Jalen Hurts (QB) Philadelphia Eagles – Hurts was limited on Wednesday but is expected to fully clear the NFL’s concussion protocol on Thursday. That would put him in line to start. We will update Discord when news breaks.
Jordan Love (QB) Green Bay Packers – Love exited Week 18 with an elbow injury and has been limited in practice. That sounds concerning but there isn’t much concern that Love will miss this game or be limited. We’ll keep an eye on it.
Zay Flowers (WR) Baltimore Ravens – Dealing with a knee injury, Flowers has not practiced and is considered unlikely to play by NFL insider Ian Rapoport. However, Todd Monken said the team is “hopeful” that Flowers can suit up. However, with the Ravens being 10-point home favorites, we don’t think Flowers plays. UPDATE: Flowers has been ruled OUT.

A.J. Brown (WR) Philadelphia Eagles – Brown was limited Wednesday with a knee/rest designation. However, he’s expected to be a full-go for Sunday.
J.K. Dobbins (RB) Los Angeles Chargers – An ankle injury kept Dobbins limited on Wednesday. However, he has not had a setback and is expected to be fine against the Texans.
Jalen McMillian (WR) Tampa Bay Buccaneers – Full participant.
Cade Otton (TE) Tampa Bay Buccaneers – Otton missed the final two regular-season games with a knee injury but has been a limited practice participant all week. That puts him in a position to return to the lineup.
Dallas Goedert (TE) Philadelphia Eagles – Goedert was a full participant and should be good to go.
Quentin Johnston (WR) Los Angeles Chargers – Missed practice Wednesday due to illness.
Justice Hill (RB) Baltimore Ravens – Cleared concussion protocol and practiced in full at Wednesday’s practice.
Josh Palmer (WR) Los Angeles Chargers – Palmer missed LA’s regular-season finale with a heel injury and has yet to practice this week. Therefore, it’s unlikely that Palmer will have much if any, role against the Texans. UPDATE: Palmer is OUT.
Sterling Shepard (WR) Tampa Bay Buccaneers – The veteran is dealing with foot and knee injuries and was limited. However, there is no concern that he will miss Sunday’s tilt.
Malik Willis (QB) Green Bay Packers – Limited in practice with a thumb injury, but Willis should be fine to sit behind Jordan Love in Philadelphia.
