Williams (neck) was a limited participant in Tuesday's practice, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Williams is nursing the neck issue coming out of this past Sunday's loss to the Chargers, and though he has yet to turn in a full practice this week, the Cowboys haven't provided an indication that the running back is at risk of missing Thursday's game in Washington. That being said, with the 6-8-1 Cowboys having been eliminated from playoff contention, Williams may not be asked to shoulder the heavy workloads he's managed for most of the first 16 weeks of the season over the next two games. Dallas had already peeled back Williams' playing time and usage in Week 16, as he played 57 percent of snaps and handled a season-low 11 touches while backup Malik Davis saw added work.

Flournoy (knee) was listed as a non-participant in Tuesday's practice, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dallas had deemed Flournoy a limited participant for Monday's walk-through session, but the wideout may have suffered a setback in that workout that prompted the team to hold him out for Tuesday's practice. Flournoy was still present at the Cowboys' facility Tuesday, though he was relegated to rehabbing off to the side and was sporting a brace on his right knee, per Todd Archer of ESPN.com. He'll have one more chance to practice this week before the Cowboys decide whether he'll take a designation into Thursday's game at Washington.

Bryant (concussion) didn't participate in Tuesday's walk-through practice, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bryant sustained a concussion after he took a big hit in the closing minute of Sunday's 34-20 loss to the Jaguars, resulting in him being admitted to a local hospital following the game. The wideout has since been discharged after clearing all subsequent diagnostic testing, but he appears to be facing long odds to clear the five-step concussion protocol ahead of Thursday's game against the Chiefs. If Bryant isn't available for the Christmas Day contest, Marvin Mims and Lil'Jordan Humphrey would likely share the No. 3 receiver role.

Hockenson (shoulder) was listed as a non-participant in Tuesday's walk-through practice.

EDGE Analysis

Hockenson hasn't logged any practice activity this week, so he'll likely need to be listed as at least a limited participant in Wednesday's session to have a shot at playing Thursday against the Lions. If Hockenson is able to play through the shoulder issue, he'll be working with undrafted rookie quarterback Max Brosmer, who has been named the Vikings' Week 17 starter with J.J. McCarthy (hand) ruled out. In Brosmer's lone other start in a Week 13 blowout loss to the Seahawks, Hockenson was one of the few Minnesota skill-position players to deliver a useful fantasy line, as he finished with six catches for 59 yards on six targets.

The Vikings listed Jones (ankle) as a limited participant in Tuesday's walk-through practice.

EDGE Analysis

Jones has yet to turn in a full practice this week, but so long as he maintains at least limited participation Wednesday, he should be in good shape to play Thursday against the Lions. In this past Sunday's 16-13 win over the Giants, Jones earned a season-high 23 touches and accounted for 93 yards from scrimmage. He was aided by Jordan Mason's early exit due to ankle injury, and with Mason having yet to practice this week and trending toward sitting Thursday, Jones could be in store for another elevated workload against Detroit.

Mason (ankle) was a non-participant in Tuesday's walk-through practice.

EDGE Analysis

With the Vikings estimating Mason as a non-participant on both of their first two Week 17 injury reports, the 26-year-old hasn't been ruled out from playing Thursday against the Lions, but he's being viewed as a "longshot" to suit up, per Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com. Assuming Mason is formally ruled out for the Week 17 game following the release of Wednesday's injury report, Aaron Jones would be in line to lead the Minnesota backfield Thursday, provided he can move past the ankle injury that rendered him a limited participant in Tuesday's walk-through.

Jets head coach Aaron Glenn said Tuesday that Fields (knee) is set to be placed on injured reserve.

EDGE Analysis

The transaction is likely to be made official Wednesday, when New York will likely add another player to its 53-man roster in a corresponding move. Fields hadn't been available for any of the Jets' last three games, and though the quarterback resumed practicing in a limited fashion last week, the Jets opted to shut him down after his condition hadn't improved as quickly as the team had hoped. The 26-year-old is under contract through next season, but the Jets are unlikely to view him as anything more than a backup option heading into 2026 following an unproductive run as the team's starter over the first 11 weeks of 2025. Over his nine appearances, Fields completed 62.7 percent of his passes for 6.2 yards per attempt and a 7:1 TD:INT to go with 383 yards (5.4 per carry) and four scores on the ground, but he lost three fumbles and took 27 sacks on his 231 dropbacks.

Ersery underwent surgery to repair his broken hand Tuesday and is without a timetable for return, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ersery has been Houston's starting left tackle since Week 2, so this is a significant loss for a Texans team that is on a hot streak headed into the postseason. Tytus Howard and Trent Brown (knee) are options to take over at left tackle for the Texans while Ersery is idle.

Denver placed Turner-Yell (knee) on the practice squad injured list Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

EDGE Analysis

Turner-Yell was injured in Sunday's loss to the Jaguars and will be required to miss at least the final two games of the regular season and the first two games of the playoffs. The 26-year-old has appeared in 31 regular-season games for Denver since the start of the 2022 season.

Kittle was diagnosed with a low-to-mid-grade ankle sprain following an MRI on Tuesday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

After he was forced out of Monday's 48-27 win over the Colts with the injury, Kittle said that he believed that he had avoided a high-ankle sprain, and follow-up tests have confirmed that's indeed the case. Though Kittle isn't facing a long-term injury, the star tight end could still be at risk of missing a game Sunday versus the Bears that has important playoff-positioning implications at stake. Before departing late in the third quarter Monday, Kittle still delivered for his fantasy managers, posting seven catches for a season-high 115 yards and a touchdown on eight targets.
