Bills | Dalton Kincaid back fully Wed Dec 10, 01:22 PM
Buffalo Bills TE Dalton Kincaid (hamstring, knee) will practice in full on Wednesday, Dec. 10, according to head coach Sean McDermott.
| Footballguys view: Good news for the Bills here. They've got a trio of tight ends that can attack a defense, and Kincaid is the best of the bunch. Kincaid returned to the field in Week 14 and made an immediate impact. Against the Patriots in Week 15, the Bills need all the firepower they can muster. |

New York Jets QB Brady Cook will receive the first-team repetitions in practice Wednesday, Dec. 10.
| Footballguys view: Let's all give Jets' fans a hug. This is not a great situation for their offense or players Fantasy GMs might be looking to in the fantasy playoffs. QBs Tyrod Taylor (groin) and Justin Fields (knee) won't practice Wednesday, and they'll all be evaluated later in the week. |

Commanders | Jayden Daniels not being shut down Wed Dec 10, 12:43 PM
Washington Commanders QB Jayden Daniels (elbow) is not being shut down for the season, according to head coach Dan Quinn.
| Footballguys view: He won't be shut down for the season, but the Commanders have to be considering that move. Daniels did not look right in Week 14, and they've got nothing to play for. Marcus Mariota starts until Daniels is ready, and that may not be in the cards over the next four games. |
Commanders | Jayden Daniels out for Week 15 Wed Dec 10, 12:36 PM
Washington Commanders QB Jayden Daniels (elbow) had no structural damage to his left elbow, but he is out for Week 15. QB Marcus Mariota will start.
| Footballguys view: Mariota gets the start, and he's done a fine job filling in for Daniels this year. Daniels played last week, but you could tell his elbow was bothering him - especially when he had to brace himself for a fall. With the Commanders season a wash, they should be incredibly cautious with Daniels in the last month of the year. |

Colts | Riley Leonard will practice Wed Dec 10, 12:34 PM
Indianapolis Colts QB Riley Leonard (knee) will practice this week, but his status is up in the air for Week 15, according to head coach Shane Steichen.
| Footballguys view: The Colts may have to go with Philip Rivers at quarterback. Leonard looked overwhelmed last week, and he's not a great option as a starter - especially now that he's not 100 percent. Let's see what the end of the week practice status looks like, but be prepared to downgrade all your Colts' pass-catchers. |
Cardinals | Trey Benson's season over Wed Dec 10, 11:54 AM
Arizona Cardinals RB Trey Benson (knee) will remain on the Reserve/Injured list for the rest of the season.
| Footballguys view: Benson's season is done after suffering this knee injury in October. He should be ready to go sometime in the offseason and at the very latest in training camp next year. Benson should be in line for lead back duties in the Cardinals' backfield, but who knows what the quarterback situation will look like. |
Buccaneers | Mike Evans returning Wed Dec 10, 11:51 AM
Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR Mike Evans (collarbone) has shown everything he needed to in practice to return Thursday, Dec. 11, against the Atlanta Falcons, according to head coach Todd Bowles.
| Footballguys view: Evans is back for Thursday's game against the Falcons. It's the first week of the fantasy playoffs in most leagues, so consider Evans as a 'what the heck' flex in Week 15. He might be on a snap count in his first game back in action. |

Colts | Philip Rivers impresses with arm strength Wed Dec 10, 10:59 AM
Indianapolis Colts QB Philip Rivers impressed multiple team sources with his arm strength, according to sources. 'I'd still take him at this stage over most 22- to 23-year-old (backups),' according to one source.
| Footballguys view: Rivers may have to play for the Colts in Week 15 as Riley Leonard deals with a knee injury he suffered in Week 14. We'll be monitoring the practice reports on Leonard as the week goes on. Rivers is only a fantasy option (if he starts) in superflex leagues, and he's not a great one in that format. This whole move from the Colts reeks of desperation. |

Commanders | Zach Ertz to IR Wed Dec 10, 09:51 AM
Washington Commanders TE Zach Ertz (knee) was placed on the Reserve/Injured list with a torn anterior cruciate ligament Wednesday, Dec. 10.
| Footballguys view: John Bates could take over as the top tight end for the Commanders (its either him or Ben Sinnott). Ertz put together a strong season with 50 receptions for 504 yards and four touchdowns. Playing on a one-year deal in 2025, Ertz is set to be an unrestricted free agent in 2026. |

Browns | Alex Wright back with 43 snaps in Week 14 Wed Dec 10, 01:51 AM
Cleveland Browns DE Alex Wright (quadriceps) returned to the lineup in Week 14 against the Tennessee Titans after missing three games, and he played 43 snaps with a tackle and a quarterback hit. 'I don't like sitting out. I tried to come back for the (49ers) game, but just with the history of quad strains, there could be one wrong move and you can reaggravate,' Wright said.

