  • Nick McCloud CB | CHI

    Bears' Nick McCloud: Still battling illness

    McCloud (illness) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.

    McCloud was unable to shake off an illness in time to be available for the Bears' Week 17 loss to the 49ers. He's still under the weather, but he'll have two more chances to increase his practice participation and likely fade an injury designation ahead of Sunday's regular-season finale against the Lions.

  • Broncos' John Franklin-Myers: Working through hip injury

    Franklin-Myers (hip) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.

    Franklin-Myers may have picked up the injury during the Broncos' win over the Chiefs on Christmas Day, during which he played only 14 snaps (11 on defense, three on special teams) without recording a tackle. He'll have two more chances to log a full practice and likely avoid an injury tag for Sunday's regular-season finale against the Chargers.

  • Nate Adkins TE | DEN

    Broncos' Nate Adkins: Limited in Wednesday's practice

    Adkins (knee) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.

    Adkins was unable to play against the Chiefs on Christmas Day due to a knee injury, which also caused him to miss five games from Weeks 9 through 14. His ability to practice in a limited fashion indicates that he is progressing in his recovery, and he would likely avoid an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Chargers if he were to log a full practice over the next two days.

  • Dre Greenlaw LB | DEN

    Broncos' Dre Greenlaw: Doesn't practice Wednesday

    Greenlaw (hamstring) did not participate in Wednesday's practice.

    Greenlaw was unable to play against the Chiefs on Christmas Day due to a hamstring injury he sustained against the Jaguars in Week 16. The veteran linebacker will have two more opportunities to return to practice ahead of Sunday's regular-season finale against the Chargers.

  • Blake Cashman LB | MIN

    Vikings' Blake Cashman: Managing elbow issue

    Cashman (elbow) was limited in practice Wednesday.

    Cashman thrived with a season-high 17 tackles against Detroit on Christmas Day, but he appears to have hurt his elbow in the process. At this point it seems more likely than not that the veteran linebacker will be able to suit up for Sunday's season finale against the Packers, though Cashman's practice status throughout the remainder of this week bears keeping an eye on. Should Cashman have to sit out Sunday's contest, Ivan Pace could absorb most of his snaps on defense.

  • Braden Fiske DE | LAR

    Rams' Braden Fiske: Still working through ankle injury

    Fiske (ankle) was a limited participant in Wednesday's walkthrough practice, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.

    Fiske has been able to play through an ankle injury for the Rams' last two games, though he's logged just one tackle over that span while seeing his snaps on defense noticeably decrease. He'll have two more chances to increase his practice participation heading into Sunday's NFC West tilt against the Cardinals.

  • Myles Price WR | MIN

    Vikings' Myles Price: Sits out practice Wednesday

    Price (ankle) was a non-participant in practice Wednesday.

    Price hurt his ankle Christmas Day versus Detroit and hasn't recovered enough to practice. With that in mind, it's uncertain if he'll be able to play in the Vikings' season finale against Green Bay on Sunday. Price has had just a bit role on offense this season, but he's been working as Minnesota's primary kick- and punt-returner, so he'd have to be replaced in those capacities if he can't suit up Sunday.

  • Xavier Smith WR | LAR

    Rams' Xavier Smith: Limited in walkthrough

    Smith (chest) was limited at Wednesday's walkthrough, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.

    In Monday's 27-24 loss in Atlanta, Smith ranked third among Rams wide receivers in snap share with 51 percent behind Puka Nacua (74 percent) and Konata Mumpfield (66 percent). However, Smith paced the team with 67 receiving yards on his four catches. Assuming he's able to play through his chest injury Sunday against the Cardinals, he should continue to earn consistent looks from QB Matthew Stafford because No. 2 WR Davante Adams is expected to miss a third game in a row, as coach Sean McVay told Grosbard on Wednesday.

  • Rams' Jaylen McCollough: Limited in Wednesday's walkthrough

    McCollough (hip) was a limited participant in Wednesday's walkthrough practice, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.

    McCollough was able to return to Monday's loss against the Falcons after briefly exiting due to a hip injury. He'll have two more chances to log a full practice and potentially avoid an injury tag for Sunday's regular-season finale against the Cardinals. McCollough has accumulated 22 tackles (14 solo) and three pass defenses in the nine games since the Rams' Week 8 bye.

  • Omar Speights LB | LAR

    Rams' Omar Speights: Working through ankle injury

    Speights (ankle) was estimated as a limited practice participant on Wednesday's injury report, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.

    Speights may have tweaked his ankle during Monday's loss to the Falcons, when he logged eight tackles (three solo) while playing 65 snaps (46 on defense, 19 on special teams). The Rams hosted a walkthrough practice Wednesday, so the second-year linebacker will have two more chances to increase his practice participation ahead of Sunday's regular-season finale against the Cardinals.
