Coach Dave Canales said after Sunday's 27-10 loss to the Seahawks that Sanders suffered a broken ankle during the contest and is slated for surgery, Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer reports.

Based on Canales' comments, Sanders almost assuredly will miss a Week 18 matchup with the Buccaneers, the winner of whom will take the NFC South. In reality, though, Sanders' 2025 season likely is over, even if the Panthers were to make a deep playoff run. For as long as Sanders is sidelined and Carolina's campaign remains alive, Tommy Tremble, Mitchell Evans and James Mitchell will be the tight ends available to the offense.

Parham (illness) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Giants.

Parham popped up on the Raiders' injury report prior to kickoff and after the list of inactive players was announced. Atonio Mafi is a candidate to step in at left guard if Parham is unable to play.

Head coach Matt LaFleur told reporters Sunday that Hadden is out for the rest of the season due to an ankle injury, Weston Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

Hadden sustained an ankle injury during the Packers' 41-24 loss to the Ravens. The injury will keep him out for the rest of the year, and it's unclear whether it will impact his availability for the 2026 campaign. The second-year corner will finish 2025 with five tackles (one solo) through 10 regular-season games.

Coach Mike Tomlin said that Washington suffered a broken arm during Sunday's 13-6 loss to the Browns, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.

Per Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com, Tomlin said he didn't know if Washington will be out for the Steelers' regular-season finale against the Ravens, with the AFC North title on the line; however, it seems very likely that Washington will miss that contest, at a minimum. If so, Pat Freiermuth and Jonnu Smith would pace Pittsburgh's TE corps in his absence.

Head coach Matt LaFleur said Sunday that Riley is done for the rest of the 2025 season due to an Achilles injury, Weston Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

Riley sustained the injury during the Packers' 41-24 loss to the Ravens on Saturday. Further tests have revealed that the injury is severe enough that the third-year defensive tackle will not return for the rest of the season, and the issue could impact his availability for the start of the 2026 campaign. Riley signed a contract with the Packers in early December and mostly worked in a rotational role at defensive tackle, finishing with two solo tackles across four regular-season games.

Luvu recorded seven tackles (three solo) and one pass defense during the Commanders' 30-23 loss to the Cowboys on Thursday.

Luvu joined Will Harris and Bobby Wagner as the three Commanders defenders to play all 92 snaps during their Christmas Day loss. The eighth-year pro is up to 85 combined tackles through 16 regular-season games, and he would need a big day against the Eagles in Week 18 in order to reach the tackling century mark for the third time in his NFL career.

Harris logged 10 tackles (five solo) during the Commanders' 30-23 loss to the Cowboys on Thursday.

Harris recorded career highs in tackles and defensive snaps (92) to finish tied with Bobby Wagner for the most stops on the Commanders on Christmas Day. Harris has accumulated 24 tackles (13 solo), including 1.0 sacks, and two pass defenses in the five games since Washington's Week 12 bye. With the Commanders eliminated from postseason contention, Week 18 against the Eagles is Harris' last opportunity to pad his stats.

Reddick was evaluated for a possible concussion in Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Dolphins, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.

Reddick exited the contest late in the fourth quarter, and he was ultimately checked for a concussion. More information on his status will likely come in the near future.

Wagner logged 10 tackles (five solo), including 0.5 sacks, and one pass defense during the Commanders' 30-23 loss to the Cowboys on Thursday.

Wagner played all 92 defensive snaps Christmas Day, which was the second-most in his career (94 defensive snaps in Week 7 of the 2016 season). He combined with Jer'Zhan Newton for a five-yard sack on Dak Prescott midway through the third quarter, bringing Wagner up 2.5 sacks over his last four games. Wagner has accumulated 157 combined tackles through 16 regular-season games, which is currently the fifth most in his 14-year NFL career. Week 18 against the Eagles is Wagner's last opportunity to add to his tackling total.

Davis (concussion) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's contest against New England.

Davis exited the contest after suffering a blow to the head, and his day has now officially come to an end due to a concussion. With Davis now in concussion protocol, it's possible his season has come to an end with just one game remaining.
