  • DaQuan Jones DT | BUF

    Bills' DaQuan Jones: Won't face Jets

    Jones (calf) is ruled out for Sunday's regular-season finale against New York, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports.

    Jones will conclude the regular season with back-to-back absences as Buffalo prioritizes his recovery for the wild-card round of the AFC side of the playoffs. Rookie second-rounder T.J. Sanders will handle a starting role at defensive tackle for as long as Jones remains sidelined.

  • David Njoku TE | CLE

    Browns' David Njoku: Officially ruled out for finale

    Njoku (knee/personal) has been ruled out for Sunday's season finale against the Bengals, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.

    Njoku being ruled out for Week 18 is no surprise, given that the last time he practiced or played was Week 14. He wraps the 2025 campaign with 12 regular-season appearances, in which span he secured 33 of 48 targets for 293 yards and four touchdowns, as his production dipped due to the emergence of rookie tight end Harold Fannin (groin), who also is ruled out for Sunday's game. That leaves Blake Whiteheart, Brenden Bates and practice-squad player Sal Cannella in position to man the Browns' tight end corps versus Cincinnati. Njoku is set to become an unrestricted free agent this offseason, assuming the Browns allow his contract to void Feb. 10.

  • Jordan Poyer FS | BUF

    Bills' Jordan Poyer: Ruled out for Week 18

    Bills head coach Sean McDermott said Friday that Poyer (hamstring) is ruled out for Sunday's regular-season finale against the Jets, Maddy Glab of the team's official site reports.

    Poyer will miss a second consecutive contest to close out the regular season. Buffalo will hope to have the starting safety back on the field in time for the wild-card round of the AFC playoffs. Across his 10 regular-season appearances in 2025, Poyer racked up 70 tackles (31 solo), including 0.5 sacks, plus three passes defensed, including one interception.

  • Joey Bosa DE | BUF

    Bills' Joey Bosa: Officially questionable for Week 18

    Bills head coach Sean McDermott said Friday that Bosa (hamstring) will be listed as questionable for Sunday's regular-season finale against the Jets, Maddy Glab of the team's official site reports.

    Bosa has managed a hamstring injury since late November but suited up for each of Buffalo's last three games. That said, with the Bills no longer having a path to the AFC East title, the team could elect to rest key starters in order to prioritize their health for the postseason. Across 15 regular-season appearances so far, Bosa has racked up 29 tackles (17 solo), including 5.0 sacks, plus five forced fumbles and two passes defensed.

  • Chiefs' Xavier Worthy: Not seen at start of practice

    Worthy (illness) wasn't spotted at the media-access portion of Friday's practice, Pete Sweeney of ArrowheadPride.com reports.

    Worthy didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday, so the wideout's apparent absence Friday clouds his status for Sunday's season finale against the Raiders. If Worthy is sidelined this weekend, Hollywood Brown, JuJu Smith-Schuster and Jalen Royals would lead the Chiefs' Week 18 WR corps, with Jason Brownlee and Jimmy Holiday candidates to be elevated from the team's practice squad.

  • Jets' Qwan'tez Stiggers: Won't play Sunday

    Jets head coach Aaron Glenn said Friday that Stiggers (knee) is ruled out for the team's season finale against the Bills on Sunday.

    Stiggers will miss Sunday's season finale due to the knee injury he suffered versus the Patriots in Week 17, bringing his 2025 campaign to an end with 27 tackles (17 solo), three passes defensed and two fumble recoveries across 15 regular-season appearance. The 2024 fifth-round pick will stand to spend the coming offseason competing to earn a role in New York's cornerback rotation for the 2026 campaign.

  • David Njoku TE | CLE

    Browns' David Njoku: Absent from practice again

    Njoku (knee/personal) is not participating in the portion of Friday's practice open to the media, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.

    Njoku hasn't played or practiced since Week 14, and it appears he'll also miss Cleveland's season finale against the Bengals on Sunday. The emergence of rookie Harold Fannin (groin), who also isn't practicing Friday, caused Njoku's opportunities in the receiving game to decline, and it appears he'll finish the 2025 campaign with a 33-293-4 line (on 48 targets) across 12 regular-season appearances. Njoku is set to become an unrestricted free agent in the offseason, assuming the Browns allow his contract to void Feb. 10, and the 29-year-old tight end should have little issue finding an opportunity elsewhere in the league. He compiled three straight seasons with over 500 receiving yards from 2022-24.

  • Browns' Harold Fannin: Missing another practice

    Fannin (groin) remained sidelined at practice Friday, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.

    With both Fannin and David Njoku (knee/personal) having missed all three of the Browns' practices this week, the TE duo is trending toward being ruled out for Sunday's season finale against the Bengals. If that ends up happening, Blake Whiteheart and Brenden Bates, along with potentially practice-squad member Sal Cannella, would be in line to handle Cleveland's tight end duties this weekend.

  • Lions' Amon-Ra St. Brown: Trending in right direction

    Lions coach Dan Campbell said Friday that St. Brown (knee/ankle) is "trending the right way" to play Sunday at Chicago, Nolan Bianchi of The Detroit News reports.

    On the other hand, Campbell said star right tackle Penei Sewell (ankle) isn't likely to play in the season finale. St. Brown returned to practice Thursday as a limited participant, giving him a chance to play in all 17 of Detroit's regular-season games for the third time in his five-year career.

  • Jelani Woods TE | NYJ

    Jets' Jelani Woods: Done for the year

    Jets head coach Aaron Glenn said Friday that Woods (hamstring) is ruled out for Sunday's season finale against New England.

    Woods appeared in four regular-season with New York in 2025 after having spent the prior two years on IR with the Colts due to hamstring and toe injuries. Across his appearances with the Jets, he secured one of three targets for four yards. Woods is slated to be an unrestricted free agent this offseason, and continued concerns about his ability to stay healthy will likely tamper the amount of interest he receives from teams around the league.
