  • Andrew Thomas OT | NYG

    Giants' Andrew Thomas: Unable to play Sunday

    Thomas (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game versus the Raiders.

    Thomas was unable to practice all week after suffering a hamstring injury in the Giants' Week 16 loss to the Vikings. Week 17 will mark the third game the 26-year-old has missed this season. With Thomas out, Marcus Mbow will likely start in his place.

  • 49ers' Kurtis Rourke: Won't return Week 17

    Rourke (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Chicago, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

    Rourke is in the final stages of his recovery from a torn ACL that he suffered during his final collegiate season at Indiana. He's not quite ready to return, but given his 21-day practice window opened Dec. 8, he would need to be activated from the NFI list ahead of the 49ers' Week 18 tilt against the Seahawks. If Rourke is not activated, then he would not be available for the 49ers' regular-season finale or their postseason run.

  • Titans' Micah Robinson: Questionable due to illness

    Robinson (illness) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Saints, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.

    Robinson was a new addition to Friday's injury report with an illness that forced the cornerback to sit out practice. The 23-year-old is primarily a special-teamer, and his potential absence would likely thrust recent acquisition Kaiir Elam into a role for the unit.

  • 49ers' Renardo Green: Won't play vs. Chicago

    Green (neck) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bears, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

    Green will miss a second consecutive game due to a neck injury, so Week 18 against the Seahawks will be his last opportunity to play in a regular-season game. Darrell Luter will likely start opposite Deommodore Lenoir at outside corner in Green's absence.

  • D.J. Davidson DT | WAS

    Giants' D.J. Davidson: Unable to play Sunday

    Davidson (neck) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Raiders.

    Davidson played just six snaps in the Giants' Week 16 loss to the Vikings and was unable to practice all week heading into Sunday's game against the Raiders. In a rotational role, the 28-year-old accounted for nine tackles (six solo) and one pass breakup. In Davidson's absence, Darius Alexander will likely have a larger role on the defensive line.

  • Titans' Oluwafemi Oladejo: Won't play Sunday

    Oladejo (lower leg), who remains on IR, is ruled out for Sunday's game against the Saints, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

    Oladejo has his 21-day practice window opened Dec. 17 and has been a limited participant since, including during Friday's session. His final chance to retake the field this season will come Week 18 against the Jaguars. The rookie second-round pick may need to practice in full prior to that contest in order to prove he's ready to come off IR.

  • Luke Goedeke OT | TB

    Buccaneers' Luke Goedeke: Ready for Week 17

    Goedeke (ankle) doesn't have an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Dolphins.

    Goedeke spent the week dealing with an ankle injury he picked up in last Sunday's loss to the Panthers, practicing in a limited capacity both Wednesday and Friday. The right tackle's limited participation has been deemed sufficient enough for him to avoid an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game, and he is set to make his eighth consecutive start at right tackle.

  • Steelers' Isaac Seumalo: Questionable vs. Cleveland

    Seumalo (triceps) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Browns, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

    Seumalo was unable to play against the Lions in Week 16 due to a triceps injury he sustained against the Dolphins in Week 15. He was limited in practice all week, but if he's unable to play Sunday, then Spencer Anderson would likely start at left guard for a second consecutive game.

  • Matt Lee C | CIN

    Bengals' Matt Lee: Won't return for Week 17

    Lee (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Charlie Goldsmith of the Dayton Daily News reports.

    Lee's 21-day practice window opened Wednesday, but the center is not quite ready to return to the field yet. The 24-year-old was able to log limited practice sessions throughout the week, but with the Bengals already eliminated from playoff contention, they are likely taking Lee's return slowly and safely. Ted Karras is set to once again start at center for Sunday's game.

  • 49ers' Ricky Pearsall: Listed as questionable

    Pearsall (ankle/knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game versus the Bears, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

    Pearsall didn't play in Week 16 at Indianapolis due to an ankle sprain and also an aggravation of the PCL injury that sidelined him for Weeks 5-10. He practiced in a limited capacity Wednesday and Thursday, and coach Kyle Shanahan told Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com on Friday that Pearsall made it through the week "OK." In the end, Pearsall's status for Week 17 will be confirmed about 90 minutes before Sunday's 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff.
