Bears | Johnson: All options on the table for Rome Odunze Mon Dec 15, 04:36 PM
Ben Johnson said "all options are on the table" regarding Rome Odunze's foot injury and whether the team will shut him down for a stretch of time to get him healthy, ready for a potential playoff run. Johnson: "There may be a case that we need to protect him from himself a little bit so he can help us down the road."
| Footballguys view: Odunze did not play in Sunday's game against the New York Giants after aggravating his injury minutes before kickoff. Aggravations are often worse than the initial issue, so we should assume that Odunze won't be available for at least the next two weeks, and he might not be able to return for the playoffs. Luther Burden III is also dealing with an ankle injury, so the Bears target tree is getting narrower, with DJ Moore the top healthy option. |

Commanders | Jayden Daniels to avoid IR Mon Dec 15, 04:15 PM
Updating a previous report, Washington Commanders QB Jayden Daniels (elbow) will miss the rest of the season but will not be placed on the Reserve/Injured list because he wants to continue to practice, according to head coach Dan Quinn.
| Footballguys view: Again, Marcus Mariota is expected to start the last three games for Washington, with Daniels focused on heading into the offseason healthy and ready to work on better outcomes in 2026. |
Bears | Luther Burden day-to-day Mon Dec 15, 04:09 PM
Chicago Bears WR Luther Burden III (ankle) is considered day-to-day because of the ankle injury he suffered during the Week 15 game, according to head coach Ben Johnson.
| Footballguys view: Despite leaving Sunday's game against the Cleveland Browns early, Burden had six receptions for a team-best 84 yards on seven targets before departing. As Footballguys Sigmund Bloom suggested, even if this ankle injury keeps him from mattering in redraft leagues for the next two weeks, Burden's dynasty value is high. We'll continue to watch for more. |

Commanders | Report: Jayden Daniels won't play again this season Mon Dec 15, 03:39 PM
Jayden Daniels' second season is over, with three games remaining on the schedule. The Commanders will shut down the quarterback for the rest of the 2025 season, NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported on Monday. Rapoport added that Daniels was re-evaluated on Monday and is not yet cleared after he aggravated an elbow injury in Week 14.
| Footballguys view: The 2024 Offensive Rookie of the Year suffered through an injury-riddled second season. He completed 60.9 percent of his passes for 1,262 yards with eight touchdowns and three interceptions in seven games. Daniels added 58 rush attempts for 278 yards and two scores. The Commanders went 2-5 in his seven starts. Daniels did not play in Sunday's 29-21 win over the Giants. Marcus Mariota, who started Sunday's game, which broke an eight-game losing skid, will remain the starter. The Commanders end the season with home games against the Eagles and Cowboys, and close the campaign at Philadelphia. |

Jaguars | Bhayshul Tuten to have surgery on fractured finger Mon Dec 15, 03:30 PM
Jaguars rookie RB Bhayshul Tuten will undergo surgery to repair a finger injury suffered in yesterday's win over the Jets, sources tell NFL Network's Mike Garafolo and Ian Rapoport.
| Footballguys view: Per the report, Tuten will miss a few weeks but should be back for the playoffs. Pro Football Focus' Nathan Jahnke suggested on Sunday that we can expect Travis Etienne Jr. to play more going forward, including a few more touches per game, with Tuten missing time. The Jaguars have rough matchups against the Denver Broncos and Indianapolis Colts in Weeks 16 and 17, so a few more touches would help Etienne's fantasy value in those games. |
Vikings | Jonathan Greenard to have surgery Mon Dec 15, 03:22 PM

Bengals | Joe Burrow won't be shut down; QB will start final three games Mon Dec 15, 03:15 PM
The Bengals have no path to the playoffs, but that isn't changing their plan at the quarterback position. Head coach Zac Taylor said at a Monday press conference that he expects Joe Burrow to remain the team's starter for the final three games on their schedule. Taylor explained why there has not been any consideration of sitting him down at this point. "Because we want to win," Taylor said.
| Footballguys view: Burrow missed nine games this season with a toe injury and returned to lead the team to a win over the Ravens on Thanksgiving. He threw four touchdowns in Buffalo in Week 14, but two fourth-quarter interceptions helped the Bills pick up a comeback win, and Burrow had a rough go of it in Sunday's 24-0 loss to Baltimore. The Bengals will be hoping to see better performances and no more injuries for Burrow down the stretch. Cincinnati takes on the Dolphins in Week 16. |

Colts | Anthony Richardson cleared to resume football activities Mon Dec 15, 03:09 PM
According to multiple reports, Anthony Richardson has been cleared to resume football activities. Richardson has been out since fracturing an orbital bone while working out ahead of Indianapolis' Week 6 game against the Cardinals.
| Footballguys view: The Colts have not formally designated Richardson for return from injured reserve at this point, and they haven't announced if they plan to do so this week, but that would be a necessary step to get him back into practice. The move would create a 21-day window for Richardson to work out with the team, and that would run through the end of the regular season. Meanwhile, the Colts coaxed Philip Rivers out of retirement last week, and head coach Shane Steichen has already announced that Rivers will start against the 49ers on Monday Night Football in Week 16. |

Falcons | Drake London an option for Week 16? Mon Dec 15, 02:56 PM
Atlanta Falcons WR Drake London (knee) is still considered day-to-day because of his knee injury, but head coach Raheem Morris said the team is more hopeful about his availability for Week 16.
| Footballguys view: According to Morris, his top wideout is still day-to-day, but the increased optimism is worth noting. London has 60 receptions for 810 receiving yards and six touchdowns this season. During his four-week absence, TE Kyle Pitts has played some of the best football of his NFL career. Pitts has recorded 73 catches for 797 receiving yards and four touchdowns. "He was there as the No. 1 wideout, so to speak," said Morris of Pitts. "He got the targets Drake would normally get." So, London's return could have an impact beyond his own investors. We'll be watching for more. |
Buccaneers | Zyon McCollum placed on IR Mon Dec 15, 02:33 PM
Tampa Bay Buccaneers CB Zyon McCollum (hip) was placed on the Reserve/Injured list Monday, Dec. 15.
| Footballguys view: McCollum will be sidelined for at least the Buccaneers' final three regular-season games and their first playoff game, if they qualify for the postseason. The Buccaneers (7-7) are tied with the Carolina Panthers (7-7) for first place in the NFC South standings. The Buccaneers, who have lost five of their past six games, signed veteran linebacker Anthony Walker Jr. off the Indianapolis Colts' practice squad in a corresponding move Monday. McCollum, in his fourth NFL season, has 65 tackles, an interception, and six passes defended in 13 games this season. |
