Cherelus is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Seahawks due to a calf injury, Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer reports.

Cherelus appeared to sustain the injury late in the second quarter, and he's being evaluated by medical staff to determine whether he can return to Sunday's game. Bam Martin-Scott will see more snaps on defense for as long as Cherelus is out of the game.

Howell (coach's decision) is inactive but operating as the Eagles' emergency third quarterback Sunday versus the Bills.

Howell will once again serve as the team's No. 3 option at QB in Week 17. The 25-year-old will only be able to enter the game if both Jalen Hurts and Tanner McKee are sidelined.

Dillon (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Bills.

Dillon has not appeared in a regular-season game since Week 6 against the Giants, and his last opportunity to do so is Week 18 against the Commanders. Tank Bigsby and Will Shipley will continue to serve as the Eagles' rotational running backs behind Saquon Barkley.

Coleman is inactive for Sunday's game against the Eagles.

With Coleman inactive, Khalil Shakir, Joshua Palmer, Gabe Davis, Tyrell Shavers and Brandin Cooks are slated to handle Buffalo's Week 17 wide-receiver duties.

Carter (personal) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Bills.

Carter is away from the team while attending to a personal matter, and his next opportunity to play is Week 18 against the Commanders. Sydney Brown will be the primary rotational option in the secondary in Carter's absence.

Kincaid (knee) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Eagles.

Kincaid was listed as a non-participant at practice Wednesday and Thursday before being deemed limited Friday and questionable to face Philadelphia. Now that he's been made inactive, Dawson Knox will have an opportunity to lead the Bills' Week 17 TE corps, with Jackson Hawes and Keleki Latu also in the mix. Kincaid will thus target a return to action in Week 18 versus the Jets.

Brooks (hamstring) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Buccaneers.

Brooks is being evaluated by medical staff to determine whether he can return to Sunday's game. Willie Gay, K.J. Britt and Quinton Bell are candidates for more snaps on defense for as long as Brooks is out of the game.

White is active for Sunday's game against the Giants.

With Raheem Mostert (ankle) inactive for Sunday's game, White will be the No. 3 running back behind Ashton Jeanty and Dylan Laube. The 26-year-old may have a chance for some special-teams snaps or rotational rushes in Sunday's contest.

Rochell has entered the league's concussion protocol and has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Seahawks, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

Rochell appeared to be shaken up while on punt coverage in the first half and is now in concussion protocol after being evaluated by medical staff. He has served exclusively on special teams, so his absence won't impact the Panthers' secondary much for the rest of Sunday's game.

Cashman recorded 17 tackles (six solo), including 1.0 sacks, during the Vikings' 23-10 win over the Lions on Thursday.

After matching a season high with 16 tackles against the Giants in Week 16, Cashman did one better Christmas Day with 17 stops, which were his most in a game since Week 11 of the 2023 season (19 tackles). Cashman has recorded double-digit stops in four consecutive games and in nine of his last 10 outings. He's up to 137 tackles (58 solo), including 1.0 sacks, two pass defenses and one forced fumble through 12 regular-season games.
