Jackson (groin) isn't listed on the Chargers' practice report Tuesday.

Jackson hurt his groin Sunday versus the Cowboys and was unable to finish the game. Coach Jim Harbaugh said Monday that the veteran cornerback was considered day-to-day, but his absence from the team's first practice report of the week suggests Jackson's injury is a thing of the past. He should thus be able to take on his usual starting role Saturday versus Houston.

St-Juste (shoulder) is not listed on the Chargers' practice report Tuesday.

St-Juste missed the end of Sunday's win over Dallas after hurting his shoulder. Coach Jim Harbaugh said Monday that the veteran cornerback was considered day-to-day, but with no designation on the team's first practice report of the week, it appears St-Juste isn't dealing with a significant injury. He should be good to go for Saturday's battle against the Texans.

Hargrave (thigh) has been deemed a limited participant on Minnesota's estimated practice report both Monday and Tuesday.

Hargrave didn't play against the Giants on Sunday due to the thigh injury he suffered one week earlier versus Dallas. The Vikings haven't held an actual practice yet this week, but the veteran defensive lineman's listing as limited two straight days suggests he at least has a chance of suiting up Thursday against Detroit. However, if Hargrave has to miss that game, a combination of Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins and Elijah Williams could help fill the void.

Greenlaw (hamstring) was listed as a DNP on Tuesday's estimated practice report but is not expected to be placed on injured reserve, Luca Evans of The Denver Post reports.

Greenlaw sustained a non-contact hamstring injury during Sunday's loss to the Jaguars. There isn't a clear timeline for his return, and while a stint on injured reserve isn't on the table at this time, the veteran linebacker is trending toward not being available for Thursday's AFC West matchup against the Chiefs. Justin Strnad would be the top candidate to start at inside linebacker alongside Alex Singleton if Greenlaw were to miss time.

Harris (finger) didn't appear on the Chargers' initial Week 17 injury report released Tuesday.

Following Sunday's 34-17 win over the Cowboys, head coach Jim Harbaugh classified Harris as day-to-day with a finger issue, but the injury wasn't enough of a concern for the Chargers to list the rookie wideout on their weekly report. Harris thus looks to be in the clear for Saturday's game against the Texans, but he'll likely have to settle for more of a part-time role on offense after Quentin Johnston (groin) returned from a one-game absence in Week 16. Harris had handled a season-high 85 percent snap share in Week 15 while Johnston was sidelined, but Harris dropped back to a 45 percent share against Dallas.

Vidal (neck) was a non-participant in Tuesday's practice.

Vidal was forced out late in this past Sunday's 34-17 win over the Cowboys due to a neck strain and is being viewed as day-to-day ahead of the Chargers' Week 17 game Saturday versus the Texans. He'll need to upgrade to at least limited participation in practices Wednesday and Thursday to have a shot at playing this weekend.

Schultz was a limited participant in Tuesday's practice due to a knee injury.

The knee issue is a new concern for Schultz, who hasn't appeared on Houston injury reports since Week 12, when he was managing a shoulder concern leading up to the Texans' game against the Bills. Schultz has yet to miss a contest this season, and so long as he's able to continue practicing in some fashion Wednesday and/or Thursday, he should be ready to play Saturday against the Chargers.

Marks (ankle) was listed as a full participant for Tuesday's practice.

Marks' availability for this past Sunday's eventual 23-21 win over the Raiders appeared to come down to a game-time decision, but the Texans ultimately erred on the side of caution and held the rookie running back out for the first time all season. Nick Chubb (ribs) returned from a one-game absence of his own and gained 33 yards on six carries and nine yards on one reception, but it was Jawhar Jordan (15-53-0 rushing line, five catches for 17 yards on five targets) who saw the bulk of the work out of the backfield. Both Chubb and Jordan could have roles in the Week 17 game plan, but now that Marks is back practicing without limitations, expect him to serve as the Texans' lead option in Saturday's contest versus the Chargers.

The Lions listed St. Brown (knee) as a limited participant in Tuesday's walk-through practice.

Earlier Tuesday, head coach Dan Campbell told Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press that St. Brown is still battling "a little irritation" in his knee, but the Lions remain optimistic that the star wideout will play in Thursday's game in Minnesota. St. Brown may need to upgrade to full participation in Wednesday's session in order to avoid taking a questionable tag into Thursday, however.

The Lions listed Montgomery as a non-participant on Tuesday's injury report due to an illness.

Montgomery didn't appear on Detroit's initial Week 17 report that was released Monday, so the veteran running back presumably fell ill overnight or earlier Tuesday. As long as Montgomery is back on the field in some capacity Wednesday, he should be ready to handle his usual duties alongside Jahmyr Gibbs for Thursday's game against the Vikings.
