Harold Fannin Jr. TE | CLE
Browns' Harold Fannin: Suiting up in Week 17
Fannin (groin) is active for Sunday's game against the Steelers.
Though Fannin's status for Week 17 appeared to be in jeopardy after he was added to the Browns' injury report Friday due to a groin issue that resulted in him taking a questionable tag into Sunday, he'll be able to play in the penultimate game of the season and is expected to be a "full go," per Adam Schefter of ESPN. Since Shedeur Sanders took over as the Browns' starting quarterback Week 12, Fannin is averaging 8.4 targets over five games and has strung together a 26-279-3 receiving line to go with four carries for seven yards and another touchdown during that stretch.

Aaron Brewer C | MIA
Dolphins' Aaron Brewer: Inactive with neck issue
Brewer (neck) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers.
Brewer was able to log a limited practice session Friday, but it appears to not have been enough for the center to be active for Sunday's contest. Daniel Brunskill is set to start in Brewer's place, with Andrew Meyer as the new backup center.

Hunter Renfrow WR | CAR
Panthers' Hunter Renfrow: Won't play Week 17
Renfrow (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against Seattle, Alex Zietlow of The Charlotte Observer reports.
Renfrow has not appeared in a regular-season games since Week 6 against the Cowboys, with his absence coinciding with the return of Jalen Coker from injured reserve. Renfrow's next chance to play is Week 18 against the Buccaneers, though he's unlikely to be active for that contest unless the Panthers suffer an injury in their wide receiver corps.

Chris Olave WR | NO
Saints' Chris Olave: Active Sunday, as expected
Olave (back) is active for Sunday's game at Tennessee.
Olave has periodically been bothered by a back issue since Week 13 prep, but he's suited up for each of the Saints' last four contests on his way to a 23-310-4 line on 37 targets during that span. His limited session Friday led the team to deem him questionable for Week 17 action, but Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reported Saturday that Olave was expected to be active and ready for his normal workload, the former of which now has been confirmed. Assuming he's good for his roughly better than 80 percent weekly snap share Sunday, Olave again will operate as the top pass catcher for rookie QB Tyler Shough.

Tyrel Dodson LB | MIA
Dolphins' Tyrel Dodson: Cleared to play Week 17
Dodson (chest) is active for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers.
Dodson drew the questionable tag for Week 17 after a DNP/LP/FP practice log, and he has been cleared to play Sunday after going through pregame warmups. In the four games since the Dolphins' Week 12 bye, Dodson has accumulated 29 tackles (19 solo) and two pass defenses (one interception).

Marvin Harrison Jr. WR | ARI
Cardinals' Marvin Harrison: Suiting up again Sunday
Harrison (heel) is listed as active Sunday at Cincinnati, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
For a second week in a row, Harrison wasn't able to progress beyond a limited participant in practice as he tends to the heel injury that sidelined him Weeks 14 and 15. He entered the weekend listed as questionable, and while Adam Schefter of ESPN reported Saturday evening that Harrison was expected to play, the second-year wide receiver again is slated to have his workload managed. Harrison logged a 51 percent snap share last Sunday against the Falcons en route to one catch (on three targets) for 14 yards, which was well behind fellow WR Michael Wilson's 86 percent share and 2-52-1 line on three targets.

Cameron Williams OT | PHI
Eagles' Cameron Williams: Remains on IR
The Eagles did not activate Williams (shoulder) from injured reserve ahead of Sunday's game against the Bills.
Williams has been on IR since Sept. 13 with a shoulder injury, and he was designated to return to practice Dec. 11. The offensive tackle will have to be activated by the start of the new year, or he will not be able to return for the rest of the season, including the Eagles' upcoming postseason run.

Will Dissly TE | LAC
Chargers' Will Dissly: Two catches vs. Houston
Dissly caught both of his targets for 19 yards during the Chargers' 20-16 loss to the Texans on Saturday.
Dissly wasn't too far behind fellow tight end Oronde Gadsden (3-32-1 on six targets) despite the former playing just seven of 63 offensive snaps (11.1 percent) during Saturday's loss, which clinched the AFC West division for the Broncos. Dissly's role against Denver in Week 18 could be expanded if the Chargers opt to sit their starters.

Tetairoa McMillan WR | CAR
Panthers' Tetairoa McMillan: Playing through illness
McMillan (illness) is active for Sunday's game against the Seahawks, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
The star rookie was a late addition to the injury report Sunday morning with an illness, but despite the questionable tag, he was always expected to suit up. McMillan has taken over as the Panthers' No. 1 wideout this season, collecting multiple receptions in all but one appearance thus far, and he has five touchdowns over his past five games, including a career-high 8-130-2 line in Atlanta during Week 11.

Tre Harris WR | LAC
Chargers' Tre' Harris: Turns two touches into 15 yards
Harris hauled in his lone target for eight yards and logged a seven-yard carry during the Chargers' 20-16 loss to the Texans on Saturday.
Harris entered Saturday's game having accrued five targets in each of the prior two contests, but he was targeted only once by Justin Herbert in the loss. Harris has accumulated 12 catches (on 17 targets) for 159 yards over his last five games, firmly operating as a depth wideout behind Ladd McConkey, Keenan Allen and Quentin Johnston. The Chargers' Week 17 loss clinched the AFC West division for the Broncos, so if the Bolts end up resting starters in Week 18 against Denver, that could give Harris an opportunity to take on an expanded role in the offense.
