John FitzPatrick TE | GB
Packers' John FitzPatrick: Makes another start
FitzPatrick was targeted once and caught one pass for 11 yards in Sunday's 23-6 victory over the Vikings.
FitzPatrick was credited with a start for the second time in as many weeks, and he led Packers tight ends in snaps just like he did in Week 11. He's spending far more time on the field than he did before fellow tight end Tucker Kraft (knee) went down, but with two catches for 16 yards over the last two contests it has not been indicated in the box score.

Lukas Van Ness DE | GB
Packers' Lukas Van Ness: Estimated as DNP on Monday
Van Ness (foot) was listed as DNP on Monday's estimated practice report, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.
Van Ness missed five straight games with a foot injury prior to returning to the lineup Sunday against the Vikings. However, he played a season-low six defensive snaps against Minnesota and may have aggravated the injury.

Rashod Bateman WR | BAL
Ravens' Rashod Bateman: Estimated as limited in practice
Bateman (ankle) was listed as limited on Monday's practice estimate, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.
Bateman -- who didn't practice last week -- missed his second straight game Sunday against the Jets, but ahead of Week 12 action, coach John Harbaugh said Friday that the wideout was progressing well in his recovery and had a chance to play this Thursday night against the Bengals, per Jonas Shaffer of TheBaltimoreBanner.com. Bateman now has two more chances to upgrade his listed practice participation level before the Ravens post their Week 13 game statuses Wednesday.

Keisean Nixon CB | GB
Packers' Keisean Nixon: Estimated as DNP on Monday
Nixon (neck) was listed as DNP on Monday's estimated practice report, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.
Nixon exited in the first half of Sunday's win over the Vikings and was unable to return after he was diagnosed with a neck stinger. With Nixon sidelined, Kamal Hadden played 70 percent of the defensive snaps against Minnesota.

Kyler Murray QB | ARI
Cardinals' Kyler Murray: 'Working hard to get healthy,' per Gannon
Coach Jonathan Gannon said Monday that Murray (foot) is "working hard to get healthy," Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic reports. "That's what he's doing right now," Gannon added. "He's in every meeting. He's engaged. He's rehabbing a boat load of time in there."
Murray has been sidelined since he last suited up Week 5 due to a mid-foot sprain, but because the Cardinals didn't place him on injured reserve until before a Week 10 matchup with the Seahawks, he isn't eligible to return until Sunday, Dec. 7 against the Rams, at the earliest. Having said that, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported on Nov. 9 that Murray isn't expected to start again this season unless an injury befalls fellow QB Jacoby Brissett, who has racked up 1,887 yards, 11 touchdowns and three interceptions in six starts since Murray got injured. Murray thus may be facing a backup role whenever he's cleared for game action down the stretch, but he remains embedded in his recovery at the moment.

Luke Musgrave TE | GB
Packers' Luke Musgrave: Remains in limited role
Musgrave was targeted twice and caught one pass for seven yards in Sunday's 23-6 victory over the Vikings.
The Packers used their tight ends in almost the exact same fashion as they did in Week 11, with John FitzPatrick playing the most snaps and Josh Whyle and Musgrave sharing the work behind him. As also was the case in Week 11, none of them -- including Musgrave -- made a noticeable fantasy impact.

Lamar Jackson QB | BAL
Ravens' Lamar Jackson: Non-participant on practice estimate
Jackson was listed as a non-participant on Monday's practice estimate due to a toe issue, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.
In Week 11, knee soreness led to a Wednesday 'DNP' for Jackson, while in Week 12 an ankle issue was cited for the QB's absence that Wednesday. This time around, Jackson is listed with a toe injury, but at this stage there's nothing to suggest that his status for Thursday's game against the Bengals is in any danger. Tuesday's injury report will provide further context on that front, but it's worth noting that each of the last two weeks Jackson practiced fully both Thursday and Friday.

Sione Vaki RB | DET
Lions' Sione Vaki: Estimated as limited
Vaki (ankle) was limited on Monday's estimated practice report.
Seemingly injured for most of the season, Vaki has dealt with hamstring, groin and ankle issues in 2025 and has appeared in just five games. He's logged a total of one offensive snap and 82 on special teams, rushing one time for four yards while returning a pair of kickoffs for 39 yards.
-
Jacob Saylors RB | DET
Lions' Jacob Saylors: Limited Monday
Saylors (back) was limited on Monday's estimated practice report.
Saylors has been dealing with a back issue for most of November. He's logged a total of six offensive snaps all season but is a fixture on special teams for the Lions. Saylors has returned 26 kickoffs for 699 scoreless yards while producing six tackles (four solo).

Quay Walker LB | GB
Packers' Quay Walker: Listed as limited Monday
Walker (neck) is listed as a limited participant on Monday's estimated practice report, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.
Walker was unable to practice in any capacity prior to being ruled out for Week 12, so although Green Bay didn't actually host a practice Monday, it's encouraging to see him listed as a limited participant. The starting linebacker will have two more chances to ramp up his activity at practice prior to Thursday's divisional clash with the Lions.
