Franklin-Myers (hip) is inactive for Sunday's contest against the Chargers, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official website reports.

Franklin-Myers was limited at practice throughout the week while nursing a hip injury, and he'll now be forced to take a seat in the team's regular-season finale. In his absence, Malcolm Roach is a top candidate to garner a start on the defensive line versus Los Angeles.

Karty (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Rams.

Karty was signed to the Cardinals' active roster from the Rams' practice squad Dec. 23, but the second-year kicker is a healthy scratch for the final two games of the regular season. Chad Ryland will serve as Arizona's kicker for Sunday's regular-season finale.

Sweat (ankle) is active for Sunday's contest against the Rams.

Sweat was considered questionable to play after missing the team's first two practices of the week before logging a limited session Friday due to ankle and knee injuries, but he's now going to give it a go in Week 18. The defensive end has produced 28 total tackles (19 solo), including 11.0 sacks, while also adding four forced fumbles, a fumble recovery and two passes defensed over 16 contests so far in his first campaign with Arizona.

Robinson (concussion) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Patriots.

Robinson will remain in the league's concussion protocol for Sunday's regular-season finale, and the second-year pro will end the 2025 campaign with 21 tackles (10 solo), including 4.0 sacks, one pass defense and one forced fumble across 15 games. Derrick McLendon is poised to see more snaps at defensive end opposite Bradley Chubb in Robinson's absence.

Robinson (concussion) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Patriots.

Robinson will miss his second game of the season in Week 18, this time due to a concussion he suffered in Week 17 versus the Buccaneers. In his absence, Derrick McLendon could be a candidate for snaps on the edge opposite Bradley Chubb.

Melton (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's contest against the Rams.

Melton was a full participant at practice throughout the week as he continues to nurse a heel injury, but he'll now ultimately take a seat in Week 18. In his absence, Jaden Davis is a top candidate to see an increase in workload at cornerback versus Los Angeles.

Hill (shoulder) is questionable to return to Sunday's matchup against Atlanta.

Hill exited in the third quarter of the Saints' season finale. Per the broadcast, he took off his pads and headed to the locker room after getting hurt. The veteran tight end recorded three catches on three targets for 32 yards prior to his departure. Moliki Matavao will likely work as New Orleans' No. 2 tight end behind Juwan Johnson for as long as Hill remains out.

Rousseau (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Jets.

The Bills will rest Rousseau and other key defenders for Sunday's regular-season finale, so the fifth-year pro will end the 2025 campaign with 46 tackles (24 solo), including 7.0 sacks, two pass defenses and one forced fumble across 16 games. With Rousseau, Joey Bosa (hamstring) and DaQuan Jones (calf) all inactive, more snaps on the Bills' defensive line will be available for the likes of Javon Solomon, Jordan Phillips, Larry Ogunjobi, A.J. Epenesa and Matthew Judon.

Hartman (coach's decision) is inactive but serving as the Commanders' emergency third quarterback Sunday versus the Eagles.

Hartman will once again operate as the team's No. 3 option at QB, a role he's become rather accustomed to this season. Josh Johnson will serve as the starting quarterback while Jeff Driskel gets the nod at backup against Philadelphia.

Westover (ankle) is active for Sunday's contest against the Dolphins.

Westover was dealing with an ankle injury at practice throughout the week, but he'll now ultimately be able to give it a go in Week 18. The fullback hasn't logged a single carry this season, but his value is evident as a blocker in the team's rushing attack.
