Carlton Davis CB | NE
Patriots' Carlton Davis: Set to play Week 17
Davis (illness) does not have an injury designation for Sunday's matchup against the Jets.
Davis battled an illness early in the week and was labeled as a non-participant in practice Tuesday and Wednesday. However, he felt well enough to log a full session Friday and is good to go for Sunday. Davis hasn't missed a game this season and should take on his usual starting cornerback role against New York.

Myles Harden DB | CLE
Browns' Myles Harden: Questionable for Sunday
Harden (shoulder) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Steelers, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Harden was able to log limited practice sessions all week, a strong sign for the cornerback's chances of suiting up in Sunday's divisional contest. The 2024 seventh-round pick has yet to miss a game this season, and with an opportunity to play spoiler for the Steelers' AFC North title hopes, we will likely see Harden on the field Sunday. If the 24-year-old suffers a setback with his shoulder and is unable to take the field, Sam Webb will likely take over Harden's role as the slot cornerback for the Browns' defense.

Jason Sanders K | MIA
Dolphins' Jason Sanders: Questionable, Week 17 kicker TBD
Sanders (hip), who remains on IR, was limited in practice Friday and is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers.
Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel said Friday that the team hasn't yet decided whether Sanders or Riley Patterson will handle placekicking duties this weekend in the event that both kickers are available, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports. Sanders has spent the entire regular season to date on IR, paving the way for Patterson to kick in all 15 of Miami's games so far. Patterson has been reliable in that span, converting 24 of 26 field-goal tries and all but one of his 32 PATs. Sanders remains under contract with the Dolphins through the 2026 campaign, which will be the final season of the five-year, $22 million deal he inked with the team in February 2021.

CJ Dippre TE | NE
Patriots' CJ Dippre: No injury designation for Week 17
Dippre (illness) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's contest against the Jets.
Dippre was deemed a non-participant in practice Tuesday and Wednesday due to an illness, but he was able to log a full session Friday. That will be enough for the rookie tight end to be able to play Sunday. Dippre may not see the field, though, as he's yet to get into a game since he was signed to the active roster Nov. 17.

Harrison Phillips DT | NYJ
Jets' Harrison Phillips: Set to suit up
Phillips (foot) doesn't have an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Patriots.
Phillips has not missed a game yet this season, participating in all 15 of the Jets' contests in the 2025 campaign. The defensive tackle has played over 60 percent of snaps for six consecutive weeks, a pattern he will likely continue in Sunday's divisional contest. In the Jets' last meeting with the Patriots during Week 11, Phillips logged five tackles (two solo) on 41 defensive snaps.

Alvin Kamara RB | NO
Saints' Alvin Kamara: Out again in Week 17
Kamara (knee/ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game in Tennessee, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.
Kamara thus will miss a fifth consecutive contest due to the sprained MCL that he suffered in Week 12 against the Falcons. His last chance to play again this season is a Week 18 visit to the Falcons, but the Saints have been out of the playoff picture for some time, so it'd be somewhat of a surprise if Kamara suits up for that contest.

Mason Tipton WR | NO
Saints' Mason Tipton: Officially questionable for Week 17
Tipton (groin) is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Titans, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.
Tipton has been listed as a limited participant on all three of New Orleans' practice reports for Week 17. With Chris Olave (back) also considered questionable to play Sunday after having been added to the injury report Friday, Tipton could have a chance to handle an expanded role on offense alongside Kevin Austin if he's cleared to suit up versus Tennessee. That said, Olave has played through his back issue with regularity since roughly Week 13.

Cedric Gray LB | TEN
Titans' Cedric Gray: Avoids injury designation
Gray (concussion) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's contest against the Saints, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.
Gray put together three straight full practices leading into Week 17, and after clearing concussion protocol, he is ready to go versus the Saints. The 23-year-old has 144 tackles (85 solo), including 1.0 sacks, and four pass breakups in 14 games this season.

Bhayshul Tuten RB | JAC
Jaguars' Bhayshul Tuten: Officially questionable for Week 17
Tuten (finger) has been deemed questionable to play against Indianapolis on Sunday, Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com reports.
Tuten missed last Sunday's win over Denver due to a finger injury, but he was able to log a trio of limited practice sessions this week. That gives him a chance of suiting up Sunday, though his status may not be determined until Jacksonville releases its list of inactives approximately 90 minutes prior to the 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff. If Tuten can't play, LeQuint Allen and DeeJay Dallas would be the Jaguars' backfield options behind top tailback Travis Etienne.

Sebastian Joseph-Day DT | PIT
Titans' Sebastian Joseph-Day: Set to play Week 17
Joseph-Day (calf) doesn't have an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Saints, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Joseph-Day has played in all 15 games for the Titans so far this season and will continue that streak in Sunday's contest. The defensive end saw his lowest snap share of the season against the Chiefs in Week 16, likely due to the calf injury that led to his appearance on Wednesday's injury report. Now that he's been cleared of any injury designation and is set to suit up, the 30-year-old will likely return to a higher amount of defensive snaps in Sunday's game.
