Bengals | NFL suspends Ja'Marr Chase for Week 12 after spitting incident Mon Nov 17, 04:45 PM
The NFL has suspended Bengals WR Ja'Marr Chase one game for spitting at Steelers DB Jalen Ramsey. Chase denied spitting at Ramsey, but the league determined the video evidence was sufficient to warrant a suspension.
| Footballguys view: While he can -- and likely will -- appeal, fantasy investors should plan on him missing Cincinnati's Week 12 game against the Patriots. The one-game suspension will cost Chase his weekly paycheck of $448,333, along with a $58,823 per-game active bonus he will now forfeit. The Bengals, meanwhile, will have to lean more heavily on Tee Higgins, but Andrei Iosivas, tight end Noah Fant, and running back Chase Brown also stand to get more work with Chase out. |

Green Bay Packers RB Josh Jacobs (knee) has a chance to be available for Week 12, but it will depend on the swelling in his knee, according to head coach Matt LaFleur.
| Footballguys view: This adds to reporting earlier today, suggesting he was still in play for this week's game against the Vikings. He'll be re-evaluated at the end of the week. We'll be following up throughout the week. Proactive Jacobs' investors should be trying to secure Emanual Wilson as a fallback. |

Falcons | Drake London officially week-to-week Mon Nov 17, 04:25 PM
Atlanta Falcons WR Drake London (knee) is considered week-to-week because of his knee injury, according to head coach Raheem Morris.
| Footballguys view: Previous reporting indicated that further testing on London's knee revealed a PCL sprain that will keep him out at least one week, "and potentially more." Morris' comments confirm that. The Falcons will also be without their quarterback for at least four more weeks after they placed Michael Penix Jr. on injured reserve with a knee injury of his own. KhaDarel Hodge has been London's primary backup in recent weeks when London has missed time. Expect Hodge to move into the lineup opposite Darnell Mooney while London is out. |

The 49ers are going to need to bring in a new kicker for their Week 12 Monday night game against the Panthers. Eddy Pineiro suffered a hamstring injury in Sunday's game, and head coach Kyle Shanahan said on Monday that he is considered week-to-week at this point.
| Footballguys view: Pineiro joined the 49ers heading into Week 2 after they released Jake Moody. He is 22-of-22 on field goals and 18-of-22 on extra points in 10 appearances this season. The 49ers do not have a kicker on their practice squad, and Shanahan said that the team will work out kickers this week. |

Commanders | Washington releases PK Matt Gay Mon Nov 17, 03:47 PM
Matt Gay is done kicking for the Commanders. Washington announced today that Gay has been released.
| Footballguys view: Gay has not played well this season, making just 13 of 19 field goals, and he missed two field goals in Sunday's overtime loss to the Dolphins. His 68.4 percent success rate ranks 32nd of the 34 kickers who have enough attempts to qualify this season. A 2019 fifth-round pick of the Buccaneers, Gay has also played for the Colts and Rams. |

Bills | Dalton Kincaid to sit out Monday Mon Nov 17, 03:40 PM
Buffalo Bills TE Dalton Kincaid (hamstring) will not participate in the team's walkthrough Monday, Nov. 17, according to head coach Sean McDermott.
| Footballguys view: Kincaid still has two more days to return to practice, but with the Bills on a short week, it's increasingly unlikely he plays against the Houston Texans. Kincaid was initially labeled as week-to-week by McDermott, so it won't be surprising at all if he misses another game. We'll be following up through resolution. |

49ers | Jacob Cowing may return after bye Mon Nov 17, 03:39 PM
San Francisco 49ers WR Jacob Cowing (hamstring) is expected to have his 21-day practice window opened after the Week 14 bye, according to head coach Kyle Shanahan.
| Footballguys view: Cowing sustained two hamstring injuries during training camp, the second of which landed him on injured reserve. It is unclear where Cowing would fit into the 49ers' current receiver situation, and veteran Skyy Moore has taken over as the team's top return man. We'll keep an eye on Cowing as Week 14 draws nearer. |
49ers | Brandon Aiyuk's practice window won't open this week Mon Nov 17, 03:38 PM
The wait for Brandon Aiyuk's return continues. The 49ers won't open the receiver's practice window this week. Aiyuk continues to work his way back from the ACL and MCL injuries he sustained last season and remains week-to-week. Another wideout, Jacob Cowing (hamstring), may be nearing a return. Coach Kyle Shanahan noted that the 49ers could open his practice window after the bye week.
| Footballguys view: Aiyuk will not play in next Monday night's Week 12 game against the Panthers, and, as CBSSports.com suggests, he doesn't appear to be particularly close to a return to game action. The 49ers have a Week 14 bye, so perhaps Aiyuk will practice at some point before that and potentially play prior to the end of the regular season. For now, the Niners will continue to roll with Ricky Pearsall, Jauan Jennings, and Kendrick Bourne as their three main wideouts. |

