Miami signed Edwards to the 53-man roster from Washington's practice squad Friday in preparation for Sunday's season finale against the Patriots.

Edwards could get a chance to contribute out of the backfield behind Jaylen Wright and Ollie Gordon versus New England, with No. 1 RB De'Von Achane (shoulder) having missed three straight practices in preparation for Week 18 and considered a game-time decision. The undrafted rookie out of Michigan flashed during the preseason while with the Jets, but he couldn't stick with New York for the regular season. He inked with the Commanders' practice squad in late August and has remained there without being elevated for a contest this season before now being poached by the Dolphins.

Jets head coach Aaron Glenn said Friday that Davis (concussion) will not suit up for Sunday's season finale against the Bills.

Davis' absence will pave the way for Kene Nwangwu and Khalil Herbert to handle increased roles behind Breece Hall (knee, questionable) during Sunday's road divisional matchup. A 2024 fifth-round pick, Davis compiled 43 carries for 236 yards and one touchdown across 16 regular-season appearances, while also securing 21 of 28 targets for 186 yards and compiling 323 yards as a kick returner. New York's backfield will be interesting to monitor for the 2026 campaign, as Hall is an impending unrestricted free agent, while Davis and Braelon Allen (knee) both remain under contract through 2027.

Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel said Achane (shoulder) will not practice Friday and will be considered a game-time decision for Sunday's season finale against the Patriots, Omar Kelly of the Miami Herald reports.

Achane is seemingly trending toward receiving an official 'questionable' tag with the release of Friday's injury report, though McDaniel noted that Miami typically holds players who are unable to close the practice week with any on-field reps out of game action, per Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald. Meanwhile, the Dolphins are placing TE Darren Waller (groin) on IR on Friday, while WRJaylen Waddle (ribs) will practice in a limited capacity and be listed as questionable. With Miami already well out of playoff contention, the team could simply opt to take a cautious approach and preserve Achane's health. In that case, Jaylen Wright would stand to lead the team's backfield Week 18, while rookie Ollie Gordon would step into the No. 2 role, with newcomer Donovan Edwards also potentially available to mix in.

Brown (illness) returned to practice Friday, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.

After missing practice both Wednesday and Thursday, Brown's return to the field Friday has him trending in the right direction as Sunday's season finale against the Browns approaches. The Bengals' final injury report of the season will relay whether Brown heads into the weekend with a designation or fully cleared for Week 18 action.

Davis (calf/eye) did not participate in Thursday's practice, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

It's the second straight DNP to begin Week 18 prep for Davis, who rumbled for 103 yards on 20 carries against Washington on Christmas Day after No. 1 RB Javonte Williams (shoulder/neck) departed early. Williams has also been held out of practice the first two days this week, so the Cowboys' backfield could be severely depleted for the season finale against the Giants on Sunday. If neither Davis nor Williams is able to suit up in that game, Jaydon Blue figures to take on lead-back duties.

Williams (shoulder/neck) didn't practice Thursday, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

Williams hasn't practiced this week due to the shoulder/neck injury that he's been dealing with since a Week 15 matchup with the Vikings. He's still racked up 39 touches for 188 yards and two rushing TDs during that span, while No. 2 RB Malik Davis has turned his 38 touches into 163 total yards and one TD on the ground. Davis (eye/calf) also hasn't practiced this week, so rookie Jaydon Blue is the only healthy player at the position on the active roster.

Vidal (neck) practiced fully Thursday, Eric Smith of the Chargers' official reports.

Meanwhile, Omarion Hampton (ankle) didn't practice Thursday, and Hassan Haskins (concussion) was limited, so at this stage the composition of the Chargers' Week 18 backfield has yet to be determined. In the wake of his full practice, Vidal is on track to be available Sunday against the Broncos, but if the team elects to rest or limit key players apart from QB Justin Herbert (who will give way to Trey Lance this weekend), it's possible that Jaret Patterson and/or Amar Johnson will be elevated from the practice squad and see their share of touches alongside Vidal in Los Angeles' regular-season finale.

Hampton (ankle) didn't practice Thursday, Eric Smith of the Chargers' official site reports.

Hampton also logged a 'DNP' on Wednesday, and considering that the Chargers are planning to rest QB Justin Herbert (hand) in Week 18, it's possible that they'll err on the side of caution with Hampton, with the team's looming playoff run in mind. In any case, Friday's final injury report will reveal whether Hampton has a chance to be in uniform Sunday against the Broncos or instead will have to wait until wild-card weekend to see his next game action.

Corum (ankle) didn't take part in Thursday's practice, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.

Corum made an early exit from Monday's loss in Atlanta due to an ankle injury that so far hasn't allowed him to mix into any drills in the meantime. He'll have one more chance to do so, or else he and fellow RB Kyren Williams (ankle, LP so far this week) may enter the weekend with designations for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

Williams (ankle) practiced in a limited fashion Thursday, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.

Both of the Rams' top two running backs are dealing with health concerns at the moment, but Williams at least has been able to log some on-field work, as opposed to Blake Corum (ankle), who was a non-participant Wednesday and Thursday. Ultimately, Friday's injury report will reveal if Williams and/or Corum carry designations ahead of Sunday's contest against the Cardinals.
