  • Tyler Higbee TE | LAR

    Rams' Tyler Higbee: Officially questionable for Week 18

    Higbee (ankle), who remains on IR, practiced in full Friday and is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's regular-season finale against the Cardinals, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.

    Higbee had his 21-day practice window opened Wednesday and has been a full participant since, but it's possible that Los Angeles will prioritize having the veteran tight end ready for the playoffs rather than Week 18 of the regular season. Whenever Higbee is activated to the 53-man roster, he will rejoin a tight end rotation in which he, Colby Parkinson, Terrance Ferguson and Davis Allen all stand to remain regular contributors.

  • Kyren Williams RB | LAR

    Rams' Kyren Williams: Questionable, should play

    Williams (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.

    Rams coach Sean McVay said Friday that he expects Williams to play, whereas fellow running back Blake Corum (ankle) appears truly questionable. McVay also said he'll use starters even if Sunday's game doesn't matter for playoff seeding, but that doesn't necessarily mean Williams would handle a full workload.

  • Davante Adams WR | LAR

    Rams' Davante Adams: Questionable for Sunday

    Adams (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.

    Rams coach Sean McVay said Friday that he'll play his starters even if the result of Saturday's Seahawks-49ers matchup renders the Rams' contest meaningless in terms of playoff seeding. Adams could be an exception, of course, but it's at least clear he's making progress. He returned to practice Thursday and managed back-to-back limited sessions to close out the week.

  • Saints' Spencer Rattler: Questionable for Sunday

    Rattler (finger) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Falcons, Jeff Nowak of WWL Radio reports.

    Rattler has been fulfilling his role as the Saints' backup quarterback since rookie Tyler Shough was named the starter for Week 9 and beyond. The backup has not practiced since Week 16 due to a thumb injury on his throwing hand, which has left the Saints with just Taysom Hill healthy as a depth option as they end the season. Rattler's inability to practice with the injury for consecutive weeks means Hill could potentially play a role at quarterback in Sunday's contest if Shough were to need to leave the game for any reason.

  • Patriots' Kayshon Boutte: Cleared for Week 18

    Boutte (concussion) doesn't carry an injury designation for Sunday's regular-season finale against the Dolphins.

    Boutte was limited Wednesday, but he worked fully Thursday and Friday and now has been cleared to return to action after being inactive Week 17. In 13 regular-season contests, Boutte has recorded a 31-527-6 line on 42 targets, a pace that keeps him on the fantasy radar in deeper formats. With Mack Hollins (abdomen) on IR, look for Boutte to step right back into a significant snap share Week 18 while working alongside fellow WRs Stefon Diggs, Kyle Williams, DeMario Douglas and Efton Chism.

  • Steelers' Calvin Austin: Ready for Sunday night

    Austin (hamstring) practiced in full Friday and does not carry an injury designation for Sunday night's regular-season finale against the Ravens, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

    Austin injured his hamstring Week 16 versus the Lions and subsequentially sat out Week 17, but he'll return to action to face Baltimore with the AFC North title on the line Sunday. With DK Metcalf (suspension) ruled out for one more game, Austin appears set to operate as the No. 1 wide receiver for veteran quarterback Aaron Rodgers, with a combination of Adam Thielen, Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Scotty Miller, Ben Skowronek, Roman Wilson and potentially also practice-squad member Brandon Johnson contributing behind him. At tight end, with Darnell Washington (forearm) having been placed on IR, Pat Freiermuth and Jonnu Smith are in position to split the majority of opportunities.

  • Demario Davis OLB | NO

    Saints' Demario Davis: Questionable with calf issue

    Davis (calf) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Falcons, Jeff Nowak of WWL Radio reports.

    Davis was a limited participant throughout the Week 18 practice sessions with a calf injury he likely sustained in last Sunday's win over the Titans. The inside linebacker has yet to miss a game this season, so stringing three consecutive practice sessions together is a strong sign he will be able to suit up for Sunday's season-finale. If the team decides it wants to be careful with Davis' injury, Danny Stutsman and Jaylan Ford would be set to receive an increased defensive workload for the Saints' linebacker corps.

  • Treylon Burks WR | WAS

    Commanders' Treylon Burks: Set to play Sunday

    Burks (illness) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's contest in Philadelphia, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.

    Burks showed up Thursday as a non-participant due to an illness, but his return to all activity one day later sets him up to be available to the Commanders offense this weekend. While working with No. 3 QB Josh Johnson last Thursday against the Cowboys, Burks played 91 percent of the snaps but was targeted just twice, hauling in one of them for 11 yards. Burks likely will have a similar role Sunday working alongside top WRs Terry McLaurin and Deebo Samuel and Johnson under center in place of Marcus Mariota (right hand/quadriceps).

  • Breece Hall RB | NYJ

    Jets' Breece Hall: Questionable for Sunday

    Hall (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's season finale against the Patriots after practicing in a limited fashion Friday.

    After logging a 'DNP' on Wednesday, Hall was limited both Thursday and Friday before being deemed questionable for Week 18 action. If the Jets' top running back is unavailable for Sunday's 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff, Kene Nwangwu and Khalil Herbert would be next up for the team's carries, with Isaiah Davis (concussion) ruled out for the contest.

  • Vikings' Gavin Bartholomew: Will not be activated

    Bartholomew (back) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Packers.

    Bartholomew spent the 2025 season on the reserve/PUP list and will officially not be available for Week 18. The sixth-round pick out of Pittsburgh will have to look towards the 2026 season for his first opportunity to play in an NFL game.