Bengals | Taylor waiting to learn if Ja'Marr Chase will be suspended Mon Nov 17, 03:36 PM
Bengals head coach Zac Taylor is waiting to learn if wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase will be suspended for spitting on Steelers safety Jalen Ramsey on Sunday. Still, he made it clear on Monday that the incident does not change his overall opinion of the wideout. Taylor said that "one mistake doesn't disregard" everything that Chase has done before, even if Sunday's actions went further than they should have.
| Footballguys view: "I've always thought it was unbelievable how he's handled himself in some really high-pressure, emotional decisions," Taylor said in a press conference. "Obviously, what happened is crossing the line. We can't have that. And I know he'll own up to that." Taylor said that he will keep his conversations with Chase and others in the organization private while stressing that "people are allowed to make a mistake" without it overshadowing everything else that's gone on during their careers. Meanwhile, we'll continue to watch for a potential suspension. |

Bengals | Joe Burrow will continue ramping up his work this week Mon Nov 17, 03:12 PM
Bengals QB Joe Burrow did 7-on-7 in practice last week, felt good, and could reintegrate into some 11-on-11 work this week, coach Zac Taylor said on Monday. Will the Bengals' record impact Burrow's approach to returning? "He's of the mindset that he wants to play football for us."
| Footballguys view: Burrow has told people he's targeting the team's Thanksgiving Day Week 13 game against the Ravens for his return. Multiple reports have suggested a Week 14 return is more realistic. Joe Flacco will continue as the starter until Burrow returns. We'll continue to watch for more. |

Giants | Jaxson Dart still dealing with concussion Mon Nov 17, 02:37 PM
New York Giants QB Jaxson Dart (concussion) is still going through the concussion protocol, according to interim head coach Mike Kafka.
| Footballguys view: Kafka was asked whether Dart would be available to start practicing with the Giants on Wednesday. "Jaxson's still in the protocol, so I'm just going to see that through, talk with the medical (staff), and when they give us the thumbs up, then we'll take the next action," Kafka said. Jameis Winston started in Dart's absence Sunday, passing for 201 yards with an interception as well as a lost fumble on the final play of a 27-20 home loss to the Packers. We'll be following Dart's progress closely in coming days. The Giants play in Detroit in Week 12. |
Patriots | Kayshon Boutte set to practice Mon Nov 17, 02:35 PM
New England Patriots WR Kayshon Boutte (hamstring) will participate in practice Wednesday, Nov. 17, according to head coach Mike Vrabel.
| Footballguys view: As CBSSports.com noted, Boutte practiced in a limited capacity before being ruled out against the Jets in Week 11. He previously sat out Week 10 against Tampa Bay. In three appearances before he was hurt, Boutte had an outstanding 10-223-4 receiving line on 12 targets. If he returns, Boutte (along with his teammates) gets a favorable matchup against the Bengals in Week 12. |

Patriots | Rhamondre Stevenson on track to return Mon Nov 17, 02:22 PM
New England Patriots RB Rhamondre Stevenson (toe) will participate in practice Wednesday, Nov. 17, according to head coach Mike Vrabel.
| Footballguys view: It's fair to wonder what kind of role the veteran will play upon return. Stevenson's absence has opened the door for rookie TreVeyon Henderson in the backfield, and the second-round pick has responded big time. Henderson has carried the load over the last three games, recording 264 rushing yards and four touchdowns during the stretch. He had a historic Week 11 effort vs. the Jets, scoring all three of the team's touchdowns. We'll be watching Stevenson's progress in coming days -- and we'll be looking for more on potential workloads as well. The Patriots play the Bengals in Week 12. |

