Hall (illness) does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Steelers, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

An illness prevented Hall from playing against the Bills in Week 16, but he was able to shed any sort of injury designation for Sunday's AFC North tilt after logging a full practice Friday. In the six games since the Browns' Week 9 bye, Hall has logged nine tackles (three solo), including 1.5 sacks.

Reid (back) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Steelers, Kelsey Russo of the Browns' official site reports.

Reid's practice window opened Dec. 17, but the linebacker has been unable to get back on the field since suffering a back injury in the Browns' preseason finale against the Rams. Now that he has been ruled out for Week 17, the 26-year-old's only shot to play regular-season football this year will be in a Week 18 matchup against the Bengals.

Firkser failed to reel in his only target in Thursday's 23-10 loss to the Vikings.

Firkser was unable to secure a pass for the second time in three weeks and the third time over six contests since making his season debut Nov. 23. The tight end once again split time with Shane Zylstra in Week 17, and Firkser did garner a target while Zylstra did not. Firkser will have one more chance to reach the end zone for the first time since 2021 when the Lions travel to face the Bears in Week 18.

Mostert (ankle/knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Giants.

Mostert was listed as a DNP for the first two practices of Week 17 prep due to ankle and knee injuries, but the veteran running back was able to practice in a limited capacity Friday to earn the questionable tag for Sunday's home game. If Mostert is unable to play, then Tre Tucker and Dylan Laube would be the main returners on kickoffs. Laube and Zamir White would also be in line for more rotational snaps out of the backfield behind Ashton Jeanty.

Zylstra did not garner a target in Thursday's 23-10 loss to Minnesota.

Zylstra went without a target for the second time in three games since returning from injured reserve. The tight end maintained a slight lead in offensive workload over Anthony Firkser, logging 42 offensive snaps to Firkser's 35, though the latter did garner a target. Zylstra will look to finish off the regular season on a higher note when Detroit heads to Chicago in Week 18.

Cracraft reverted to the Commanders' practice squad Friday.

Cracraft made his regular-season debut Thursday, logging a single special-teams snap as a gunner. Now back on the practice squad, the wide receiver is eligible to be elevated for the Commanders' Week 18 contest against the Eagles.

Munford (knee) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Jets.

Munford upgraded to full participation in practice Friday after opening the week as a limited participant. The 26-year-old will likely return to his depth role on the offensive line for Week 17, as Munford entered the game in Week 16 for Morgan Moses, who later returned.

Bech (back) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Giants.

Bech was a late addition to Friday's injury report as a limited practice participant due to a back issue, which puts the rookie second-rounder in jeopardy of missing Sunday's contest. His fantasy output has been inconsistent for most of the season, but he has been more involved in the Raiders offense as of late, accumulating 12 catches (on 15 targets) for 132 yards over Las Vegas' last four games. Tyler Lockett, Alex Bachman, Dont'e Thornton and Shedrick Jackson would be in line for more snaps on offense if Bech is ruled out for Week 17.

TeSlaa caught three of four targets for 49 yards and a touchdown in Thursday's 23-10 loss to the Vikings.

TeSlaa was able to reach pay dirt for the second straight game and fourth time in five contests, securing a four-yard score in the second quarter. The wide receiver now has reeled in 15 of 26 targets for 221 yards and six touchdowns over 16 contests in his rookie campaign. TeSlaa appears to be a significant red-zone threat at the professional level, and he'll be a guy to keep an eye on in 2026.

Brownlee reverted to the Chiefs' practice squad Friday.

Despite being elevated for Week 17, Brownlee did not participate in Thursday's loss to the Broncos. With Xavier Worthy, Hollywood Brown, JuJu Smith-Schuster and Jalen Royals all active and healthy, the Chiefs must not have felt Brownlee's presence would be required to replace an injured Rashee Rice (concussion), Tyquan Thornton (concussion) or Nikko Remigio (knee).
