This is it, the last week of the NFL regular season. After a long and arduous season, it’s not uncommon for top players to have to deal with scraps and knicks. The status of some of their biggest stars is still unsure for the Week 18 games. Though each franchise will want to finish their season on a winning note, despite the playoff route, this will be troublesome for these teams.
The injury report is out and several teams will want to have their best on the field. But for the New York Jets, the Buffalo Bills, and the Miami Dolphins, things are not as straightforward. With questionable status on some, others will be missing out due to different reasons altogether.
Aaron Rodgers is on the list once again

Just last week the superstar QB Aaron Rodgers was added back to the Jets’ roster. Removing him from the injured reserved list and hence from this week’s injury report, A-Rod’s name is back. But as expected, the 40-year-old will not be participating in the final game of the season.
On the other hand, however, the listing of the Jets WR Corey Davis is out. The 28-year-old was in the news last year as he announced his retirement. But Davis isn’t out because of an injury.
Davis missed out on the training due to some personal reasons and will not participate in the game against the New England Patriots. However, that is not the case with the superstar QBs of the Bills and the Dolphins. They have been listed as questionable due to their injuries recently, but will they play in the final game of the regular season?
Quarterback problems for the star-studded teams
Tua Tagovailoa did not participate in the practice session due to issues with his right shoulder. HC Mike McDaniel, however, has asserted that the QB will feature against the Bills and that he’s not worried about him. The Dolphins do have the luxury of sitting him out as well since they’re through the playoffs. But the Bills do not have that option.

Josh Allen suffered a stinger in the win against the Patriots and has been listed as questionable. But the Bills desperately need him on the field. A win against the Dolphins is a requirement to get to the playoffs.
