Tue 12/23/25 11:42 AM

Hutchinson recorded three tackles (three solo), including 2.0 sacks, in the Lions' loss to the Steelers on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Hutchinson has now matched his career-high with 11.5 sacks this season. Through 15 games, Hutchinson has recored 42 tackles (28 solo), four forced fumbles, three pass breakups, including one interception, and one fumble recovery on 91 percent of the Lions' defensive snaps.

Jack Campbell
LB DET (8)
Tue 12/23/25 11:39 AM

Campbell recorded 16 tackles (seven solo), two pass breakups and one fumble recovery in Detroit's loss to Pittsburgh on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
The 16 tackles marked a new career-high for the third-year linebacker, who has logged double-digit tackles in three straight contests and five of his last six appearances. Through 15 games this season, all starts, Campbell has piled up a career-best 159 tackles (83 solo), including 5.0 sacks, three pass breakups, three forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries on 99 percent of the defensive snaps.

OUTJared Wilson
NE (14)
Tue 12/23/25 11:29 AM

Coach Mike Vrabel said Tuesday that Wilson is in the league's concussion protocol, Chad Graff of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
The third-round rookie apparently suffered the concussion in Sunday night's win over the Ravens despite playing 100 percent of the offensive snaps. If Wilson is unable to play Sunday against the Jets, Ben Brown would likely get the start at left guard.

Ben Brown
NE (14)
Tue 12/23/25 11:27 AM

The Patriots signed Brown to a two-year extension worth up to $6.6 million on Tuesday, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The base value of the deal is worth closer to $5 million, according to Reiss. Brown has appeared in all 15 games this season and has made a pair of starts at left guard. He's the Patriots' top interior reserve offensive lineman and is now under contract through the 2027 campaign.

IRDMilton Williams
DE/IL NE (14)
Tue 12/23/25 11:23 AM

The Patriots designated Williams (ankle) for return from injured reserve Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
New England won't release its first Week 17 injury report until Wednesday, but Williams looks poised to be listed as at least a limited participant. Since the defensive lineman went down with a high-ankle sprain in Week 11, the New England run defense has been trampled by Derrick Henry (18-128-2 rushing line), James Cook (22-107-2), the tandem of Tyrone Tracy and Devin Singletary (22-104-1), and Chase Brown (19-107-0) over the last four contests. If all goes well in practice this week, Williams could return to action as soon as Sunday versus the Jets.

OUTKayshon Boutte
WR NE (14)
Tue 12/23/25 11:19 AM

Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel confirmed Tuesday that Boutte is in concussion protocol, Ben Volin of The Boston Globe reports.
EDGE Analysis
Boutte was unable to return to this past Sunday's 28-24 win over the Ravens after checking out of the game in the fourth quarter to be evaluated for a head injury. With Boutte now having been diagnosed with a concussion, he could face an uphill battle to clear the five-step protocol in advance of the Patriots' Week 17 game against the Jets. Boutte's potential absence could free up more playing time out wide for rookie Kyle Williams, who had previously seen his largest snap shares of the season in Weeks 10 and 11 while Boutte was sidelined with a hamstring injury.

Blake Grupe
K IND (11)
Tue 12/23/25 11:17 AM

Grupe made both of his field-goal tries and all three PATs in Monday night's 48-27 loss to the 49ers.
EDGE Analysis
Grupe's field goals were good from 39 and 51 yards, and he's now a perfect 7-for-7 on field goals and 5-for-5 on extra points across three games with the Colts after struggling through 11 contests with the Saints earlier this season.

QTreVeyon Henderson
RB NE (14)
Tue 12/23/25 11:16 AM

Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel confirmed Tuesday that Henderson is in concussion protocol, Ben Volin of The Boston Globe reports.
EDGE Analysis
Henderson missed the entire second half of Sunday's 28-24 win over the Ravens due to what the Patriots had been classifying as a head injury, which stemmed from a hard fall to the turf. With Vrabel now confirming that Henderson has sustained a concussion, the rookie running back will have limited time to clear the five-step protocol in advance of this Sunday's game at the Jets. If Henderson can't play in Week 17, Rhamondre Stevenson would likely move back into a lead role out of the New England backfield.

Eddy Pineiro
K SF (14)
Tue 12/23/25 11:14 AM

Pineiro converted two of three field-goal attempts and all six PATs in Monday night's 48-27 win over the Colts.
EDGE Analysis
The Niners scored on seven of their first eight possessions versus Indianapolis, with the only unsuccessful drive being a missed 64-yard field goal from Pineiro as time expired before halftime. Pineiro's two makes were good from 25 and 38 yards. Through 12 games this season, Pineiro is 27-for-28 on field goals and 28-for-32 on extra points. His 96 percent success rate on field goals leads the league.

Tez Johnson
WR TB (9)
Tue 12/23/25 10:53 AM

Johnson secured his only target for minus-1 yard in the Buccaneers' 23-20 loss to the Panthers on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
The rookie's minimal role persisted in Sunday's loss, with Johnson seeing the field on just 25 percent (16 snaps) of the Buccaneers' offensive plays. The recent return of Mike Evans and season debut of Jalen McMillan has predictably pushed Johnson down the depth chart, where he projects to remain for the final two games of the regular season and in the postseason, if Tampa Bay advances.
