Jets head coach Aaron Glenn said Wednesday that Cook will start Sunday's regular-season finale against the Bills, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Cook will close out the 2025 campaign with a fourth consecutive start for New York, though he also played 90 percent of offensive snaps versus Miami in Week 14. The undrafted rookie has failed to lead the team to a single win in that span and has compiled just a 1:7 TD:INT, but Glenn said Cook will remain the starter for Week 18 even with veteran Tyrod Taylor (knee/personal) back in the building. With Justin Fields (knee) on IR, Taylor will act as Cook's backup as long as he's cleared to suit up versus Buffalo.

Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said Wednesday that Love (shoulder/concussion) will practice but remains in the NFL's five-step protocol for brain injuries, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Love was listed as a limited participant at all three of Green Bay's practice sessions prior to being ruled out for the team's loss to Baltimore in Week 17, in which backup Malik Willis (shoulder) also suffered an injury late, leading to third-string quarterback Clayton Tune taking the field. Per Zach Kruse of USA Today, LaFleur confirmed Wednesday that some starters will be held out of Sunday's regular-season finale against the Vikings, since the Packers are already locked into the No. 7 playoff seed in the NFC. While LaFleur declined to specify which starters won't play, it could make sense to allow both Love and Willis time to get healthy for the postseason, even if one or both are cleared to play Week 18. Green Bay is signing Desmond Ridder to the practice squad Wednesday, a move that provides the team with additional depth alongside Tune in case Love and/or Willis are unavailable versus Minnesota.

Coach Sean McDermott noted Wednesday that it looks like Allen (foot) is "moving in the right direction" as Sunday's regular-season finale against the Jets approaches, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports.

That said, Allen won't participate in Wednesday's walk-through. Per Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com, McDermott didn't provide any updates on who will or won't be playing Sunday. According to Alec White of the team's official site, as Week 18 action approaches, the Bills are currently the No. 7 playoff seed in the AFC and are still in play to be the No. 5 or No. 6 seed depending on how things shake out this weekend.

Richardson (eye) will not be activated from injured reserve this week and is out for Sunday's regular-season finale against the Texans.

Richardson is still having vision impairments after suffering a fractured orbital bone Oct. 12. He had his 21-day practice window opened Dec. 18 but has only been a limited participant in practice the past couple weeks. After making 11 starts in 2024, Richardson lost his starting job to Daniel Jones over the summer, and the Colts then turned to 44-year-old Philip Rivers in Week 15 in an attempt to save the season. Richardson made just two appearances in 2025, completing one of two passes for nine yards. He "rushed" four times for negative-one yard via kneel-downs. Richardson's future in Indianapolis will be a discussion point this upcoming offseason.

Coach Shane Steichen confirmed Wednesday that Leonard will start Sunday's season finale against the Texans, JJ Stankevitz of the Colts' official site reports.

Additionally, Steichen noted that the Colts won't activate Anthony Richardson (orbital) from injured reserve this week. Veteran signal-caller Philip Rivers' three-week stint as the team's starter thus concludes, with practice squad member Seth Henigan a candidate to be elevated ahead of Week 18 action in order to back Leonard up. Leonard represents a fantasy lineup option for those scrambling for QB help this weekend, given that teams such as the Chargers (who plan to rest Justin Herbert) may elect to keep a number of starters out of harm's way.

Hurts and the majority of the Eagles' key starters are expected to rest during Sunday's regular-season finale against the Commanders, Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Philadelphia has already clinched at least the No. 3 seed in the NFC playoffs. Though the team could secure the No. 2 seed by both earning a victory over Washington in Week 18 and having the Bears lose to the Lions, it appears head coach Nick Sirianni has decided that the benefits of allowing his starters an additional week to get healthy for the playoffs outweigh the allure of playing for a potential seeding bump. As such, Hurts will wrap the 2025 regular season having completed 294 of 454 passes for 3,224 yards and a career-high 25 passing touchdowns, to go with six interceptions, across 16 appearances. He also carried the ball 105 times for 421 yards and eight touchdowns, substantially lower rushing production than his prior four seasons, while fumbling eight times (four lost).

Jackson (back) is expected to participate in Wednesday's practice, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Jackson wasn't able to practice in any capacity prior to being ruled out for Baltimore's win over the Packers in Week 17 due to a lower-back contusion, so it will be encouraging to see him participating in even a limited capacity Wednesday. Baltimore is approaching a Sunday night regular-season finale on the road against Pittsburgh that will decide the AFC North champion, and Rapoport reports that the Ravens are optimistic about Jackson's odds of being cleared to return Week 18. Tyler Huntley, who completed 16 of 20 passes for 107 yards and one touchdown versus Green Bay while also rushing eight times for 60 yards, will return to the backup role if Jackson is cleared to play.

The Buccaneers listed Mayfield as a limited participant in Tuesday's walk-through practice due to knee and right shoulder injuries, Brianna Dix of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

Mayfield had notably been listed with a left shoulder injury on Buccaneers injury reports from Weeks 13 through 15, but he's now contending with an issue to his throwing shoulder along with his knee coming out of this past Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Dolphins. With the Bucs needing a win to have any hope of claiming the NFC South title, Mayfield isn't expected to be in any real danger of missing Saturday's matchup with the Panthers, but the pair of injuries will cast further doubt on the quarterback's chances of returning to his early-season form. During Tampa Bay's current four-game losing streak, Mayfield is averaging just 222.5 passing yards per contest and has thrown for six touchdowns while turning the ball over six times (five interceptions, one lost fumble).

The Colts aren't expected to activate Richardson (eye) from injured reserve ahead of Sunday's season finale versus the Texans, Stephen Holder and Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com report.

Richardson was cleared to resume practicing Dec. 18, but he has yet to regain full vision in his right eye after fracturing an orbital bone Oct. 12. The third-year quarterback should continue to practice in limited fashion, but the Colts plan to have Riley Leonard make his first NFL start in Week 18, while Philip Rivers will serve as the No. 2 signal-caller. Richardson will close the season having made just two brief appearances at the tail end of blowout wins in Weeks 3 and 5, and Indianapolis will most likely decline the pricey fifth-year option on his rookie contract this offseason. The 23-year-old could still be a candidate to open 2026 as the team's starter with Daniel Jones (Achilles) headed for free agency and at risk of missing time to begin the campaign even if Indianapolis re-signs him.

Rivers is set to move to the bench for Sunday's regular-season finale against the Texans with the Colts planning to have rookie Riley Leonard start at quarterback, Stephen Holder and Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com report.

After being officially eliminated from playoff contention over the weekend, the Colts will give reps to younger players like Leonard in Week 18. The 44-year-old Rivers ends a brief run as the Colts' starter after he was lured out of retirement following Daniel Jones' season-ending Achilles injury in Week 14. Though the team went 0-3 with Rivers under center, he performed competently in his first NFL action since the 2020 season, completing 58 of 92 attempts for 544 yards, four touchdowns and three interceptions. Rivers is expected to head back into retirement following the season finale.
