Braden Fiske DT | LAR
Rams' Braden Fiske: Good to go against Atlanta
Fiske (ankle) is active for Monday night's game against the Falcons.
Fiske has been working through an ankle issue since mid-December. The injury has not caused him to miss games, and that trend will continue for Monday night's game against Atlanta. Fiske has failed to record a tackle in two of his last three games and is up to 28 tackles (10 solo), including 2.0 sacks, one pass defense and one fumble recovery through 15 regular-season contests.

Rams' Darious Williams: Healthy scratch Week 17
Williams (coach's decision) is inactive for Monday's game against the Falcons.
Williams has worked in a rotational role in the Rams' secondary this season, but he will be a healthy inactive for Monday night's game. Emmanuel Forbes, Cobie Durant and Ahkello Witherspoon will serve as the primary corners for the Rams.

Rams' Davante Adams: Inactive Monday, as expected
Adams (hamstring) is listed as inactive Monday at Atlanta.
The Rams will continue to keep Adams on the shelf due to his lingering left hamstring injury, seemingly with getting him healthy ahead of the playoffs in mind. He'll have one more chance to play in the regular season this coming Sunday against the Cardinals, but his odds to actually suit up in that contest are unknown at this time. With Adams sidelined for a second straight game Monday, Puka Nacua will continue to be the focal point of Los Angeles' passing attack, with WRs Konata Mumpfield, Xavier Smith, Jordan Whittington and Tutu Atwell also on hand for snaps and potential targets.

Drake London WR | ATL
Falcons' Drake London: Active in Week 17
London (knee) is listed as active Monday against the Rams, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.
London sat out Weeks 12-15 due to a sprained PCL in his left knee, and in his return to the lineup last Sunday at Arizona, he logged 53 of 77 offensive snaps (69 percent) en route to three catches (on eight targets) for 27 yards. Such a workload pales in comparison to his weekly snap shares of greater than 85 percent prior to the injury, but his target count in Week 16 was in line with his previous volume in the Falcons' passing game. Because London was listed as limited on all three Week 17 practice reports, he may not be ready for his previous workload, but he at least will be an available pass catcher for QB Kirk Cousins on Monday.

Daniel Ekuale DT | PIT
Steelers' Daniel Ekuale: Suspension lifted, still on IR
The NFL lifted Ekuale's (knee) five-game suspension Monday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Ekuale was suspended for five games by the NFL for violating the league's performance-enhancing drugs policy. He was placed on injured reserve in late October after tearing his ACL against the Packers in Week 8, and the seventh-year pro is aiming toward being fully healthy for the start of the 2026 campaign.

Ravens' Ben Cleveland: Suspension lifted by league
The NFL lifted Cleveland's three-game suspension Monday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Cleveland has served his three-game suspension for violating the league's Substances of Abuse Policy. The fifth-year pro will be available for Sunday's regular-season finale against the Steelers, when he'll serve in a rotational role on the Ravens' offensive line and as a contributor on special teams.

Derick Hall LB | SEA
Seahawks' Derick Hall: Suspension lifted
The NFL lifted Hall's one-game suspension Monday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Hall was handed a one-game suspension for unnecessary roughness and unsportsmanlike conduct during the Seahawks' overtime win over the Rams in Week 16, when he stepped on Kevin Dotson's leg. That prevented him from playing in Seattle's Week 17 win over Carolina, but now that the suspension has been lifted, Hall will be available for Saturday's regular-season finale against San Francisco, a game that will determine who enters the playoffs as the NFC's No. 1 seed.

Elijah Williams DE | MIN
Vikings' Elijah Williams: Placed on injured reserve
The Vikings placed Williams (ankle) on injured reserve Monday.
Williams sustained an ankle injury during the Vikings' win over the Lions on Christmas Day, and his placement on IR means he won't be available for Minnesota's regular-season finale against Green Bay on Sunday. Williams served in a deep rotational role on the Vikings' defensive line while also contributing on special teams, and the undrafted rookie will finish his first NFL regular season with nine tackles (six solo) across seven games.

Kurtis Rourke QB | SF
49ers' Kurtis Rourke: Officially out for 2025
Rourke (knee) will remain on the 49ers' reserve/non-football injury list for the rest of the 2025 season, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Rourke opened the 2025 regular season on the NFI list while recovering from a torn ACL that he sustained during his final collegiate season at Indiana. He was designated to return from the NFI in early December, but with his 21-day practice window closing, the rookie seventh-rounder will not be available for the rest of the 2025 campaign. Rourke will turn his attention toward being available for the start of the 2026 season, when he'll likely compete for the backup quarterback job behind Brock Purdy.

Marvin Harrison Jr. WR | ARI
Cardinals' Marvin Harrison: Could play Week 18
Cardinals head coach Jonathan Gannon said Monday that Harrison (heel) will suit up for Sunday's regular-season finale against the Rams "if he is healthy enough to play," Darren Urban of the team's official site reports.
Harrison has at least not yet been ruled out for Week 18, which is encouraging. He missed Weeks 14 and 15 due to a heel injury before he was cleared to suit up for each of Arizona's next two games. He then was forced off the field Week 17 versus Cincinnati due to an apparent aggravation of that issue. Gannon said Monday, however, that Harrison is dealing with a foot injury. It appears as though Harrison's availability for Week 18 will come down to the extent of his practice activity Wednesday through Friday.
