Denzel Perryman
Not going to play in Week 18
LB

LAC

1hr ago
Analysis
Perryman will miss his second straight contest and sixth over Los Angeles' past seven games due to a groin injury. The veteran linebacker will finish the regular season with 55 tackles (39 solo), including 1.0 sacks, over 11 contests. It remains to be seen if Perryman will be ready to return by the Chargers' wild-card matchup next weekend. Troy Dye has been starting alongside Daiyan Henley in Perryman's stead.
Alohi Gilman
Comes off IR on Saturday
S
•
LAC
•
1hr ago
Analysis
Gilman had been on IR since Nov. 30 due to a hamstring injury. He was designated to return Wednesday and logged an LP/LP/FP practice progression this week. Gilman's activation means he could play Sunday against the Raiders, but if he doesn't suit up, Tony Jefferson may log another start at safety.
Clyde Edwards-Helaire
Up from practice squad
RB
•
NO
•
1hr ago
Analysis
With Kendre Miller (concussion) out and Alvin Kamara (groin) doubtful for Week 18 action, Edwards-Helaire will be among the RB options for the Saints on Sunday along with Jamaal Williams and Jordan Mims. In Week 17 against the Raiders, Kamara also was sidelined, Miller sustained his head injury, and Mims was a healthy scratch, which left Edwards-Helaire (26 of 60 snaps) and Williams (25 of 60) to split work. Having said that, Edwards turned his seven touches into 30 yards from scrimmage, while Williams managed 24 total yards on three touches.
Ja'Lynn Polk
Shifts to IR
WR
•
NE
•
1hr ago
Analysis
Polk had already been ruled out Friday, so the transaction is just meant to help the team sign a player to the active roster for the final game of the season. The 2024 second-round pick was a dramatic disappointment given the wide receivers taken after the rookie as Polk finished with just 12 receptions for 87 yards and two touchdowns despite playing 15 games and 412 offensive snaps during those contests. The Patriots are expected to aggressively add to their wide receiver room, and it wouldn't be a surprise to see Polk way down the pass-catching hierarchy entering the 2025 campaign.
Dante Miller
Added to roster for Week 18
RB
•
NYG
•
1hr ago
Analysis
Miller has spent the majority of the season on New York's practice squad, though he did get two elevations during the campaign. In those games, he recorded a combined seven snaps on special teams and one snap on offense. Miller could get a bit more opportunity Sunday against Philadelphia with the Giants having nothing to play for except draft-pick slotting, but he's still expected to fourth on the running-back depth chart behind Tyrone Tracy, Devin Singletary and Eric Gray.
Tay Martin
Added to active roster Saturday
WR
•
TEN
•
1hr ago
Analysis
Martin began the season on San Francisco's practice squad before being cut in early September. Tennessee signed him to their practice squad shortly thereafter, and he had remained there until signing to the active roster Saturday. Martin played in three games for the 49ers over the previous two seasons, logging four offensive snaps and 25 special teams snaps without recording any additional stats. He'll likely play a depth role at wide receiver for the Titans on Sunday versus Houston if he's active.
Chris Oladokun
Gets elevation for Week 18
QB
•
KC
•
1hr ago
Analysis
Patrick Mahomes (ankle) isn't expected to play Sunday against Denver with Kansas City having wrapped up the AFC's No. 1 playoff seed, so the Chiefs are likely to deploy Oladokun as their backup QB behind Carson Wentz. Oladokun has yet to see action in an NFL game, and he's spent the last two yeas with Kansas City's practice squad. He probably won't see much, if any, action Sunday unless Wentz is forced to exit the contest.
Pete Werner
Ruled out for Week 18
LB
•
NO
•
1hr ago
Analysis
Werner was in concussion protocol throughout the week and wasn't able to be cleared ahead of the Saints' season finale. He'll thus miss his fourth game of the campaign. Werner will finish 2024 with 92 tackles (54 solo) -- one shy of his career-best mark -- along with one pass defensed over 13 contests. He's signed with New Orleans through the end of the 2026 season.
Dallas Goedert
Activated from IR
TE
•
PHI
•
1hr ago
Analysis
After practicing fully all week, Goedert will be available for his first game action since he suffered a knee injury Week 13 at Baltimore. While many of the Eagles starters won't suit up in the season finale. the team seemingly wants Goedert to get his legs under him in a game scenario in advance of the playoffs. It's unclear how much run he may get Sunday, but Grant Calcaterra and E.J. Jenkins will be Philadelphia's other options at tight end this weekend.
