QAmon-Ra St. Brown
WR DET (8)
The Lions listed St. Brown (knee) as a limited participant in Tuesday's walk-through practice.
EDGE Analysis
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.
David Montgomery RB DET (8) Tue 12/23/25 6:21 PM
David Montgomery
RB DET (8)
The Lions listed Montgomery as a non-participant on Tuesday's injury report due to an illness.
EDGE Analysis
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 reprise his usual duties as Jahmyr Gibbs' top backup in Thursday's game against the Vikings.
QJavonte Williams RB DAL (10) Tue 12/23/25 6:09 PM
QJavonte Williams
RB DAL (10)
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.
OUTRyan Flournoy WR DAL (10) Tue 12/23/25 6:01 PM
OUTRyan Flournoy
WR DAL (10)
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.
OUTPat Bryant WR DEN (12) Tue 12/23/25 5:56 PM
OUTPat Bryant
WR DEN (12)
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.
OUTT.J. Hockenson TE MIN (6) Tue 12/23/25 5:48 PM
OUTT.J. Hockenson
TE MIN (6)
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.
Aaron Jones RB MIN (6) Tue 12/23/25 5:41 PM
Aaron Jones
RB MIN (6)
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.
OUTJordan Mason RB MIN (6) Tue 12/23/25 5:33 PM
OUTJordan Mason
RB MIN (6)
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.
IRJustin Fields QB NYJ (9) Tue 12/23/25 5:28 PM
IRJustin Fields
QB NYJ (9)
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.
QAireontae Ersery HOU (6) Tue 12/23/25 5:25 PM
QAireontae Ersery
HOU (6)
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.
