Chiefs | Andy Reid plans to continue as KC's head coach Mon Dec 29, 01:37 PM

Andy Reid isn't planning on riding off into the sunset after Week 18. Reid is wrapping up his 13th season as the head coach of the Chiefs, and he said on Monday that he's looking forward to No. 14. "I think I'm coming back, right?" Reid said, via Matt Derrick of ChiefsDigest.com. "If they'll have me back, I'll come back. You never know in this business; that's a tough one. But I plan on it, yeah."

Footballguys view: The Chiefs made the playoffs for 10 straight seasons before falling short of the postseason this year. That run included five trips to the Super Bowl in the last six years, so it's hard to imagine the Chiefs are going to be clamoring to push Reid out the door because of one unsuccessful season. As PFT's Josh Alper noted, the team may be saying farewell to tight end Travis Kelce and other players who had a hand in that long run of success. Still, the return of Reid to the sidelines and a return to health for quarterback Patrick Mahomes provide reason to think that the team can find its way back to the postseason.

Patriots | Will Campbell may return soon Mon Dec 29, 01:11 PM

New England Patriots OT Will Campbell (knee) may have his 21-day practice window opened this week, according to head coach Mike Vrabel.

Footballguys view: Campbell has been sidelined by a knee injury. A return to practice will open a 21-day window to activate Campbell, so he would be able to return for the playoffs even if the Patriots don't take him off of injured reserve ahead of their Week 18 game against the Dolphins.

Colts | Seth Henigan joins practice squad Mon Dec 29, 01:10 PM

Free-agent QB Seth Henigan (Jaguars) was signed to the Indianapolis Colts practice squad Monday, Dec. 29.

Packers | Surgery for Micah Parsons Mon Dec 29, 01:05 PM

Green Bay Packers DE Micah Parsons (knee) is scheduled to undergo surgery Monday, Dec. 29, to repair his torn anterior cruciate ligament.

Footballguys view: Parsons posted a snapshot of himself in a hospital gown to his Instagram story on Monday morning with the caption "see y'all soon, love y'all." He tore his ACL in the team's Week 15 loss to the Broncos. As Profootballtalk.com noted, surgery is a significant first step, but that rehab process is expected to run into the summer, and it will be some time before there's a concrete timeline for Parsons' return to full football activities.

Bengals | Joe Burrow will play in finale Mon Dec 29, 11:29 AM

Cincinnati Bengals QB Joe Burrow will start in the Week 18 season finale against the Cleveland Browns.

Footballguys view: Bengals head coach Zac Taylor confirmed the news, telling reporters that Burrow gives the team the best chance to win. Burrow missed most of this season with a toe injury before returning to lead the team to a win on Thanksgiving. He played one of the worst games of his career two weeks later, but has rebounded with 614 yards and six touchdowns in back-to-back wins in the last two games to give the Bengals a chance to finish the season with a three-game win streak. It's not much, but it's a positive note to build on.

Giants | Jaxson Dart a franchise QB in team's eyes Mon Dec 29, 10:07 AM

New York Giants QB Jaxson Dart is no doubt a franchise quarterback, according to interim head coach Mike Kafka.

Footballguys view: After the Giants defeated the Raiders 34-10 on Sunday, Dart was asked about a report from NFL Network's Ian Rapoport that said the Giants would have been open to selecting a quarterback, most likely Indiana's Fernando Mendoza, if they lost to the Raiders and secured the first pick in the draft. Dart, who has completed 194 of 307 passes (63.2%) for 2,042 yards with 13 touchdowns and five interceptions (he's also run for nine touchdowns), exceeded expectations. But it remains to be seen who'll be running the Giants in 2026 -- and how they view Dart.

Bears | Luther Burden III injury not serious Mon Dec 29, 10:01 AM

Chicago Bears WR Luther Burden III (quadriceps) will undergo testing Monday, Dec. 29, but his quadriceps injury is not believed to be serious.

