Sam Kamara LB | CLE
Browns' Sam Kamara: Questionable to play vs. Pittsburgh
Kamara (elbow) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Steelers, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Kamara was limited in practice all week due to an elbow injury that prevented him from playing against the Bills in Week 16. If he's unable to play Sunday, then Mike Hall and Adin Huntington would see more rotational snaps on the defensive line behind Shelby Harris and Mason Graham.

Yetur Gross-Matos DE | SF
49ers' Yetur Gross-Matos: Ready for Week 17
Gross-Matos (knee) doesn't have an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Bears, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.
Gross-Matos managed to log consecutive limited practice sessions to end the week. The coaching staff seems to have determined that those practices were sufficient enough to clear the defensive end of any injury designation ahead of Sunday's contest. Gross-Matos should be all set to suit up as a rotational defensive end behind starters Bryce Huff and Sam Okuayinonu.

Daniel Scott SAF | IND
Colts' Daniel Scott: Ruled out again
Scott (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Jaguars.
Scott's practice window opened Dec. 18, and he will stay on injured reserve yet another week. The defensive back suffered a knee injury in Week 4 against the Rams and has not played a game since the injury. The 27-year-old was a full participant in practice throughout the week, so his chances of returning in Week 18 to bolster the Colts' special teams unit seem high.

Charles Woods DB | NE
Patriots' Charles Woods: Questionable for Sunday
Woods (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Jets.
Woods logged three straight limited practices heading into Week 17 after suffering an ankle injury in Week 16 against the Ravens. The 25-year-old has played mostly on special teams in 2025, accounting for nine tackles (seven solo) and one pass breakup in 12 games played.

Michael Hall Jr. DT | CLE
Browns' Mike Hall: Cleared to play Week 17
Hall (illness) does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Steelers, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
An illness prevented Hall from playing against the Bills in Week 16, but he was able to shed any sort of injury designation for Sunday's AFC North tilt after logging a full practice Friday. In the six games since the Browns' Week 9 bye, Hall has logged nine tackles (three solo), including 1.5 sacks.

Winston Reid LB | CLE
Browns' Winston Reid: Won't be activated for Week 17
Reid (back) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Steelers, Kelsey Russo of the Browns' official site reports.
Reid's practice window opened Dec. 17, but the linebacker has been unable to get back on the field since suffering a back injury in the Browns' preseason finale against the Rams. Now that he has been ruled out for Week 17, the 26-year-old's only shot to play regular-season football this year will be in a Week 18 matchup against the Bengals.

Anthony Firkser TE | DET
Lions' Anthony Firkser: Blanked in Week 17
Firkser failed to reel in his only target in Thursday's 23-10 loss to the Vikings.
Firkser was unable to secure a pass for the second time in three weeks and the third time over six contests since making his season debut Nov. 23. The tight end once again split time with Shane Zylstra in Week 17, and Firkser did garner a target while Zylstra did not. Firkser will have one more chance to reach the end zone for the first time since 2021 when the Lions travel to face the Bears in Week 18.

Raheem Mostert RB | LV
Raiders' Raheem Mostert: Questionable for Week 17
Mostert (ankle/knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Giants.
Mostert was listed as a DNP for the first two practices of Week 17 prep due to ankle and knee injuries, but the veteran running back was able to practice in a limited capacity Friday to earn the questionable tag for Sunday's home game. If Mostert is unable to play, then Tre Tucker and Dylan Laube would be the main returners on kickoffs. Laube and Zamir White would also be in line for more rotational snaps out of the backfield behind Ashton Jeanty.

Shane Zylstra TE | DET
Lions' Shane Zylstra: No production in Week 17
Zylstra did not garner a target in Thursday's 23-10 loss to Minnesota.
Zylstra went without a target for the second time in three games since returning from injured reserve. The tight end maintained a slight lead in offensive workload over Anthony Firkser, logging 42 offensive snaps to Firkser's 35, though the latter did garner a target. Zylstra will look to finish off the regular season on a higher note when Detroit heads to Chicago in Week 18.

River Cracraft WR | WAS
River Cracraft: Reverts to practice squad
Cracraft reverted to the Commanders' practice squad Friday.
Cracraft made his regular-season debut Thursday, logging a single special-teams snap as a gunner. Now back on the practice squad, the wide receiver is eligible to be elevated for the Commanders' Week 18 contest against the Eagles.
