The two-game suspension for Steelers WR DK Metcalf has been upheld by an appeals officer jointly appointed by the NFL and NFLPA.
| Footballguys view: Not much change here for fantasy investors. Metcalf is out for the rest of the regular season -- as expected. The wideout also loses $555,556 in salary and sees $45 million in future guarantees voided, including $25 million that was fully guaranteed for 2026. Beyond that, the fantasy impact is relatively low. Adam Thielen, Roman Wilson, and Marquez Valdes-Scantling could gain opportunities -- as would Calvin Austin III, if he's healthy enough to play. As for Aaron Rodgers? He remains a low-end QB2. But playmakers like Kenneth Gainwell and Jalen Warren could be asked to do more. |

The 49ers have gotten some positive news on tight end George Kittle. Per Jeremy Fowler of ESPN, Kittle suffered a mid-to-low ankle sprain during Monday night's victory over the Colts.
| Footballguys view: That means he should not be out long-term with the injury if he misses any time at all. Kittle told reporters postgame that he didn't believe he had suffered a high-ankle sprain in the second quarter. Kittle also felt like the play was a hip-drop tackle. Kittle finished the Week 16 win with seven catches for 115 yards with a touchdown. In 10 games this season, Kittle has caught 52 passes for 599 yards with seven TDs. We'll be watching for more in advance of Sunday night's game against the Bears. |

New York Jets QB Justin Fields (knee) was placed on season-ending injured reserve on Dec. 23.
| Footballguys view: Brady Cook will get another start this week. Meanwhile, as Profootballtalk.com suggests, the decision to give Fields a two-year, $40 million contract in March is looking like a costly mistake. It's unclear at this point whether Fields will be back next year, but the Jets are on the hook for at least that $10 million either way. The Jets will certainly also be looking, in the draft or free agency, for that elusive franchise quarterback. They thought they had a franchise quarterback when they signed Fields, but this season has proven them wrong. |

Washington Commanders WR Jamal Agnew was waived on Tuesday, Dec. 23, after failing his physical with the team. He was claimed off waivers on Monday, Dec. 22.
Link to storyBuffalo Bills QB Josh Allen (foot) will not practice on Tuesday, Dec. 23, according to head coach Sean McDermott.
| Footballguys view: The Bills were already scheduled to hold a walk-through session on Tuesday. The walk-through was scheduled before Buffalo clinched its seventh straight playoff berth with the Colts' loss on Monday night. McDermott said it was too early to determine whether Allen would practice on Wednesday. McDermott said Allen, who hurt his foot late in the first half Sunday but returned to play the second half, experienced no setbacks. The coach said he anticipates the quarterback playing on Sunday, when the Bills host the Eagles. Allen has not missed a start since his rookie season in 2018. Stay tuned. |

Minnesota Vikings RB Ty Chandler (knee) was activated from injured reserve on Tuesday, Dec. 23.
| Footballguys view: Chandler was designated to return on December 3, so Tuesday was the final day that he could return to action during the 2026 season. Chandler was placed on injured reserve after he suffered a knee injury in Week 1. Chandler did not have any touches in that game, but had 164 carries for 663 yards and three touchdowns in his first three seasons with Minnesota. He also had 27 catches for 201 yards. The Vikings saw Jordan Mason go down with an ankle injury in Week 16 and he was listed as out of practice on Monday, so Chandler could be in line for work against the Lions on Christmas. |
