Drake London WR | ATL
Falcons' Drake London: Listed as limited Thursday
London (knee) was listed as a limited participant on Thursday's estimated practice report, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.
London made his return from a four-game absence due to a sprained PCL in his left knee this past Sunday at Arizona, a contest in which he logged a 69 percent snap share and gathered in three of eight targets for 27 yards. His listed practice restrictions Thursday likely are related to maintenance, and he'll have two more chances to get back to full this week before the Falcons potentially give him a designation for Monday's contest against the Rams.

Rome Odunze WR | CHI
Bears' Rome Odunze: Another DNP on Thursday
Odunze (foot) was listed as a non-participant on Thursday's estimated injury report.
Odunze last took part in practice Dec. 12 due to a stress fracture in his foot that has bothered him for a good portion of the season. Because the Bears didn't hold a session Thursday, he'll have only one more opportunity for on-field work this week before the team potentially makes a ruling on his status ahead of Sunday's game at San Francisco. Fellow WR Luther Burden (ankle) was listed as limited for a second day in a row, so Chicago may be getting some reinforcements in the passing game if the rookie second-round pick is able to put an end to a one-game absence.

A.J. Brown WR | PHI
Eagles' A.J. Brown: Listed as DNP on Thursday
Brown (teeth) was listed as a non-participant on Thursday's practice estimate.
Brown underwent a dental procedure this week and now has been listed as a 'DNP' on both the Eagles' first two Week 17 injury reports. He thus will have just one more chance to mix into drills Friday before the team potentially tags him with a designation ahead of Sunday's game at Buffalo. Brown has been productive over the last five contests, with a cumulative 35-478-4 line on 49 targets during that span.

Tom Kennedy WR | DET
Lions' Tom Kennedy: Ready for Thursday's game
Kennedy (abdomen) is active for Thursday's game against the Vikings.
Kennedy was initially listed as questionable for Week 17, but he's been cleared to suit up Christmas Day. He'll handle his usual role as Detroit's top kick returner while also contributing as a depth option at wide receiver.

Amon-Ra St. Brown WR | DET
Lions' Amon-Ra St. Brown: Active in Week 17
St. Brown (knee) is active for Thursday's game at Minnesota.
Coach Dan Campbell told Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press on Tuesday that St. Brown was dealing with "a little irritation" in his knee that held him out of Monday's walkthrough before the wide receiver capped the week with back-to-back limited walkthroughs. The Lions then listed St. Brown as questionable for Week 17 action, but Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported Thursday morning that the wideout was expected to play, which now has been confirmed. Since he missed most of a Thanksgiving matchup with the Packers due to an ankle injury, St. Brown has suited up in each of the last three contests, accruing a 23-310-2 line on 36 targets during that span.

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.

Jalen Tolbert WR | MIA
Cowboys' Jalen Tolbert: Active on Christmas Day
Tolbert is not among Dallas' inactives for Thursday's Week 17 game against the Commanders, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.
Tolbert was a healthy scratch each of the previous three weeks, but he'll be available Christmas Day. His opportunity comes as a result of Ryan Flournoy missing the contest due to a knee injury. Tolbert may still have a hard time getting on the field often, as CeeDee Lamb, George Pickens, KaVontae Turpin and perhaps Jonathan Mingo are all above him in the WR pecking order.

Jonathan Mingo WR | DAL
Cowboys' Jonathan Mingo: Could have bigger role Thursday
Mingo is not among Dallas' inactives for Thursday's Week 17 game against the Commanders, per Todd Archer of ESPN.com, and he could see an increased role with Ryan Flournoy (knee) out of action.
Mingo has had a quiet season so far, tallying one catch on three targets for 25 yards over four games. He'll still be behind CeeDee Lamb, George Pickens and KaVontae Turpin in the WR pecking order Thursday, but Mingo could get a few more looks due to Flournoy's absence. Mingo has been a bit more involved of late anyway, notching 14 offensive snaps Week 15 and eight offensive snaps last Sunday against the Chargers.

Ryan Flournoy WR | DAL
Cowboys' Ryan Flournoy: Inactive on Christmas
Flournoy (knee) is listed as inactive Thursday at Washington, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.
Flournoy was forced out of this past Sunday's loss to the Chargers in the first half due to a knee injury and wasn't able to return. He proceeded to be limited at Monday's walkthrough, but a lack of on-field work Tuesday and Wednesday seemingly forecast his imminent inactive status. With Flournoy out Week 17, KaVontae Turpin, Jonathan Mingo and Jalen Tolbert will be the tertiary wide receivers behind starters CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens. Next up for Flournoy is a Week 18 road matchup with the Giants.

Amon-Ra St. Brown WR | DET
Lions' Amon-Ra St. Brown: Expected to suit up vs. Vikings
St. Brown (knee), who is officially listed as questionable for Thursday's game against Minnesota, is expected to play, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
St. Brown is managing irritation in his knee and put forth a listed DNP/LP/LP practice slate in preparation for Week 17 action. Though his status likely won't be made official until roughly 90 minutes prior to Thursday's 4:30 p.m. ET kickoff, Rapoport said it's expected that the star wideout will be a full-go on the road versus the Vikings. St. Brown is already up to 11 receiving touchdowns across 15 regular-season appearances, meaning he only needs one more such score to tie the career-high mark he set in 2024.
