Overshown (concussion) was estimated as a non-participant on Monday's practice report, Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.

The Chargers face the Texans on Saturday and will be required to release an official practice report Tuesday. Dupree missed Sunday's win over the Cowboys, but it sounds like he could return after just the one-game absence.

Coach Jim Harbaugh said Monday that St-Juste (shoulder) is considered day-to-day, Eric Smith of the Chargers' official site reports.
Both St-Juste and Donte Jackson (groin) were injured in Sunday's win over the Cowboys, but both appear to have avoided major injuries. Deane Leonard and Nikko Reed would be in line for elevated snaps if neither St-Juste nor Jackson can play Saturday against the Texans.

Lions' Al-Quadin Muhammad: Limited to open week
Muhammad (abdomen) was a limited participant in Monday's walkthrough practice.
Muhammad was one of nine Lions players to be limited in the first session of Week 17 prep. He may have sustained an abdominal injury during Sunday's loss to Pittsburgh, when he played 30 of 74 defensive snaps (40.5 percent) without showing up on the box score otherwise. The veteran defensive end will need to log a full practice over the next two days in order to avoid an injury designation for Thursday's Christmas Day tilt against the Vikings.

Alim McNeill DT | DET
Lions' Alim McNeill: Working through abdominal injury
McNeill (abdomen) was a limited participant in Monday's walkthrough practice.
McNeill played 56 of 74 defensive snaps (76.7 percent) and logged two tackles (one solo) during the Lions' 29-24 loss to the Steelers on Sunday. He appears to have come out of that game with an injury, though his ability to practice in a limited capacity Monday indicates that the issue isn't considered serious. McNeill will have two more chances to increase his practice participation heading into the Lions' Christmas Day tilt against the Vikings on Thursday.

Lions' Tom Kennedy: Nursing abdominal injury
Kennedy (abdomen) was listed as a limited participant on Monday's estimated practice report.
Kennedy was limited in Monday's walkthrough session due to an abdominal injury that he may have sustained during Sunday's loss to the Steelers, when he turned three kickoff returns into 77 yards. The limited tag indicates the injury isn't considered severe, and he would be on track to play against the Vikings on Christmas day were he to log a full practice over the next two days.

His practice participation over the next two days will shed light on whether he'll be available for Detroit's Christmas Day clash against Minnesota.

Eddie Goldman NT | WAS
Commanders' Eddie Goldman: Placed on injured reserve
The Commanders placed Goldman (concussion) on injured reserve Monday.
Goldman entered the league's concussion protocol following the Commanders' Week 15 loss to the Giants. That marked the second time he was diagnosed with a concussion this season, and his placement on injured reserve means he will not be available for the Commanders' final two games of the regular season. The veteran defensive tackle will end the 2025 regular season with 26 tackles (10 solo) across 13 games, and he will enter the offseason as a free agent.
