  • Dalton Tucker OG | IND

    Colts' Dalton Tucker: Logs full practice Thursday

    Tucker (shoulder) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.

    Tucker sustained a shoulder injury during the Colts' Week 16 loss to the 49ers, which prevented him from playing against the Jaguars in Week 17. With a full practice under his belt, Tucker will be available to play against the Texans on Sunday.

  • Mason Taylor TE | NYJ

    Jets' Mason Taylor: Still not practicing

    Taylor (neck) did not practice Thursday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

    Taylor appears an unlikely candidate to retake the field in time for New York's season finale against the Bills. The rookie tight end hasn't played since Week 14, and he's now missed back-to-back practices in advance of Sunday's road divisional matchup. If Taylor can't play this weekend, he will wrap his rookie campaign with 44 catches for 369 yards and one score across 13 regular-season appearances.

  • JT Tuimoloau DE | IND

    Colts' JT Tuimoloau: Past oblique injury

    Tuimoloau (oblique) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.

    Tuimoloau was unable to play against the Jaguars in Week 17 due to an oblique injury. His ability to practice in full indicates that he's past the injury and will be available for Sunday's regular-season finale against the Texans. The rookie second-rounder has logged 16 tackles (six solo) through the first 12 regular-season games of his NFL career.

  • Zaire Franklin OLB | IND

    Colts' Zaire Franklin: Under the weather

    Franklin (illness) did not participate in Thursday's practice.

    Franklin is battling through an illness that caused him to miss Thursday's practice and puts him in jeopardy of missing the Colts' regular-season finale against the Texans on Sunday. Buddy Johnson and Segun Olubi would be the top candidates to start at linebacker if Franklin is unable to suit up in Week 18.

  • Rome Odunze WR | CHI

    Bears' Rome Odunze: Another DNP on Thursday

    Odunze (foot) didn't practice Thursday.

    Odunze's next on-field work will be his first since Dec. 12 as he tends to a stress fracture in his foot. With Thursday's absence, he thus appears destined to miss a fifth game in a row to end the regular season. As long as Odunze is sidelined, the Bears will rely on DJ Moore, Luther Burden, Olamide Zaccheaus, Jahdae Walker and Devin Duvernay at wide receiver.

  • Bears' Luther Burden: Practices in full Thursday

    Burden (quadriceps) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.

    Burden was limited in Wednesday's practice due to the quad injury he suffered on the last play of Chicago's loss to San Francisco in Week 17, and it now appears he's fully recovered in time for Sunday's regular-season finale against the Lions. Meanwhile, fellow wideout Rome Odunze (foot) remained sidelined at practice Thursday and seems an unlikely candidate to play Week 18, given that the Bears have already clinched the NFC North but do not have a path to claiming the No. 1 seed in the NFC playoff picture.

  • David Njoku TE | CLE

    Browns' David Njoku: Remains sidelined Thursday

    Njoku (knee/personal) is not practicing Thursday, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.

    Njoku continues to miss practice due to a knee injury that has kept him from suiting up since Week 14. The veteran tight end will have a final chance to resume practicing Friday, but at this stage Njoku seems unlikely to be on the field for Cleveland during Sunday's regular-season finale against the Bengals. Rookie tight end Harold Fannin (groin) is also not practicing Thursday.

  • Browns' Harold Fannin: Still not practicing

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

    With Fannin and David Njoku (knee/personal) poised to log consecutive 'DNPs,' it looks like the Browns could be without their top two tight ends in Sunday's season finale against the Bengals. If that ends up being the case, Blake Whiteheart, Brenden Bates (shoulder) and practice-squad member Sal Cannella would be in line to handle the team's TE duties Week 18.

  • Dalton Kincaid TE | BUF

    Bills' Dalton Kincaid: Another limited practice

    Kincaid (knee) remained limited at practice Thursday.

    As did fellow TE Dawson Knox (knee), which gives the duo one more chance apiece to work fully before the Bills assign injury designations ahead of Sunday's regular-season finale against the Jets. Kincaid was inactive Week 17, and given that he's still limited by his knee issue, it's plausible that the Bills elect to err on the side of caution with him this weekend, will the NFL postseason looming.

  • Bills' Tre'Davious White: Limited by illness

    White (illness) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.

    White wasn't listed on Wednesday's practice report, so the illness is a new issue for the veteran cornerback. He would likely avoid an injury designation for Sunday's regular-season finale against the Jets if he were to log a full practice Friday. In the 10 games since the Bills' Week 7 bye, White has logged 18 tackles (10 solo) and seven pass defenses (including one interception).
