Herbig (hamstring) has no injury designation heading into Sunday's contest against the Browns, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

Herbig upgraded to full participation in Friday's practice and will play Sunday versus the Browns after missing Week 16 with a hamstring injury. The 24-year-old will be crucial for the front-seven in Week 17 as star T.J. Watt (lung) is out for yet another game. Herbig has 29 tackles (20 solo), including 6.5 sacks, and two pass breakups, including one interception.

Crosby (knee) was informed that he'll be ruled out for Sunday's game against the Giants, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Crosby suffered a knee injury in Week 4 against the Bears that he has been playing through all season. Since acquiring the injury, the defensive end has logged six games with a 100 percent defensive snap rate and has dodged an injury designation nearly every week. It may not be a coincidence that the 28-year-old's health is being preserved during a matchup that could determine the No. 1 overall pick in the 2026 NFL draft, as the 2-13 Raiders are set to take on the 2-13 Giants.

Pitts (knee) was limited in practice Friday, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

Pitts was not listed on Thursday's estimated injury report, but with the Falcons logging on-field work one day later, his limitations may just be maintenance for the knee issue that bothered him before both of the last two games. In any case, the starting tight end's activity level during Saturday's session will be monitored closely. Pitts has broken out in a massive way across his last four regular-season appearances, in which span he's averaged 98.8 receiving yards per game and recorded four touchdowns.

Nunez-Roches (ankle/toe) has been deemed questionable for Sunday's Week 17 clash against Las Vegas.

Nunez-Roches has missed New York's past two games while managing ankle and toe injuries. He logged an LP/DNP/LP practice progression this week and has been given a chance of returning to action Sunday. Nunez-Roches has made five starts across the nine games he's been been healthy enough to play in this season.

Willis (right shoulder/illness) is expected to start Saturday against the Ravens after the Packers ruled out Jordan Love (left shoulder/concussion) for that contest.

Willis himself is listed as questionable for Week 17 action due to a right shoulder injury and an illness, but his status will receive clarity about 90 minutes before Saturday's 8:00 p.m. ET kickoff. In two spot starts for Love last season, Willis went 2-0 while completing 25 of 33 passes for 324 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions and turning 12 carries into 114 yards and another TD. Clayton Tune likely will be elevated from the practice squad to back up Willis this weekend.

London (knee) was a limited participant in Friday's practice, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

London was also listed as limited on Thursday's estimated practice report, meaning Saturday will be his last opportunity to prove himself capable of handling full practice reps ahead of Monday Night Football against Los Angeles. The star wideout returned from a four-game absence versus Arizona in Week 16 but secured just three of eight targets for 27 yards. Tight end Kyle Pitts (knee) was added to Friday's injury report as a limited participant.

Oliver (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Saints, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Oliver will not be activated from IR this week, making it consecutive weeks since the wide receiver's practice window opened that he will not get the go-ahead. The 25-year-old hasn't played since Week 2, and if he is unable to get on the field for Week 18, his season will end with just one catch on one target for 8 yards.

Love (left shoulder/concussion) has been ruled out for Saturday's contest against the Ravens.

Love thus will miss his first game of the season due to the concussion that he suffered last Saturday in Chicago, yielding the offense to backup Malik Willis (right shoulder/Illness). Love will turn his focus to getting healthy ahead of a Week 18 road matchup with the Vikings.

Flott (knee) is questionable to suit up against Las Vegas on Sunday.

Flott wasn't able to finish this past Sunday's game against Minnesota after suffering a knee injury in the third quarter. He was deemed limited in all three practice sessions this week and may come down to a game-time decision Sunday. If Flott can't play against the Raiders, Deonte Banks could step into a starting role.

Helm (toe) was limited in practice Friday but does not carry an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Saints, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Helm will continue to play through the toe injury he sustained Week 15 versus San Francisco, but the issue didn't prevent him from handling a career-high 52 offensive snaps during Tennessee's win over the Chiefs in Week 16. Expect Helm to continue handling a key role as one of the Titans' top tight ends alongside Chig Okonkwo this weekend.
