Dallas Goedert TE | PHI
Eagles' Dallas Goedert: Limited practice Wednesday
Goedert (knee) was limited in practice Wednesday.
Goedert didn't take part in Week 18 prep due to a knee injury and was sidelined for this past Sunday's loss to the Commanders. Now that he's back on the practice field, he at least has made some progress in his recovery, and he'll have two more chances to log a full practice this week before the Eagles potentially tag him with a designation ahead of Sunday's wild-card game against the 49ers.

Jalen McLeod LB | JAC
Jaguars' Jalen McLeod: Will remain on IR
McLeod's (ankle) practice window has expired, so he will remain on injured reserve through the end of the season.
McLeod was designated to return from IR in mid December, with the Jaguars hoping to acquire more linebacker depth in time for a potential deep playoff run. The team seems to have decided McLeod is not ready to return, and the sixth-round rookie will need to look towards the 2026 season for a potential NFL debut. The Jaguars will enter Sunday's wild-card clash with the Bills with Foyesade Oluokun, Dennis Gardeck, Branson Combs and Yasir Abdullah set to play at outside linebacker.

John Williams OG | GB
Packers' John Williams: Will remain on PUP
Williams' (back) practice window has expired, so he will remain on the reserve/PUP list for the remainder of the season.
The Packers decided that Williams was not ready to go, so the rookie seventh-rounder will have to wait until the 2026 season for his potential NFL debut. The Packers' offensive guard group heading into the Sunday wild-card matchup with the Bears will consist of Anthony Belton, Aaron Banks, Lecitus Smith, Jordan Morgan and Darian Kinnard.

Harrison Phillips DT | NYJ
Jets' Harrison Phillips: Notches 60 tackles in healthy 2025
Phillips recorded 60 tackles (22 solo), including 0.5 sacks, and two passes defensed across 17 appearances in 2025.
After coming over in a trade from Minnesota shortly before the start of the regular season, Phillips proceeded to play in all 17 regular-season games for the fourth consecutive campaign and reached the 60-tackle mark for only the second time in his eight-year NFL career. His cap hit will climb from $4.2 million in 2025 to $7.5 million in 2026, but given Phillips' solid on-field production and off-field leadership coupled with the Jets' lack of depth on the interior of the defensive line, the Jets will likely be willing to eat that increase for his age-30 season.

Zach Tom OG | GB
Packers' Zach Tom: Limited in practice Wednesday
Tom (back) was limited in practice Wednesday.
Tom continued to show progression in his back injury on Wednesday, after being estimated as a limited participant in Tuesday's walkthrough. With back-to-back limited practices, the 26-year-old could be on track to play for the first time since Week 15 against the Broncos. The fourth-year pro's return could add a major boost to the offensive line as Green Bay prepares to play Chicago for the third time this season.

Malachi Moore SAF | NYJ
Jets' Malachi Moore: Tops 100 tackles as rookie
Moore registered 101 tackles (56 solo), three passes defensed and a forced fumble across 17 appearances in 2025.
Moore was one of the few bright spots for the Jets in a forgettable season. The rookie fourth-round pick out of Alabama finished second on the team in tackles behind Jamien Sherwood's 154, and Moore forced one of the Jets' league-low four takeaways. The Jets have plenty of holes to fill heading into 2026, but they seem to have found a starting safety in Moore.

Javon Bullard SAF | GB
Packers' Javon Bullard: Limited once again
Bullard (knee) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.
Bullard matched the practice participation of Tuesday's walkthrough, staying limited due to a knee injury he sustained in the Packers' Week 18 loss to the Vikings. The starting slot cornerback will have one more opportunity to upgrade his participation level and potentially dodge an injury designation ahead of Saturday night's wild-card clash with the Bears.
-
Edgerrin Cooper LB | GB
Packers' Edgerrin Cooper: Full participant Wednesday
Cooper (shoulder) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.
Cooper was limited in Tuesday's walkthrough due to the shoulder injury he sustained in the Week 17 loss to the Ravens, but the linebacker was able to upgrade to a full participant in Wednesday's session. The 24-year-old should be all set to suit up for Saturday night's wild-card showdown with the Bears as the starting weakside linebacker.

Jermaine Johnson II DE | NYJ
Jets' Jermaine Johnson: Down year in return from Achilles'
Johnson recorded 43 tackles (22 solo), including 3.0 sacks, and two passes defensed across 14 appearances in 2025.
Johnson wasn't quite the same player in his return from a Sept. 2024 right Achilles' tendon tear. The 2022 first-round draft pick had 7.5 sacks and seven passes defensed in his Pro Bowl 2023 season prior to the injury. Perhaps being another year removed from the injury will help Johnson bounce back in 2026, when he will play on the fifth-year option of his rookie contract, which the Jets exercised this past April. Johnson remains locked in as a starting edge rusher for the Jets.

Quincy Williams LB | NYJ
Jets' Quincy Williams: Dips to 83 tackles in 2025
Williams (hand) recorded 83 tackles (45 solo), including 3.5 sacks, and seven passes defensed across 13 appearances in 2025.
Williams fell short of 100 tackles for the first time in five seasons with the Jets as injuries and age took their toll on the 29-year-old linebacker. He dealt with shoulder and hand injuries throughout the season and exited the regular-season finale as the latter injury flared up on him. The Jets traded away Quincy's brother Quinnen Williams during the 2025 season and are unlikely to retain the remaining Williams brother in free agency.
