Wan'Dale Robinson WR | NYG
Giants' Wan'Dale Robinson: Misses practice Wednesday
Robinson (ribs) is not participating in the portion of Wednesday's practice open to the media, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.
Robinson tallied his third consecutive 100-yard performance during New York's win over the Raiders in Week 17 by securing 11 of 14 targets for 113 yards, but the undersized wideout appears to have sustained a rib injury in the process. He'll have two more chances to get back on the practice field in advance of the Giants' regular-season finale against Dallas on Sunday. A combination of Isaiah Hodgins, Gunner Olszewski, Dalen Cambre, Ryan Miller and Jalin Hyatt (illness) will step up on offense behind Darius Slayton in the event that Robinson isn't cleared to play Week 18.

Harold Fannin Jr. TE | CLE
Browns' Harold Fannin: Not slated to practice Wednesday
Fannin (groin) isn't in line to practice Wednesday, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.
Fannin exited the Browns' Week 17 win over the Steelers after appearing to aggravate a groin injury that first cropped up this past Friday. He'll now have two more chances to practice ahead of Sunday's season finale against the Bengals, but if he and/or David Njoku -- who hasn't played since Week 14 due to a knee injury -- are out this weekend, Blake Whiteheart, Brenden Bates (shoulder) and practice squad member Sal Cannella could be available to handle Cleveland's Week 18 tight end duties.

David Njoku TE | CLE
Browns' David Njoku: Will not practice Wednesday
Njoku (knee/personal) will not practice Wednesday, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.
Njoku hasn't played since Week 14 and seems unlikely to return for the regular-season finale against the Bengals. Across 12 appearances this season, Njoku has recorded just 33 catches for 293 yards and four touchdowns on 48 targets. Njoku's 24.4 yards per game are his fewest since 2020.

Laremy Tunsil OT | WAS
Commanders' Laremy Tunsil: Likely out for Week 18
Head coach Dan Quinn told reporters Wednesday that Tunsil (oblique) is a "long shot" to play in Sunday's matchup against the Eagles, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.
The 31-year-old has missed each of the Commanders' last two games due to an oblique injury, and it now appears the issue will likely sideline him for the Week 18 divisional matchup as well. If Tunsil is out as expected Sunday, Brandon Coleman will likely operate as Washington's top left tackle.

Noah Sewell LB | CHI
Bears' Noah Sewell: Placed on IR
Coach Ben Johnson said the Bears will place Sewell (Achilles) on injured reserve Wednesday, Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com reports.
Sewell suffered a torn Achilles in Sunday night's loss to the 49ers and will miss Week 18 and the playoffs for Chicago. Sewell served as the Bears' top reserve linebacker and a top special-teamer. He appeared in 13 games, making nine starts, and recorded a career-high 59 tackles (33 solo) and one forced fumble.

Zayne Anderson SAF | GB
Packers' Zayne Anderson: 2025 campaign likely over
Head coach Matt LaFleur told reporters Wednesday that Anderson (ankle) is likely out for the remainder of the season, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
The BYU product sustained an ankle injury in the Week 17 loss to the Ravens and is now expected to miss the remainder of the Packers' 2025 campaign. Across 14 contests this season, Anderson tallied 15 total tackles and one fumble recovery while primarily contributing on special teams (206 special-teams snaps and 22 on defense). While he's sidelined, expect Kitan Oladapo and Jaylin Simpson to serve as the Packers' top reserve safeties.

Nate Hobbs CB | GB
Packers' Nate Hobbs: Likely done for the season
Head coach Matt LaFleur told reporters Wednesday that Hobbs (knee) is likely out for the rest of the season, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
The 26-year-old corner sustained a knee injury in the Week 17 loss to the Ravens, and it now appears serious enough to sideline him for the remainder of the season. Hobbs struggled to stay healthy in his first year as a Packer, recording 31 total tackles and two passes defensed across 11 games. While he's likely out for the rest of Green Bay's 2025 campaign, expect Keisean Nixon and Carrington Valentine to operate as the team's top boundary cornerback duo.

Dawson Knox TE | BUF
Bills' Dawson Knox: Limited listing on tap
Knox (knee) will be listed as limited in Wednesday's walk-through, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports.
As will Dalton Kincaid (knee), with both tight ends now having two more chances to upgrade to full participation before the Bills post their Week 18 injury designations Friday. It remains to be seen how the team plans to proceed with its banged up players as Sunday's regular-season finale against the Jets approaches, with Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com noting Wednesday that at this stage coach Sean McDermott hasn't provided any updates on who will or won't be playing this weekend.

Jordan Love QB | GB
Packers' Jordan Love: Still in protocol, some starters to rest
Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said Wednesday that Love (shoulder/concussion) will practice but remains in the NFL's five-step protocol for brain injuries, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
Love was listed as a limited participant at all three of Green Bay's practice sessions prior to being ruled out for the team's loss to Baltimore in Week 17, in which backup Malik Willis (shoulder) also suffered an injury late, leading to third-string quarterback Clayton Tune taking the field. Per Zach Kruse of USA Today, LaFleur confirmed Wednesday that some starters will be held out of Sunday's regular-season finale against the Vikings, since the Packers are already locked into the No. 7 playoff seed in the NFC. While LaFleur declined to specify which starters won't play, it could make sense to allow both Love and Willis time to get healthy for the postseason, even if one or both are cleared to play Week 18. Green Bay is signing Desmond Ridder to the practice squad Wednesday, a move that provides the team with additional depth alongside Tune in case Love and/or Willis are unavailable versus Minnesota.

Dalton Kincaid TE | BUF
Bills' Dalton Kincaid: To be limited in walk-through
Kincaid (knee) will be listed as limited in Wednesday's walk-through, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports.
The same goes for fellow TE Dawson Knox (knee). Kincaid was inactive for the Bills' 13-12 loss to the Eagles in Week 17, and at this stage it's plausible that the team could elect to err on the side of caution with their top tight end in Week 18, with Kincaid still managing his knee issue ahead of Sunday's regular-season finale against the Jets. Per Alec White of the team's official site, the Bills are currently the No. 7 playoff seed in the AFC and are still in play to be the No. 5 or No. 6 seed depending on how things transpire this weekend.
