We’ve reached the final Sunday of the regular season, and as with many closing weeks, there are plenty of moving parts in terms of player availability. Certain teams with postseason positioning wrapped up will be resting key stars, while other teams have shut down injured players. To make matters even more interesting, there are still some fantasy leagues holding championships this week, amid plenty of uncertainty. Without further ado, let’s see where things stand as of early Sunday morning:

Week 18 Injuries

Week 18 Preview

Injury Report Update

Kickers

The Titans’ Nick Folk (abdomen) remains out for Sunday’s game against the Texans after sandwiching a pair of absences around a limited Thursday practice this week. Matthew Wright, who made both of his field-goal attempts and his one PAT in Week 17 against the Jaguars, will serve as Tennessee’s placekicker for a second straight week.

The Jets’ Greg Zuerlein (knee) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday, ending his season. Greg Joseph, who was promoted from the practice squad, will serve as New York’s placekicker for Sunday’s regular-season finale against the Dolphins.

The Cardinals’ Matt Prater (knee) is out for Sunday’s game against the 49ers despite practicing in limited fashion all week. Prater’s absence to close out the season means Chad Ryland, who’s gone an impressive 26-for-30 on field-goal attempts for Arizona, will once again serve as the placekicker for the finale versus San Francisco.
