  • Packers' Savion Williams: Unavailable for Week 18

    Williams (foot/illness) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Vikings, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

    Williams missed the final two practices of Week 18 prep due to a foot injury and an illness. The rookie third-rounder will end up missing the last two games of the regular season and will aim to be available for the wild-card round of the playoffs. If the Packers end up resting or limiting top wide receivers during Sunday's regular-season finale, then fellow rookie Matthew Golden and Bo Melton would be in line for more opportunities on offense, though they'll be catching passes from Clayton Tune rather than Jordan Love.

  • Packers' Lukas Van Ness: Available against Minnesota

    Van Ness (illness/foot) does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Vikings, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

    Van Ness managed to fade an injury tag for Week 18 despite being limited in practice all week by a foot injury and illness. However, the Packers are locked in as the NFC's seventh seed, so he could operate on a snap count or be held out of Sunday's regular-season finale entirely. If Van Ness's snaps are limited, then Arron Mosby, Brenton Cox and Barryn Sorrell would be in line for more snaps on defense.

  • Packers' Edgerrin Cooper: Good to go against Minnesota

    Cooper (shoulder) does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Vikings, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

    Cooper was limited in the first two practices of Week 18 prep due to a shoulder issue, but the second-year pro faded an injury designation for Sunday's regular-season finale after practicing in full Friday. Given that the Packers are locked in as the seventh seed in the NFC, Cooper and the rest of the starters could operate on a snap count as Green Bay prepares itself for the postseason.

  • Cowboys' DeMarvion Overshown: Ruled out with concussion

    Overshown (concussion) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Giants, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

    Overshown has been in the league's concussion protocol since Week 16, and his downgrade to did-not-participate in Friday's practice session has sealed his fate for the 2025 season. The linebacker will end the season with 12 missed games, three times more than he missed in his rookie season. With Logan Wilson set to start Sunday's game in his place, Overshown will finish a short 2025 campaign with 28 tackles (15 solo) through six games and just 218 defensive snaps.

  • Pat Bryant WR | DEN

    Broncos' Pat Bryant: Cleared to play Week 18

    Bryant (concussion) does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Chargers.

    The lack of an injury designation indicates that an independent neurologist has cleared Bryant from the league's concussion protocol. The rookie third-rounder will be available for Sunday's regular-season finale as the Broncos look to lock up the No. 1 seed in the AFC heading into the postseason. Bryant has logged six targets or more in three of his last four games, accumulating 17 catches (on 25 targets) for 198 yards over that span.

  • Chiefs' Jake Briningstool: Ruled out again

    Briningstool (hamstring) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Raiders.

    With Briningstool ruled out of Week 18 as well as the Chiefs being eliminated from playoff contention, the undrafted rookie out of Clemson will end the 2025 season without being able to make his NFL debut. The tight end will have to focus on recovering in the offseason so that he can compete for a spot on the Chiefs' 2026 roster.

  • Chiefs' Jerry Tillery: Questionable with personal issue

    Tillery (personal) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Raiders.

    Tillery was a fresh addition to Friday's injury report and did not participate in practice due to a personal issue he was attending to. It is unclear whether or not this issue will be resolved in time for Sunday's contest. If the 29-year-old's circumstances prevent him from suiting up, Mike Pennel and Zacch Pickens will likely see an increased number of rotational snaps at defensive tackle behind starters Chris Jones and Derrick Nnadi.

  • Blake Corum RB | LAR

    Rams' Blake Corum: Questionable after limited practice

    Corum (ankle) was a limited participant in practice Friday and is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's regular-season finale against Arizona, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.

    Corum was forced out of Monday's loss to Atlanta early due to a right ankle injury and was listed as a non-participant Wednesday and Thursday, so it's encouraging to see him back on the practice field Friday. Meanwhile, top RB Kyren Williams (ankle) also is listed as questionable after having logged a trio of limited sessions, though head coach Sean McVay said he's expected to play Week 18, per Grosbard. McVay already has stated that the Rams' starters will play Sunday regardless of whether the team has anything to play for in terms of playoff standing, but Corum's injury could be one that motivates the team to err on the side of caution.

  • Chiefs' George Karlaftis: Questionable yet healthy

    Karlaftis (rest) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Raiders.

    Karlaftis was a limited participant throughout Week 18, but his injury status is listed as non-injured rest. The defensive end signed a four-year, $93 million contract with the Chiefs in July. The team may just be looking to protect a valuable asset ahead of the 2026 season, as Kansas City missed the playoffs for the first time since the 2014 campaign. If Karlaftis is inactive for Sunday's game, he will end the season with 48 tackles (25 solo), including 6.0 sacks, and two passes defensed through 16 games.

  • Amani Hooker SAF | TEN

    Titans' Amani Hooker: Doubtful for Sunday

    Hooker (ankle) is listed as doubtful ahead of Sunday's game against the Jaguars.

    Hooker was unable to practice at all this week due to an ankle injury he likely sustained in last Sunday's loss to the Saints. The strong safety was able to play every snap in the contest, so there is a chance he can play through the injury in the hope of helping the Titans spoil the Jaguars' chance for the No. 2 seed in the AFC, and maybe the AFC South title as a whole. If the ankle injury proves to be too much and Hooker is inactive come game time, Jerrick Reed will likely get the start at strong safety.
