  • Jeff Wilson RB | MIA

    Dolphins' Jeff Wilson: Elevated from practice squad

    The Dolphins elevated Wilson from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official sitereports.

    The eight-year veteran was active in the Dolphins' first two games of the season, seeing just one offensive snap before returning to the practice squad. With De'Von Achane (shoulder) doubtful for Week 18, Wilson will likely act as a depth piece behind Jaylen Wright and Ollie Gordon.

  • Phil Mafah RB | DAL

    Cowboys' Phil Mafah: Activated off IR

    Mafah (shoulder) was activated off injured reserve Saturday and remains questionable for Sunday's game against the Giants.

    Mafah upgraded to full participation in practice Friday after being limited to start the week. Though he is still questionable, the 23-year-old could be an important depth option versus the Giants, as the Cowboys are without their top two running backs, Javonte Williams (shoulder/neck) and Malik Davis (calf/eye), leaving Jaydon Blue as the sole healthy option in Week 18. If Mafah does play, the 2025 seventh-round pick would be making his career debut.

  • Malik Davis RB | DAL

    Cowboys' Malik Davis: Lands on IR

    The Cowboys placed Davis (eye/calf) on injured reserve Saturday, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

    Davis was ruled out for Sunday's game against the Giants due to eye and calf injuries that he sustained against the Commanders on Christmas Day. Both Davis and Javonte Williams (shoulder) were placed on injured reserve, which corresponded with the Cowboys activating Josh Butler (knee) from the reserve/PUP list and Phil Mafah (shoulder) from injured reserve. Davis will finish the 2025 season with 52 carries for 250 yards and two touchdowns along with two catches (on five targets) for 16 yards.

  • Cowboys' Javonte Williams: Placed on injured reserve

    The Cowboys placed Williams (shoulder) on injured reserve Saturday, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

    Williams was already ruled out for Sunday's regular-season finale against the Giants due to a lingering shoulder injury, but his placement on injured reserve opens up a spot on Dallas' 53-man roster for the activation of Phil Mafah (shoulder) from IR. With Williams and Malik Davis (eye/calf) both out, Mafah and rookie Jaydon Blue are set to lead the Cowboys' backfield for Week 18. Williams enjoyed a career year in Dallas and will end the 2025 season with 252 carries for 1,201 yards and 11 touchdowns while adding 35 catches (on 51 targets) for 137 yards and two scores across 16 games. Williams signed a one-year, $4 million contract with the Cowboys in March and will enter the 2026 offseason as a free agent.

  • Jaydon Blue RB | DAL

    Cowboys' Jaydon Blue: In line to lead backfield

    Blue is set to lead the Cowboys backfield Sunday at the Giants with Javonte Williams (shoulder/neck) and Malik Davis (calf/eye) ruled out for the contest, Joseph Hoyt of The Dallas Morning News reports.

    A rookie fifth-round pick, Blue has previously seen action for the Cowboys from Weeks 5 through 8, when he combined for 22 carries for 65 yards and one catch (on one target) for five yards. Assuming he leads the backfield Week 18, his competition for reps will be fullback Hunter Luepke and potentially 2025 seventh-round pick Phil Mafah (shoulder), the latter of whom must be activated from injured reserve Saturday in order to play Sunday.

  • Raiders' Raheem Mostert: Officially questionable for Week 18

    Mostert (knee/ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Chiefs, Paul Gutierrez of the Raiders' official site reports.

    Mostert produced a FP/DNP/LP practice log for Week 18 prep while managing knee and ankle injuries, and his status for Sunday's game may not be officially known until the Raiders announce their list of inactive players approximately 90 minutes before the 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff. Dylan Laube would serve as the Raiders' main returner on kickoffs and join Zamir White as the rotational backfield options behind Ashton Jeanty if Mostert is not cleared to play.

  • Blake Corum RB | LAR

    Rams' Blake Corum: Questionable after limited practice

    Corum (ankle) was a limited participant in practice Friday and is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's regular-season finale against Arizona, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.

    Corum was forced out of Monday's loss to Atlanta early due to a right ankle injury and was listed as a non-participant Wednesday and Thursday, so it's encouraging to see him back on the practice field Friday. Meanwhile, top RB Kyren Williams (ankle) also is listed as questionable after having logged a trio of limited sessions, though head coach Sean McVay said he's expected to play Week 18, per Grosbard. McVay already has stated that the Rams' starters will play Sunday regardless of whether the team has anything to play for in terms of playoff standing, but Corum's injury could be one that motivates the team to err on the side of caution.

  • Kyren Williams RB | LAR

    Rams' Kyren Williams: Questionable, should play

    Williams (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.

    Rams coach Sean McVay said Friday that he expects Williams to play, whereas fellow running back Blake Corum (ankle) appears truly questionable. McVay also said he'll use starters even if Sunday's game doesn't matter for playoff seeding, but that doesn't necessarily mean Williams would handle a full workload.

  • Breece Hall RB | NYJ

    Jets' Breece Hall: Questionable for Sunday

    Hall (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's season finale against the Patriots after practicing in a limited fashion Friday.

    After logging a 'DNP' on Wednesday, Hall was limited both Thursday and Friday before being deemed questionable for Week 18 action. If the Jets' top running back is unavailable for Sunday's 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff, Kene Nwangwu and Khalil Herbert would be next up for the team's carries, with Isaiah Davis (concussion) ruled out for the contest.

  • Kimani Vidal RB | LAC

    Chargers' Kimani Vidal: Questionable for Sunday

    Vidal (neck) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at Denver.

    Meanwhile, Omarion Hampton (ankle) has been ruled out, and Hassan Haskins (concussion) also is listed as questionable. Because QB Justin Herbert (left hand/rest) isn't in line to play this weekend, there's a chance Vidal and/or Haskins also end up on the inactive list Sunday, a scenario that would leave the backfield to some combination of practice-squad members Jaret Patterson and Amar Johnson. Ultimately, the Chargers will need to make decisions on Vidal and Haskins about 90 minutes before a 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff.
