  • Kimani Vidal RB | LAC

    Chargers' Kimani Vidal: Questionable for Saturday

    Vidal (neck) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Texans after being listed as a limited participant on Thursday's practice estimate.

    Vidal was deemed a non-participant both Tuesday and Wednesday, with the running back's estimated limited listing Thursday offering hope that he may be available this weekend. Look for added context regarding Vidal's Week 17 status to arrive late Friday or early Saturday, but if he's made inactive for the Chargers' 4:30 p.m. ET kickoff, added touches would be available for fellow RB Omarion Hampton, with Hassan Haskins and Jaret Patterson on hand in reserve.

  • Malik Davis RB | DAL

    Cowboys' Malik Davis: Hits century mark Thursday

    Davis carried the ball 20 times for 103 yards and failed to catch either of his two targets in the Cowboys' 30-23 win over the Commanders on Christmas Day.

    Javonte Williams (shoulder) was knocked out of the game early, and with Dallas taking a 24-10 lead into the second half, Davis saw a hefty workload as the team worked to burn the clock. It was the first 100-yard game of the fourth-year back's career -- his previous high was 47 yards, set in Week 13 this season -- and the carry volume also doubled his prior high. There's no indication yet how serious Williams' shoulder injury is, but with nothing on the line in a Week 18 clash with the Giants except the chance at a .500 record, Davis could be in line for big volume again.

  • Patriots' TreVeyon Henderson: Estimated as limited Thursday

    Henderson (concussion protocol) was listed as limited on Thursday's practice estimate.

    Henderson was also deemed limited Wednesday, which leaves the running back with one more opportunity to upgrade to a full practice listing before the Patriots' Week 17 injury designations are posted. If Henderson ends up being unavailable Sunday against the Jets due to the concussion he sustained this past weekend, Rhamondre Stevenson would be in line to see added backfield touches versus New York.

  • Alvin Kamara RB | NO

    Saints' Alvin Kamara: Listed as DNP again

    Kamara (knee/ankle) is listed as a non-participant on Thursday's estimated injury report, Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football reports.

    Kamara remains sidelined due to the sprained MCL that he suffered Week 12 against the Falcons, and if the Saints ultimately rule him out for Sunday's contest at Tennessee, he'll have just one more chance to suit up this season Week 18 in Atlanta. With Devin Neal (hamstring) on injured reserve, all of Taysom Hill (12), Audric Estime (five), Evan Hull (five), Tyler Shough (two and Mason Tipton (one) handled carries this past Sunday versus the Jets.

  • Lions' David Montgomery: Suiting up Thursday

    Montgomery (illness) is listed as active Thursday in Minnesota.

    Montgomery missed Tuesday's walkthrough due to an illness and followed it up with a limited walkthrough Wednesday before the Lions listed him as questionable for Week 17 action. Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reported Thursday morning that Montgomery was expected to suit up, which now has come to pass. Working solidly behind No. 1 RB Jahmyr Gibbs over the last six games, Montgomery has reached double-digit touches only once during that stretch en route to 241 yards from scrimmage and three rushing TDs on 43 touches.

  • Cowboys' Javonte Williams: Exits with shoulder injury

    Williams suffered a shoulder injury during Thursday's game in Washington, Joe Hoyt of The Dallas Morning News reports.

    After his four-yard touchdown run early in the second quarter, Williams didn't receive another touch before the Cowboys deemed him questionable to return. If he's unable to get back into the contest, he'll end Week 17 action with 13 carries for 54 yards and the aforementioned score and no catches (on two targets). Malik Davis should garner most of the RBs reps for as long as Williams is sidelined, but FB Hunter Luepke also is on hand for snaps.

  • Jaydon Blue RB | DAL

    Cowboys' Jaydon Blue: Healthy scratch again Week 17

    Blue (coach's decision) is inactive for Thursday's game against Washington, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.

    Blue has fallen out of the Cowboys' running back rotation, as he hasn't played since Week 8. Dallas will carry just two running backs -- Javonte Williams and Malik Davis -- plus fullback Hunter Luepke into their Christmas Day matchup.

  • Commanders' Jacory Croskey-Merritt: Faces opportunity with Rodriguez out

    Croskey-Merritt looks set to operate as Washington's lead backfield option Week 17 with Chris Rodriguez (illness) inactive for Thursday's contest against the Cowboys.

    Croskey-Merritt will have a chance to operate in an expanded role in a favorable divisional matchup on Christmas Day, as he and Rodriguez have split backfield opportunities for Washington down the stretch of the regular season. With Rodriguez inactive due to an illness after having been added to the team's injury report Thursday morning, Croskey-Merritt could now handle a workload similar to what he saw Week 15 versus the Giants. Rodriguez couldn't face New York due to a groin injury, paving the way for Croskey-Merritt to log a career-high 18 carries for 96 yards and one score. Jeremy McNichols and Chase Edmonds are available as change-of-pace options behind Croskey-Merritt.

  • Commanders' Chris Rodriguez: Inactive Thursday

    Rodriguez (illness) is inactive for Thursday's game against the Cowboys.

    Rodriguez was added to the Commanders' injury report Thursday morning due to an illness, and now that he's been deemed inactive, look for Jacory Croskey-Merritt to lead a Week 17 backfield that also includes Jeremy McNichols and Chase Edmonds. Rodriguez thus will target a return to action in his team's season finale Week 18 against the Eagles.

  • Lions' David Montgomery: Expected to play Thursday

    Montgomery (illness), who is officially listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Vikings, is expected to play, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

    Montgomery was added to Detroit's injury report as a non-participant at Tuesday's walkthrough session and then managed to handle limited practice reps in Wednesday's walk-through, so it's always seemed as though he was trending in the right direction. While Montgomery's status won't be official until roughly 90 minutes prior to Thursday's 4:30 p.m. ET kickoff, the expectation is that he'll be able to play through his illness and handle his usual role as the top complementary option to Jahmyr Gibbs. Montgomery has now gone six straight games without recording double-digit carries, though he's scored in three of his last four appearances.
