Salyer (hamstring) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Broncos.

Salyer and Bradley Bozeman (concussion) will be the two starting offensive linemen who will be inactive for Sunday's regular-season finale. Bobby Hart is in line to start at left tackle in Salyer's absence.

Tillery (personal) is active for Sunday's contest against the Raiders, Matt McMullen of the Chiefs' official site reports.

Tillery dealt with a personal matter Friday and missed the team's final practice of the week, but he'll now be good to go for Week 18. The 29-year-old will operate in his typical role as a top reserve option behind Chris Jones and Derrick Nnadi at defensive tackle versus Las Vegas.

Burden is in line to serve as the Bears' No. 2 receiver again in Sunday's Week 18 matchup against the Lions due to Rome Odunze (foot) being ruled inactive for the contest.

Burden has taken ample advantage in the three games he's played during Odunze's current absence, posting an 18-289-1 line on 22 targets in that span. The rookie is coming into Sunday fresh off a career-best eight-catch, 138-yard, one-touchdown effort against the 49ers last Sunday night, and he'll look to exploit a Lions secondary that's been significantly impacted by injury.

Keenum (coach's decision) is inactive but will serve as Chicago's emergency third quarterback versus the Lions on Sunday, Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune reports.

As he has all year, Keenum will spend Sunday's game on the bench unless both starter Caleb Williams and backup Tyson Bagent become unable to play. It appears Keenum will likely end the regular season without taking a snap.

McCloud (illness) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Lions.

McCloud was unable to shake off an illness in time for Week 18 and will end up missing the final two games of the regular season. Josh Blackwell, Tyrique Stevenson and Jaylon Jones are in line for more rotational snaps in the secondary in McCloud's absence.

Speights (ankle) is active for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site reports.

Speights was limited in all three practices during Week 18 prep, but he has been given the green light to play Sunday after going through pregame warmups. He has logged 80 tackles (41 solo) and one pass defense through 15 regular-season games.

Bullard (knee) is questionable to return to Sunday's contest against the Vikings.

Bullard suffered a knee injury late in the second half, placing doubt on his ability to return to action. In his absence, newcomer Trevon Diggs, among others, could see an uptick in workload at cornerback.

Bennett (coach's decision) is inactive but will serve as the Rams' emergency third quarterback against the Cardinals on Sunday, Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site reports.

As the emergency third quarterback, Bennett is prohibited from playing Sunday unless both Matthew Stafford and Jimmy Garoppolo were to leave the game due to injury, illness or ejection.

Lewis (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's contest versus the Chargers, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official website reports.

Lewis will be a healthy scratch for the team's regular-season finale after logging 15 offensive snaps in Week 17 versus the Chiefs. The 41-year-old doesn't have much of a role in the passing attack, so his absence won't have a major impact on offense against Los Angeles.

Moore will remain the Bears' No. 1 receiver in Sunday's Week 18 matchup against the Lions due to Rome Odunze (foot) being ruled inactive for the contest.

Moore has had his moments during the four games Odunze has missed before Sunday, posting a 9-166-3 line on 12 targets in Weeks 15-16. The veteran wideout saw a significant downturn in the Week 17 loss to the 49ers with a one-catch, seven-yard effort while battling an illness, but Moore should be back to full health Sunday as Chicago looks to clinch the No. 2 seed in the NFC with a win.
