Link to storyTampa Bay Buccaneers SS Tykee Smith was apparently benched in Week 17 against the Miami Dolphins, as head coach Todd Bowles opted to use backup S Christian Izien instead. Smith typically plays 100 percent of the snaps, and there was no report of injury. Smith was limited to 47 percent of the defensive snaps, and the benching might have been due to Smith appearing to be out of position on a long 63-yard TD to WR Theo Wease Jr.
Link to storyTampa Bay Buccaneers RBs Bucky Irving and Rachaad White nearly split the backfield snaps right down the middle in Week 17 against the Miami Dolphins, with Irving seeing 54 percent of the snaps, to White's 48 percent. White was on the field for some of Irving's snaps because he is the best pass-blocking tailback.

Detroit Lions WR Calvin Johnson leads all receivers with 1,964 yards in 2012, and teammate WR Cooper Kupp (1,947 in 2021) with the Rams.

Denver Broncos TE Lucas Krull (foot) hopes to be cleared to return to the field in one to two weeks, according to a source.
Link to storyBuffalo Bills LB Terrel Bernard (calf) will not play in the Week 18 game, according to head coach Sean McDermott.
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. |

Houston Texans WR Justin Watson (calf) was activated from the Reserve/Injured list Monday, Dec. 29.
| Footballguys view: Watson went on injured reserve Sept. 17 after injuring a calf muscle/Achilles' tendon in the Week 2 loss to the Buccaneers. He returned to practice Dec. 10. Watson, a former fifth-round pick of the Bucs, has three catches for 30 yards on four targets in two games. |

Link to storyWashington Commanders OT Laremy Tunsil (oblique) is still unable to do some things because of his oblique injury, so his availability for Week 18 is uncertain, according to head coach Dan Quinn.
Link to storyAtlanta Falcons practice squad WR Chris Blair was elevated to the active roster Monday, Dec. 29, and will be available for the Week 17 game.
Link to storyWashington Commanders C Tyler Biadasz (ankle, knee) is unlikely to play in Week 18 because of his ankle and knee injuries, according to head coach Dan Quinn. Quinn said Biadasz will not need surgery on either injury.
Link to storyWashington Commanders QB Marcus Mariota (hand, quadriceps) seems like a long shot to play in Week 18 but has not been ruled out at this point, according to head coach Dan Quinn.
| Footballguys view: Josh Johnson, who started against the Cowboys, is likely to make another start against the Eagles this week. It's a tough matchup under normal circumstances, but the Eagles have yet to decide their approach with a playoff bye and homefield advantage no longer possible for them. The Eagles will be either the No. 2 seed or the No. 3 seed in the NFC playoffs. Their approach could make a difference for the Commanders' outlook in this one. We'll follow up on that -- and on Mariota -- as needed. |

Tampa Bay Buccaneers RB Josh Williams was waived Monday, Dec. 29.
Link to storyDallas Cowboys TE Jake Ferguson (calf) has not been ruled out of the Week 18 game at this time, according to head coach Brian Schottenheimer.
| Footballguys view: To be clear, Schottenheimer said if players are healthy, they will play Sunday. It remains to be seen if Ferguson will be healthy enough to hit the field against the Giants. Luke Schoonmaker and Brevyn Spann-Ford are next men up at the position if Ferguson isn't available. We'll monitor this one throughout the week. |
Dallas Cowboys RB Javonte Williams (shoulder) has not been ruled out of the Week 18 game at this time, according to head coach Brian Schottenheimer.
| Footballguys view: Williams was able to max out all of his contract incentives for the year in Week 17, but he couldn't finish the game due to his nagging shoulder injury. By keeping him sidelined for the Week 18 finale against the Giants, Williams will be a free agent after the season, so getting a longer look at Malik Davis, who recorded 103 yards on Christmas Day, might be wise, especially after rookies Jaydon Blue and Phil Mafah failed to make an impact. We'll be watching for more. |

Dallas Cowboys QB Dak Prescott will play in the Week 18 game, according to head coach Brian Schottenheimer.
| Footballguys view: The Cowboys enter Week 18 with nothing to play for but pride and NFL draft position. Still, Prescott has been adamant that he wants to finish out the season on the field. On Monday, Schottenheimer made it clear that the plan for Prescott is unchanged. Although the coach did not completely close the door on backup quarterback Joe Milton III suiting up against the Giants, Prescott will get the start. Entering the finale, Prescott leads the league in passing and has an opportunity to finish as the league's passing yards leader for the first time in his professional career. |

Baltimore Ravens QB Lamar Jackson's (back) availability for Week 18 is uncertain at this point, but head coach John Harbaugh said the team will know more about his status in a few days.
| Footballguys view: Jackson missed Saturday's game against the Packers, but Harbaugh said there were some signs last week that Jackson was starting to get better. FOX Sports insider Jay Glazer reported the same Sunday, suggesting the tightness in Jackson's bruised back loosened up over the weekend. Whatever the case, Harbaugh said that whether Jackson is ready to go will ultimately be decided not by him but by the team's medical staff. Stay tuned. The Ravens-Steelers winner on Sunday night will capture the AFC North title and secure a No. 4 seed in the playoffs. The loser heads home for the season. |
