  • Patriots' Milton Williams: Activated from IR

    The Patriots activated Williams (ankle) from injured reserve Saturday ahead of Sunday's game against the Dolphins.

    Williams was able to log a full practice Friday and holds no injury designation ahead of Sunday's divisional tilt. The defensive end is all set to suit up for his first game since Week 11. Due to the 26-year-old's return, Cory Durden will likely see a reduction in defensive snaps for the remainder of the season.

  • Jaguars' Patrick Herbert: Elevated for Week 18

    The Jaguars elevated Herbert from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday ahead of Sunday's game against the Titans.

    Herbert's first elevation of the 2025 campaign will be for the Jaguars' Week 18 divisional matchup. The tight end is set to suit up as a reserve option, and if he sees any snaps, they will likely be on special teams as a blocker.

  • Panthers' Bobby Brown: Ruled out with concussion

    Brown (concussion) has been ruled out for the remainder of Saturday's game against the Buccaneers, Sheena Quick of Fox Sports Radio 1340 reports.

    Brown exited the game in the second quarter after suffering a head injury, which has been confirmed to be a concussion. The defensive end will now enter the league's five-step concussion protocol. If the Panthers can secure a playoff birth by the end of Week 18, Brown will need to upgrade his practice participation and clear the league's protocol in the hope of playing in the team's wild-card matchup.

  • Ruke Orhorhoro DT | ATL

    Falcons' Ruke Orhorhoro: Questionable for Sunday

    Orhorhoro (illness) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Saints, Terrin Waack of the Falcons' official site reports.

    Orhorhoro may have been struck by the same issue as cornerback A.J. Terrell (illness). If the starting nose tackle is unable to suit up for Sunday's divisional clash, Kentavius Street is in line for a significant increase in defensive snaps. Elijah Garcia may also see an increased snap share as a rotational defensive lineman due to Orhorhoro's potential absence.

  • A.J. Terrell CB | ATL

    Falcons' A.J. Terrell: Questionable with illness

    Terrell (illness) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Saints, Terrin Waack of the Falcons' official site reports.

    Terrell was a new addition to Saturday's injury report with a sudden illness. If the cornerback is unable to overcome the issue in time for Sunday's divisional clash, he will likely be inactive for the game. If Terrell is unable to play, Natrone Brooks would be set to start at outside cornerback opposite Cobee Bryant.

  • Nikola Kalinic TE | CHI

    Bears' Nikola Kalinic: Elevated for Sunday

    The Bears elevated Kalinic from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday ahead of Sunday's game against the Lions.

    Kalinic was last elevated for the Bears' Week 12 game against the Steelers, where he logged 59 percent of special-teams snaps in the victory. The tight end is set to fill a similar role in Sunday's divisional contest, likely being used as a supplemental blocker behind starting tight ends Colston Loveland, Cole Kmet and Durham Smythe.

  • Panthers' Bobby Brown: Possible concussion

    Brown is being evaluated for a possible concussion and is questionable to return to Saturday's game against the Buccaneers, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

    Brown exited the game in the second quarter after suffering a potential head injury. The defensive end will be evaluated by the NFL's independent neurological specialists, and if he is deemed to have suffered a concussion will enter the league's concussion protocol and be ruled out for the remainder of Saturday's game. LaBryan Ray will likely see more snaps on the Panthers' defensive line in Brown's absence.

  • Keith Kirkwood WR | BAL

    Ravens' Keith Kirkwood: Elevated for SNF

    The Ravens elevated Kirkwood from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday ahead of Sunday night's game against the Steelers.

    Kirkwood will draw his first elevation of the 2025 season in Week 18. With Rashod Bateman (illness) ruled out for Sunday's divisional clash, Kirkwood will likely sit on the active roster as a depth wide receiver. The majority of the snaps at receiver will likely go to Zay Flowers, DeAndre Hopkins, Devontez Walker, Tylan Wallace and LaJohntay Wester, with Kirkwood unlikely to see much action unless one of the aforementioned players succumbs to injury.

  • DJ Uiagalelei QB | LAC

    Chargers' DJ Uiagalelei: Backup for Week 18

    The Chargers elevated Uiagalelei from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday ahead of Sunday's game against the Broncos.

    With Justin Herbert (left hand/rest) set to sit for Week 18, Uiagalelei will get his first elevation of the season to back up starting quarterback Trey Lance. If Lance must exit the contest for any reason, Uiagalelei will see his first NFL regular-season reps in Sunday's game.

  • Anthony Walker MLB | TB

    Buccaneers' Anthony Walker: Ruled out for Saturday

    Walker (ankle) has been ruled out for the remainder of Saturday's game against the Panthers.

    Walker tweaked his ankle on the game's first snap and will be unable to return to the contest. Deion Jones will likely help fill the special-teams snaps that Walker was set to play in Week 18.
