Wilson (concussion) did not participate in Wednesday's practice, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wilson entered the league's concussion protocol following the Patriots' Week 16 victory over the Ravens. Even if he were to return to practice over the next two days, the rookie third-rounder would be prohibited from playing against the Jets on Sunday unless an independent neurologist clears him from the league's protocol. Ben Brown and Caedan Wallace would be the top candidates to start at left guard if Wilson were to miss time.

Lavonte David
LB TB (9)
David (rest) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.
EDGE Analysis
David is not listed with the knee injury he overcame before the Week 16 Sunday loss to the Panthers, but the veteran linebacker had an easier day as he rests for Sunday's matchup with the Dolphins. The 35-year-old will likely upgrade to a full participant by Friday, but regardless of his Week 17 practice status, he will probably suit up for Sunday's game barring any sudden injury.
Aaron Jones RB MIN (6) Wed 12/24/25 3:11 PM
Aaron Jones
RB MIN (6)
Jones (ankle) doesn't have a designation for Thursday's game against the Lions.
EDGE Analysis
Jones played through an in-game ankle injury this past Sunday at the Giants and paced the Vikings backfield with 23 touches for 93 yards from scrimmage. His season-high touch count was aided by the fact that fellow RB Jordan Mason was knocked out with an ankle issue of his own, and Mason won't be available to the offense Thursday. As a result, Jones is in line to handle a workhorse role again in Week 17, with Zavier Scott and Ty Chandler serving as the options at the position behind him.
Michael Mayer TE LV (8) Wed 12/24/25 3:09 PM
Michael Mayer
TE LV (8)
The Raiders placed Brock Bowers (knee) on injured reserve Wednesday, which means Mayer will serve as the Raiders' No. 1 tight end for the final two games of the regular season, beginning with Sunday's game against the Giants.
EDGE Analysis
Mayer has operated as the backup tight end for most of the campaign, though his best outing of the season -- five catches for 50 yards and a touchdown in a Week 6 win against the Titans -- came when Bowers was sidelined. With Bowers done for the year, Mayer will operate as the Raiders' top tight end in Week 17 and 18 while Ian Thomas and Carter Runyon provide depth at the position.
QDevin Culp TE TB (9) Wed 12/24/25 3:07 PM
QDevin Culp
TE TB (9)
Culp (illness) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.
EDGE Analysis
Culp seems to have come down with an illness, but his ability to practice even in a limited capacity implies that the tight end should be good to go for Sunday's game against the Dolphins. The 25-year-old will likely upgrade his practice participation later in the week and be cleared ahead of Sunday's game.

Fitzpatrick (calf) did not practice Wednesday, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
EDGE Analysis
Fitzpatrick sustained a calf injury during the Dolphins' Week 15 loss to the Steelers. He is considered week-to-week due to the injury, which prevented him from playing against the Bengals in Week 16. Fitzpatrick is unlikely to play against the Buccaneers on Sunday unless he's able to return to practice by Friday.

Eskridge (toe) did not participate in Wednesday's practice, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
EDGE Analysis
Eskridge sustained a toe injury during the Dolphins' Week 16 loss to the Bengals, which prevented him from returning to the game. The fifth-year wideout will have two more opportunities to log at least a limited practice heading into Sunday's Sunshine State clash against the Buccaneers.

PUPJosh Butler
CB DAL (10)
Butler (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Thursday's matchup against the Commanders, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Michigan State product returned to practice on Dec. 17 but will remain on the injured reserve list through Week 17. Butler has yet to play this season after posting 21 total tackles and five passes defensed across five contests in 2024. While he remains sidelined Thursday, Trevon Diggs and Caelen Carson (hamstring, questionable) will likely start as the Cowboys' top outside cornerbacks.
QTyrel Dodson LB MIA (12) Wed 12/24/25 2:59 PM
QTyrel Dodson
LB MIA (12)
Dodson (chest) was a non-participant in practice Wednesday, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
EDGE Analysis
Dodson logged a 95 percent defensive snap share in Sunday's loss to Cincinnati, but it appears he also picked up a chest injury. Beginning the week as a DNP isn't a great sign, but it's unclear how serious the issue is. Dodson will likely need to return to practice in some capacity over the next two days to have a chance of suiting up against Tampa Bay on Sunday.
QDrew Ogletree TE IND (11) Wed 12/24/25 2:58 PM
QDrew Ogletree
TE IND (11)
The Colts listed Ogletree (neck) as a DNP on Wednesday's estimated practice report.
EDGE Analysis
Ogletree sustained a neck injury during the Colts' loss to the 49ers on Sunday. The injury prevented him from participating in Wednesday's walkthrough, and the fourth-year tight end will have two more opportunities to return to practice ahead of Sunday's home game against the Jaguars.
