Trent Williams Questionable To Return In Week 16

San Francisco 49ers left tackle Trent Williams (groin) is questionable to return against the Baltimore Ravens on Monday night. He departed during the third quarter and was seen testing his injury on the sideline. Williams did put his helmet on and went to sit with the offense, so it appears that he could return if […]

Dustin Hopkins Estimated As Non-Participant Monday

Cleveland Browns kicker Dustin Hopkins (left hamstring) was estimated as a non-participant on Monday. While they didn't hold an official practice, the Browns evidently have some level of concern regarding the veteran kicker's status leading up to Thursday Night Football against the New York Jets. Hopkins initially suffered his injury while trying to make a […]

Kareem Hunt Estimated As Non-Participant Monday

Cleveland Browns running back Kareem Hunt (groin) was estimated as a non-participant on Monday.

The 28-year-old played 38 percent of offensive snaps behind Jerome Ford […]

Greg Zuerlein Estimated As Limited Participant Monday

New York Jets kicker Greg Zuerlein (right quad) was estimated as a limited participant on Monday. With the Jets in the midst of a short week, any sort of injury is worth monitoring. However, the fact that the Jets marked him as limited rather than a non-participant suggests he has a good chance to play […]

Israel Abanikanda Estimated As Limited Participant Monday

New York Jets running back Israel Abanikanda (ankle) was estimated as a limited participant on Monday. The rookie also appeared on the injury report in preparation for Week 16 but was able to play, which is a solid indicator that he'll suit up against the Cleveland Browns on Thursday night. With the Jets out of […]

Zach Wilson Estimated As Non-Participant Monday

New York Jets quarterback Zach Wilson (concussion) was estimated as a non-participant on Monday. He initially suffered the injury back in Week 15 and missed the Jets' game this past Sunday. With New York in the midst of a short week, Wilson would need to clear concussion protocol rather quickly in order to play on […]

Aaron Rodgers Estimated As Non-Participant Monday

New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers (Achilles) was estimated as a non-participant for Monday's practice. The 40-year-old isn't expected to play again this season after tearing his Achilles back in Week 1, though it's at least worth noting that he did log a limited practice last Friday. With the Jets out of playoff contention and […]

Jeremy Ruckert Won't Play In Week 17

New York Jets tight end Jeremy Ruckert (concussion) missed practice on Monday and will not play against the Cleveland Browns in Week 17, head coach Robert Saleh told the media. With the Jets heading into a short week, it simply would not be feasible to expect Ruckert to clear concussion protocol in time for kickoff. […]

Browns Sign Riley Patterson To Practice Squad

The Cleveland Browns signed free agent kicker Riley Patterson to their practice squad on Monday. The addition provides depth for the team after Dustin Hopkins (left hamstring) left Sunday's game and did not return.

Kareem Jackson Waived By Broncos, Could Sign To Practice Squad

Denver Broncos safety Kareem Jackson was waived on Monday, but the team hopes to bring him back onto their practice squad if he clears waivers, according to Troy Renck of Denver7.

Elijah Mitchell Won't Suit Up Versus Ravens

San Francisco 49ers running back Elijah Mitchell (knee) is inactive for Week 16 versus the Baltimore Ravens. He had been listed as questionable after logging a pair of limited practices.

Mike Gesicki Catches Touchdown Pass Versus Broncos

New England Patriots tight end Mike Gesicki caught two passes for 15 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's win over the Denver Broncos.

Henry had three touchdowns […]

Demario Douglas Leads Patriots In Receiving Yards Sunday

New England Patriots wide receiver Demario Douglas turned eight targets into five catches for 74 yards against the Denver Broncos on Sunday.

DeVante Parker Productive In Week 16 Win

New England Patriots wide receiver DeVante Parker caught four of five targets for 65 yards during Sunday's win over the Denver Broncos.

Ezekiel Elliott Catches Nine Passes Versus Denver

New England Patriots running back Ezekiel Elliott rushed 12 times for just 27 yards during Sunday's win over the Denver Broncos.

New England Patriots quarterback Bailey Zappe completed 25 of 33 passes for 256 yards, two touchdowns, and zero interceptions during Sunday's victory over the Denver Broncos.

Devon Witherspoon Inactive Versus Titans

Seattle Seahawks cornerback Devon Witherspoon (hip) is officially inactive for Sunday's game against the Tennessee Titans.

Ian Thomas Suiting Up For Week 16

Carolina Panthers tight end Ian Thomas (ankle) is officially active for Week 16 against the Green Bay Packers.

Alexander Mattison Officially Active For Week 16

Minnesota Vikings running back Alexander Mattison (ankle) is officially active for Week 16 versus the Detroit Lions. However, as NFL Network's Tom Pelissero noted on Sunday morning, the 25-year-old is less than 100 percent and could have some limitations while operating behind Ty Chandler, who dominated with 157 total yards and one touchdown last weekend. […]

Christian Watson, Jayden Reed Officially Inactive Sunday

Green Bay Packers wide receivers Christian Watson (hamstring) and Jayden Reed (toe, chest) are officially inactive for Week 16 versus the Carolina Panthers.

Kenny Pickett Should Be Medically Cleared For Week 17

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Kenny Pickett (ankle) should be medically cleared for next week's game against the Seattle Seahawks, according to Mike Garafolo of NFL Network.