Footballguys view: Burden will undergo additional testing today. But even assuming he has avoided a serious injury, the expectation is that the Bears will rest the rookie for their regular-season finale against the Lions, with the hopes of him returning in the wild-card round of the playoffs. The belief is that top wideout Rome Odunze, who's missed the last few games due to a foot injury, will also be ready in time for the postseason.

Bears | Tremaine Edmunds in on nine stops Mon Dec 29, 02:43 AM

Chicago Bears LB Tremaine Edmunds had nine tackles, including a team-high seven solo, in a Week 17 loss to the San Francisco 49ers.

Bears | Caleb Williams tops 300 yards in loss Mon Dec 29, 01:19 AM

Chicago Bears QB Caleb Williams completed 25 of his 42 passes for 330 yards and two touchdowns and rushed for 18 yards on five carries in a 42-38 loss to the San Francisco 49ers in Week 17.

Footballguys view: As NFL.com suggested, the Bears were able to compete in a shootout because Williams delivered repeated big plays. He connected on massive throws from the pocket (Luther Burden III's 35-yard first-quarter TD), waited patiently to strike a deep-ball touchdown to Colston Loveland on a free play, and had the Bears in position to pull off another late-game comeback before his final pass fell short. Williams delivered a career high with four completions on passes thrown 20 or more yards downfield. His 23 fantasy points in this made him QB7 through Sunday's games.

Bears | Two TDs for D'Andre Swift Mon Dec 29, 01:13 AM

Chicago Bears RB D'Andre Swift rushed nine times for 54 yards and two touchdowns and caught two passes for 24 yards in a 42-38 loss to the San Francisco 49ers in Week 17.

Footballguys view: As CBSSports.com notes, Swift made the most of his opportunities against the 49ers on Sunday Night Football. He averaged 6.0 yards per carry while scoring multiple rushing touchdowns for the second time over his last three starts. Swift became the first Bear with 1,000 rushing yards in a season since David Montgomery in 2020 -- Swift's rookie season with Detroit, where Montgomery now plays. For the record, Swift continued to share backfield duties with Kyle Monangai (11 touches for 47 yards). Both are viable fantasy options against the Lions in Week 18.

49ers | Christian McCaffrey totals 181 yards, TD Mon Dec 29, 01:06 AM

San Francisco 49ers RB Christian McCaffrey rushed 23 times for 140 yards and a touchdown in Week 17 against the Chicago Bears, while adding four receptions for 41 yards on six targets.

Footballguys view: McCaffrey continues to put together a season to remember as his 181 scrimmage yards and one TD Sunday pushed him into elite company. McCaffrey joined Hall of Famer LaDainian Tomlinson as the only players in NFL history to have three seasons with at least 2,000 scrimmage yards and 15 touchdowns. McCaffrey's 28.1 fantasy points made him RB3 through the Sunday night game.

49ers | Brock Purdy goes bonkers on Sunday night Mon Dec 29, 01:04 AM

San Francisco 49ers QB Brock Purdy completed 24-of-33 passes for 303 yards, three touchdowns and one interception in Week 17 against the Chicago Bears, while running six times for 28 yards and a pair of scores.

Footballguys view: Purdy followed his career-high five TD-pass performance last week against Indianapolis by throwing for three scores and running for two to become the sixth player since the AFL-NFL merger with back-to-back games with at least five touchdowns. His 36.9 fantasy points made him QB1 on the week through Sunday. Purdy has averaged 33.9 points per game over the last two outings.

Bears | Luther Burden III carted off Mon Dec 29, 12:58 AM

Chicago Bears WR Luther Burden III (hamstring) was carted off after suffering a left hamstring injury on the final play against the San Francisco 49ers in Week 17. Burden had eight catches for 138 yards and a touchdown in the 42-38 loss.

Footballguys view: Burden tried to walk off the field but fell to the ground. After attempting to walk off the field with trainers, Burden was carted to the locker room. According to ESPN's Courtney Cronin, Burden was seen grabbing his left hamstring, making his way in for an X-ray after the game at Levi's Stadium. We'll be watching for more.
