  • Cowboys' Javonte Williams: Avoids injury report

    Williams (shoulder) wasn't listed on the Cowboys' first Week 18 injury report Wednesday, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

    Prior to Wednesday's session, coach Brian Schottenheimer told Joe Hoyt of The Dallas Morning News that Williams and No. 2 RB Malik Davis would be limited. However, Williams practiced without restrictions to begin Week 18 prep, while Davis didn't log any on-field work due to listed calf and eye issues. Williams thus seems poised to lead Dallas' backfield Sunday at the Giants, especially if Davis isn't able to suit up.

  • Darren Waller TE | MIA

    Dolphins' Darren Waller: Sits out practice with groin injury

    Waller (groin) did not practice Wednesday, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

    Waller logged a DNP/LP/LP practice pattern in advance of being cleared for Miami's win over Tampa Bay in Week 17, but he was listed with a rest/groin designation then. Now, the veteran tight end seems to simply be managing his groin injury. Waller will have two more chances to return to practice ahead of Sunday's regular-season finale on the road against New England. He secured just one of three targets for zero receiving yards versus the Buccaneers, while fellow tight end Greg Dulcich put together a 5-58-1 receiving line on six targets.

  • Patriots' Khyiris Tonga: Still sidelined by foot injury

    Tonga (foot) did not practice Wednesday.

    Tonga was unable to play against the Jets in Week 17 due to a foot injury he picked up during the Patriots' Week 16 win over the Ravens. The fifth-year nose tackle would have to practice in at least a limited capacity over the next two days to have a realistic chance to play against the Dolphins on Sunday. Undrafted rookie Eric Gregory would continue to work in an expanded role on the Patriots' defensive line if Tonga were to be ruled out.

  • Jets' Qwan'tez Stiggers: Misses practice Wednesday

    Stiggers (knee) did not practice Wednesday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

    Stiggers suffered a knee injury this past Sunday against New England and couldn't finish the loss. The extent of the issue isn't clear, but it's certainly not a good sign that he wasn't able to practice in any capacity to begin this week. Should Stiggers be sidelined Sunday against Buffalo, Jordan Clark could absorb most of his cornerback reps.

  • Teven Jenkins OG | CLE

    Browns' Teven Jenkins: DNP on Wednesday

    Jenkins (concussion) did not practice Wednesday, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

    Jenkins was concussed in last Sunday's win over the Steelers and remains in the protocol. Zak Zinter would likely be the next man up to start at right guard for Cleveland after Wyatt Teller (calf) was placed on injured reserve earlier Wednesday.

  • Patriots' Jack Westover: Working through ankle injury

    Westover (ankle) did not practice Wednesday.

    Westover was able to overcome an illness to play in the Patriots' Week 17 win over the Jets, but it appears the second-year fullback picked up an ankle injury in the process. He'll have two more chances to return to practice in at least a limited capacity heading into Sunday's regular-season finale against the Dolphins.

  • Rashod Bateman WR | BAL

    Ravens' Rashod Bateman: Misses practice with illness

    Bateman missed Wednesday's practice with an illness.

    Bateman should have time to recover before Sunday night's game at Pittsburgh. If not, WRs DeAndre Hopkins and Devontez Walker will be the favorites to get more playing time.

  • J.J. McCarthy QB | MIN

    Vikings' J.J. McCarthy: Limited Wednesday, is 'day-to-day'

    McCarthy said after Wednesday's practice that he was limited and remains "day-to-day," Ben Goessling of The Minnesota Star Tribune reports.

    McCarthy sustained a hairline fracture in his right throwing hand Week 16 at the Giants and didn't play last Thursday against the Lions. Coach Kevin O'Connell told Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com that McCarthy had a "really positive" throwing session Tuesday, and the quarterback himself said Wednesday that he "felt good throwing." It remains to be seen if McCarthy will be able to suit up Sunday versus the Packers, but Max Brosmer is on hand for another start if the former isn't cleared to play.

  • De'Von Achane RB | MIA

    Dolphins' De'Von Achane: DNP due to shoulder injury

    Achane missed Wednesday's practice with a shoulder injury, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

    There was no clear sign of trouble during Sunday's 20-18 win over Tampa Bay, with Achane taking carries deep into the fourth quarter and ultimately finishing with 21 touches on a 74 percent snap share. He's up to 1,838 yards from scrimmage on the season, having yet to miss a game. Jaylen Wright has been Miami's No. 2 RB of late, ahead of Ollie Gordon.

  • Patriots' Harold Landry: Doesn't practice Wednesday

    Landry (knee) did not participate in Wednesday's practice.

    Landry was unable to play against the Jets on Sunday due to a knee injury that has lingered since late November. It was the first game he's missed this season, and he'll look to return to practice over the next two days and be available for the Patriots' regular-season finale against the Dolphins on Sunday. The veteran pass rusher has logged 8.5 sacks through 15 regular-season games in his first year with New England.
