Cross (hamstring) did not participate in Tuesday's walkthrough practice, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.

Cross has been absent from the first two walkthroughs of Week 16 prep due to a hamstring injury he sustained late in the fourth quarter of Sunday's 18-16 win over the Colts. He would have to practice Wednesday in at least a limited capacity in order to have a realistic chance of playing in Thursday's NFC West tilt against the Rams. Mason Richman and Josh Jones would be the top two candidates to start at left tackle if Cross is unable to play.

McCollough (illness) was estimated as a full participant in Tuesday's practice walkthrough, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

McCollough fell ill Saturday and was added to the Rams' injury report as questionable for Sunday's matchup against Detroit. He ended up being able to play in that victory, logging a 65 percent defensive snap share. McCollough was then deemed a non-participant for Monday's walkthrough, but, after being estimated as a full participant one day later, he appears good to go for Thursday's matchup in Seattle.

Lawrence (quadriceps) was a full participant in Seattle's walkthrough Tuesday, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.

Lawrence was limited during Monday's walkthrough but is seemingly on track to play in Thursday's matchup versus the Rams. The 33-year-old should continue to serve as one of the Seahawks' starting linebackers against Los Angeles.

Whittington (back) was deemed a full participant in Tuesday's practice walkthrough, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Whittington was estimated as limited in Monday's walkthrough, but his back injury doesn't appear to be serious. Notably, starting wideout Davante Adams (knee/hamstring) has been deemed a non-participant in both walkthroughs this week, and he's very much in danger of missing Thursday's matchup against Seattle. If Adams does sit out that contest, Whittington -- along with Konata Mumpfield, Tutu Atwell and Xavier Smith -- would be a candidate for increased offensive snaps.

Jones tallied 10 tackles (eight solo), notched five yards on two punt returns and recovered his own fumble Sunday in a loss to the Bills.

Jones' tackle total was second-highest on New England in the tough defeat. The fourth-year defensive back's fumble recovery came after he muffed a punt in the first quarter, so he at least avoided what could have been a disastrous mistake. Jones continues to play a key role both on defense and special teams for the Patriots.

Cooper logged eight tackles (seven solo), including two tackles for a loss, one pass defense and one fumble recovery during the Packers' 34-26 loss to the Broncos on Sunday.

Cooper jumped on an RJ Harvey (ribs) fumble caused by Micah Parsons (knee) early in the first quarter, and the Packers' offense capitalized on the turnover by converting it into a 53-yard field goal from Brandon McManus eight plays later. Cooper has tallied at least eight tackles in each of his last three games, and the 2024 second-rounder is up to 105 combined tackles through 14 regular-season games. It's the first time in his young career that he's reached the tackling century mark, and he'll look to add to his total in Saturday's road tilt against the Bears, a game that carries major playoff implications.

Hawkins totaled 11 tackles (four solo) and a defensed pass in Sunday's Week 15 loss to Buffalo.

Hawkins led New England in tackles in the losing effort. In doing so, he set a season-high mark and reached double digits in stops for the first time this year. Hawkins is up to 62 tackles, including 1.5 sacks, along with four defensed passes (including two interceptions) through 12 games in his second campaign with the Patriots.

Walker logged nine tackles (three solo), including one for a loss, during the Packers' 34-26 loss to the Broncos on Sunday.

Walker played 64 of 68 defensive snaps (94.1 percent) and finished as the game's leading tackler. His efforts Sunday brought him over the tackling century mark for a fourth consecutive year, and his 102 combined stops through 12 regular-season games matches his total from the 2024 campaign (across 13 regular-season contests). The 2022 first-rounder has three more opportunities to crack his career-high mark from his rookie campaign (121 tackles across 17 regular-season games), starting this Saturday against the Bears.

Gibbens logged nine tackles (four solo), including 1.0 sacks, Sunday in a loss to the Bills.

Gibbens finished third on the Patriots in tackles in the loss. Among his stops was a first-quarter takedown of Josh Allen on third down, resulting in a Buffalo punt. The sack was the first of the season for Gibbens, who has recorded 61 tackles and two defensed passes through 14 contests.

To'oTo'o logged 10 tackles (four solo), including one tackle for a loss, during the Texans' 40-20 win over the Cardinals on Sunday.

To'oTo'o reached double-digit stops for the second time this season Sunday, and he finished second on the team in tackles behind Azeez Al-Shaair (12). To'oTo'o is up to 77 combined tackles through 14 regular-season games, so he has three more games to reach the tackling century mark for a second-straight year, starting with this Sunday's home tilt against the Raiders.