Rams | Xavier Smith dealing with concussion Mon Nov 17, 02:17 PM
Los Angeles Rams WR Xavier Smith (concussion) is going through the concussion protocol after suffering a concussion during the Week 11 game, according to head coach Sean McVay.
| Footballguys view: McVay confirms what we already knew. Smith suffered the concussion in the first half of Sunday's contest. Smith must pass through the five steps required to be cleared to play in Week 12. If he misses time, Konata Mumpfield could see an increase in workload on offense and on special teams. |
Browns | Dillon Gabriel in protocol Mon Nov 17, 02:08 PM
Cleveland Browns QB Dillon Gabriel (concussion) is going through the concussion protocol, according to head coach Kevin Stefanski.
| Footballguys view: Stefanski told reporters on Sunday that Gabriel will start if he can clear the protocol before this week's game against the Raiders. Quarterbacks returning the week after suffering concussions happens, but it's not unusual for them to miss multiple games. We'll be watching Gabriel's progress. Shedeur Sanders will start if Gabriel isn't cleared. |
Panthers | Bryce Young's status uncertain Mon Nov 17, 02:05 PM
Carolina Panthers QB Bryce Young (ankle) will have an update on his injured ankle later in the week, according to head coach Dave Canales.
| Footballguys view: Canales said he would tell us more on Thursday, but as The Athletic's Joe Person suggested, this is standard operating procedure with Canales during Monday pressers. Young was dealing with the injury for most of Sunday's win over the Falcons, but he did not miss an offensive snap and completed 31-of-45 passes for a career-high 448 yards, three touchdowns, and no interceptions. The Panthers play the 49ers in Week 12. |

Texans | C.J. Stroud still in protocol; Mills likely to start Week 12 Mon Nov 17, 01:06 PM
Davis Mills has quarterbacked the Texans to two straight wins, and it looks like there's a good chance he'll get an opportunity to make it three in a row. Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans told reporters on Monday that C.J. Stroud remains in the concussion protocol.
| Footballguys view: As ESPN's Adam Schefter reported Sunday morning, Stroud's chances of being cleared in time to play this week are hampered by the fact that Houston will be hosting the Bills on Thursday night this week. We'll follow, but fantasy investors should plan on seeing Mills, who was 26-of-41 for 274 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 19-16 win over the Titans. |

Falcons | Report: Michael Penix Jr. heading to injured reserve Mon Nov 17, 12:40 PM
Following up on the previous item . . . Falcons QB Michael Penix Jr is headed to Injured Reserve after aggravating a bone bruise and knee sprain from earlier in the season, sources tell NFL Network's Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero. Additionally, there has been damage to the ACL, which could mean a full reconstruction.
| Footballguys view: Veteran Kirk Cousins replaced Penix on Sunday in the eventual 30-27 overtime loss at home and will take over as the Falcons' starting quarterback with Penix sidelined. Cousins was 6-of-14 for 48 yards after replacing Penix. The Falcons play the Saints on Sunday. Remember, Cousins will be without Drake London, who suffered a PCL sprain on Sunday. |

Packers | No Surgery for Josh Jacobs; RB not ruled out for Week 12 yet Mon Nov 17, 12:19 PM
Packers star RB Josh Jacobs' knee is structurally sound, tests showed today, and no surgery is needed, sources tell NFL Network's Tom Pelissero and Ian Rapoport.

Jets | Tyrod Taylor named the starter Mon Nov 17, 12:16 PM
New York Jets QB Tyrod Taylor was named the starting quarterback for Week 12 against the Baltimore Ravens over QB Justin Fields.
| Footballguys view: The move comes on the heels of a 27-14 loss to the Patriots last Thursday that dropped the Jets to 2-8 on the season. Fields threw for just 116 yards on 15-of-26 passing. It marked the fourth time in the last five games that he finished with less than 200 passing yards and a completion rate below 60%. For weeks, head coach Aaron Glenn has resisted all inquiries into the possibility of a quarterback change, saying that not divulging his plans conveys a competitive advantage. Turns out there was no competitive advantage. |

