  • Chiefs' Chris Oladokun: Minimal production in loss

    Oladokun completed 13 of 22 passes for 66 yards with a touchdown and no interceptions while adding two rushes for 11 yards in the Chiefs' 20-13 loss to the Broncos on Thursday night. He also fumbled once but recovered.

    The journeyman signal-caller didn't have a bright outlook coming into Thursday's game given the matchup and his inexperience, but even in that context. Oladokun's microscopic passing yardage total was jarring. However, he was sacked just once and didn't turn the ball over, and he connected with Brashard Smith from five yards out for his first NFL touchdown pass. Oladokun figures to be under center again in a Week 18 road matchup against the Raiders to close out the season.

  • Vikings' Will Reichard: Makes three FGs in Week 17 victory

    Reichard converted all three of his field-goal attempts and both extra-point tries Thursday in a 23-10 win over Detroit.

    All three of Reichard's field goals came in the second half. He nailed a 52-yarder and 56-yarder late in the third quarter, then put the final touches on the Vikings victory with a 42-yarder late in the fourth. Reichard hasn't missed a FG try since Week 8 and is an impressive 30-for-32 on the season while making all 30 of his point-after attempts.

    Lions' Jake Bates: Successful on lone FG try Week 17

    Bates made his only field-goal attempt and his only extra-point try in Thursday's Christmas Day loss to Minnesota.

    Minnesota's defense mostly stymied Detroit's offense, capping Bates' kicking opportunities. He did make a 48-yard field goal with under five minutes remaining in the game to end with a tolerable fantasy score. Bates is 23-for-29 on FG attempts and 53-for-55 on PATs on the season.

  • Jake Moody K | WAS

    Commanders' Jake Moody: Converts all three FG attempts in loss

    Moody went 3-for-3 on field-goal attempts and 2-for-2 on point-after tries Thursday in a Week 17 loss to Dallas.

    Moody's first two field goals were relative chip shots, coming from 29 and 23 yards out. However, he came through on a big 51-yarder with just over two minutes remaining in the game to keep the Commanders' hopes of a comeback alive. Moody remains almost perfect since making his Washington debut Week 13, going 9-for-9 on FG tries and 7-for-8 of PATs. Moody's 51-yarder Thursday was his first FG make of 50-plus yards this season.

  • Cowboys' Brandon Aubrey: Nails three FGs in Christmas win

    Aubrey made three of four field-goal attempts and all three extra-point tries in Thursday's 30-23 win over Washington.

    Aubrey's first field goal was a 42-yarder just before halftime. He then made a 52-yarder and a 51-yarder in the second half, though he also missed a 58-yard attempt early in the fourth quarter. Despite that miss, the big-legged kicker continued to show his almost limitless range -- he's now 11-for-16 on FG tries from 50-plus yards this season, including 3-for-4 from 60-plus yards.

  • Packers' John Williams: Unavailable for Week 17

    Williams (back) has been ruled out for Saturday's contest against Baltimore, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official website reports.

    Williams was able to log back-to-back limited practices to end the week, but he'll remain sidelined in Week 17. The offensive lineman will have one more chance to make his NFL debut in the regular season against the Vikings on Jan. 4.

  • Sean Rhyan OT | GB

    Packers' Sean Rhyan: Questionable for Week 17

    Rhyan (knee) is questionable to play Saturday versus the Ravens, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official website reports.

    Rhyan was a limited participant at the team's first official practice Wednesday before sitting out Thursday's session. The offensive lineman is dealing with a knee issue, and if he's unavailable for Week 17, Jacob Monk would be the top candidate to start at center against Baltimore.

  • Aaron Banks G | GB

    Packers' Aaron Banks: Good to go for Week 17

    Banks (neck) does not carry an injury designation into Saturday's contest against Baltimore, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official website reports.

    Banks was limited at practice to open the week due to a neck issue, but he now appears to be a full go for Week 17. The 28-year-old will operate in his starting role at left guard versus the Ravens.

  • Zach Tom G | GB

    Packers' Zach Tom: Questionable to play Saturday

    Tom (back/knee) is questionable to play Saturday versus the Ravens, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official website reports.

    Tom was unable to practice at all during the week while nursing back and knee injuries, but the team has decided to leave the door open for him to play in Week 17. If he is unable to go against Baltimore, Darian Kinnard would likely draw another start at right tackle.

  • Packers' Kristian Welch: Unavailable for Week 17

    Welch (ankle) has been ruled out for Saturday's contest against the Ravens, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official website reports.

    Welch suffered an ankle injury in the team's Week 16 overtime loss to the Bears, and he'll now be forced to miss at least one contest as a result. The linebacker doesn't have a role on defense, so his absence will carry have the greatest impact on special teams.
