Jordan Howard Still Not Cleared For Contact

Philadelphia Eagles running back Jordan Howard (shoulder) is still not cleared for contact on Friday, making it unlikely that he suits up for Week 13 against the Dolphins.

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan had a rough day on Thanksgiving against the Saints. He threw two interceptions, lost a fumble and was sacked nine times.
