Tampa Bay Buccaneers QB Baker Mayfield (shoulder, knee) practiced in full on Thursday, Jan. 1.
| Footballguys view: Mayfield has been battling through multiple injuries, but he's going to be out there on Saturday against the Panthers. The Buccaneers have a chance at the playoffs but need some help and a win in Week 18. |

Baltimore Ravens QB Lamar Jackson (back) practiced in full on Thursday, Jan. 1.
| Footballguys view: A back injury can be tricky to deal with, especially for an incredibly athletic player like Jackson. The Ravens and Steelers are battling for the AFC North title and a playoff berth on Sunday. We've got Jackson as a QB2 with upside on Sunday night. |

Buffalo Bills QB Josh Allen (foot) did not practice on Thursday, Jan. 1.
| Footballguys view: Bills HC Sean McDermott told reporters that Allen is trending in the right direction ahead of Week 18's matchup with the Jets. That was before Wednesday's practice, but now he's a DNP on Thursday. Allen could be ready to play against the Jets, but in a game they should control easily the Bills might choose to shut him down early (if he does play). Stay tuned. |

Green Bay Packers QB Jordan Love (concussion) has cleared the concussion protocol, but QB Clayton Tune will start in Week 18 against the Minnesota Vikings.
| Footballguys view: It's a meaningless game for the Packers on Sunday. They're locked into the no.7 seed on the NFC side of the playoff bracket. Love will be ready for their Wild Card Round game next week. Tune is just a QB3 for Fantasy GMs out there still competing for a championship...which means he won't be in many starting lineups. |

Pittsburgh Steelers QB Aaron Rodgers said there would be one or two situations he would consider returning for in 2026, and NFL insider Ian Rapoport wonders if the Steelers would be one of them. The experience has been positive, and the team would need a bridge quarterback for a younger player next season.
| Footballguys view: Rodgers says he hasn't yet thought about his future. If the Steelers beat the Ravens in Week 18, they're headed to the playoffs as AFC North champion. He signed a one-year deal with the Steelers, and he may consider staying with the team in 2026 ...if he doesn't retire. The Steelers would be in the market for a quarterback (Malik Willis?) if Rodgers doesn't come back for next year. |

Las Vegas Raiders QB Geno Smith will not play in Week 18, according to head coach Pete Carroll. No starter has been named yet.
| Footballguys view: It's likely Kenny Pickett starting against the Chiefs in Week 18. Get ready for Pickett versus Chris Olodokun. |

Minnesota Vikings QB J.J. McCarthy (hand) will practice after a 'positive day,' according to head coach Kevin O'Connell.
| Footballguys view: Max Brosmer will play if McCarthy can't go. He's trending in the right direction, but this will come down to grip strength for the second-year quarterback. Most Vikings fans are done defending McCarthy, but a good game in a meaningless Week 18 game could help the vibes around his 2026 outlook. |

Washington Commanders QB Marcus Mariota (hand, quad) is doubtful for Week 18, according to head coach Dan Quinn.
| Footballguys view: Nothing has changed with this Mariota injury situation. That means Josh Johnson is going to start for the Commanders in the season finale. |

Green Bay Packers QB Malik Willis (shoulder) will be limited in practice on Wednesday, Dec. 31.
| Footballguys view: Jordan Love is working his way through the league concussion protocol. The Packers plan to rest their starters against the Vikings in Week 18. They are locked into the no.7 seed in the NFC bracket, so Willis is likely to start if he's healthy enough to play. |
Indianapolis Colts QB Anthony Richardson (eye) continues to recover from an orbital fracture and an injury to his right eye. He returned to practice in recent weeks, but he remains on the Reserve/Injured list. He is not expected to be activated prior to the Week 18 game against the Houston Texans.
| Footballguys view: The future is unknown with the former first-round pick. He's got physical talent, but that's not rare in this league. Richardson needs to stay healthy and prove to himself (and the league) that he can be a franchise quarterback. He's under contract through 2026. |

Free-agent QB Desmond Ridder (Vikings) signed with the Green Bay Packers' practice squad Wednesday, Dec. 31.
Link to storyGreen Bay Packers QB Jordan Love (concussion) remains in the protocol, but he'll practice Wednesday, Dec. 31.

Buffalo Bills QB Josh Allen (foot) sat out of practice Wednesday, Dec. 31, but he's trending in the right direction to play in Week 18, according to head coach Sean McDermott.

Baltimore Ravens QB Lamar Jackson (back) will practice Wednesday, Dec. 31.

Los Angeles Rams QB Matthew Stafford tossed two touchdowns in Week 17 against the Atlanta Falcons, giving him 42 passing TDs for the season. That's a new franchise record, breaking the old record of 41 TD passes held by Stafford (2021) and QB Kurt Warner (1999), when the organization was located in St. Louis.

Indianapolis Colts QB Seth Henigan, signed to the practice squad Monday, Dec. 29, could be added to the active roster for the Week 18 regular-season finale against the Houston Texans, but likely only in an emergency role, if at all.
Link to storyTampa Bay Buccaneers QB Baker Mayfield (knee, shoulder) was limited in practice on Tuesday, Dec. 30.
| Footballguys view: Mayfield has been dealing with a left (non-throwing) shoulder injury since earlier in the season. At this point, Mayfield doesn't appear to be at risk of missing Saturday's game against the Panthers, which may determine the winner of the NFC South. Mayfield has completed 62.8 percent of his passes for 3,490 yards with 25 touchdowns and 10 interceptions so far in 2025. He's rushed for 351 yards with a TD as well. Mayfield is QB12 on the season, but his 16.3 points per game rank 18th at the position. |

Indianapolis Colts QB Riley Leonard will start in Week 18 against the Houston Texans.
| Footballguys view: The move to Leonard ends Philip Rivers' run as a starter after coming out of a five-year retirement. Coach Shane Steichen, one of Rivers' closest friends, coaxed Rivers out of retirement because of his intimate knowledge of the offense and leadership capacity. But with the Colts eliminated from playoff contention last weekend, the team had to weigh whether it made sense to continue starting the 44-year-old Rivers. Asked about the prospect of Leonard starting on Sunday, Steichen said, "It will be good for his development." It will be less good for the fantasy outcomes of his supporting cast this week. |

Link to storyLos Angeles Chargers QB Justin Herbert (hand) will not start the Week 18 game, according to head coach Jim Harbaugh.
| Footballguys view: With the Chargers locked into a playoff spot and playing for nothing but seeding in their regular-season finale against the Broncos, Herbert will not take the field. His surgically-repaired left hand hasn't been a huge issue, but it's wise to give the QB a week off heading into the postseason. Trey Lance will get the start. It's also worth noting that Harbaugh said other starters with "the most bruises" and need "the most healing" won't play. We'll be watching for more on that, while reminding you that RB Kimani Vidal sat out last week with a neck injury. |
