonnet.

    49ers' Elijah Mitchell: Comes down with illness

    Mitchell didn't practice Wednesday due to an illness, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.

    The 49ers already have ruled out top running back Christian McCaffrey for Sunday's regular-season finale against the Rams due to a strained right calf, which would give Mitchell an opportunity to be the team's No. 1 back under normal circumstances Week 18. But with an illness in tow, it can't be counted on. Mitchell has two more chances this week to log on-field work, but in the meantime Jordan Mason and practice-squad member Tyrion Davis-Price represent the healthy options at the position on San Francisco's roster.

  • Rico Dowdle DAL RB
    Cowboys' Rico Dowdle: Limited Wednesday

    Dowdle (ankle) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.

    Dowdle has been dealing with the ankle issue for weeks and was ultimately deemed inactive ahead of last Saturday's win over the Lions. In his place, Deuce Vaughn served as the top backup to Tony Pollard and played eight snaps on offense, but Vaughn has since been placed on injured reserve with an ankle injury. If Dowdle isn't ready to play in the Cowboys' regular-season finale this Sunday in Washington, Malik Davis would likely be elevated from the practice squad to serve as Dallas' No. 2 back behind Pollard.

    Gray (shoulder) was a full participant at the 49ers' practice Wednesday, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.

    Gray was designated to return from injured reserve last week and his full participation to open the week seems to suggest that he's nearing an activation by San Francisco. If activated, the 24-year-old will provide the team with some added depth behind the likes of Deebo Samuel and Brandon Aiyuk at wide receiver heading into the postseason.

    McCloud (ribs) was designated to return from injured reserve by the 49ers on Wednesday, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.

    McCloud was expected to return to practice this week and he was a full participant at the team's session Wednesday. The return-specialist has been on IR since Dec. 9 while dealing with an injury to his ribs and the team will now have a 21-day window to either activate him or leave him on IR for their postseason run.

    Toney (hip/ankle) was limited at practice Wednesday.

    Toney -- who didn't practice last week -- has missed two straight games, but his limited participation in Wednesday's session suggests that he could potentially return to action Sunday against the Chargers. That said, with the Chiefs locked into the AFC's No. 3 playoff seed, the team has no incentive to play the wideout in Week 18 if he's less than 100 percent.

    Per Matt Schneidman of The Athletic, Toure was spotted using crutches Wednesday. He would technically be eligible to return to action for the Super Bowl in the event Green Bay advances to the title game Feb. 11, but in all likelihood, his next chance to suit up will come next season.

Fellow banged-up wide receivers Christian Watson (hamstring) and Jayden Reed (chest) also had caps on their reps to begin Week 18 prep, so the trio will be monitored closely as the weekend approaches to see if any of them may be unavailable Sunday against the Bears.

    Musgrave is maintaining his practice activity level from last week, when he was listed as doubtful for Week 17 action and eventually wasn't activated from injured reserve ahead of this past Sunday's game at Minnesota. Head coach Matt LaFleur told Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel last Thursday that Musgrave must be medically cleared from his lacerated kidney and also look like himself in order to suit up on game days, which clearly hasn't come to pass yet. Musgrave will have two more chances this week to give the Packers enough evidence that activation from IR is a reasonable course of action before Sunday's regular-season finale against the Bears.

His status for Week 18 against the Jets will remain up in the air for now, but he still has Thursday and Friday to ramp up his activity level in practice and increase his chances of suiting up this weekend.

    Kelce now has two more chances to practice fully ahead of Sunday's game against the Chargers, but with the Chiefs locked into the AFC's No. 3 playoff seed, the tight end is a candidate to be rested this weekend, especially if he's less than 100 percent. Kelce approaches Week 18 action needing 16 more receiving yards to hit the 1,000-yard mark for the eighth consecutive season.

    Higbee is nursing a shoulder injury, and the Rams have no reason to push him to play Week 18 with a Wild Card spot already sewn up. McVay plans to rest several key starters, and Higbee will get an extra week to tend to his ailing shoulder. Look for Davis Allen to see significant playing time with Carson Wentz under center versus San Francisco on Sunday.

    Bass made both of his field-goal tries and all three of his extra-point kicks in Sunday's 27-21 win over the Patriots.

    It's never easy kicking in Buffalo in December, but the weather has actually been fairly tame over the past two home games and Bass has delivered as he's known to do. Bass still hasn't missed a kick since Week 12, and he's now posted 118 points on the season, working his way up to a tie for 11th in kicker scoring. The Buffalo offense will not be resting any key players in what could be a do-or-die situation (or at least a key game for the divisional title and the AFC's No. 2 seed) when the Bills travel to Miami for a Week 18 primetime showdown.

  • Younghoe Koo ATL K
    Falcons' Younghoe Koo: Poor showing in Chicago
    2d ago

    Koo made one of three field-goal attempts and both of his extra-point tries during Sunday's 37-17 loss to the Bears.

    Koo's 50-yard field-goal attempt was short to end the first drive of the game, and he's now missed three straight from 50 or farther after starting the year 3-for-3 on such kicks. He also hit the left upright with a 42-yard attempt to end the Falcons' second offensive drive. Before that miss, Koo was 10-for-11 on attempts between 40 and 49 yards out. Koo made his final three kicks, including a 38-yard field goal, to somewhat salvage the performance. Koo's struggles on Sunday could be attributed to the weather, as snow flurries and strong wind were certainly factors in Chicago, but he's been inconsistent over the last four weeks, going just 7-for-11 on field-goal attempts during that stretch, which is boosted by a 5-for-5 outing in Week 16.
