Jacksonville Jaguars RB Bhayshul Tuten (finger) fully participated in practice Wednesday, Dec. 31.

Former Dallas Cowboys CB Trevon Diggs was claimed off waivers by the Green Bay Packers Wednesday, Dec. 31, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.
| Footballguys view: The Cowboys cut ties with Diggs, and he's not the player he once was. However, Diggs can help a Packers team bound for the Wild Card Round in about 10 days or so. |

Washington Commanders RB Jacory Croskey-Merritt (illness) did not participate in practice Wednesday, Dec. 31.
| Footballguys view: We'll see if Croskey-Merritt gets better by the end of the week. If he does play against the Eagles on Sunday, we've got him in the RB3 range as the split with Chris Rodriguez continues. |
New York Giants LB Abdul Carter (illness), CB Cor'Dale Flott (knee), S Jevon Holland (concussion, knee), WR Jalin Hyatt (illness), TE Theo Johnson (illness), OG Evan Neal (neck) and WR Wan'Dale Robinson (rib) did not participate in practice Wednesday, Dec. 31.

New York Giants WR Wan'Dale Robinson (rib) did not participate in practice Wednesday, Dec. 31.
| Footballguys view: Robinson caught 11-of-14 targets for 113 yards in the Giants' Week 17 win over the Raiders. He's likely a bit sore, and rib injuries come down to pain tolerance. We like Robinson as a WR3/flex if he plays against the Cowboys on Sunday. |
New York Giants TE Theo Johnson (illness) did not participate in practice Wednesday, Dec. 31.
| Footballguys view: It's too early to tell if Johnson is going to be available for Sunday's game against the Cowboys. He's a TE3 if he does play in Week 18. |
Los Angeles Rams TE Tyler Higbee (ankle) had his 21-day practice window opened Wednesday, Dec. 31.

Buffalo Bills DT Ed Oliver (knee, biceps) recently underwent knee surgery and will be sidelined longer than initially expected, according to head coach Sean McDermott. McDermott said Oliver may have a chance to return to the lineup if the Bills make a long playoff run.

Las Vegas Raiders QB Geno Smith will not play in Week 18, according to head coach Pete Carroll. No starter has been named yet.
| Footballguys view: It's likely Kenny Pickett starting against the Chiefs in Week 18. Get ready for Pickett versus Chris Olodokun. |

Free-agent RB Sincere McCormick (Broncos) was signed to the Minnesota Vikings practice squad Wednesday, Dec. 31.
Link to storyMinnesota Vikings QB J.J. McCarthy (hand) will practice after a 'positive day,' according to head coach Kevin O'Connell.
| Footballguys view: Max Brosmer will play if McCarthy can't go. He's trending in the right direction, but this will come down to grip strength for the second-year quarterback. Most Vikings fans are done defending McCarthy, but a good game in a meaningless Week 18 game could help the vibes around his 2026 outlook. |
Buffalo Bills TE Dawson Knox (knee) was limited in practice on Wednesday, Dec. 31.
| Footballguys view: Knox and Dalton Kincaid are both battling knee injuries. We may see one or both get rest in Week 18 even if they're ready to play. The Jets shouldn't put up much of a fight, and the Bills are only battling for playoff seeding with a Wild Card spot already locked up. |
Dawson Knox player page
Buffalo Bills TE Dalton Kincaid (knee) was limited in practice on Wednesday, Dec. 31.
| Footballguys view: Kincaid is getting better, but he's no lock to play in Week 18 against the Jets. We could see the team rest him for the Wild Card Round as they're just playing for seeding in the regular season finale. |

The New England Patriots plan to play their starters in Week 18 as they play for the number one seed, according to head coach Mike Vrabel.
| Footballguys view: The Patriots need the Broncos to lose against the Chargers in order to be in position for the no.1 seed. With Justin Herbert not playing, it seems like the Broncos can wrap up that first-round bye on Sunday. Anything can happen, but the Patriots need to win and get help in order to be the top seed in the AFC. |
Mike Vrabel player page
Washington Commanders QB Marcus Mariota (hand, quad) is doubtful for Week 18, according to head coach Dan Quinn.
| Footballguys view: Nothing has changed with this Mariota injury situation. That means Josh Johnson is going to start for the Commanders in the season finale. |

Green Bay Packers QB Malik Willis (shoulder) will be limited in practice on Wednesday, Dec. 31.
| Footballguys view: Jordan Love is working his way through the league concussion protocol. The Packers plan to rest their starters against the Vikings in Week 18. They are locked into the no.7 seed in the NFC bracket, so Willis is likely to start if he's healthy enough to play. |
Indianapolis Colts QB Anthony Richardson (eye) continues to recover from an orbital fracture and an injury to his right eye. He returned to practice in recent weeks, but he remains on the Reserve/Injured list. He is not expected to be activated prior to the Week 18 game against the Houston Texans.
| Footballguys view: The future is unknown with the former first-round pick. He's got physical talent, but that's not rare in this league. Richardson needs to stay healthy and prove to himself (and the league) that he can be a franchise quarterback. He's under contract through 2026. |

Link to storyGreen Bay Packers QB Jordan Love (concussion) remains in the protocol, but he'll practice Wednesday, Dec. 31.
| Footballguys view: Let's see if Love can get through league protocol. That will include practicing in a limited fashion and then seeing if there's any lingering effects. |

Buffalo Bills QB Josh Allen (foot) sat out of practice Wednesday, Dec. 31, but he's trending in the right direction to play in Week 18, according to head coach Sean McDermott.
| Footballguys view: We'll know more about Allen's status for Sunday's game against the Jets later in the week. It sounds like Wednesday was just a maintenance day for the superstar quarterback. |
Josh Allen player page
Arizona Cardinals WR Marvin Harrison Jr. (heel) has been ruled out for Week 18.
| Footballguys view: It's a disappointing end to a disappointing season for Harrison. This was an injury-riddled season for Harrison, and he finishes his sophomore campaign with 41 catches for 608 yards and four receiving touchdowns. Michael Wilson has been a breakout player for the Cardinals this year, and he's in line for a large workload (low-end WR1 for Fantasy GMs) in Week 18 against the Rams on Sunday. |
San Francisco 49ers TE George Kittle (ankle) is expected to play in Week 18, according to general manager John Lynch.
| Footballguys view: Jake Tonges filled in admirably last week with Kittle missing Week 17. It sounds like Kittle will be ready to go against the Seahawks in Week 18. If Kittle plays Saturday night, he's a TE1 for Fantasy GMs in Week 18 championship games. |

Detroit Lions C Kingsley Eguakun was signed off the practice squad by the Cleveland Browns Wednesday, Dec. 31.
Link to storyBaltimore Ravens QB Lamar Jackson (back) will practice Wednesday, Dec. 31.
| Footballguys view: It's a big one on Sunday with the Ravens and Steelers battling for a playoff spot and the AFC North title. Even though Jackson missed last week's win over the Packers, he seems to be on track for this incredibly important contest. |
