Dallas Goedert TE | PHI
Eagles' Dallas Goedert: Another DNP on Thursday
Goedert (knee) didn't practice Thursday.
Goedert has yet to practice this week due to a knee injury, so the possibility exists that the Eagles keep him on the sideline Week 18 against the Commanders with a home game guaranteed for the first round of the playoffs. Grant Calcaterra, Kylen Granson and Cameron Latu would be the TEs available for more snaps this weekend if Goedert ends up in street clothes.

Mason Tipton WR | NO
Saints' Mason Tipton: Absent from Thursday's practice
Tipton (groin) did not practice Thursday.
Tipton has now missed back-to-back practices to kick off preparation for Week 18. Prior to being ruled out for Week 17 he had logged three consecutive limited sessions, meaning the kick returner and rotational wideout appears to have since suffered a setback in his recovery from a lingering groin injury. Friday will represent his last chance to get onto the practice field prior to Sunday's regular-season finale against Atlanta.

Isaac Seumalo G | ARI
Steelers' Isaac Seumalo: On track to play Week 18
Seumalo (triceps) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.
Seumalo has been sidelined for Pittsburgh's last two games due to a triceps injury, but his ability to practice in full Thursday puts him on track to return against Baltimore on Sunday. If he's cleared to play, then Seumalo would likely reclaim his starting spot at left guard from Spencer Anderson.

Alvin Kamara RB | NO
Saints' Alvin Kamara: Another missed practice
Kamara (knee/ankle) did not practice Thursday.
Kamara appears on track to miss Sunday's regular-season finale against the Falcons, which would constitute his sixth straight missed contest. With Devin Neal (hamstring) having been placed on IR in Week 16, Audric Estime will be positioned to close out the 2025 campaign as New Orleans' backfield leader if Kamara indeed can't play Week 18.

Charlie Kolar TE | LAC
Ravens' Charlie Kolar: Logs full practice Thursday
Kolar (nose) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.
Kolar was limited in Wednesday's practice due to a nose injury, but the fourth-year tight end practiced without restriction Thursday and is on track to play in Sunday's regular-season finale against the Steelers. Kolar has caught 10 passes (on 15 targets) for 142 yards and two scores across 16 regular-season games while serving as the Ravens' TE3 behind Mark Andrews and Isaiah Likely.

Darnell Mooney WR | NYG
Falcons' Darnell Mooney: Dealing with knee injury
Mooney (knee) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.
The knee injury appears to be a new issue for Mooney, given that he was not listed on Wednesday's practice report. His participation in Friday's practice will determine whether he enters Sunday's regular-season finale against the Saints with an injury designation. If Mooney is unable to play, then David Sills, Dylan Drummond and Deven Thompkins would be in line for more offensive snaps in Week 18.

Josh Jacobs RB | GB
Packers' Josh Jacobs: Limited again Thursday
Jacobs (knee/ankle) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday.
Jacobs has been battling lower-body injuries since he sustained a knee injury Week 11 at the Giants. He sat out Week 12 against the Vikings as a result, but he's suited up for each of the last five contests, totaling 73 touches during that span. Jacobs actually ranked third among Packers RBs in offensive snaps (13) behind Chris Brooks (21) and Emanuel Wilson (17) in Week 17, and with the team locked in to the No. 7 seed in the NFC side of the playoffs, Jacobs could find himself inactive Sunday at Minnesota to get him as healthy as possible for the postseason.

Sheldon Rankins DT | HOU
Texans' Sheldon Rankins: Limited in Thursday's practice
Rankins (elbow) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.
Rankins was held out of Wednesday's practice due to an elbow issue, but he was able to return Thursday in a limited capacity. He would likely avoid an injury designation for Sunday's regular-season finale against the Colts if he were to practice in full Friday. Rankins has accumulated 25 tackles (10 solo), including 2.0 sacks, and one fumble recovery in the 11 games since the Texans' Week 6 bye.

Jaylen Waddle WR | DEN
Dolphins' Jaylen Waddle: Limited in return to practice
Waddle (ribs) returned to a limited practice Thursday, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
After missing practice Wednesday, Waddle's return to a capped session a day later bodes well for his chances of being available for Sunday's season finale against the Patriots. Friday's final injury report is set to determine whether the Dolphins' top wideout heads into the weekend with an injury designation or cleared to face New England in Week 18.

Derek Stingley Jr. CB | HOU
Texans' Derek Stingley: Logs limited practice Thursday
Stingley (oblique) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.
Stingley was held out of Wednesday's practice while managing an oblique issue, but the fourth-year corner was able to log a limited session Thursday. Given that the Texans could still win the AFC South division title, Stingley would likely be available for Sunday's game against the Colts unless he were to suffer a setback. Friday's practice report will determine whether he enters Week 18 with an injury designation.
