Stoll (illness) remains on the reserve/COVID-19 list ahead of Saturday's game against the Cowboys, Zach Berman of The Athletic reports.

The same applies to Dallas Goedert (illness), with Tyree Jackson, Richard Rodgers and Noah Togiai available to handle the Eagles' tight end duties in Saturday's regular-season finale.

As does Jack Stoll (illness), which sets the stage for Tyree Jackson, Richard Rodgers and Noah Togiai to handle the Eagles' tight end duties Week 18. Goedert thus will look clear the NFL's COVID-19 protocols in advance of the team's postseason opener next weekend.

The Eagles elevated Togiai from their practice squad Saturday.

Togiai was activated from the practice squad COVID-19 list Tuesday after he tested positive for the virus last week. He'll serve as depth at tight end Saturday against the Cowboys since Dallas Goedert (illness) and Jack Stoll (illness) are sidelined.

Washington has placed Seals-Jones (concussion) on injured reserve.

No surprise here, as Seals-Jones was already ruled out for Washington's regular-season finale. With the team not in the playoff picture, his 2021 campaign has officially come to an end. He will end the year with 30 receptions for 271 yards and two touchdowns. The 26-year-old is set to become an unrestricted free agent in the offseason.

Waller (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's contest against the Chargers, Rachel Gossen of the Raiders' official site reports.

Waller seemed to be closing in on a Week 17 return following his bout with a strained IT band, but he landed on the reserve/COVID-19 list instead due to a positive test for the virus last Wednesday. He cleared league protocols this Wednesday and logged three limited sessions after that, but his status remains up in the air this weekend. Interim coach Rich Basaccia said a decision on Waller will depend on "where his cardio is" and "the reps that he gets" in practice, seemingly giving him a chance to play for the first time since Thanksgiving Day at Dallas. When it comes to considering the tight end in lineups, though, the Raiders are playing in the last game in the Week 18 slate, with a kickoff of 8:20 p.m. ET on Sunday, making it difficult to pivot to another option if Waller misses a sixth consecutive outing.

Dissly (heel) is questionable for Sunday's game against Arizona, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Dissly was a non-participant at practice Wednesday and Thursday, but he'll have a chance to take the field in Week 18. If he's held out against the Cardinals, Colby Parkinson could see an uptick in playing time.

Hudson was waived by the 49ers on Friday, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Hudson appeared in just two games for the 49ers this season, notching 11 total snaps. In a corresponding move, the team activated Ambry Thomas off the reserve/COVID-19 list.

Akins (illness) is questionable for Sunday's game against Tennessee.

Akins was held off the practice field Thursday due to an illness, but he returned in a limited capacity Friday. Although he appears to be trending in the right direction ahead of Sunday's Week 18 contest, Antony Auclair could see a slight uptick in playing time if Akins is ruled out.

Uzomah (knee) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Browns, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.

Uzomah was held out of practice for a third consecutive day Friday as he continues to deal with a knee injury, but he has a chance to suit up in Sunday's regular-season finale. The Bengals have clinched a playoff spot and will likely rest some starters in Week 18, so Uzomah could be kept off the field if the team doesn't feel as though he's 100 percent healthy. If the 28-year-old is unavailable, Drew Sample and Mitchell Wilcox should see additional playing time.

Wright (groin) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Green Bay, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.

Wright was a limited practice participant throughout the week, after missing last week's game on the reserve/COVID-19 list. His return to the lineup would leave fewer snaps for Jared Pinkney and Ross Travis, neither of whom was targeted in last week's loss to Seattle. The 23-year-old Wright did play 75 percent of snaps in Week 15 and 73 percent in Week 16, but with only three catches for four yards on four targets between the two games. A solid outing Week 18 could help him stick around on the depth chart behind T.J. Hockenson (IR/hand) next year.
