Updating a previous report, Green Bay Packers LB Micah Parsons (knee) is believed to have torn his anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee during the Week 15 game against the Denver Broncos, according to a source.
| Footballguys view: Parsons sustained a noncontact injury to his left knee in the third quarter. "It didn't look good. I'll leave it at that," coach Matt LaFleur said. We'll follow up as needed. |

Link to storyAccording to CBS sideline reporter Tracy Wolfson, RJ Harvey left Sunday's win over the Packers with a rib injury. He did not return.
| Footballguys view: According to Pro Football Focus, Harvey's last offensive play was at 6:31 in the fourth quarter on a three-yard run. Denver had two more plays on that drive, a four-and-out and two kneel-downs to close out the game. Jaleel McLaughlin took over as the early down back during that time. Harvey finished the day with 19 carries for 65 yards and a touchdown. He missed his lone target. We'll watch for updates on his status for the Broncos in Week 16. McLaughlin and Tyler Badie are next men up if Harvey misses time. |

While the Packers have likely lost edge rusher Micah Parsons for the rest of the season, they at least got some positive news for their flight home from Denver. Via multiple reporters, Green Bay noted that receiver Christian Watson will travel back to Green Bay with the team after he was taken to a local hospital for evaluation after suffering a chest injury during the loss to the Broncos.
| Footballguys view: Watson exited the game in the third quarter after a Jordan Love deep pass intended for him was intercepted by Pat Surtain II. Watson has played seven games this season after returning from a torn ACL suffered late in 2024. He entered Week 15 with 25 receptions for 452 yards with five touchdowns, adding three catches for 29 yards on Sunday. We'll follow up as needed. |

Dallas Cowboys RB Javonte Williams (shoulder) left the Week 15 game against the Minnesota Vikings in the first quarter due to a left shoulder injury, and he is considered questionable to return. He rushed six times for 13 yards and a touchdown before suffering the injury.
| Footballguys view: Backup tailback Malik Davis and fullback Hunter Luepke are carrying the load with Williams sidelined, with Davis scoring a 1-yard touchdown run that put the Cowboys back in front 14-7 only eight seconds into the second quarter. |

New York Giants WR Tyrone Tracy Jr. rushed 15 times for 70 yards and a touchdown and caught three passes for 27 yards and a score in a 29-21 loss to the Washington Commanders in Week 15.
| Footballguys view: According to Pro Football Focus, Tracy played a season-high 80.5% of the early-down snaps and 75% of the third-down snaps, which was his third-best rate of the season. Tracy also handled 75% of the running back carries. PFF's Nathan Jahnke contends this performance will make Tracy easier to trust going forward and harder to trust Devin Singletary, who remains the running back most likely to score for New York. Still, the gap in touches makes Tracy the better back to consider for New York going forward. New York plays the Vikings in Week 16. |
Playing on Thursday night in Week 16, the Rams don't seem likely to have Davante Adams for a big matchup against Seattle. But, head coach Sean McVay did not rule Adams out on Sunday after Los Angeles' victory over Detroit.
| Footballguys view: McVay told reporters after Sunday's win that Adams had aggravated the injury to the same hamstring that kept him out of practice for two days this week. "He was optimistic talking to him. He knows his body really well," McVay said in his press conference. "I can't imagine that's good for Thursday, with just the short amount of time. I certainly wouldn't rule him out quite yet. But, it didn't look good." Adams finished Sunday's game with four receptions for 71 yards. He entered the weekend with a league-high 14 touchdowns. Stay tuned. |

Houston Texans RB Jawhar Jordan posted 15 carries for 101 yards in Week 15 against the Arizona Cardinals, and he had two receptions for 17 yards on two targets.
| Footballguys view: Woody Marks left Sunday's game in the second quarter due to an ankle injury. Nick Chubb was inactive with a rib injury. The Texans elevated Jordan from the practice squad to take Chubb's place, and he became the primary early-down back for the rest of the game, while Dare Ogunbowale was the receiving back. We'll be watching for more on Marks and Chubb in advance of their Week 16 meeting with the Raiders. Jordan could be a desperation replacement if neither teammate is ready to play. |
New York Giants QB Jaxson Dart completed 20 of his 36 passes for 246 yards, two touchdowns and an interception, and he gained 63 rushing yards on nine carries in a 29-21 loss to the Washington Commanders in Week 15. He also briefly left to be evaluated following a hard hit but missed just two plays.

