Head coach Matt LaFleur said Sunday that Riley is done for the rest of the 2025 season due to an Achilles injury, Weston Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

Riley sustained the injury during the Packers' 41-24 loss to the Ravens on Saturday. Further tests have revealed that the injury is severe enough that the third-year defensive tackle will not return for the rest of the season, and the issue could impact his availability for the start of the 2026 campaign. Riley signed a contract with the Packers in early December and mostly worked in a rotational role at defensive tackle, finishing with two solo tackles across four regular-season games.

Luvu recorded seven tackles (three solo) and one pass defense during the Commanders' 30-23 loss to the Cowboys on Thursday.

Luvu joined Will Harris and Bobby Wagner as the three Commanders defenders to play all 92 snaps during their Christmas Day loss. The eighth-year pro is up to 85 combined tackles through 16 regular-season games, and he would need a big day against the Eagles in Week 18 in order to reach the tackling century mark for the third time in his NFL career.

Harris logged 10 tackles (five solo) during the Commanders' 30-23 loss to the Cowboys on Thursday.

Harris recorded career highs in tackles and defensive snaps (92) to finish tied with Bobby Wagner for the most stops on the Commanders on Christmas Day. Harris has accumulated 24 tackles (13 solo), including 1.0 sacks, and two pass defenses in the five games since Washington's Week 12 bye. With the Commanders eliminated from postseason contention, Week 18 against the Eagles is Harris' last opportunity to pad his stats.

Reddick was evaluated for a possible concussion in Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Dolphins, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.

Reddick exited the contest late in the fourth quarter, and he was ultimately checked for a concussion. More information on his status will likely come in the near future.

Wagner logged 10 tackles (five solo), including 0.5 sacks, and one pass defense during the Commanders' 30-23 loss to the Cowboys on Thursday.

Wagner played all 92 defensive snaps Christmas Day, which was the second-most in his career (94 defensive snaps in Week 7 of the 2016 season). He combined with Jer'Zhan Newton for a five-yard sack on Dak Prescott midway through the third quarter, bringing Wagner up 2.5 sacks over his last four games. Wagner has accumulated 157 combined tackles through 16 regular-season games, which is currently the fifth most in his 14-year NFL career. Week 18 against the Eagles is Wagner's last opportunity to add to his tackling total.

Davis (concussion) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's contest against New England.

Davis exited the contest after suffering a blow to the head, and his day has now officially come to an end due to a concussion. With Davis now in concussion protocol, it's possible his season has come to an end with just one game remaining.

Hall was forced out of Sunday's game against the Patriots with a knee injury.

Before his exit from the contest, Hall carried 14 times for 111 yards and a TD and caught two of his three targets for 18 yards. Meanwhile, Isaiah Davis was ruled out of the remainder of the contest due to a concussion, leaving Khalil Herbert and Kene Nwangwu to handle the Jets' RB carries as Sunday's game winds down.

Newton recorded nine tackles (three solo), including 3.0 sacks, during the Commanders' 30-23 loss to the Cowboys on Thursday.

Newton took down Dak Prescott behind the line of scrimmage four times Thursday, two of which were solo sacks. Newton's 3.0 sacks were the most in his two-year NFL career and the first time that he has recorded double-digit sacks in a game. The 2024 second-rounder is up to 38 tackles (21 solo), including 5.0 sacks, one pass defense and one forced fumble through 16 regular-season games.

Muhammad posted 2.0 sacks during the Lions' 23-10 loss to the Vikings on Thursday.

Muhammad sacked Max Brosmer twice for losses of 10 and five yards in the second and third quarters, respectively. Muhammad's efforts Christmas Day brought him to 11.0 sacks through 16 regular-season games, which marks the first time in his NFL career that he has recorded double-digit sacks in a season. His last opportunity to add to that total is Week 18 against the Bears.

Davis is being evaluated for a possible concussion in Sunday's contest against the Patriots.

Davis suffered a head injury in the second half, and his status for the rest of the game is now in question. In his absence, Khalil Herbert will stand to operate as the team's No. 2 option at running back behind starter Breece Hall.
