Javonte Williams RB | DAL
Cowboys' Javonte Williams: Exits with shoulder injury
Williams suffered a shoulder injury during Thursday's game in Washington, Joe Hoyt of The Dallas Morning News reports.
After his four-yard touchdown run early in the second quarter, Williams didn't receive another touch before the Cowboys deemed him questionable to return. If he's unable to get back into the contest, he'll end Week 17 action with 13 carries for 54 yards and the aforementioned score and no catches (on two targets). Malik Davis should garner most of the RBs reps for as long as Williams is sidelined, but FB Hunter Luepke also is on hand for snaps.

Josh Allen QB | BUF
Bills' Josh Allen: Estimated as limited Thursday
Allen (foot) was listed as limited on Thursday's practice estimate.
Allen also was deemed limited in Wednesday's walkthrough, and the Bills didn't hold practice Thursday, with the QB now having one more chance to log a full listing before the Bills' Week 17 injury designations are assigned Friday. For his part, Allen plans to play Sunday against the Eagles, per Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com, but it remains to be seen if he ends up listed as questionable for the contest or fully cleared to face 10-5 Philadelphia.

Tyler Biadasz C | LAC
Commanders' Tyler Biadasz: Questionable to return
Biadasz (knee) is questionable to return to Washington's matchup versus the Cowboys on Thursday.
Biadasz sustained a knee injury in the second quarter and was seen limping to the sideline and then the locker room with the help of trainers. In Biadasz's absence, Nick Allegretti has shifted over to center, while Andrew Wylie is now in at right guard.

Joey Bosa DE | BUF
Bills' Joey Bosa: Limited in Thursday's walkthrough
Bosa (hamstring) was a limited participant in Thursday's walkthrough practice.
A hamstring injury prevented Bosa from playing against the Bengals in Week 14, but the veteran pass rusher has managed to play through the issue in each of the Bills' last two games. He should be able to suit up against the Eagles on Sunday, but his practice participation Friday will determine whether he enters Week 17 with an injury designation. Bosa has logged 27 tackles (16 solo), including 5.0 sacks, two pass defenses and five forced fumbles through 14 regular-season games.

Devin Culp TE | TB
Buccaneers' Devin Culp: Looks to be past illness
Culp (illness) was listed as a full practice participant on Thursday's estimated report, Brianna Dix of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
The second-year tight end popped up on Wednesday's injury report due to an illness, but he appears to be over the issue and is on track to play against the Dolphins on Sunday. He's not been a big part of the Buccaneers' offense this season and was a healthy scratch for Tampa Bay's Week 16 loss to Carolina.

Darren Waller TE | MIA
Dolphins' Darren Waller: Listed as LP on Thursday
Waller (groin/rest) was deemed to be limited on Thursday's practice estimation, Brianna Dix of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
Waller didn't practice Wednesday, so his designation of limited one day later -- though Miami didn't actually practice Thursday -- is promising. It has to be noted that the Dolphins are indicating both Waller's lingering groin issue and rest as the reasons for his statuses so far this week, and the veteran tight end has consistently had his practice reps managed since returning from a four-game absence Week 13. With that in mind, the expectation should be that he'll be available for Sunday's matchup against Tampa Bay.

Chris Godwin WR | TB
Buccaneers' Chris Godwin: Gets rest day Thursday
Godwin (fibula/rest) was listed as a non-participant on Thursday's estimated injury report, per Brianna Dix of the Buccaneers' official site.
After Godwin was limited at Wednesday's practice due to his lingering fibula injury, he received a rest day one day later. Friday's practice report will reveal if he's able to enter the weekend without a designation for Sunday's game at Miami. Godwin has compiled a modest 19-192-1 line on 28 targets over the last five contests after sitting out Weeks 6-11.
-
Tyrel Dodson LB | MIA
Dolphins' Tyrel Dodson: Estimated as limited Thursday
Dodson (chest) was listed as a limited practice participant on Thursday's estimated report, Brianna Dix of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
Dodson is working through a chest injury that he likely picked up during the Dolphins' Week 16 loss to the Bengals. He would likely avoid an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers if he were to practice in full Friday. Dodson has accumulated 116 combined tackles through 14 regular-season games, which is the first time in his six-year NFL career that he has reached the tackling century mark.

Jourdan Lewis CB | JAC
Jaguars' Jourdan Lewis: Lands on IR
The Jaguars placed Lewis (foot) on injured reserve Thursday.
Lewis' move to injured reserve shouldn't come as a surprise, since the team announced earlier in the day that he would undergo season-ending foot surgery. Montaric Brown (neck) will take over as Jacksonville's starting slot cornerback going forward, while Lewis will shift his focus to getting healthy for the 2026 campaign.

Jonathan Jones DB | PHI
Commanders' Jonathan Jones: Being evaluated for concussion
Jones is undergoing a concussion evaluation and is questionable to return to Thursday's game against Dallas.
Jones was deemed questionable midway through the second quarter. Antonio Hamilton figures to get more defensive snaps if Jones is unable to return to action.
