Steelers | George Pickens doubtful for Week 15 Wed Dec 11, 09:18 AM
Pittsburgh Steelers WR George Pickens (hamstring) is considered doubtful for Week 15, head coach Mike Tomlin told reporters on Tuesday, Dec. 10.
| Footballguys view: Tomlin said Pickens has an "outside chance" to play in Week 15. The hamstring injury suffered in last Thursday's practice was more serious than originally thought, and that's why Pickens missed the game in Week 14. He might need another week of rest, so we'll see what he does in practice on Friday as the Steelers prepare for a road game against the Eagles. |
Jaguars | Evan Engram banged-up Wed Dec 11, 09:18 AM
Jacksonville Jaguars TE Evan Engram (shoulder) suffered an unspecified shoulder injury during the Week 14 game against the Tennessee Titans, head coach Doug Pederson revealed on Monday, Dec. 9.
| Footballguys view: Engram caught 4-of-6 targets for 33 yards in the Jaguars' Week 14 win over the Titans. He missed time earlier this year, so we'll have to see what Engram does (or does not do) this week in practice. |

Seattle Seahawks WR Jaxon Smith-Njigba's 767 receiving yards are 217 more than the next closest player (Ladd McConkey, 550), according to Next Gen Stats.
| Footballguys view: Smith-Njigba led the Seahawks with 82 receiving yards and a TD in Week 14. The role and workload have proven to be persistent. Sunday marked his fifth consecutive game with 70-plus receiving yards, which is tied for the longest streak in team history (with DK Metcalf in 2020 and Steve Largent in 1985. Smith-Njigba is currently WR6 for the season, averaging 15.3 fantasy points per game. |

He has averaged 26.7 yards per kickoff return in 27 games in his three seasons in the league. The Panthers lost returner Raheem Blackshear to a chest injury Sunday. The Panthers also swapped out wide receivers on the practice squad, signing veteran Trenton Irwin and releasing Dax Milne. |
Raiders | Las Vegas announces three transactions Tue Dec 10, 01:17 PM
Las Vegas Raiders RB Zamir White (quad) was placed on the Reserve/Injured list on Tuesday, Dec. 10. QB Carter Bradley was signed off the practice squad to replace him on the roster and free-agent QB Jake Luton (Panthers) was signed to the practice squad to fill the void left behind by Bradley's promotion.
| Footballguys view: White hasn't played since the Week 11 loss to the Dolphins with a quad injury. A 2022 fourth-round pick, White will end his third season with 183 yards rushing, a touchdown, and six catches for 30 yards. With White and Alexander Mattison missing the last three games, Sincere McCormick has emerged as the team's lead back, a role he's likely to hold even when Mattison returns from his ankle injury. |

Steelers | Tomlin Characterizes George Pickens As Doubtful For Week 15 Tue Dec 10, 12:21 PM
Steelers coach Mike Tomlin told reporters that while George Pickens (hamstring) could theoretically play this week, he's best described as doubtful.
| Footballguys view: This adds to local reporting, specifically by Pittsburgh Post-Gazette staffer Gerry Dulac, who reported Monday night that Pickens sustained a Grade 2 hamstring strain in practice last week. His type of injury usually requires a player to miss at least two games, and the Steelers want to be cautious. After making Pickens a pre-game inactive against the Browns, Tomlin said, "We didn't want a small problem to become a big problem." Mike Williams, Van Jefferson, Calvin Austin III, and Scotty Miller were all involved against Cleveland with Pickns out. Tight end Pat Freiermuth's opportunities could increase if Pickens is out against the Eagles, as expected. |

Chargers | Will Dissly to miss a few weeks Tue Dec 10, 02:00 AM
Los Angeles Chargers TE Will Dissly (shoulder) suffered an unspecified shoulder injury during the Week 14 game on Sunday, Dec. 8, that will likely sideline him a few weeks, per sources on Monday, Dec. 9.
| Footballguys view: This aligns with what Footballguys injury expert Adam Hutchison wrote in his Monday Week 14 Injury Roundup. Stone Smartt is the likely starter in Dissly's absence. |

Ravens | Diontae Johnson officially suspended Tue Dec 10, 02:00 AM
Baltimore Ravens WR Diontae Johnson was placed on the reserve/suspended list on Monday, Dec. 9.
| Footballguys view: The statement from General Manager Eric DeCosta cited Johnson's refusal to enter the team's Week 13 game against the Eagles as the reason for his suspension, and coach John Harbaugh pointed to that statement when asked where things stand with Johnson. "I think the statement said there would be no further comment on that," Harbaugh said at his Monday press conference. "We'll kind of leave it at that, and we'll see where it goes as time permits." The Ravens acquired Johnson in a trade with the Panthers in late October. He has one catch in four games with the team. |

Rams | Tyler Higbee a full participant Tue Dec 10, 02:00 AM
Los Angeles Rams TE Tyler Higbee (knee) fully participated in practice Monday, Dec. 9. The Rams did not hold a practice Monday, so this is an estimation.

