Muhammad (abdomen) was a limited participant in Monday's walkthrough practice.

Muhammad was one of nine Lions players to be limited in the first session of Week 17 prep. He may have sustained an abdominal injury during Sunday's loss to Pittsburgh, when he played 30 of 74 defensive snaps (40.5 percent) without showing up on the box score otherwise. The veteran defensive end will need to log a full practice over the next two days in order to avoid an injury designation for Thursday's Christmas Day tilt against the Vikings.

McNeill (abdomen) was a limited participant in Monday's walkthrough practice.

McNeill played 56 of 74 defensive snaps (76.7 percent) and logged two tackles (one solo) during the Lions' 29-24 loss to the Steelers on Sunday. He appears to have come out of that game with an injury, though his ability to practice in a limited capacity Monday indicates that the issue isn't considered serious. McNeill will have two more chances to increase his practice participation heading into the Lions' Christmas Day tilt against the Vikings on Thursday.

Kennedy (abdomen) was listed as a limited participant on Monday's estimated practice report.

Kennedy was limited in Monday's walkthrough session due to an abdominal injury that he may have sustained during Sunday's loss to the Steelers, when he turned three kickoff returns into 77 yards. The limited tag indicates the injury isn't considered severe, and he would be on track to play against the Vikings on Christmas day were he to log a full practice over the next two days.

Maddox (back) was listed as a DNP on Monday's estimated practice report.

The Lions conducted a walkthrough practice , but Maddox wasn't on the field for Monday's session while tending to a back issue he likely picked up during Sunday's 29-24 loss to the Steelers, when logged four tackles (two solo). His practice participation over the next two days will shed light on whether he'll be available for Detroit's Christmas Day clash against Minnesota.

The Commanders placed Goldman (concussion) on injured reserve Monday.

Goldman entered the league's concussion protocol following the Commanders' Week 15 loss to the Giants. That marked the second time he was diagnosed with a concussion this season, and his placement on injured reserve means he will not be available for the Commanders' final two games of the regular season. The veteran defensive tackle will end the 2025 regular season with 26 tackles (10 solo) across 13 games, and he will enter the offseason as a free agent.

The Commanders placed Lane (ankle) on injured reserve Monday.

The rookie fourth-rounder was already unlikely to play against the Cowboys on Christmas Day due to an ankle injury he sustained during Saturday's loss to the Eagles, and his placement on IR means he won't be available for Washington's final two games of the regular season. Lane will finish his first NFL regular season with 16 catches (on 32 targets) for 225 yards across 15 games, though he failed to record a reception in each of the four games following the Commanders' Week 12 bye. His impact was felt more on special teams as a returner, where he turned 23 punt returns into 314 yards and two touchdowns and logged 56 yards on three kickoff returns.

Gross-Matos (hamstring) is active for Monday night's game against the Colts.

The Niners activated the veteran defensive lineman from injured reserve earlier Monday, and he'll return to the lineup for the first time since being injured in Week 5.

Robinson (coach's decision) is inactive for Monday night's game against the Colts.

With the Niners deciding to elevate Eric Kendricks from the practice squad, Robinson is the odd man out in the linebacker corps. Robinson has appeared in all 14 games to this point this season, making three starts, and has produced 42 tackles (19 solo) and one pass breakup.

Watkins is active for Monday night's game against the Colts.

With Ricky Pearsall (knee) back on the shelf, Watkins is getting the nod Monday night. Watkins has appeared in three games this season, recording a pair of catches for 26 yards.

James is active for Monday night's game against the Colts.

James is getting the nod as San Francisco's RB3 over Isaac Guerendo, who had been active for all 14 games prior to Monday night. James appears poised to make his regular-season NFL debut versus Indianapolis.
