Las Vegas placed Chinn (back) on injured reserve Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Chinn played almost every defensive snap in each of the Raiders' first 15 games, but he's been dealing with a back injury for most of December. Las Vegas is firmly in the hunt for the No. 1 overall pick in next year's NFL Draft and has no reason to expose Chinn to potentially worsening the issue, so the team has chosen to shut him down. Chinn will end the campaign with 114 tackles (including 1.0 sacks), two forced fumbles and two defensed passes.

Poyer (hamstring) was a non-participant in Wednesday's walkthrough practice.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran from Oregon State was deemed day-to-day with a hamstring issue following the Week 16 win over the Browns, so Wednesday's DNP comes as no surprise. Poyer has been an integral part of Buffalo's secondary this season, recording 70 total tackles and three passes defensed, including an interception, over 10 appearances. If he's sidelined for the Week 17 matchup against the Eagles, Jordan Hancock will likely operate as the Bills' top strong safety.

Allen (foot) was listed as limited in Wednesday's walk-through.

EDGE Analysis

Allen now has two more chances to upgrade his practice participation level before the Bills assign their Week 17 injury designations Friday. Per Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN, the QB -- who is dealing with soreness in his right foot -- said Tuesday that he "will be playing, (is) planning on playing," in Sunday's game against the Eagles. However, such an outcome hinges on Allen avoiding any setbacks in the coming days.

Thompson (neck) was a limited participant in Wednesday's walkthrough practice.

EDGE Analysis

Thompson sustained a neck injury during the first quarter of the Bills' Week 16 win over the Browns, which prevented him from returning to the game. His ability to practice in a limited capacity -- albeit in a walkthrough -- indicates the veteran linebacker is day-to-day. Thompson would likely need to practice fully by Friday in order to avoid an injury designation heading into Sunday's game against the Eagles.

Prater (quadriceps) was labeled as a non-participant in Wednesday's practice walkthrough.

EDGE Analysis

Prater missed Buffalo's win over the Browns this past Sunday while dealing with a quad injury. Coach Sean McDermott said Tuesday that it's unclear if the veteran kicker will be able to return Sunday versus the Eagles, and his DNP status for Wednesday's walkthrough doesn't provide much insight in that regard. If Prater is unable to play against Philadelphia, Michael Badgley would likely handle kicking duties again.

Phillisp (ankle) did not participate in Wednesday's walkthrough practice.

EDGE Analysis

Phillips sustained an ankle injury during the Bills' Week 15 win over the Patriots, which caused him to miss this past Sunday's victory over the Browns. His DNP to open the week isn't a good sign, but he would give himself a chance to play this Sunday against the Eagles if he were to log at least a limited practice Friday.

Jones (calf) didn't participate in Wednesday's walkthrough practice.

EDGE Analysis

The 33-year-old played through his calf issue in the Week 16 win over the Browns, recording four total tackles and an interception across 41 defensive snaps. Jones likely needs to upgrade to full practice participation Thursday or Friday in order to avoid an injury designation in the Week 17 matchup against the Eagles on Sunday.

Bosa (hamstring) didn't participate in Wednesday's walkthrough practice.

EDGE Analysis

The 30-year-old played through a hamstring issue in the Bills' Week 16 win over the Browns, so Wednesday's DNP is likely precautionary. Bosa is an integral part of Buffalo's defensive line, recording 27 total tackles, including 5.0 sacks, five forced fumbles and two passes defensed over 14 appearances this season. He likely needs to upgrade to at least limited practice Thursday or Friday in order to suit up for the Week 17 matchup against the Eagles.

Knox (knee) was deemed a non-participant in Wednesday's practice walkthrough.

EDGE Analysis

Knox may have hurt his knee in Sunday's win over the Browns, though he played his usual amount (68 percent offensive snap share). Buffalo held a walkthrough Wednesday, so more clarity should come regarding Knox's status over the next two days. If Knox ends up unable to play Sunday against Philadelphia, Dalton Kincaid (knee) would likely see even more work as the No. 1 tight end (if he's able to play) while Jackson Hawes could have a larger role as well.

The Raiders placed Bowers (knee) on injured reserve Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Bowers kicked off his second pro campaign by suffering a knee injury Week 1, and while he eventually sat out Weeks 5-7, he surpassed 100 receiving yards only one more time through Week 16. Now that his season is officially over, he'll finish it with a 64-680-7 line on 86 targets in 12 contests. Bowers will yield TE reps to Michael Mayer, Ian Thomas and Carter Runyon for the final two games.