He remains on the reserve/physically unable to perform list but returned to practice on Nov. 27. Coach Sean McVay said, "We'll see" about Higbee's availability for Thursday night against the 49ers. We'll monitor and follow up as needed. |

Rams | Demarcus Robinson does not practice Tue Dec 10, 02:00 AM
Los Angeles Rams WR Demarcus Robinson (shoulder) did not participate in practice Monday, Dec. 9. The Rams did not hold a practice Monday, so this is an estimation.
| Footballguys view: Robinson left Sunday's 44-42 win over the Bills in the second half with a shoulder injury and did not return. Head coach McVay revealed on Monday that Robinson has an AC joint sprain, but he added the team is hopeful the wideout will be able to play against the 49ers on Thursday night. He has two opportunities to get on the practice field before the game. Tutu Atwell and Tyler Johnson are next men up. Wide receiver Jordan Whittington (shoulder) also missed Monday's session. |

49ers | No practice for Isaac Guerendo Tue Dec 10, 02:00 AM
San Francisco 49ers RB Isaac Guerendo (foot) did not participate in practice Monday, Dec. 9. The 49ers did not hold a practice Monday, so this is an estimation.
| Footballguys view: The 49ers have not ruled Guerendo out to play against the Rams, but head coach Kyle Shanahan suggested it was unlikely the rookie would make it onto the field again today. We'll continue to monitor, but at this point, Patrick Taylor Jr. is the likely starter, with Ke'Shawn Vaughn and Israel Abanikanda behind him. |
Titans | Will Levis dealing with shoulder issue Tue Dec 10, 02:00 AM
Tennessee Titans QB Will Levis (shoulder) will be monitored this upcoming week after aggravating his shoulder injury during the Week 14 game, according to head coach Brian Callahan.
| Footballguys view: Levis was slammed to the turf and aggravated the sprained AC joint in his throwing shoulder. He acknowledged that the hit made the injury worse, and he required a shot to continue. According to USA Today's Titans Wire, it was clear that Levis was playing through pain and lost velocity on his throws. Callahan expressed optimism that Levis will not miss time, but we'll watch for more. Mason Rudolph would get the call if Levis can't go. |

Seahawks | Kenneth Walker to undergo tests Tue Dec 10, 02:00 AM
Seattle Seahawks RB Kenneth Walker III (calf) is scheduled to undergo tests on his calf to determine the severity of the injury, according to head coach Mike Macdonald. Macdonald said Walker is no longer dealing with an ankle issue.
| Footballguys view: When asked about Walker's status during his weekly Monday press conference, Macdonald didn't have any concrete updates on his prognosis, though he did suggest that the team should have a better idea of his timeline in the next day or two as preparation for the Packers starts to ramp up. While Seattle hopes Walker will be available for Sunday's prime-time contest, if he has to miss a second straight game, Zach Charbonnet has proven more than capable of holding his own as the feature back. Starting against Arizona, Charbonnet rushed for a career-high 134 yards and two touchdowns, including a 51-yard run. Meanwhile, we'll be watching for more as the weekend draws nearer. |
Raiders | Desmond Ridder expected to face old team Tue Dec 10, 02:00 AM
Las Vegas Raiders QB Desmond Ridder is expected to start in Week 15 against the Atlanta Falcons. Head coach Antonio Pierce said the team is still waiting on the diagnosis for QB Aidan O'Connell (knee), but he said he expects Ridder start.
| Footballguys view: Ridder has made four appearances with the Raiders since he signed with the club in late October. He's completed 28-of-44 passes for 239 yards with a touchdown. Ridder started 13 games for the Falcons last year after the club selected him in the third round of the 2022 draft. He completed 64.2 percent of his passes for 2,836 yards with 12 touchdowns and 12 interceptions for Atlanta in 2023. He was traded to the Cardinals in the offseason and was on Arizona's practice squad when he joined the Raiders. Now, Ridder is on track to start against his former team on Monday night. |

Browns | Jameis Winston remains starting QB Tue Dec 10, 01:38 AM
Cleveland Browns QB Jameis Winston will remain as the starter heading into Week 15 against the Kansas City Chiefs despite the team being eliminated from the playoffs, head coach Kevin Stefanski confirmed Monday, Dec. 9. 'Our focus right now is just trying to find ways to get a win,' Stefanski said.
| Footballguys view: Winston helped lead a pair of upset victories over the Baltimore Ravens and Pittsburgh Steelers after taking over in Week 8 for Deshaun Watson, who suffered a ruptured right Achilles tendon. Winston, however, has thrown the most interceptions (9) in the NFL since, including two in the loss to the Steelers and the Browns (3-10) are 2-4 in his six starts this season. The team's other option, Dorian Thompson-Robinson, started three games as a rookie and entered in Week 7 when Watson was injured but later left with a thumb injury. The only other quarterback on the active roster is Bailey Zappe, whom the Browns signed off the Chiefs' practice squad in late October. From a fantasy perspective, Winston's production matters more than his turnovers. He's had at least 41 attempts in all but one of his starts and made Jerry Jeudy, David Njoku, Elijah Moore, and Cedric Tillman (when healthy and available) viable options. |
