Cleveland Browns tight end David Njoku (knee) was added to the Week 16 injury report on Wednesday. The Browns didn't practice on Wednesday, but Njoku was estimated as a limited participant.

Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon (ankle) will practice on Wednesday, and head coach Zac Taylor said he thinks Mixon is "feeling pretty good."

Aaron Rodgers Listed As A DNP Tuesday

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers (toe) was listed as a DNP at Tuesday's practice.
