  • Kareem Hunt RB | KC

    Chiefs' Kareem Hunt: Absent from practice Thursday

    Hunt (illness) did not practice Thursday, Matt Derrick of ChiefsDigest.com reports.

    Hunt will miss a second straight practice due to an ailment he's managing. Unless he's able to resume practicing in full Friday, it looks like the veteran running back will be assigned an injury designation for Sunday's season finale against the Raiders. Isiah Pacheco could get a chance to handle a workhorse backfield role in Week 18 if Hunt can't go.

  • Chiefs' Xavier Worthy: Misses another practice

    Worthy (illness) is not practicing Thursday, Matt Derrick of ChiefsDigest.com reports.

    Worthy is now sitting out a second straight practice due to illness, making him seem legitimately up-in-the-air for Sunday's season finale against Las Vegas. The second-year pro's finale chance to get back on the practice field will come Friday. If Worth can't play Week 18, it will be Hollywood Brown, JuJu Smith-Schuster and Jalen Royals who act as the starting three wideouts for quarterback Chris Oladokun.

  • Lamar Jackson QB | BAL

    Ravens' Lamar Jackson: Practicing again Thursday

    Jackson (back) was present for Thursday's practice, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

    After logging a full practice Wednesday, Jackson's presence for Thursday's session has him tracking toward returning to the starting lineup Sunday night against the Steelers. On Wednesday, coach John Harbaugh told Hensley that he was "very optimistic" about Jackson playing this weekend, and if the QB is officially deemed a full participant once again Thursday, he'd presumably be in line to head into the weekend without a Week 18 injury designation.

  • Rashod Bateman WR | BAL

    Ravens' Rashod Bateman: Still not practicing

    Bateman (illness) wasn't present for practice Thursday, Jonas Shaffer of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.

    Bateman missed Wednesday's session, so the wideout now has just one opportunity to participate in practice ahead of Sunday night's regular-season finale against the Steelers. With the AFC North title on the line, Bateman likely will do anything he can to be available for the contest, but he may need to work fully Friday in order to head into the weekend without an injury designation.

  • Giants' Wan'Dale Robinson: Not spotted Thursday

    Robinson (ribs) is not present at the portion of Thursday's practice open to the media, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.

    Robinson did not practice Wednesday and now appears to be sitting out a second consecutive session. That leaves him one more opportunity to take the practice field on Friday, at which point the Giants will decide whether to assign him an official injury designation for Sunday's regular-season finale against Dallas. Robinson has strung together three straight 100-yard performances and already gone over 1,000 receiving yards on the season, and if he's able to take the field versus the Cowboys on Sunday, he'll have an opportunity to log another strong performance in a plus matchup.

  • Dylan Parham OG | LV

    Raiders' Dylan Parham: Logs DNP on Wednesday

    Parham (illness) didn't practice Wednesday, Paul Gutierrez of the Raiders' official site reports.

    The fourth-year pro from Memphis likely needs to upgrade to at least limited practice Thursday or Friday to have a chance at playing in Sunday's season finale against the Chiefs. If Parham is sidelined, expect Atonio Mafi to start at left guard in Week 18.

  • Aaron Banks G | GB

    Packers' Aaron Banks: Dealing with illness

    Banks (illness/ankle) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.

    Banks was dealing with a neck issue prior to Green Bay's Week 17 loss to the Ravens, but it now appears he's being hindered by an illness and an ankle injury. The first-year Packer's practice participation Thursday and Friday will likely provide the best indication of whether he'll suit up for Sunday's Week 18 matchup against the Vikings.

  • Zach Tom OG | GB

    Packers' Zach Tom: Logs limited session Wednesday

    Tom (back/knee) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.

    The fourth-year pro from Wake Forest has missed the Packers' last two games due to a back injury, but Wednesday's limited session suggests he could be nearing a return. Tom likely needs to practice in full Thursday or Friday to avoid carrying an injury designation into Sunday's regular-season finale against the Vikings.

  • Josh Allen QB | BUF

    Bills' Josh Allen: Not seen at practice Thursday

    Allen (foot) wasn't spotted at Thursday's practice, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.

    Allen was deemed a non-participant in Wednesday's walkthrough, with the QB's absence a day later setting the stage for Friday's injury report to add further context in terms of his status for Sunday's regular-season finale against the Jets. As Week 18 approaches, the Bills are currently the No. 7 playoff seed in the AFC, though either the No. 5 or No. 6 seed are in play for the team. It remains to be seen, though, how Buffalo's coaching staff plans to proceed with Allen this weekend as he continues to manage a foot issue, with head coach Sean McDermott thus far not tipping his hand regarding who will or won't be playing, per Getzenberg.

  • Jevon Holland SAF | NYG

    Giants' Jevon Holland: Logs another DNP

    Holland (knee) won't practice Thursday, Evan Barnes of Newsday reports.

    Holland has now logged his second consecutive DNP to open the Giants' week of practice after sustaining a knee injury in the Week 17 win over the Raiders. The 25-year-old likely needs to upgrade to limited practice Friday to have a chance at playing in Sunday's season finale against the Cowboys. If Holland is sidelined, expect Beau Brade to start at free safety in Week 18.