Arizona Cardinals TE Trey McBride posted 12 receptions for 134 yards and two touchdowns on 13 targets in Week 15 against the Houston Texans.
| Footballguys view: McBride reached the 100-catch mark and 1,000 yards for back-to-back seasons, something not even Travis Kelce has done. In addition to catching Arizona's first two TD passes of the game, 97 of McBride's 134 yards came after the catch, and he now has the longest streak of games with five or more receptions by a tight end in NFL history with 16, passing Kelce (15) on the all-time list. As NFL.com suggested, Arizona's offense figures to look different in multiple respects next season, but the one thing you can absolutely count on is McBride being a centerpiece. |

Washington Commanders RB Jacory Croskey-Merritt rushed 18 times for 96 yards and a touchdown in a 29-21 win over the New York Giants in Week 15.
| Footballguys view: Croskey-Merritt fell behind Chris Rodriguez Jr. in the backfield pecking order as time has gone on. He hadn't eclipsed 40 rushing yards since Week 6 and hadn't found the end zone since Week 5, but with Rodriguez out due to an ailing groin, Croskey-Merritt made the most of his opportunity. He ran hard and effectively throughout, consistently keeping the Commanders ahead of the chains, and it'll be interesting to see if he's earned back a larger portion of the rotation in the team's remaining games. |
Arizona Cardinals QB Jacoby Brissett completed 27-of-40 passes for 249 yards, three touchdowns and one interception in Week 15 against the Houston Texans.
| Footballguys view: As CBSSports.com notes, the three TDs -- two to Trey McBride and one to Michael Wilson -- were a season high for the veteran QB, but the success is only surprising because it came against a tough Houston defense. Brissett has tossed multiple scores in eight of the last nine games, posting an impressive 18:6 TD to INT ratio since taking over for Kyler Murray (foot) in Week 6. Brissett will look to establish a new career high in passing TDs on a season in Week 16 against the Falcons. |

Washington Commanders QB Marcus Mariota completed 10 of his 19 passes for 211 yards and a touchdown and rushed 10 times for 43 yards and lost a fumble in a 29-21 win over the New York Giants in Week 15.

Updating a previous report, Washington Commanders WR Noah Brown (ribs) did not return to the Week 15 game against the New York Giants after suffering an injury to his ribs. The injury was initially reported as a back issue.
| Footballguys view: Brown played his second game back after missing 10 consecutive games due to a groin injury, and hauled in the Commanders' longest catch of the day -- a 28-yard grab. Entering Week 15, Brown has caught four passes for 55 yards, averaging 13.8 yards per reception. However, he has played in just four games this season: Weeks 1, 2, 14, and 15. He was unable to finish Washington's Week 2 loss to the Green Bay Packers and was ruled out during halftime against the Giants. Brown will be a free agent in 2026. |

Cleveland Browns TE Harold Fannin Jr. racked up seven receptions for 48 yards on a game-high 14 targets in Week 15 against the Chicago Bears.
Link to storyCleveland Browns WR Isaiah Bond posted two receptions for a game-high 89 yards in Week 15 against the Chicago Bears. His catches went for a game-long 47 yards, and the second-longest play of the game at 42 yards.
| Footballguys view: As Pro Football Focus' Nathan Jahnke suggests, the Browns have a favorable matchup in Week 17 against the Pittsburgh Steelers, so it's possible someone like Bond could be fantasy-relevant for that game. However, it will be good to see his playing time next week if Cedric Tillman and Malachi Corley, who both played through questionable designations Sunday, can practice fully for a whole week. This game was a good sign of Bond's chances to become a part of the Browns' wide receiver rotation next season. |
