  • Cardinals' Channing Tindall: Dealing with knee injury

    Tindall (knee) is questionable to return to Sunday's contest against the Rams, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

    Tindall sustained the injury in the first quarter, and his status for the rest of the game is now in question. The linebacker operates primarily as a special-teams asset, so his absence doesn't carry any impact on defense for Arizona.

  • Saints' Audric Estime: Plays workhorse role in loss

    Estime rushed 21 times for 63 yards and brought in all five targets for 43 yards in the Saints' 19-17 loss to the Falcons on Sunday.

    With Alvin Kamara (knee) sidelined once again to close out the season, Estime easily paced the Saints' ground attack in carries and rushing yards for a second straight week. The second-year pro was much less efficient than during his 14-carry, 94-yard performance against the Titans in Week 17, but Estime helped make up for it with an impressive day as a pass catcher. Estime put some good play on tape over the last two games, and with Kamara's future uncertain, it's possible Estime enters the final year of his deal with New Orleans in position to compete for significant playing time in 2026.

  • Bijan Robinson RB | ATL

    Falcons' Bijan Robinson: Bottled up in season-ending win

    Robinson rushed 15 times for 33 yards and brought in all three targets for 10 yards in the Falcons' 19-17 win over the Saints on Sunday.

    Fresh off a memorable 195-yard effort on the ground against the Rams on Monday night, Robinson was stonewalled -- albeit while having a rushing touchdown called back due to an offensive holding penalty -- by a Saints defense that had frequently been vulnerable to the run over the course of the season. Robinson's yardage tally on the ground was his lowest since Week 8, but despite Sunday's downturn, the 2023 first-round pick finished the 2025 campaign with a career-high 1,478 rushing yards, seven rushing touchdowns and a career-best 79-820-4 receiving line while playing in all 17 games for the second consecutive season.

  • Ty Summers LB | CHI

    Bears' Ty Summers: Carted off field with foot injury

    Summers (foot) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Lions.

    Per Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune, Summers injured his foot during the opening kickoff. The injury was severe enough for Summers to be carted off the field, and while he's considered questionable to return, it's more likely that he will be sidelined the rest of the way. He has served solely on special teams this season, so his absence wouldn't impact the Bears' rotation on defense.

  • Rico Payton CB | NYG

    Giants' Rico Payton: Getting evaluated for concussion

    Payton was evaluated for a possible concussion during Sunday's 34-17 win versus the Cowboys, Evan Barnes of Newsday reports.

    Payton tallied a career-high seven tackles in Week 18, but it looks like he may have been hurt in the process. With the Giants eliminated from postseason contention, he'll have until the new league year to rest and recover from any injury.

  • Giants' Tyrone Tracy: Career-high 159 scrimmage yards

    Tracy rushed 18 times for 103 yards and lost a fumble while catching eight of nine targets for 56 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 34-17 win over the Cowboys. He finishes the 2025 season with 740 rushing yards and two rushing touchdowns, as well as 36 catches for 288 yards and two touchdowns on 48 targets.

    Tracy capped his sophomore season with a career-high 159 scrimmage yards as the Giants notched their fourth win of the campaign. Rookie fourth-round pick Cam Skattebo established himself as the lead back prior to dislocating his ankle in Week 8, but Tracy figures to maintain a substantial role in the Giants' 2026 backfield regardless of how Skattebo's recovery goes. Tracy has exceeded 1,000 scrimmage yards in each of his first two NFL seasons.

  • Jaguars' Cole Van Lanen: Hurts knee Sunday

    Van Lanen left Sunday's 41-7 win versus the Titans with a knee injury, Demetrius Harvey of The Florida Times-Union reports.

    Van Lanen left the game in the middle of the fourth quarter when Jacksonville already held a 27-point lead, so any ding or bruise might have been sufficient reason for the Jaguars to reel in their starting left tackle. His status will be worth keeping an eye on as Jacksonville gets ready to host its first postseason game since 2022.

  • Lions' Kayode Awosika: Won't suit up vs. Chicago

    Awosika (illness) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Bears.

    Awosika will not play in Sunday's regular-season finale, so Michael Niese and Miles Frazier will serve as the top reserves on the offensive line. Awosika signed a one-year contract with the Lions in March and will enter the offseason as an unrestricted free agent.

  • Taylor Decker OT | DET

    Lions' Taylor Decker: Cleared to play Week 18

    Decker (shoulder) is active for Sunday's game against the Bears.

    Decker has been cleared to return from a one-game absence due to a shoulder injury. He'll reclaim his starting spot at left tackle while Dan Skipper starts on the right side due to the absence of Penei Sewell (ankle).

  • Texans' Kaevon Merriweather: Suffers knee injury in victory

    Merriweather suffered a knee injury in Sunday's 38-30 win over the Colts.

    Merriweather sustained the injury in the second half, and he was ultimately unable to return to action. With Houston set to play in the wild-card round next weekend, the safety will look to return to practice as soon as possible.
