Tunsil (oblique) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Eagles, Tashan Reed of The Washington Post reports.

The veteran offensive lineman will end up missing the final three games of the regular season due to an oblique issue, so Brandon Coleman is in line to once again start at left tackle for Sunday's NFC East tilt. Tunsil started in each of the Commanders' 14 regular-season games prior to his injury.

Newman-Johnson (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Buffalo.

Newman-Johnson was unable to practice during Week 18 prep due to a knee injury and will not be available for Sunday's regular-season finale. The fourth-year pro appeared in five regular-season games in 2025 but did not start in a game, and he will enter the offseason as a free agent.

Clemons (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bills.

Clemons was held out of practice all week due to an ankle injury and won't suit up for Sunday's regular-season finale. The fourth-year pro will end the 2025 regular season with 22 tackles (nine solo), including 1.0 sacks, and two pass defenses across 16 games. Eric Watts will serve as the Jets' top rotational defensive end behind Jermaine Johnson and Braiden McGregor in Clemons' absence.

Butler (biceps) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Chiefs, Levi Edwards of the Raiders' official site reports.

Butler was unable to practice all week due to a biceps injury, and as a result he will be sidelined for Sunday's regular-season finale. He'll finish the 2025 regular season with 50 tackles (20 solo), including 1.0 sacks, and one fumble recovery across 15 games. In Butler's absence, head coach Pete Carroll relayed to reporters Friday that JJ Pegues and Tonka Hemingway will be the "feature players" against Kansas City.

Franklin-Myers (hip) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Chargers, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.

Franklin-Myers had his practice reps limited during Week 18 prep due to a hip issue, and his status for Sunday's game may not be known until the Broncos announce their list of inactive players approximately 90 minutes before the 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff. Jordan Jackson, Eyioma Uwazurike and Malcolm Roach would be in line for more snaps on the Broncos' defensive line if Franklin-Myers is not cleared to play.

Greenlaw (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Chargers, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.

Greenlaw was unable to practice all week due to a hamstring injury and will miss a second consecutive game as a result. A Broncos win Sunday would result in Denver clinching the No. 1 seed in the AFC and a first-round bye, which would give the veteran linebacker more time to recover from his injury. Justin Strnad will likely start alongside Alex Singleton at inside linebacker in Greenlaw's absence.

Bates logged a full practice Friday and carries no injury designation heading into Sunday's game against the Bengals.

Bates should garner some interest as both Harold Fannin (groin) and David Njoku (knee) having been ruled out for Week 18. Bates and Blake Whiteheart are poised to see more playing time, although practice-squad member Sal Cannella, who led Cleveland's tight ends in targets last week, could steal some thunder if added to the roster for the game.

Stingley (oblique) does not have an injury designation against the Colts on Sunday.

Stingley had his practice reps limited during Week 18 prep while nursing an oblique injury, but he was able to fade an injury tag after logging a full session Friday. The fourth-year pro has accumulated 24 tackles (16 solo), 10 pass defenses (two interceptions and a pick-six) and one forced fumble in 11 games since the Texans' Week 6 bye.

Rankins (elbow) does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Colts.

Rankins put together a DNP/LP/FP practice log for Week 18, and the 2016 first-rounder has done enough to be cleared to play in Sunday's regular-season finale. Rankins has played at least 60 percent of the Texans' defensive snaps in 12 of 16 regular-season games and has been a key piece to Houston's interior defensive line.

Newsome (shoulder) doesn't have an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Titans, Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com reports.

Newsome logged limited practices throughout Week 18 and was able to dodge an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game without logging a full practice session. The starting cornerback is all set to suit up opposite Jarrian Jones, with neither cornerback missing a game for the Jaguars this season.
