  • Tua Tagovailoa QB | MIA

    Dolphins' Tua Tagovailoa: Gets limited practice tag

    Tagovailoa (hip) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

    Tagovailoa's listing matches the limited tag he received Wednesday, when the Dolphins didn't hold a practice for the Christmas holiday but submitted an estimated report. The Dolphins haven't provided any indication that Tagovailoa's hip injury is anything that will seriously threaten his availability for Sunday's game in Cleveland, and with Miami still in the playoff picture in Week 17, the quarterback is fully expected to play, even if he's operating at less-than-full health.

  • Derek Carr QB | NO

    Saints' Derek Carr: Not practicing yet

    Carr (left hand) was a non-participant at Thursday's practice.

    For a second week in a row, Spencer Rattler continues to take first-team reps with the Saints offense, per Ross Jackson of WWL Louisiana, while Carr focuses on rehabbing his left hand, which suffered a fracture Week 14 at the Giants and has sidelined him the last two games. According to interim coach Darren Rizzi, Rattler will start Sunday against the Raiders if Carr is unavailable, something that may be confirmed as soon as New Orleans posts its final injury report of the week Friday.

  • Browns' Dorian Thompson-Robinson: Remains limited in practice

    Thompson-Robinson (calf) was a limited practice participant Thursday.

    For the second straight day, Thompson-Robinson went down as a limited participant on the Browns' practice report while he tends to a calf strain that he said he sustained on the second snap of his first start of the season in last Sunday's 24-6 loss to the Bengals, according to Zac Jackson of The Athletic. While the injury didn't hinder Thompson-Robinson much as a runner (nine carries for 49 yards), he mostly underwhelmed while directing the offense, leading the team to just one scoring drive while completing 20 of 34 pass attempts for 157 yards and two interceptions. Despite the second-year quarterback's poor outing, offensive coordinator reiterated earlier Thursday that Thompson-Robinson is on track to make a second straight start Sunday versus the Dolphins, per Cabot. For his part, Thompson-Robinson told Chris Easterling of the Akron Beacon Journal that he doesn't expect the calf issue to slow him down against the Dolphins, but it won't be clear until after Friday's practice whether or not he heads into the weekend with an injury designation.

  • Jameis Winston QB | NYG

    Browns' Jameis Winston: Remains limited Thursday

    Winston (shoulder) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

    Winston has been working through an injury to his throwing shoulder, which forced him to serve as the Browns' emergency third-string quarterback in Week 16 against the Bengals behind starter Dorian Thompson-Robinson (calf) and backup Bailey Zappe. Offensive coordinator Ken Dorsey said Thursday that Winston's injury will determine whether he'll be the top backup or emergency quarterback for Sunday's game against the Dolphins, per Chris Easterling of the Akron Beacon Journal.

  • Joe Burrow QB | CIN

    Bengals' Joe Burrow: Cleared to play in Week 17

    Burrow (wrist/knee) doesn't have a designation for Saturday's home game against the Broncos, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.

    Burrow was a limited participant in practice throughout the week due to a pair of injuries, but as expected, neither health concern will keep him from playing Saturday. If the Bengals' longshot bid for the postseason comes to an end in the aftermath of Week 17 action, Burrow could be a candidate to rest in Week 18, but fantasy managers can feel comfortable including the quarterback in their fantasy lineups, even in a matchup versus a tough Denver defense. Burrow has thrown for at least three touchdowns in seven straight games and is averaging 319.4 passing yards per contest during that stretch.

  • Aaron Rodgers QB | PIT

    Jets' Aaron Rodgers: Puts in full practice

    Rodgers (knee) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

    Rodgers' availability for a Week 17 matchup with the Bills initially appeared to be in some question after he disclosed Tuesday that he suffered an MCL injury in this past Sunday's loss to the Rams. However, after he was listed as a full participant on Wednesday's practice estimate, Rodgers got back on the field for an actual practice session Thursday to put to rest any concerns about his status heading into Sunday. Though Rodgers seems set to playing all 17 games in 2024 after tearing his Achilles tendon just a few snaps into the 2023 season, he'll be working behind a depleted offensive line the rest of the way. He may also be without the services of his most-trusted target in wideout Davante Adams (hip), who has missed the first two Week 17 practices to put his status for Sunday's game in Buffalo in some jeopardy.

  • Josh Allen QB | BUF

    Bills' Josh Allen: Logs full practice Thursday

    Allen (right elbow/right shoulder) practiced fully Thursday.

    After being listed as a full participant on Wednesday's practice estimate, Allen was able to maintain that level of activity in Thursday's session, paving the way for him to start Sunday's game against the Jets. Though the Chiefs have clinched the AFC's No. 1 playoff seed, the Bills can secure the No. 2 seed (and the option to rest starters Week 18) with a win this weekend, Maddy Glab of the team's official site reports.

  • Drew Lock QB | SEA

    Giants' Drew Lock: Stays limited in practice

    Lock (shoulder) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

    Giants head coach Brian Daboll said earlier this week that Lock is in line to make a second straight start Sunday versus the Colts, though it's not yet clear if the quarterback will approach that contest with an injury designation. He's been listed as a limited participant in both of the Giants' first two Week 17 practices, so he may need to put in a full session Friday to clear up any lingering concern about his availability heading into the weekend.

  • Colts' Anthony Richardson: Optimism regarding Week 17 status

    The Colts are reportedly optimistic about Richardson (back/foot) playing Sunday against the Giants, per Stephen Holder of ESPN.com.

    Per the report, Richardson has made consistent progress and is responding to treatment, but the QB's performance in Friday's practice will be critical in determining his Week 17 status. After being deemed a non-participant on Wednesday's practice estimate, Richardson didn't participate in practice Thursday, which led to Joe Flacco taking first-team signal-caller reps in his place, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.

  • Jalen Hurts QB | PHI

    Eagles' Jalen Hurts: Not seen at practice

    Hurts (concussion) wasn't spotted during the media-access portion of Thursday's practice, Eliot Shorr-Parks of Sports Radio 94 WIP Philadelphia report.

    After leaving early in Philadelphia's Week 16 loss at Washington with a concussion, Hurts was listed as a non-participant on Wednesday's practice estimate. On Thursday, head coach Nick Sirianni confirmed that the quarterback remained in the concussion protocol, according to Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer. While Hurts looks set to be listed as a non-participant for the second straight day, fellow quarterback Kenny Pickett mixed into drills Thursday, albeit with some extra padding around his midsection to protect his rib issue, according to Martin Frank of The Delaware News Journal. Aside from Hurts and Pickett, Philadelphia employs signal-callers Tanner McKee on the active roster and Ian Book on the practice squad.
