  • Chop Robinson LB | MIA

    Dolphins' Chop Robinson: Won't play at New England

    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.

  • Max Melton CB | ARI

    Cardinals' Max Melton: No go for Week 18

    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.

  • Taysom Hill TE | NO

    Saints' Taysom Hill: Departs Week 18 with shoulder issue

    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.

  • Greg Rousseau DE | BUF

    Bills' Greg Rousseau: Won't play vs. NYJ

    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.

  • Sam Hartman QB | WAS

    Commanders' Sam Hartman: Emergency QB versus Philadelphia

    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.

  • Patriots' Jack Westover: All set for Week 18

    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.

  • Jordyn Brooks LB | MIA

    Dolphins' Jordyn Brooks: Good to go vs. New England

    Brooks (hamstring) is active for Sunday's game against the Patriots.

    Brooks earned the questionable tag for Week 18 after logging a limited practice Friday. The sixth-year pro has been cleared to play Sunday after going through pregame warmups, and at 174 combined tackles through 16 regular-season games, Brooks will have an opportunity to secure the title as the NFL's leading tackler for 2025.

  • Chiefs' Isiah Pacheco: Not playing in Week 18

    Pacheco (rest) is inactive for Sunday's Week 18 matchup against the Raiders, Matt McMullen of the team's official site reports.

    Pacheco turned in a trio of limited practices during Week 18 prep before heading into the weekend with a questionable tag, and the fourth-year pro's inactive status is now official. Pacheco's absence Sunday will leave the Chiefs' ground attack in the hands of Kareem Hunt, Brashard Smith and Dameon Pierce, with the latter garnering active status for the first time during his short tenure in Kansas City.

  • Jaylen Waddle WR | MIA

    Dolphins' Jaylen Waddle: Not playing in season finale

    Waddle (ribs) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Patriots.

    Waddle had been listed as questionable for the season finale after he managed just two limited practices this week while tending to the injury to his ribs, and with little at stake in Sunday's contest, the Dolphins will err on the side of caution and hold the receiver out. He'll conclude his fifth NFL season with a 64-910-6 receiving line on 100 targets to go along with 28 rushing yards over 16 games. Miami will have Malik Washington, Cedrick Wilson, Theo Wease, Tahj Washington and Nick Westbrook-Ikhine as its available options at receiver for Week 18.

  • Deone Walker DT | BUF

    Bills' Deone Walker: Cleared to play Week 18

    Walker (illness) is active for Sunday's game against the Jets.

    Walker popped up on Saturday's injury report due to an illness, but the rookie fourth-rounder has been cleared to play in Sunday's regular-season finale. Even if the Bills opt to rest their starters, Walker could still take on a larger role on the defensive line in the absence of DaQuan Jones (calf).
