Updates/analysis (most recent first)
A.J. Green (9:10 a.m.): Jay Glazer of FOX Sports reports that Bengals doctors have officially pulled the plug on the possibility of Green playing tonight. Expect him to be on the team's inactive list when it comes out later today and be sure to make other fantasy WR plans.
Jordan Reed (9:05 a.m.): A source tells ESPN's Adam Schefter that Reed will not be active today against the Bears due to his injured shoulder. Official word should come down about 90 minutes before kickoff.
Lamar Miller (7:45 a.m.): If the Titans win Saturday against the Jaguars, then Saturday night's game has no significant playoff implications for the Texans. It would all come down to beating Tennessee in Week 17. With so much on the line next week, it's hard to see Houston pressing Miller into action Saturday night.
Jordan Reed (7:35 a.m.): The tight end did not practice for Washington this week, a fact which seems to point toward inactive status. NFL Network's Ian Rapoport agrees, citing a source who said Reed was facing "too quick a turnaround."
A.J. Green (7:30 a.m.): The Cincinnati receiver is adamant that he will play Saturday. However, the Bengals are not as sure and may decide to keep their star wide receiver inactive for another week. Green needs just 36 yards to top 1,000 for the season, so it's possible that if he does play, he may get pulled as soon as he reaches that milestone.
Official Saturday inactives should begin coming in at approximately 11:30 a.m. ET for the early games, 2:30 p.m. ET for the late games and 7 p.m. ET for the Saturday night game.
