Bills head coach Sean McDermott said that Allen (foot) won't participate Tuesday in the team's unofficial walk-through practice, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Allen is tending to a sore right foot in the aftermath of the Bills' 23-20 win over the Browns on Sunday, when the quarterback took a back seat as a passer (12 completions on 19 attempts for a season-low 130 yards and no touchdowns) but continued to be involved as a ball carrier (seven totes for 17 yards). McDermott noted that Allen is still hurting two days after the game, but the Bills fully anticipate that the 29-year-old will suit up this Sunday against the Eagles.

Burden (ankle) wasn't spotted on the field Tuesday during the Bears' unofficial practice, Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Burden was listed as a non-participant on all three of the Bears' practice reports in Week 16 before sitting out Saturday's 22-16 overtime win over the Packers. Rome Odunze (foot) was also sidelined for a third straight game, and with neither wideout logging any activity in an unofficial session Tuesday, both could be trending in the wrong direction for Sunday's game at San Francisco. If Burden and Odunze are both held out again in Week 17, DJ Moore would have a clearer path to added volume in the passing game after he contributed a 5-97-1 receiving line on seven targets in the win over Green Bay.

Odunze (foot) isn't participating in Tuesday's unofficial practice session, Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Bears won't have to submit their next injury report until Wednesday, but if his lack of activity Tuesday is any indication, Odunze looks poised to remain a non-participant in practice to begin Week 17 prep. Earlier Tuesday, head coach Ben Johnson told Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com that Odunze is in a "good spot" in his recovery and remains on track to play again this season, but the wideout doesn't look to be pushing for a return for this Sunday's game in San Francisco. Odunze hasn't taken the field for any of the Bears' last three games due to a stress fracture in his foot, which he aggravated again while warming up prior to a Week 15 game against the Browns.

Johnson (foot) was absent from Tuesday's practice, Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

EDGE Analysis

If it is indeed a non-participation day for Johnson, it would mark the sixth week that the offensive tackle could not participate to start the week. The left tackle missed the last five games that started with this pattern and, as such, is on pace to miss Sunday's matchup against the Bills. Even if Johnson can practice this week, he may not start Sunday's game, as the Eagles have already clinched a playoff spot by winning the NFC East.

Head coach Matt LaFleur said that Jacobs (knee/ankle) will be a limited participant in Tuesday's practice, Weston Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jacobs shed his questionable tag and was cleared to play through his nagging knee and ankle injuries in this past Saturday's 22-16 overtime loss to the Bears, but the Packers ended up managing his playing time more carefully than usual. Though Jacobs still earned 14 touches (accounting for 48 yards), Emanuel Wilson saw equal usage (14 carries for 82 yards) and outsnapped the former 33-28. On a positive note, Jacobs emerged from the game without any setbacks, which is supported by his presence on the field to kick off Week 17 prep. Jacobs will still have his reps managed Wednesday, but his limited session marks a step forward from his participation from last week, when he didn't practice in any fashion leading up to the matchup with the Bears. Jacobs should be ready to handle a heavier workload this Saturday versus the Ravens, barring any renewed soreness with his knee leading up to the contest.

Whyle (concussion) will be a limited participant in Tuesday's practice, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Whyle missed the Packers' Week 16 overtime loss to the Bears due to the concussion he sustained in the Week 15 loss to the Broncos. The tight end's potential return for Week 17 comes at a perfect time, as Tucker Kraft (ACL) and John FitzPatrick (Achilles) both have suffered season-ending injuries, leaving Luke Musgrave as the sole healthy tight end on the 53-man roster. If Whyle can clear the league's concussion protocol in time for Saturday's game against the Ravens, he will likely have a spot as the tight end No. 2, set to contribute in both the passing game as a receiver and the run game as a blocker.

The Chargers signed Freeman to the practice squad Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Freeman was waived Dec. 16 to make room for safety Marcus Maye but quickly finds himself back on the practice squad. The signing of fellow running back Jaret Patterson to the active roster due to the injury to Kimani Vidal (neck) seems to have cleared up a roster spot that the Chargers thought best used on additional depth at the position.

Head coach Matt LaFleur said that Willis (shoulder) will be a limited participant in Tuesday's practice, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

After Jordan Love (concussion) was forced out in the middle of the second quarter of this past Saturday's 22-16 overtime loss to the Bears, Willis stepped in under center and moved the ball effectively. He completed nine of 11 passes for 121 yards and one touchdown while adding 44 yards on 10 carries, but the dual-threat signal-caller appears to still be banged up after landing hard on his throwing shoulder late in the fourth quarter. Love appears to be making some progress through the NFL's concussion protocol and will join Willis as a limited participant at Tuesday's practice, but LaFleur noted that the presence of both quarterbacks on the field to begin Week 17 prep doesn't necessarily make him more confident that either or both will be available for this Saturday's game against the Ravens, per Zach Jacobson of 247Sports.com. LaFleur added that how Willis and Love progress as the week unfolds will determine the availability of both signal-callers for the weekend.

The Chargers signed Patterson to the active roster from the practice squad Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Patterson has bounced between the Chargers' practice squad and active roster all season. The running back has played in four games, totalling 129 rush yards and a rushing touchdown on 32 attempts. With Kimani Vidal (neck) questionable, Patterson could see carries in Sunday's game against the Texans as a rotational back behind the starter Omarion Hampton.

Head coach Matt LaFleur said that Love (concussion) will be a limited participant in Tuesday's practice, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Though Love was diagnosed with a concussion just three days earlier after being forced out of Saturday's 22-16 overtime loss to the Bears, he already appears to be making some progress through the league's five-step protocol for head injuries. That being said, LaFleur noted that he doesn't necessarily feel any better of Love's chances of being able to play this Saturday against the Ravens than he did 48 hours ago, with the coach noting that the Packers need to see how the quarterback progresses over the next few days before his Week 17 status is determined, per Zach Jacobson of 247Sports.com. LaFleur offered similar sentiments about backup Malik Willis' odds of playing Saturday, as Willis will also be limited Tuesday after sustaining an injury to his throwing shoulder while coming on in relief of Love in Week 16. At this stage of the week, practice-squad member Clayton Tune is the only quarterback in the organization who's fully healthy.