Cleveland Browns TE David Njoku (knee) has been slowed by a knee injury, and he aggravated that injury in Week 14 against the Tennessee Titans on a touchdown reception.
| Footballguys view: Njoku barely played last week, but he did score a touchdown. Harold Fannin is a favorite target of Shedeur Sanders, and he's set to post TE1 numbers with Sanders starting the rest of the season. |

Link to story Browns | Jerome Ford placed on IR Tue Dec 9, 04:10 PM
Cleveland Browns RB Jerome Ford (shoulder) was placed on season-ending injured reserve on Tuesday, Dec. 9.
| Footballguys view: This was a sudden move, with Ford apparently sustaining his injury at some point during the Browns' 31-29 loss to the Titans this past Sunday. As CBSSports.com suggests, with just four games left on the Browns' schedule, Ford's 2025 campaign -- and perhaps his tenure in Cleveland -- will come to an end with his move to IR. Ford's absence over the next four weeks could clear the way for Raheim Sanders to step in as the No. 3 running back behind fellow rookies Quinshon Judkins and Dylan Sampson. |
Cowboys | Schottenheimer not worried about George Pickens' effort Tue Dec 9, 03:55 PM
George Pickens' effort in last week's Dallas Cowboys loss to the Detroit Lions was a big talking point. Over the extended layoff, coach Brian Schottenheimer spoke with Pickens about the situation, but said he wasn't making a mountain out of a mole hill. "We talked a little bit about it," Schottenheimer said Monday. "In his words, he said, 'Hey Schotty, I didn't play my best game.' I think that, unfortunately, none of us played our best game. But again, I don't worry about George and his love for football and playing this game."
| Footballguys view: Pickens generated five catches for 37 yards in the 44-30 loss in Detroit. The struggles were particularly notable after CeeDee Lamb left the contest with a concussion. After three roller-coaster seasons in Pittsburgh, which included questions similar to those that arose last week, Pickens has turned things around in Dallas, generating 78 catches, 1,179 yards, and eight touchdowns through 13 games -- all career highs. Schottenheimer isn't worried about last week's struggles bleeding into the rest of the season for the wideout, and fantasy investors should take that same approach in Week 15. |

Colts | Report: QB Riley Leonard considered week-to-week Tue Dec 9, 03:06 PM
Rookie QB Riley Leonard's status for the Colts' next game, at the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday, is still unclear. The team is hoping for more clarity on Wednesday, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter. When asked on Monday whether Leonard would play Sunday, coach Shane Steichen said, "That's the hope. We'll see how it goes." But source told Schefter on Monday night that Leonard had a strained knee ligament and was considered week-to-week.
| Footballguys view: If Leonard can't play, Philip Rivers, who worked out for the team Monday night and was signed to the practice squad Tuesday, might enter the picture. Still remembered fondly at Colts headquarters following his one season with Indianapolis in 2020, Rivers will be reunited with his close friend Steichen. The two previously spent six seasons together in the Chargers organization while Steichen was an assistant coach and Rivers was the team's longtime quarterback. Riley starting would be the desired outcome in Indy, but clearly the team is going to great lengths to prepare if he's not. |

Link to story Colts | Philip Rivers comes out of retirement, signs with Indianapolis Tue Dec 9, 01:08 PM
Free agent QB Philip Rivers signed with the Indianapolis Colts' practice squad on Tuesday, Dec. 9.
| Footballguys view: With starter Daniel Jones (Achilles) out for the season and backup Riley Leonard dealing with a knee injury, the Colts turned to Rivers as an emergency solution. Before the Colts can determine how soon Rivers can play, they have to see how he feels and practices Wednesday and Thursday. But Rivers played in this offense his entire career, and his relationship with coach Shane Steichen will be seamless. So this is more of a physical question than a mental one. The Colts believe Rivers could give them a realistic chance to stay competitive. Leonard's health will also be a factor. |

Steelers | DK Metcalf good to go Tue Dec 9, 12:32 PM
Pittsburgh Steelers WR DK Metcalf (stomach) could miss some practice time, but he should be able to play in Week 15, according to head coach Mike Tomlin.
| Footballguys view: Metcalf went to a Baltimore hospital after experiencing stomach pain. Tomlin said at his Tuesday press conference that the wideout was injured on a hit early in the game, and the pain got worse despite taking over-the-counter medication during the game. He added that Metcalf is "moving in the right direction." We'll continue to monitor this one as Monday night's game against the Dolphins draws nearer. |

Link to story Colts | Reports: Philip Rivers worked out for Colts Monday Night Tue Dec 9, 10:52 AM
A report on Monday said that quarterback Philip Rivers would work out for the Colts on Tuesday, but things are moving more quickly in Indianapolis. Per multiple reports on Tuesday morning, Rivers actually had his workout with his former team on Monday night. Those reports indicate Rivers, who retired after the 2020 season, threw the ball well during the workout.
| Footballguys view: As PFT notes, there's no word on an agreement, and the Colts are believed to be mulling over whether to bring Rivers in as an option to step in at quarterback in the wake of Daniel Jones' season-ending Achilles injury. Rookie Riley Leonard replaced Jones on Sunday, but is dealing with knee soreness that has clouded his availability for Week 15's game against the Seahawks. The Colts currently have Brett Rypien on the practice squad, and he's the only other in-house option, as Anthony Richardson is not a candidate to come off of injured reserve at this time. Stay tuned. |

Link to story Chargers | Omarion Hampton scores in his return Tue Dec 9, 02:17 AM
Los Angeles Chargers RB Omarion Hampton (ankle) had 13 carries for 56 yards against the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 14. Hampton also had two receptions, 11 yards, and a touchdown.
| Footballguys view: With Hampton back for the first time since Week 5, he and Kimani Vidal shared the workload, and both delivered. On the opening drive, they combined for 78 yards, capped off by a 4-yard receiving touchdown by Hampton. Their workload was similar -- Hampton with 13 carries and Vidal with 14 -- and both finished in RB2 territory. Low-end RB2 to flex outcomes seem like reasonable starting points for expectations here, but as ESPN.com's Kris Rhim suggested, the coming weeks will determine whether this is a timeshare or if Hampton will return to a featured role. |
