Britt (groin) practiced fully Wednesday, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Britt suffered a groin injury in this past Sunday's win over Tampa Bay, but the issue doesn't appear to be serious. Given that he was able to practice in full Wednesday, it's likely Britt will be healthy enough to suit up for the Dolphins' season finale Sunday versus New England. Britt's playing time has been inconsistent this season, but he could see more defensive snaps than usual Week 18 if Jordyn Brooks (hamstring, DNP on Wednesday) is unable to suit up.

Zaccheaus (illness) was a full practice participant Wednesday

The Bears listed Zaccheaus and fellow WR DJ Moore as questionable due to respective illnesses ahead of this past Sunday's game at San Francisco, and while Moore was able to suit up, Zaccheaus was not. Now with an uncapped session under his belt, though, Zaccheaus is among four healthy options at the position on the team's active roster along with Moore, Jahdae Walker and Devin Duvernay. As for the other two, Rome Odunze (foot) continued to sit out practice Wednesday, while Luther Burden (quadriceps) was a limited participant.

Nnadi (illness) was a full practice participant Wednesday.

Nnadi had to miss last Kansas City's past two games due to an illness, but he appears to be feeling better. With a full practice in tow to begin week 18 prep, it's likely the veteran defensive tackle will be able to return to action for the Chiefs' season finale Sunday against Las Vegas.

Reed was limited at Wednesday's practice due to an illness.

An illness has been sweeping the Packers' locker room the last two weeks, and Reed was among four players on the active roster to be impacted to kick off Week 18 prep. Since he returned to action from a lengthy IR stint Week 14, he's produced a modest 16-162-0 line on 17 targets over the last four games. In any case, Reed's status bears monitoring as the weekend approaches to get a sense of his odds to play Sunday in Minnesota, especially after coach Matt LaFleur told Matt Schneidman of The Athletic on Wednesday that some starters won't play this weekend.

Goedert (knee) didn't take part in Wednesday's walkthrough.

Goedert is listed on Philadelphia's injury report for the first time since mid-October, when he dealt with a calf issue. The top TE and red-zone standout will have two more chances to practice ahead of Sunday's regular-season finale against Washington, though the Eagles' clear priority will be to get Goedert healthy in time for the playoffs. Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports that the majority of Philadelphia's key starters, a group that includes Goedert, are expected to rest Week 18. If Goedert misses any time, whatever the reason, Grant Calcaterra and Kylen Granson will figure to serve as the Eagles' top tight ends.

Burden (quadriceps) practiced in a limited capacity Wednesday.

Burden suffered what eventually was called a quad injury on the final play of this past Sunday's loss at San Francisco. Coach Ben Johnson told Chris Emma of 670TheScore.com on Wednesday that the Bears are "hopeful" that Burden will be able to play Sunday versus the Lions. Ultimately, how Burden fares in practice Thursday and Friday will determine if he enters the weekend with a designation for Week 17 action. Meanwhile, fellow WR Rome Odunze (foot) remained sidelined at practice, while Olamide Zaccheaus (illness) practiced in full, so the latter, DJ Moore, Jahdae Walker and Devin Duvernay are the healthy options at the position on the Bears' active roster.

Fairbairn was limited in practice Wednesday due to an illness.

It's not clear when Fairbairn began feeling under the weather, but the good news is that it's relatively early in the week. Given that he was able to log a limited practice Wednesday, it's likely that the veteran kicker will be able to play Sunday against Indianapolis. Fairbairn has gone 16-for-17 on FG attempts since returning Week 12 from a two-game absence due to a quad injury.

Al-Shaair (knee) did not practice Wednesday.

Al-Shaair may have tweaked his knee during the Texans' 20-16 win over the Chargers in Week 17, when he logged six tackles (two solo) and an interception. The veteran linebacker will have two more chances to return to practice and avoid an injury designation heading into Sunday's regular-season finale against the Colts. Al-Shaair has logged 102 combined tackles through 15 regular-season games, marking the third time in his seven-year NFL career that he has cracked the tackling century mark.

Striggow (ankle) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.

Striggow has missed the Jaguars' last two games due to an ankle injury, but his return to practice Wednesday means that he is progressing in his recovery. He would be on track to return against the Titans on Sunday if he were to log a full practice over the next two days. The undrafted rookie has accumulated 15 tackles (six solo), including 0.5 sacks, and one fumble recovery across nine regular-season games, serving as a contributor on special teams and in a rotational role on the Jaguars' defensive line.

Odunze (foot) was a non-participant in practice Wednesday.

Odunze thus hasn't practiced since Dec. 12 due to a stress fracture in his foot and appears poised to end the regular season with five consecutive absences. The Bears can make a ruling on his availability for Sunday's game against the Lions as soon as they post Friday's injury report, and if he's ruled out, Chicago again may be short-handed in the receiving corps, as Luther Burden (quadriceps) was limited Wednesday after getting injured on the final play of this past Sunday's loss at San Francisco. Meanwhile, WR Olamide Zaccheaus, who sat out Week 17 due to illness, was a full practice participant Wednesday, joining DJ Moore, Jahdae Walker and Devin Duvernay as the healthy options at the position on the active roster.
