SUMMARY
- Dak Prescott
- Teddy Bridgewater
- James Conner
- Robbie Anderson
Let’s get started.
1. Dak Prescott
Update (Jan. 8): Active
Nobody in Dallas believes Dak Prescott’s knee injury is serious, but it is something to keep an eye on.
It could be enough to keep him out of Week 18, but it’s also something minor, and at the moment, hypertension owner Jerry Jones claims it’s all been overblown.
If this is an issue, we’ll find out on Wednesday when the Cowboys return to practice.
2. Teddy Bridgewater
Update (Jan. 8): Bridgewater (finger/knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game against the Jets by the Dolphins, according to David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel.
Tua Tagovailoa is not on the Dolphins’ Week 18 roster, according to head coach Mike McDaniel, but Bridgewater and Skylar Thompson are.
Does this mean Bridgewater’s finger will be ready for Week 18? According to NFL reporter Ian Rapoport, Bridgewater will undergo imaging on Monday, so the Dolphins must be pleased with what they see.
If Bridgewater is healthy enough to be the team’s starting quarterback, this is a fantastic opportunity for him to lead his team to the playoffs.

3. James Conner
Update (Jan. 8): James Conner (shin/knee) has been ruled out for Sunday’s game against the 49ers.
Everyone is dealing with something heading into Week 18, and James Conner is no exception, as he is dealing with a shin injury.
After having X-rays on his shin, head coach Kliff Kingsbury said he’s day-to-day. His X-rays were negative.
If Conner has any setbacks throughout the week, the Cards have nothing to play for and could be rested.

4. Robbie Anderson
Update (Jan. 8): Robbie Anderson (back) is out for Sunday’s game against the 49ers, according to Tyler Drake of ArizonaSports.com.
Robbie Anderson left the game with a back injury and was unable to return after playing in 23% of the team’s snaps in Week 17.
It’s unclear whether Anderson will be able to play in Week 18, but 2022 has been a particularly forgettable season for him.
