  • Jaguars' Greg Newsome: Cleared to play Week 17

    Newsome (shoulder) does not have an injury designation for Sunday's contest against the Colts, Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com reports.

    Newsome logged a DNP/LP/LP practice progression this week but is good to go for Sunday. He wasn't able to finish last Sunday's win over Denver after hurting his shoulder in the fourth quarter, but the issue won't cost him additional time. Newsome has started nine of the 10 games in which he's played so far this season.

  • Mike Badgley K | BUF

    Bills' Michael Badgley: In line to start vs. Eagles

    Badgley is expected to be elevated from the practice squad to start versus Philadelphia on Sunday, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN reports.

    Badgley is on track to draw a second consecutive start for the Bills with Matt Prater (quadriceps) ruled out again and Tyler Bass (left hip/groin) out for the year. Versus the Browns in Week 16, Badgley converted his only field-goal attempt and two of three extra-point tries.

  • Tyler Goodson RB | ATL

    Colts' Tyler Goodson: Questionable for Sunday

    Goodson (ankle) is questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Jaguars, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.

    Goodson likely sustained his ankle injury against the 49ers during last Monday's loss, but the running back was able to upgrade to full participation in Friday's practice. The upgrade from non-participation to full is a great sign that the 25-year-old has recovered enough to suit up for Sunday's game. If Goodson is unable to play, DJ Giddens will likely share a few offensive snaps with Ameer Abdullah behind lead back Jonathan Taylor.

  • Drew Dalman C | CHI

    Bears' Drew Dalman: Set to play Sunday night

    Dalman (ankle/hand) does not have an injury designation for Sunday night's matchup against San Francisco.

    Dalman was deemed limited Wednesday and Thursday, but he was able to log a full session Sunday. His lack of an injury designation means the Bears will have their starting center for Sunday's big NFC clash.

  • Denzel Ward CB | CLE

    Browns' Denzel Ward: Ready to play Sunday

    Ward (calf) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Steelers, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

    Ward practiced Wednesday for the first time since sustaining a calf injury in Week 14 against the Titans, and after upgrading to full participation Friday, he will return for Week 17. The eight-year pro has 38 tackles (29 solo) and eight pass breakups, including one interception, through 13 games this season.

  • Patriots' Carlton Davis: Set to play Week 17

    Davis (illness) does not have an injury designation for Sunday's matchup against the Jets.

    Davis battled an illness early in the week and was labeled as a non-participant in practice Tuesday and Wednesday. However, he felt well enough to log a full session Friday and is good to go for Sunday. Davis hasn't missed a game this season and should take on his usual starting cornerback role against New York.

  • Myles Harden CB | CLE

    Browns' Myles Harden: Questionable for Sunday

    Harden (shoulder) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Steelers, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

    Harden was able to log limited practice sessions all week, a strong sign for the cornerback's chances of suiting up in Sunday's divisional contest. The 2024 seventh-round pick has yet to miss a game this season, and with an opportunity to play spoiler for the Steelers' AFC North title hopes, we will likely see Harden on the field Sunday. If the 24-year-old suffers a setback with his shoulder and is unable to take the field, Sam Webb will likely take over Harden's role as the slot cornerback for the Browns' defense.

  • Dolphins' Jason Sanders: Questionable, Week 17 kicker TBD

    Sanders (hip), who remains on IR, was limited in practice Friday and is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers.

    Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel said Friday that the team hasn't yet decided whether Sanders or Riley Patterson will handle placekicking duties this weekend in the event that both kickers are available, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports. Sanders has spent the entire regular season to date on IR, paving the way for Patterson to kick in all 15 of Miami's games so far. Patterson has been reliable in that span, converting 24 of 26 field-goal tries and all but one of his 32 PATs. Sanders remains under contract with the Dolphins through the 2026 campaign, which will be the final season of the five-year, $22 million deal he inked with the team in February 2021.

  • CJ Dippre TE | NE

    Patriots' CJ Dippre: No injury designation for Week 17

    Dippre (illness) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's contest against the Jets.

    Dippre was deemed a non-participant in practice Tuesday and Wednesday due to an illness, but he was able to log a full session Friday. That will be enough for the rookie tight end to be able to play Sunday. Dippre may not see the field, though, as he's yet to get into a game since he was signed to the active roster Nov. 17.

  • Jets' Harrison Phillips: Set to suit up

    Phillips (foot) doesn't have an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Patriots.

    Phillips has not missed a game yet this season, participating in all 15 of the Jets' contests in the 2025 campaign. The defensive tackle has played over 60 percent of snaps for six consecutive weeks, a pattern he will likely continue in Sunday's divisional contest. In the Jets' last meeting with the Patriots during Week 11, Phillips logged five tackles (two solo) on 41 defensive snaps.
