White recorded eight tackles (four solo) in Las Vegas' loss to the Giants on Sunday.

White has started all 16 games this season and has posted a career-high 168 tackles (92 solo), including 1.0 sacks, three pass breakups, including one interception, and one forced fumble on 100 percent of the Raiders' defensive snaps. Among linebackers, only Bobby Wagner (1,068) has logged more defensive snaps than White's 1,061 through Week 17. Only Jordyn Brooks (174) has recorded more tackles.

Wharton (hamstring) was estimated to be a full participant in Tuesday's walk-through practice, Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer reports.

Wharton logging a full estimated practice ahead of Saturday's divisional showdown is a huge step up from the defensive tackle's participation in prior weeks. The 27-year-old is on pace to play in his first game since Week 14, and he has two more opportunities to show consistent reps before Saturday's contest.

Bush recorded nine tackles (five solo) and one forced fumble in the Browns' win over the Steelers on Sunday.

Bush has recorded at least nine tackles in three of the past four games and four of his last six, as he's up to a career-high 111 tackles on the season, including 57 solo and 2.0 sacks. Bush has also logged seven pass breakups, including two interceptions, one of which was returned for a touchdown. Bush has forced a pair of fumbles and has recovered one fumble across 16 starts.

Garrett recorded one solo tackle in Cleveland's 13-6 win over Pittsburgh on Sunday.

The Steelers pulled out all the stops against Garrett and largely kept him off the stat sheet, as he remains one sack shy of the single-season record. In two games against Pittsburgh this season, Garrett has just three tackles (one solo) and zero sacks. He'll get a Week 18 date with the Bengals to try and secure the elusive final sack. As it stands right now, Garrett has 59 tackles (42 solo), including 22.0 sacks, three forced fumbles and one pass breakup across 16 starts this season.

Delpit recorded eight tackles (seven solo) and one forced fumble in the Browns' win over the Steelers on Sunday.

The eight tackles were Delpit's second-most in a game this season. The 27-year-old has appeared in all 16 games, making 15 starts, and has logged 79 tackles (43 solo), including a career-best 2.0 sacks, four pass breakups, including one interception, two forced fumbles and a pair of fumble recoveries on 96 percent of the Browns' defensive snaps.

Head coach Dave Canales said that Dowdle was held out of Tuesday's walk-through practice due to a sore toe, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

Canales termed Dowdle's absence as a rest day and labeled him day-to-day, which suggests the Panthers aren't too concerned about the running back's availability for Saturday's regular-season finale at Tampa Bay. The Panthers will wait and see if Dowdle is able to get back on the practice field in some fashion Wednesday and/or Thursday before determining his status for Saturday. Given that the NFC South title may be at stake in the game, expect Dowdle to do everything in his power to suit up against the Buccaneers, and he also has plenty of financial incentive to be in the lineup -- he needs just seven more scrimmage yards to trigger a $1 million bonus in his contract.

The Seahawks moved White (groin) to injured reserve Tuesday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.

White sustained the injury early in the first quarter of last Sunday's game against the Titans. With the move to injured reserve, White will be able to return only for a potential Super Bowl matchup, and even then, only if the Seahawks do not score the first-round bye that comes with the NFC's top seed. In corresponding moves, the team signed Amari Kight to the active roster and signed Montorie Foster to the practice squad as a potential elevation replacement for White.

Brooks wasn't targeted during Sunday's 37-14 defeat in Cincinnati.

Brooks has garnered offensive snaps in four straight games for the Cardinals, but his shares have ranged from five to 71 percent on a weekly basis. He rang in at 30 percent Sunday behind Michael Wilson (86 percent), Xavier Weaver (67 percent) and Marvin Harrison (33 percent). Because Harrison's status for the regular-season finale at the Rams is up in the air after emerging from Week 17 with a foot injury, Brooks could be poised for more snaps this weekend, but his output so far in Arizona (3-51-0 on six targets) isn't appealing for fantasy purposes.

Kiner took his only carry for two yards during Sunday's 37-14 loss in Cincinnati.

One week removed from earning a career-high six rushes that he turned into 32 yards, the undrafted rookie logged just two offensive snaps in Week 17, with the aforementioned carry occurring in the middle of the second quarter. Kiner ranked third in the RB pecking order for the Cardinals behind Emari Demercado's 30 snaps and seven touches and Michael Carter's 23 and nine, respectively. Such a breakdown likely will continue in Arizona's regular-season finale Sunday at the Rams.

Weaver recorded two catches (on three targets) for 24 yards during Sunday's 37-14 defeat at Cincinnati.

Weaver ranked second among Cardinals wide receivers in offensive snap share (67 percent) behind Michael Wilson (86 percent), which was somewhat aided by Marvin Harrison's (33 percent) early exit in the fourth quarter after he suffered what eventually was called a foot injury (as opposed to his lingering heel issue). The workload was Weaver's third highest of the campaign, and the second-year pro actually set a career high in receiving yards Sunday. Even if Harrison is inhibited or sidelined Week 18 at the Rams, Weaver is an unlikely candidate to produce in that contest considering Wilson and TE Trey McBride have been absorbing most of the targets down the stretch of the current campaign.