Eagles | Lane Johnson out a month Mon Nov 17, 11:46 AM
Philadelphia Eagles RT Lane Johnson (foot) will miss four to six weeks after suffering a Lisfranc injury in Week 11.
| Footballguys view: Profootballtalk.com is reporting that Johnson is likely heading to injured reserve. If that's the case, he will miss at least four games. The Eagles' next four opponents are the Cowboys, Bears, Chargers, and Raiders. Fred Johnson took over at right tackle against Detroit, and he is now in line to start any or all of those games. |
Falcons | Report: Drake London likely to miss this week and possibly more Mon Nov 17, 11:24 AM
Falcons WR Drake London suffered a PCL sprain and is out this week and potentially more, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.
| Footballguys view: With Michael Penix Jr. out with what could be a season-ending knee injury and London out with a sprain, Atlanta is significantly short-handed. KhaDarel Hodge has been London's primary backup in recent weeks when London has missed time. We'll follow up as further details come to light. The Saints play the Saints in Week 12. |
Falcons | Michael Penix Jr. may have suffered season-ending injury Mon Nov 17, 10:57 AM
Falcons QB Michael Penix Jr. suffered a potentially season-ending knee injury during Sunday's loss to the Panthers, sources tell ESPN's Adam Schefter. Penix will be seeking a second opinion, but it is not encouraging.
| Footballguys view: Penix suffered season-ending ACL tears to his left knee in both 2018 and 2020 in college. He also missed a game this season in Week 8 after sustaining a bone bruise to that same knee in Week 7. And now this latest injury could sideline him for the rest of the 2025 season. We'll follow up as further details come to light. Kirk Cousins will fill in as needed. The Falcons play the Saints this week. |
Steelers | Jaylen Warren all good Mon Nov 17, 10:54 AM
Pittsburgh Steelers RB Jaylen Warren (ankle) said he could have returned after suffering an ankle injury in Week 11.
| Footballguys view: As noted in a previous item, Warren downplayed the issue post game. The veteran back noted he could have returned to the game, but the team held him out with an eye on the big picture. "I could have (returned), but it was part of being smart. We got a lot of games ahead of us, so they're looking out for me," Warren said, per Nick Farabaugh of PennLive.com. Based on that quote, it's clear Warren has a good chance to play against the Bears in Week 12. If head coach Mike Tomlin doesn't offer a specific update before then, we will know more about Warren when the Steelers put out their first injury report on Wednesday. |
Steelers | Aaron Rodgers undergoing tests Mon Nov 17, 09:10 AM
Pittsburgh Steelers QB Aaron Rodgers (wrist) will undergo further tests on his left wrist Monday, Nov. 17, to determine whether he can play in Week 12.
| Footballguys view: According to Profootballtalk.com's Mike Florio, Rodgers wanted to keep playing Sunday despite the injury. He was prevented from doing so. Today's examination will show the extent of the injury (a minor fracture is reportedly feared) and the potential duration of any absence. Via Ian Rapoport of NFL Media, the key factors will be whether the injury could end up getting worse and whether Rodgers can sufficiently grip the ball. Rapoport characterizes the possibility of Rodgers facing the Bears on Sunday as "50-50." We'll follow up as needed. |

Steelers safety Jalen Ramsey claims that he hit Bengals receiver Ja'Marr Chase because Chase spat on him. Chase denies it. "I didn't spit on anybody," Chase told reporters after the game.
| Footballguys view: There is video that looks very much like Chase did spit on Ramsey. Whether he did or didn't spit will be determined by the video. And decided by the league. If the league believes Chase spat on Ramsey, Chase is looking at a potential suspension for next Sunday's game at New England. As with most suspensions, a decision will be made quickly. Likely by the end of the day today, which would give Chase time to appeal the punishment. |

Buccaneers | Sean Tucker carves up Buffalo Mon Nov 17, 02:10 AM
Tampa Bay Buccaneers RB Sean Tucker carried the ball 19 times for 106 yards and a pair of touchdowns during the team's Week 11 loss to the Buffalo Bills. Tucker also added two receptions, 34 yards, and a score.
| Footballguys view: As Pro Football Focus' Nathan Jahnke notes, Rachaad White remained the clear passing-down back, but Tucker had the hot hand on the ground, leading Tampa Bay to use him more often in the run game. The Buccaneers have a rough matchup against the Rams in Week 12, and Bucky Irving could be back in the lineup by Week 13. Nonetheless, Tucker should be rostered with Jahnke pointing out the Bucs have a top-five schedule for running backs during the fantasy playoffs, so there is a slight chance Tucker could be a league winner. |
