Packers | Josh Jacobs misses practice Wed Dec 17, 01:57 PM
Green Bay Packers RB Josh Jacobs (ankle, knee) did not practice on Wednesday, Dec. 17.
| Footballguys view: Jacobs missed two days of practice last week before playing against the Broncos in Week 15. Now, set to play a huge game against the Bears in Week 16, Jacobs is being managed carefully during practice. Emanuel Wilson will get a large role if Jacobs can't play on Saturday night. |

Bills | Mecole Hardman designated to return Wed Dec 17, 01:15 PM
Buffalo Bills WR Mecole Hardman (calf) is designated to return from injured reserve, according to head coach Sean McDermott.
| Footballguys view: Hardman was put on IR in late November with this calf injury. He's back, but it remains to be seen what kind of role he will have upon his return. Hardman may not be much of a fantasy factor, but he can make plays on offense and special teams as the Bills make yet another run at the Super Bowl. |

Cardinals | Marvin Harrison Jr. to practice Wed Dec 17, 12:36 PM
Arizona Cardinals WR Marvin Harrison Jr. (heel) will practice Wednesday, Dec. 17. The practice will just be a walkthrough.
| Footballguys view: Let's see what Harrison looks like later in the week. If he returns to the field in Week 16, it dings the fantasy value for Michael Wilson. Harrison against the Falcons is a potentially juicy matchup, but we could only recommend him as a WR3/flex option if he plays. |
Packers | Christian Watson to practice Wed Dec 17, 12:00 PM
Green Bay Packers WR Christian Watson (chest) will practice Wednesday, Dec. 17, according to head coach Matt LaFleur.
| Footballguys view: Watson went down against the Broncos on Sunday when Pat Surtain lept in front of him for a pick (while landing on him). LaFleur and company believe Watson will be good to go in Week 16. Against the Bears in a huge game, Watson is a WR3/flex option for Fantasy GMs fighting in the fantasy playoffs. |
Falcons | Drake London to practice Wed Dec 17, 11:40 AM
Atlanta Falcons WR Drake London (knee) will return to practice Wednesday, Dec. 17.
| Footballguys view: London hasn't played since Week 11, and his return would be a boost for the passing attack. It would potentially hurt the targets going to TE Kyle Pitts, and David Sills would go back to the bench (or fantasy waiver wire) if London plays against the Cardinals in Week 16. |
Dolphins | Matt Judon released Wed Dec 17, 11:22 AM
Miami Dolphins LB Matt Judon was released Wednesday, Dec. 17.

Dolphins | Quinn Ewers takes over for Tua Tugovailoa Wed Dec 17, 10:05 AM
Miami Dolphins QB Quinn Ewers was named the starting quarterback for Week 16 as QB Tua Tagovailoa has been benched.
| Footballguys view: Tagovailoa has been one of the most inefficient quarterbacks in all of football, so it's no surprise (especially after that game against the Steelers) this move is being made. There's a whopping $56.4 million cap hit in 2026, so Tagovailoa is likely sticking around whether or not he's starting. Ewers is a seventh-round pick (2025) out of Texas, and he looked good in the preseason. Expect a run-heavy offensive gameplan, which is something they've been doing recently anyway. |

Houston Texans RB Jawhar Jordan was elevated from the practice squad to the active roster on Tuesday, Dec. 16.
| Footballguys view: Jordan was elevated to the active roster for Sunday's game against the Cardinals and had 15 carries for 101 yards in his NFL debut. He became only the second player in team history to rush for 100 yards or higher in their NFL debut, joining Ben Tate, who had 101 yards in his debut 14 years ago. He will join Woody Marks, who has an ankle injury, Nick Chubb, who missed Sunday's game with a rib injury, and Dare Ogunbowale in the rotation at the position. |

Arizona Cardinals RB Bam Knight (ankle) was placed on season-ending injured reserve on Tuesday, Dec. 16.
| Footballguys view: The team will now rely on Michael Carter, who had a decent game in place of Knight in Houston, rushing for 54 yards on 14 carries, while also assisting as a pass blocking back. Emari Demercado could also play a greater role in his second game back from a sprained ankle, but Carter will be front and center. |
Packers | RB Marshawn Lloyd likely to miss rest of season Tue Dec 16, 03:37 PM
According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, RB Marshawn Lloyd, whom the team was hoping to have return this season, suffered another hamstring injury in recent days. His return is now at best delayed if not derailed.
| Footballguys view: Head coach Matt LaFleur addressed the injury on Tuesday. "It's one of those things that's very, very unfortunate," LaFleur said. "To be in that spot again, what do you say to him?" The coach added he feels "extremely bad" for Lloyd, who is likely to remain on injured reserve and miss the rest of the season. |

Packers | LaFleur not sure if WR Christian Watson can play Saturday Tue Dec 16, 03:12 PM
On Tuesday, Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said he's "not quite sure" about WR Christian Watson's status for Saturday's game against Chicago and will give him as much time as possible before determining if he'll play this week. "The pain's a big part of it, but functionality -- he's gotta prove that throughout the course of the week," LaFleur said.
| Footballguys view: Watson left last Sunday's loss to the Broncos with a chest injury and went to the hospital for evaluation before traveling home with the team. While LaFleur added that the team will give Watson "up to game time," the shorter turnaround will be a factor. If Watson can't go, Romeo Doubs, Jayden Reed, Matthew Golden, and Dontayvion Wicks are candidates to benefit. |
Jaguars | DeeJay Dallas signed to Jacksonville Tue Dec 16, 03:10 PM
Carolina Panthers RB DeeJay Dallas was signed off the Carolina Panthers' practice squad on Tuesday, Dec. 16.

He had 121 carries for 517 yards and four touchdowns in 78 games for the Cardinals and Seahawks over the previous five seasons. Rookie LeQuint Allen Jr. is the next man up behind Travis Etienne Jr. with Tuten sidelined. Dallas offers depth, but don't expect a regular role. |

49ers | Ricky Pearsall dealing with injuries Tue Dec 16, 02:59 PM
San Francisco 49ers WR Ricky Pearsall (ankle, knee) is dealing with ankle and knee injuries, so his practice participation for this week is uncertain, according to head coach Kyle Shanahan.
| Footballguys view: Pearsall apparently aggravated his PCL injury. Against the Titans, Pearsall put up six catches for 96 yards. That's more than what he's tallied from Weeks 11 to 13 combined. It's also his best output since Week 3 (eight catches for 117 yards). The 49ers play on Monday night, so they have an extra day for Pearsall to get right. But Pearsall's status against the Colts should be an easy decision for the 49ers to make. |

Dolphins | McDaniel puts Tua Tagovailoa on notice Tue Dec 16, 02:26 PM
Miami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel said, 'Everything is on the table,' when asked about considering a change at the quarterback position from Tua Tagovailoa.
| Footballguys view: Tagovailoa was 6-of-10 for 65 yards and an interception through the first three quarters of Monday's 28-15 loss in Pittsburgh. He threw a pair of touchdowns and padded his stats once the team was down 28-3 in the fourth quarter, but the overall performance was a disappointing one, and the loss ended the Dolphins' chances of making it to the postseason. McDaniel said that he will spend the coming hours "trying to determine who gives us the best chance to win" and said he expects to have a decision on Wednesday. Zach Wilson and Quinn Ewers are the other quarterback options in Miami. |
