Fannin, who left Sunday's 13-6 win over the Steelers with a groin injury, is slated to undergo an MRI on Monday, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports.

Per Jackson, the tight end's current issue is believed to be an aggravation of the groin injury that he suffered in practice Friday. With the Browns out of playoff contention, the team figures to proceed cautiously with Fannin ahead of the team's Week 18 season finale against the Bengals. The same presumably applies to fellow TE David Njoku, who hasn't played since Week 14 due to a knee injury.

McKinney finished Saturday's 41-24 loss to Baltimore with 13 tackles (six solo).

McKinney was one of three Packers defenders to play every single snap, and he finished the contest with a game-high 13 tackles, matching his career high that he logged in Week 11 of the 2023 season as a member of the Giants. McKinney is up to 107 combined tackles through 16 regular-season games, marking the second time in his six-year NFL career that he has reached 100-plus tackles in a season. With the Packers locked in as the NFC's seventh seed heading into the postseason, McKinney and the rest of the Packers starters could be rested or operate on a snap count against the Vikings in Week 18.

Barnett recorded 2.0 sacks in Saturday's 20-16 win over the Chargers.

Barnett was able to get to Justin Herbert twice in the third quarter, sacking the quarterback on back-to-back plays. The defensive lineman has now compiled 3.0 sacks over the last two weeks, and he's up to 5.0 sacks on the season.

Thomas caught four of seven targets for 39 yards in Sunday's 23-17 win over the Colts.

Thomas tied Jakobi Meyers for third on the Jaguars in receiving yards behind Parker Washington (115) and Brenton Strange (54). Washington paced the team with 10 targets for the second consecutive game and Thomas was also out-targeted, 9-7, by Meyers. Thomas has struggled to find consistency while working as part of a crowded pass-catching group in Jacksonville, though there could be plenty of production to go around in Week 18, when the 12-4 Jaguars can clinch the AFC South by beating the 3-13 Titans.

Darnold completed 18 of 27 passes for 147 yards and one touchdown with one interception in Sunday's 27-10 win over the Panthers. He added two rushing yards on three carries and lost one of two fumbles.

The passing yardage total was his second lowest of the season, but the Seahawks defense made sure that Darnold didn't need to produce too much offense. The 28-year-old QB did hit AJ Barner for a 17-yard score in the third quarter, giving Darnold 25 TD passes on the season -- the second straight year he's reached that mark -- and he needs just 150 passing yards to reach 4,000 for the second straight campaign. With Seattle potentially needing a win in Week 18 to secure the No. 1 seed in the NFC and a first-round bye in the playoffs, Darnold should be under center for the regular-season finale against the 49ers.

Holland (knee) is questionable to return against the Raiders on Sunday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Holland suffered the injury on the opening kickoff of the second quarter and is being evaluated by medical staff to determine whether he can return to Sunday's game. Beau Brade is in line for more snaps on defense for as long as Holland is sidelined.

Rodgers completed 21 of 39 passes for 168 yards, no touchdowns and no interceptions in Sunday's 13-6 loss to the Browns. He added one rush for six yards.

Rodgers was without both DK Metcalf (suspension) and Calvin Austin (hamstring) for the entire game, and Darnell Washington (arm) exited early on. That led to a conservative game plan and out-of-sync offense, with the end result being Rodgers averaging only 4.3 yards per attempt. He also accounted for 58 of his yards on Pittsburgh's final drive with long completions to Pat Freiermuth and Scotty Miller. This performance halted some positive momentum that Rodgers had built with recent performances, marking his first game without a touchdown and his lowest yardage total since Week 13. He'll now prepare for a division-deciding matchup against the Ravens in Week 18.

To'oTo'o recorded 12 total tackles (five solo) in Saturday's 20-16 win over the Chargers.

To'oTo'o was able to pace the team in takedowns, securing a new season-high 12 stops in the contest. The linebacker has reached double-digit tackles in two of the last three contests and three times overall this year. To'oTo'o is now up to 93 total tackles (42 solo), including 2.5 sacks, while also adding three passes defensed over 16 contests during his third campaign with Houston.

Bernard (calf) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Eagles.

Bernard appeared to suffer the injury in the second quarter and was evaluated by medical staff in the blue medical tent. Dorian Williams and Joe Andreessen are candidates for more snaps on defense for as long as Bernard is out of the game.

Meyers caught six of nine targets for 39 yards and lost a fumble in Sunday's 23-17 win over the Colts.

Meyers fumbled on a failed lateral attempt to Travis Etienne in the first quarter, but the veteran wide receiver was otherwise his usual steady self. This was Meyers' seventh consecutive game with at least four catches, and he has at least 39 receiving yards in all eight of his appearances for the Jaguars after coming over from the Raiders in a midseason trade. Meyers will remain a reliable target in the short and intermediate range when the Jaguars try to clinch the AFC South in a Week 18 home game against the Titans.
