KaVontae Turpin WR | DAL
Cowboys' KaVontae Turpin: Suiting up Week 18
Turpin (illness) is active for Sunday's game against the Commanders, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.
The reigning USFL MVP and Pro Bowl returner will therefore sidestep inactive status for the finale after being added to the injury report Friday. Turpin should continue to operate in his usual special-teams capacity versus Washington, although he perhaps could also see some snaps on offense if the Cowboys sit some of their starters early in the regular-season finale.

Jalen Tolbert WR | MIA
Cowboys' Jalen Tolbert: Won't suit up Week 18
Tolbert (coach's decision) has been ruled inactive prior to Sunday's game against the Commanders, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.
Tolbert will finish the 2022 regular as a healthy scratch for the fifth week in a row. With veteran wideout T.Y. Hilton taking on a bigger role in Dallas' receiving corps, it's likely Tolbert could remain a nonfactor heading into the 2022 playoffs.

Gunner Olszewski WR | NYG
Steelers' Gunner Olszewski: Doubtful to return
Olszewski is doubtful to return to Sunday's game against the Browns due to a knee injury, Burt Lauten reports.
Olszewski logged two carries for four yards before departing this weekend's matchup versus Cleveland with a knee injury. Steven Sims and Miles Boykin should both receive additional snaps in the second half behind starters Diontae Johnson and George Pickens.

Tyler Lockett WR | LV
Seahawks' Tyler Lockett: Playing Sunday
Lockett (shin) is listed as active Sunday versus the Rams.
After sitting out Week 16 due to a broken left index finger, Lockett returned to action last Sunday against the Jets but was in and out of the contest due to a shin injury. The Seahawks held him out of practice Wednesday and Thursday with the same health concern, but his return to drills Friday as a limited participant was followed by coach Pete Carroll telling Curtis Crabtree of Fox 13 Seattle that Lockett looked good and was slated to play Week 18. With his status now confirmed, Lockett still could operate with some restrictions for a second consecutive game, even though the team must win (with a Packers loss Sunday night) to reach the postseason.

Hill (ankle) has returned to Sunday's game against the Jets, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Drake London WR | ATL
Falcons' Drake London: Exits with foot injury
London left Sunday's game against the Buccaneers due to a foot injury, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.
According to McElhaney, London went to the locker room shortly before the Falcons deemed him questionable to return. If London is unable to do so, he'll finish Week 18 with one catch (on two targets) for 26 yards.
