  • Jaylen Waddle WR | MIA

    Dolphins' Jaylen Waddle: Questionable for Week 18

    Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel said Waddle (ribs) will be limited in practice Friday and listed as questionable for Sunday's season finale against the Patriots, Omar Kelly of the Miami Herald reports.

    Waddle missed practice Wednesday and since has logged back-to-back limited sessions, though it sounds like his status for Sunday's divisional matchup and season finale could come down to the wire. It appears Miami will consider holding out a number of key playmakers, per Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald, as Darren Waller (groin) will be placed on IR and De'Von Achane (shoulder) will sit out practice again Friday, though the standout running back hasn't yet been ruled out for Week 18. Waddle's status will be made official no later than 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff.

  • 49ers' Ricky Pearsall: Questionable for Saturday

    Pearsall (knee/ankle) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Seahawks.

    Pearsall maintained a limited listing Tuesday through Thursday due to an ankle sprain and an aggravation of his previous PCL injury. Despite the health concerns, he was able to handle an 81 percent snap share and haul in five of eight targets for 85 yards and no touchdowns this past Sunday against the Bears. Pearsall's status will be confirmed about 90 minutes before Saturday's 8:00 p.m. ET kickoff.

  • Xavier Smith WR | LAR

    Rams' Xavier Smith: Full Thursday

    Smith (chest) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.

    Smith led the Rams with 67 receiving yards on four catches in Monday night's loss to the Falcons. With Davante Adams (hamstring) expected to miss Week 18 against Arizona, Smith should again operate as the Rams' third receiver.

  • Drake London WR | ATL

    Falcons' Drake London: Limited again Thursday

    London (knee) was limited at Thursday's practice, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

    London also was limited at Wednesday's walkthrough, giving him just one more chance to get back to full before the Falcons potentially tag him with a designation for Sunday's game against the Saints. He missed Weeks 12-15 due to a PCL sprain and has been able to suit up for both of the last two contests, but his cumulative 4-31-0 line on 10 targets during that span falls well short of his performances from the first 11 outings of the season.

  • Packers' Savion Williams: Unable to practice

    Williams (foot/illness) did not participate at practice Thursday.

    Williams took a step backwards Thursday after opening the week as a limited participant Wednesday. The wide receiver was unavailable for the team's Week 17 loss to the Ravens, and he's now potentially trending towards another absence Sunday against the Vikings. Williams will have one more chance to practice Friday and ultimately suit up for the Packers' regular-season finale.

  • Packers' Dontayvion Wicks: DNP again Thursday

    Wicks (concussion) didn't practice Thursday.

    Wicks thus hasn't practiced in any capacity since he suffered a concussion this past Saturday versus the Ravens. Considering he appears to have multiple hurdles to surpass in order to gain clearance from the protocol for head injuries, he may be in danger of missing his third game of the season Sunday at Minnesota.

  • Pat Bryant WR | DEN

    Broncos' Pat Bryant: Logs full practice Thursday

    Bryant (concussion) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

    Bryant entered the league's concussion protocol after taking a huge hit during the fourth quarter of the Broncos' Week 16 loss to the Jaguars, which resulted in him being carted off the field and taken to a local hospital. He did not play against the Chiefs on Christmas Day, but his ability to practice in full indicates that he is progressing through the league's concussion protocol. The last step Bryant needs to take in order to be available for Sunday's regular-season finale against the Chargers is to be cleared from the league's protocol by an independent neurologist.

  • Jayden Reed WR | GB

    Packers' Jayden Reed: Limited with illness

    Reed (illness) was limited at practice Thursday.

    An illness has capped Reed's practice reps this week, leaving him just one more chance to mix into drills Friday before the Packers potentially tag him with a designation for Sunday's contest at Minnesota. Since he returned to action Week 14 following an IR stint, he's hauled in 16 of 17 targets for 162 yards and no touchdowns over the last four games.

  • Davante Adams WR | LAR

    Rams' Davante Adams: Limited Thursday

    Adams (hamstring) was limited in practice Thursday, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.

    This marks Adams' first on-field work since Week 15 prep as he continues his recovery from a hamstring injury. While his ability to practice is a notable sign in his recovery, he isn't expected to be available Sunday against the Cardinals, as coach Sean McVay told Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register on Wednesday. In the end, the Rams can make a ruling on his status for Week 18 on Friday's practice report.

  • Rashid Shaheed WR | SEA

    Seahawks' Rashid Shaheed: Ready for Week 18

    Shaheed (concussion) doesn't have a designation for Saturday's game in San Francisco, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

    Shaheed was forced out in the first quarter of this past Sunday's win at Carolina due to a concussion, but he's made quick work through the protocol for head injuries in the meantime, following up Tuesday's limited walkthrough with back-to-back full sessions. Now the he's confirmed to be available for Week 18, he'll look to build upon the 14-186-0 line on 25 targets that he's managed in eight contests since he joined the Seahawks at the trade deadline.
