Kolar (nose) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.

Kolar may have picked up the injury during the Ravens' Week 17 win over the Packers, when he played 57 snaps (37 on offense, 20 on special teams) while failing to haul in his lone target from Tyler Huntley late in the third quarter. Kolar will have two more chances to log a full practice ahead of Sunday's regular-season finale against the Steelers.

Love (left shoulder/concussion) was a full practice participant Wednesday, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

This marks Love's first uncapped session since he sustained a concussion Week 16 at Chicago, but coach Matt LaFleur told Matt Schneidman of The Athletic earlier Wednesday that Love still was in the concussion protocol, while also saying some starters won't suit up Sunday in Minnesota. Although No. 2 QB Malik Willis (right shoulder/hamstring) was limited Wednesday, he wasn't among the signal-callers (Love and practice-squad members Clayton Tune and Desmond Ridder) spotted throwing, according to Demovsky. The Packers are locked into the No. 7 seed on the NFC side of the playoffs, so they don't have much incentive to put Love or even Willis in harm's way, but it remains anyone guess who among that duo or Tune will be under center for Green Bay this weekend.

Williams (ankle) is listed as limited on Wednesday's practice estimate, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.

The Rams held a walk-through just two days after losing to Atlanta on Monday Night Football. RB Blake Corum left the game early with an ankle injury and never returned, though he did hang around on the sideline with a helmet, perhaps still available in an emergency capacity. Williams also looked to get banged up at one point, but only briefly, re-entering the game and handling a vast majority of snaps after halftime. The Rams seemingly are expected to use starters Week 18 against Arizona, but there'd still be some risk of Ronnie Rivers taking over the backfield as the game progresses.

Kamara (knee/ankle) did not participate in Wednesday's practice, Ross Jackson of WWL Louisiana reports.

Kamara has missed five straight games due to a sprained MCL suffered Week 12 versus Atlanta, giving him only two more chances to practice before Sunday's regular-season finale rematch against the Falcons. Of course, with New Orleans already definitively eliminated from playoff contention, there's little incentive in pushing the 30-year-old veteran back on the field if he's anything less than 100 percent healthy. Audric Estime impressed as the leader of the Saints' backfield against the Titans in Week 17, rushing 14 times for 94 yards and one score.

Robinson (concussion) did not participate in Wednesday's practice, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Robinson entered the league's concussion protocol during the Dolphins' Week 17 win over the Buccaneers. Even if he were to return to practice over the next two days, he would need clearance from an independent neurologist to exit concussion protocol and be available for Sunday's regular-season finale against the Patriots. If Robinson is unable to play, then rookies Zeek Biggers and Kenneth Grant would be in line for larger roles on the Dolphins' defensive line.

Davis (calf/eye) didn't practice Wednesday, while fellow Cowboys running back Javonte Williams (shoulder) isn't listed on the Week 18 injury report.

Davis took 20 carries for 103 yards in last Thursday's win over Washington, taking over as the lead back after Williams left with a shoulder injury (for the second straight week). Cowboys coach Brian Schottenheimer said Davis would be a limited participant Wednesday due to an eye injury suffered toward the end of the Week 17 win, but it turns out Davis didn't practice at all. Williams, on the other hand, is off the injury report and thus likely to play, though it's possible his workload is scaled back with free agency on the horizon and Dallas eliminated from playoff contention.

Hobbs (knee) landed on injured reserve Wednesday.

This was the expected outcome after Hobbs suffered a knee injury this past Saturday against Baltimore. Though he could technically return if Green Bay reaches the Super Bowl, it's not clear if there's a chance he'll be recovered in time even if the Packers were to win three playoff games. Hobbs will finish his first campaign in Green Bay with 27 tackles and two defensed passes along with 45 kick-return yards over 11 regular-season games. Green Bay claimed Trevon Diggs off waivers Wednesday, and Diggs could eventually help fill the void left by Hobbs' absence.

The Packers signed Tune to the active roster from the practice squad Wednesday.

Packers head coach Matt LaFleur has already announced that the team will rest some starters during Sunday's regular-season finale against the Vikings, per Zach Kruse of USA Today. With Jordan Love (concussion) and Malik Willis (shoulder) both less than 100 percent healthy, that could pave the way for Tune to start Sunday. Green Bay also inked veteran quarterback Desmond Ridder to the practice squad Wednesday.

Fitzpatrick (calf) did not participate in Wednesday's practice, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Fitzpatrick has been sidelined for each of the Dolphins' last two games due to a calf injury he sustained against the Steelers in Week 15. He hasn't been able to practice since the injury, and he would likely have to log at least a limited session over the next two days to have a realistic chance of playing against the Patriots in Sunday's regular-season finale.

Henry (knee) didn't practice Wednesday.

Henry now has two more chances to practice before the Patriots assign injury designations ahead of Sunday's regular-season finale against the Dolphins. Per Ali Bhanpuri of NFL.com, New England approaches Week 18 action as the No. 2 playoff seed in the AFC, with both a chance to move up to the No. 1 seed (currently held by Denver) or drop as low as the No. 3 slot. In that context, the team has incentive to play its starters so long as the the results/flow of Sunday's games dictate that's it's worthwhile to do so.
