Damien Martinez RB | SEA
Damien Martinez: Signs with Green Bay
The Packers signed Martinez to the practice squad Tuesday.
With MarShawn Lloyd (hamstring) on injured reserve, it seems the Packers would like to bolster their running back room before the upcoming playoff run. The rookie seventh-rounder was waived by the Seahawks at the end of the preseason and has not yet seen action in an NFL regular-season game. Lloyd will be a candidate for elevation if Josh Jacobs, Emanuel Wilson or Chris Brooks were to suffer an injury in the coming weeks.

Falcons' David Sills: Leads Atlanta receivers in Week 17
Sills caught three passes on four targets for 37 yards during the Falcons' 27-24 win over the Rams on Monday.
Sills finished Monday's game leading the Falcons in receiving yards and second in receptions behind Bijan Robinson' five. Sills' production came despite Kirk Cousins throwing for only 126 yards on 13 completions, and with Drake London not looking fully recovered from a knee injury. Sills and the Falcons will wrap up the regular season Sunday at home against the Saints.

Jets' Malachi Moore: Seven tackles in loss
Moore recorded seven tackles (four solo) and one pass breakup in the Jets' loss to the Patriots on Sunday.

Darnell Mooney WR | ATL
Falcons' Darnell Mooney: Logs two catches vs. LAR
Mooney caught two passes on three targets for 35 yards during the Falcons' 27-24 win over the Rams on Monday.
Mooney made a crucial 13-yard grab on third down to extend a drive that ultimately ended with a four-yard touchdown pass from Kirk Cousins to Bijan Robinson. Mooney added a 22-yard catch late in the third quarter but was not targeted by Cousins again, resulting in a two-catch performance for a second consecutive week. Mooney has caught three passes or fewer in 13 of 14 regular-season games and has seen five targets or more in just six of those contests. The sixth-year wideout will take a 29-423-1 receiving line on 65 targets into Sunday's regular-season finale against the Saints.

Jamien Sherwood LB | NYJ
Jets' Jamien Sherwood: Seven tackles in blowout loss
Sherwood recorded seven tackles (three solo) in the Jets' 42-10 loss to the Patriots on Sunday.
Sherwood played all 66 defensive snaps against New England, and the fifth-year linebacker now has 147 tackles (68 solo), including 2.0 sacks, and a career-high eight pass breakups across 16 games (15 starts) this season. Sherwood needs 12 tackles in Week 18 against Buffalo to set a new single-season career-high after he recorded 158 tackles last season.

Jalyx Hunt LB | PHI
Eagles' Jalyx Hunt: Sacks Allen twice in Week 17 win
Hunt logged seven tackles (two solo), including 2.0 sacks, during the Eagles' 13-12 win over the Bills on Sunday.
Hunt finished Sunday's game tied for the third-most tackles on the Eagles and was responsible for two of the team's five sacks on Josh Allen, including a 19-yard takedown early in the fourth quarter that took the Bills out of field-goal range. It was the second time this season that Hunt logged at least 2.0 sacks in a game, and the second-year linebacker is up to 50 tackles (26 solo), including 6.5 sacks, two interceptions (including a pick-six) and two forced fumbles through 16 regular-season games.

Devin Lloyd LB | JAC
Jaguars' Devin Lloyd: Five tackles in victory
Lloyd recorded five tackles (one solo) and one pass breakup in the Jaguars' win over the Colts on Sunday.
Lloyd's 90 percent snap rate against Indianapolis was his highest in a game since playing 96 percent of the defensive snaps in Week 10 against Houston. The 27-year-old linebacker has recorded 76 tackles (33 solo), including 1.5 sacks, seven pass breakups, including five interceptions, one fumble recovery and one defensive touchdown on 74 percent of the snaps across 14 appearances this season.

Haason Reddick OLB | TB
Buccaneers' Haason Reddick: Fades Tuesday's injury report
Reddick (head) was not listed on Tuesday's practice report, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.
Reddick left late in the fourth quarter of Sunday's loss to the Dolphins to be evaluated for a possible concussion. He did not meet the criteria to enter the league's concussion protocol, which puts him on track to play against the Panthers on Saturday. Reddick has accumulated 13 tackles (eight solo), including 1.0 sacks, and one forced fumble over his last five games.

Baker Mayfield QB | TB
Buccaneers' Baker Mayfield: Battling shoulder, knee injuries
The Buccaneers listed Mayfield as a limited participant in Tuesday's walk-through practice due to knee and right shoulder injuries, Brianna Dix of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
Mayfield had notably been listed with a left shoulder injury on Buccaneers injury reports from Weeks 13 through 15, but he's now contending with an issue to his throwing shoulder along with his knee coming out of this past Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Dolphins. With the Bucs needing a win to have any hope of claiming the NFC South title, Mayfield isn't expected to be in any real danger of missing Saturday's matchup with the Panthers, but the pair of injuries will cast further doubt on the quarterback's chances of returning to his early-season form. During Tampa Bay's current four-game losing streak, Mayfield is averaging just 222.5 passing yards per contest and has thrown for six touchdowns while turning the ball over six times (five interceptions, one lost fumble).

Robert Hunt OT | CAR
Panthers' Robert Hunt: Full participant in walk-through
Hunt (biceps) was estimated to be a full participant in Tuesday's walk-through practice, Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer reports.
Hunt was a limited participant throughout Week 17 and ended up unable to play in Sunday's loss to the Seahawks. The upgrade to full participation to start Week 18 bodes well for the offensive guard, and his status for Saturday's divisional clash with the Buccaneers will likely depend on his participation level in the Panthers' next two practices. If Hunt is unable to return from injured reserve for the contest, expect Austin Corbett to continue to start at right guard.
