Colts | Riley Leonard uncertain for Week 15 Mon Dec 8, 02:41 PM
Indianapolis Colts QB Riley Leonard (knee) is dealing with a knee injury, and his availability for Week 15 is uncertain at this point, according to head coach Shane Steichen.
| Footballguys view: This news comes on the heels of Steichen confirming that Daniel Jones did suffer a torn Achilles and will be out for the remainder of the season. Steichen said that Leonard is "working through" the injury, and the "hope" is that he will be able to play Sunday against the Seahawks. However, Steichen cannot say that for sure just yet. Anthony Richardson remains on injured reserve, which means the only fully healthy quarterback for the Colts right now is practice squad QB Brett Rypien. He has appeared in 11 games with four starts since entering the NFL in 2019. |
Browns | Stefanski: Shedeur Sanders will remain Cleveland's starting QB Mon Dec 8, 02:35 PM
Rookie Shedeur Sanders will remain the starting quarterback for the Cleveland Browns' final four games of the season, head coach Kevin Stefanski announced Monday.
| Footballguys view: Sanders started the previous three games. He is coming off the best game, accounting for 394 total yards and four touchdowns in the Browns' 31-29 home loss to the Titans. His QB2 finish overall in Week 14 was a pleasant surprise. He has completed 52.4 percent of his passes (54-of-103) for 769 passing yards with five touchdowns and three interceptions. He has also rushed for 50 yards and one touchdown on eight carries. The hope for fantasy managers is that he'll keep the offense on schedule and give the pieces we're invested in a chance to deliver for us. |
Colts | Daniel Jones officially out for season Mon Dec 8, 02:32 PM
Updating previous reports, Indianapolis Colts QB Daniel Jones (Achilles) has been diagnosed with a torn Achilles tendon and will miss the rest of the 2025 season, according to head coach Shane Steichen.
| Footballguys view: Jones was playing through what was reported to be a hairline fracture in his left fibula when he went down in the first quarter on Sunday with an injury to his opposite leg. Although a torn Achilles is easily diagnosed, Jones underwent an MRI on Monday to confirm the injury. Jones is headed to free agency and might not be ready to play in Week 1 next season. The Colts and Vikings were both rumored to be in on signing Jones, but the nine-month recovery adds enough uncertainty to cloud the issue. |

Dolphins | De'Von Achane undergoes MRI Mon Dec 8, 02:24 PM
Miami Dolphins RB De'Von Achane (rib) underwent an MRI on the rib injury he suffered during the Week 14 game, and it did not show any serious issues. He may miss some practice time this week but seems to have a good chance to play in Week 15.
| Footballguys view: As The Sporting News suggests, one of the best dual-threat running backs should be good to go going forward. Achane has 193 carries for 1,126 yards and seven touchdowns on the ground. He's caught 55 of 73 targets for 383 yards and four touchdowns. Still, it's worth noting Jaylen Wright saw the bulk of the touches after Achane's injury, finishing with 107 yards and a touchdown on 24 carries. We'll monitor Achane's status this week, but Wright should be a waiver priority for this week's game at Pittsburgh. |
Buccaneers | Jalen McMillan may return soon Mon Dec 8, 02:18 PM
Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR Jalen McMillan (neck) has a chance to be available for the Week 15 game, according to head coach Todd Bowles.
| Footballguys view: McMillan, who has yet to play this season after injuring his neck this summer, returned to practice last week, but he was not officially activated. He'll have a chance to return on a short week against the Falcons. |

Colts | No timetable for Anthony Richardson's return Mon Dec 8, 12:11 PM
With Colts starting quarterback Daniel Jones out for the season after tearing an Achilles tendon on Sunday, the next question becomes whether Anthony Richardson will be able to step in. Per a source with knowledge of the situation, Richardson -- who suffered an orbital fracture before the Week 6 game against the Cardinals -- has not been cleared to return. Moreover, the Colts don't know when or if he'll be cleared at any point in 2025.
| Footballguys view: That leaves rookie Riley Leonard as the starter. Brett Rypien is on the practice squad. On Sunday, the emergency option was tight end Tyler Warren. The fourth overall pick in 2023, Richardson started four games as a rookie and 11 in 2024. The Colts signed Jones to compete with Richardson, and Jones won the job. Richardson remains under contract through 2026. But it's up in the air, at best, as to whether he'll be able to play in any of the final four regular-season games or any postseason games. |

Cowboys | CeeDee Lamb progressing Mon Dec 8, 09:54 AM
Dallas Cowboys WR CeeDee Lamb (concussion) is progressing nicely through the concussion protocol, according to head coach Brian Schottenheimer.
| Footballguys view: In addition to Schottenheimer's positive comments, Lamb offered a positive update on his status in an Instagram post. "Blessed in an understatement. Love yall," Lamb wrote. That said, Lamb must work his way through the protocol with the Dallas medical staff evaluating the All-Pro receiver over the coming week. The long turnaround from a Thursday kickoff will work in his favor. On the off chance Lamb, who has 57 catches, 895 yards, and three touchdowns this season, isn't ready to play the Vikings this week, George Pickens, Jake Ferguson, Ryan Flournoy, and KaVontae Turpin will be standing by. |

Steelers | DK Metcalf hospitalized Mon Dec 8, 09:50 AM
Pittsburgh Steelers WR DK Metcalf (stomach) was hospitalized after leaving a flight due to stomach pain Sunday, Nov. 7. Out of an abundance of caution, he stayed overnight in a Baltimore hospital and is flying back to Pittsburgh Monday, Dec. 8.
| Footballguys view: Metcalf, who had a season-high 148 yards on seven catches in the win against the Ravens, was sent to a Baltimore-area hospital for evaluation by team medical personnel. We'll continue to monitor this one. The Steelers host the Miami Dolphins on "Monday Night Football" in Week 15, giving Metcalf a longer week before he's scheduled to be back on the field. |

Texans | Brevin Jordan extended Mon Dec 8, 09:45 AM
Houston Texans TE Brevin Jordan agreed to a one-year extension Monday, Dec. 8. Financial terms weren't disclosed.
| Footballguys view: Currently on season-ending IR, Jordan has appeared in 36 games and had 12 starts in his four seasons with Houston. He has 53 catches on 80 targets for 532 yards and five touchdowns. For now, the Texans will continue to roll out the duo of Dalton Schultz and Cade Stover at the position for the final four weeks of the season, and for any playoff run that might ensue. Schultz has emerged as the leader in the tight end room, being their second-leading receiver on the year behind only Nico Collins. |

Chiefs | Tough night for Patrick Mahomes Mon Dec 8, 12:05 AM
Kansas City Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes completed 14 of his 33 passes for 160 yards, no touchdowns, and three interceptions in a Week 14 loss to the Houston Texans. Mahomes ran the ball seven times for a team-high 59 yards as well.
| Footballguys view: Mahomes was QB25 through Sunday night. He's now come up short in four of his last five outings: Mahomes was QB25 against Buffalo in Week 9, scoring just 8.5 points; he was QB15 against Denver in Week 11, with 13.3 points; and QB14 against the Colts in Week 12, with 15.1 points. His QB1, 29.4-point Week 13, reminds us the upside is there, but with injuries along the offensive line and a poor rushing attack, opposing defenses are able to focus on Mahomes and the passing attack. He'll try to turn things around against the Chargers in Week 15. |
