Brown (ankle/knee) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Colts.

Brown will end up missing the final two games of the regular season due to ankle and knee injuries, and Tytus Howard will get the start at right tackle for a second consecutive game. Brown has been unable to practice since sustaining the injuries in Week 16 against the Raiders, which puts him in jeopardy of missing the wild-card round of the AFC playoffs.

Mooney (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Saints, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

Mooney has received the green light to play in the season finale after he was listed as questionable heading into Sunday following a trio of limited practices during the week. Though the Atlanta coaching staff hasn't specifically mentioned that Mooney will be on a restricted snap count Sunday, fantasy managers should be cognizant that the wideout could face more playing-time risk than usual since the 7-9 Falcons are eliminated from playoff contention and have little at stake in Week 18. Like Mooney, starting receiver Drake London (knee) and tight end Kyle Pitts (knee) were also listed as questionable following Friday's practice but will be available to play in some capacity.

Rivers is inactive for Sunday's season finale against the Texans.

With Rivers inactive, Riley Leonard is slated to start Sunday's contest, with Seth Henigan set to serve as his backup. Rivers started the Colts' previous three games, but with the team out of playoff contention, the veteran quarterback will be kept out of harm's way in Week 18.

Pitts (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Saints, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

Pitts has been deemed available for the season finale after he was listed as questionable heading into Sunday following a trio of limited practices during the week. Though the Atlanta coaching staff hasn't specifically mentioned that Pitts will be on a restricted snap count Sunday, fantasy managers should be cognizant that the tight end could carry more playing-time risk than usual since he's nursing an injury and the 7-9 Falcons are eliminated from playoff contention and have little at stake in the season finale. Like Pitts, wideouts Drake London (knee) and Darnell Mooney (knee) were also listed as questionable following Friday's practice but will be available to play in some capacity.

Terrell (illness) is active for Sunday's game against the Saints, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

Terrell was added to Saturday's injury report due to an illness, but it won't prevent him from playing in Sunday's NFC South clash. The sixth-year pro has logged 64 tackles (46 solo), 12 pass defenses and one forced fumble through 14 regular-season games.

Herbert (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Titans.

Herbert's first elevation of the season will not lead to any snaps. The Jaguars have decided to go with Brenton Strange, Johnny Mundt and Quintin Morris at tight end, meaning Herbert's talents will not be required for the regular-season finale.

Wicks (concussion) is inactive for Sunday's game at Minnesota, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.

Wicks didn't practice during Week 18 prep following the concussion that he suffered Saturday, Dec. 27 against the Ravens. With Wicks sidelined, Green Bay's available options at the position Sunday will be Christian Watson, Romeo Doubs, Jayden Reed, Matthew Golden, Bo Melton and Jakobie Keeney-James. Wicks' next chance for game action will take place in the wild-card round.

London (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Saints, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

London has attained clearance to play in the season finale after he was listed as questionable heading into Sunday following a trio of limited practices during the week. Though the Atlanta coaching staff hasn't specifically mentioned that London will be on a restricted snap count Sunday, fantasy managers should be cognizant that the star wideout could be more of a playing-time risk than usual since the 7-9 Falcons are eliminated from playoff contention and have little at stake in the season finale. Like London, wideout Darnell Mooney (knee) and tight end Kyle Pitts (knee) were also listed as questionable following Friday's practice but will be available to play in some capacity.

Miller (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's Week 18 matchup versus Dallas, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

The Giants claimed Miller off waivers from Tampa Bay on Dec. 11, but they won't end up deploying him for any game action. The third-year wideout will finish the campaign having played in 13 contests (all with the Buccaneers), tallying two catches on four targets for 34 yards and a touchdown. Of Miller's 14 career NFL catches, three have gone for a score.

Davis (calf) is active for Sunday's game against the Falcons, Ross Jackson of WWL Louisiana reports.

Davis logged limited practices throughout Week 18 prep and drew a questionable tag, but he'll ultimately suit up for the regular-season finale, keeping his perfect attendance streak alive. In 16 appearances this season, the veteran linebacker has totaled a career-high 137 tackles (63 solo), including 0.5 sacks, three pass deflections, two forced fumbles and one fumble recovery.
