Raheem Mostert RB | LV
Raiders' Raheem Mostert: Won't play Week 18
Mostert (knee) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Chiefs.
Mostert drew the questionable tag for Sunday's game after an FP/DNP/LP practice log during Week 18 prep. However, the veteran running back has not been cleared to play in Sunday's regular-season finale, so Zamir White and Dylan Laube are in line for more backfield snaps behind Ashton Jeanty. Mostert appeared in 12 games for the Raiders this season and will end the 2025 campaign with 22 carries for 104 yards along with 12 catches (on as many targets) for 70 yards.

Tommy DeVito QB | NE
Patriots' Tommy DeVito: Serving as emergency QB on Sunday
DeVito (coach's decision) is inactive but will serve as New England's emergency third quarterback versus the Dolphins on Sunday.
As he has all season, DeVito will spend Sunday's game on the sideline unless both starter Drake Maye and backup Joshua Dobbs become unavailable. It looks like DeVito will finish the 2025 regular season without taking a snap.

Rome Odunze WR | CHI
Bears' Rome Odunze: Inactive for Week 18
Odunze (foot) is inactive for Sunday's Week 18 game against the Lions.
Odunze will thus close out the regular season with five consecutive absences due to his lingering foot injury. The second-year wideout was able to return to practice -- albeit on a limited basis -- Friday, but the Bears will continue to err on the side of caution in the hopes of having Odunze as healthy as possible for the postseason. Odunze will turn his attention toward upping his activity level in practice during the coming week ahead of the start of the playoffs next weekend, while DJ Moore and Luther Burden should serve as Caleb Williams' top two wide receivers versus Detroit.

Benjamin St-Juste CB | LAC
Chargers' Benjamin St-Juste: Good to go for Week 18
St-Juste (shoulder) is active for Sunday's matchup with the Broncos.
St-Juste will make his return to action after missing the team's Week 17 loss to the Texans due to a shoulder injury. The 28-year-old will be back in his primary reserve role behind Donte Jackson and Cam Hart at cornerback against Denver.

Dalton Kincaid TE | BUF
Bills' Dalton Kincaid: Active for Sunday's game
Kincaid (knee) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Jets.
Kincaid, who was inactive for the Bills' Week 17 loss to the Eagles, was limited at practice this week before being listed as questionable for the contest. Though Kincaid is in uniform versus the Jets, it remains to be seen how may snaps he'll see in the Bills' regular-season finale, with the team potentially managing the workload of some of its key players ahead of the postseason.

Kyren Williams RB | LAR
Rams' Kyren Williams: Active Sunday along with Corum
Williams (ankle) is active for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.
Both Williams and fellow RB Blake Corum emerged from a Week 17 loss in Atlanta with ankle injuries. Williams maintained limited listings on all three Week 18 practice reports, while Corum was a non-participant Wednesday and Thursday before logging a capped session Friday. Both players entered the weekend as questionable, and now both have been deemed to be available Sunday. Williams may yield some backfield reps to Corum and fellow backup Ronnie Rivers, but the veteran still should produce after averaging 17.5 touches per game in the regular season.

Justin Herbert QB | LAC
Chargers' Justin Herbert: Officially inactive for Week 18
Herbert (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game in Denver.
Head coach Jim Harbaugh announced earlier in the week that Herbert was slated to sit out the regular-season finale, so the quarterback's inactive status is merely a formality. With Herbert resting in advance of the wild-card round of the playoffs, the Chargers will turn to Trey Lance to make his first start of the season under center. The Chargers elevated DJ Uiagalelei from the practice squad to serve as Lance's backup in Week 18.

Davante Adams WR | LAR
Rams' Davante Adams: Inactive in Week 18, as expected
Adams (hamstring) is listed as inactive Sunday against the Cardinals, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.
Coach Sean McVay asserted during Week 18 prep that the Rams expected to play their healthy starters, per Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com, but Adams isn't among those names for the team's regular-season finale as he tends to a lingering hamstring injury. However, Adams was listed as limited both Thursday and Friday, displaying some progress ahead of the playoffs. He'll aim to put an end to a three-game absence in the wild-card round.

Jawhar Jordan RB | HOU
Texans' Jawhar Jordan: Won't return Sunday
Jordan (ankle) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Colts.
Jordan injured his ankle during the first half of Sunday's game. The injury has been deemed severe enough for the second-year pro to not return and could impact his availability for the wild-card round of the AFC playoffs. Dare Ogunbowale and British Brooks are poised to see more snaps out of the backfield behind Woody Marks in Jordan's absence.
