Ferguson won't return to Thursday's contest at Washington due to a calf injury, Joe Hoyt of The Dallas Morning News reports.

The Cowboys made the announcement not long after halftime, but prior to that point there was no indication Ferguson was dealing with a health concern. In any case, he'll finish Week 17 with one catch (on two targets) for six yards and one touchdown. Luke Schoonmaker and Brevyn Spann-Ford will be Dallas' options at tight end for the rest of Thursday's game.

Jones (head) has been cleared to return to Thursday's Week 17 game against the Cowboys.

Jones underwent a concussion evaluation during the second quarter but was cleared to return before the end of the half. He should be good to go as one of the Commanders' primary outside cornerbacks for the remainder of the contest, barring another exit.

Kincaid (knee) was listed as a non-participant on Thursday's practice estimate.

Kincaid also was listed as a 'DNP' in Wednesday's walkthrough, which goes for fellow TE Dawson Knox (knee). Friday's final injury report thus will be telling with regard to the duo's chances of playing Sunday against the Eagles, but it's worth noting that last week Kincaid was also deemed a non-participant Wednesday and Thursday before working fully Friday and heading into Week 16 action minus an injury designation.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
