Jets | Justin Fields placed on season-ending IR Tue Dec 23, 05:05 PM
New York Jets QB Justin Fields (knee) was placed on season-ending injured reserve on Dec. 23.
| Footballguys view: Brady Cook will get another start this week. Meanwhile, as Profootballtalk.com suggests, the decision to give Fields a two-year, $40 million contract in March is looking like a costly mistake. It's unclear at this point whether Fields will be back next year, but the Jets are on the hook for at least that $10 million either way. The Jets will certainly also be looking, in the draft or free agency, for that elusive franchise quarterback. They thought they had a franchise quarterback when they signed Fields, but this season has proven them wrong. |

Bills | Josh Allen misses practice with an injury Tue Dec 23, 03:55 PM
Buffalo Bills QB Josh Allen (foot) will not practice on Tuesday, Dec. 23, according to head coach Sean McDermott.
| Footballguys view: The Bills were already scheduled to hold a walk-through session on Tuesday. The walk-through was scheduled before Buffalo clinched its seventh straight playoff berth with the Colts' loss on Monday night. McDermott said it was too early to determine whether Allen would practice on Wednesday. McDermott said Allen, who hurt his foot late in the first half Sunday but returned to play the second half, experienced no setbacks. The coach said he anticipates the quarterback playing on Sunday, when the Bills host the Eagles. Allen has not missed a start since his rookie season in 2018. Stay tuned. |

Browns | Deshaun Watson won't play in 2025 Tue Dec 23, 03:14 PM
Cleveland Browns QB Deshaun Watson (Achilles) will not play during the 2025 season, according to head coach Kevin Stefanski.
| Footballguys view: Watson was designated for a return to practice on Dec. 3, which marked the first time he practiced in a limited basis with the Browns since his Achilles tear in the 2024 Week 7 loss to the Bengals. By being kept on PUP, Watson can no longer practice, but he can be part of meetings, while continuing to rehab his injury. The Browns will keep Watson on the roster for the 2026 season. He's still worth $131,163,378 in cap hits spread out between 2026 -- when the contract expires -- and extra years created by restructuring late in 2024. |

Packers | Both Green Bay quarterback will be limited on Tuesday Tue Dec 23, 02:34 PM
Green Bay Packers QB Malik Willis (shoulder) and Jordan Love (concussion) will be limited in practice on Tuesday, Dec. 23, according to head coach Matt LaFleur.
| Footballguys view: There is a chance the Packers will have their starting quarterback when they take on the Ravens Saturday night. Love is in concussion protocol, having been placed in it during last Saturday's loss to the Bears. But his ability to get on the field on a limited basis -- even in a jog-through session -- is a step in the right direction. Willis, dealing with a shoulder injury, seems less of a concern. We'll continue to monitor in advance of Saturday's game. Green Bay will clinch a playoff berth with a victory over Baltimore or a Detroit loss to Minnesota. |

Vikings | Max Brosmer named Week 17 starter Tue Dec 23, 02:09 PM
Minnesota Vikings QB Max Brosmer will start Week 17 against the Detroit Lions due to an injury to J.J. McCarthy.
| Footballguys view: This will be Brosmer's second NFL start. He was thrown into the starting role on November 30 when the Vikings lost 26-0 at Seattle. Brosmer struggled mightily, completing 19-of-30 passes for 126 yards, no touchdowns, and four interceptions. Brosmer played the entire second half against the Giants after McCarthy was injured, and threw just nine passes, completing seven of them for 52 yards. He didn't throw a touchdown, nor was he intercepted. He was sacked once. His presence in the starting lineup further diminishes the value of Minnesota's receiving assets, including Justin Jefferson. |
Vikings | J.J. McCarthy out for Week 17 Tue Dec 23, 02:05 PM
Minnesota Vikings QB J.J. McCarthy (hand) will miss Week 17 against the Detroit Lions, according to head coach Kevin O'Connell. McCarthy has a small fracture in his throwing hand.
| Footballguys view: O'Connell said the injury shouldn't require surgery. McCarthy suffered an injury to his right hand during Minnesota's win over the Giants on Sunday. Details about the injury have been murky, but he appeared to hurt himself when his hand struck a Giants defender's helmet during the follow-through of a pass attempt two plays before he scrambled for a 12-yard rushing touchdown. Without McCarthy, the Vikings will give undrafted rookie Max Brosmer his second start of the season, which doesn't bode well for the team's receiving assets for Sunday's game. |
Colts | Philip Rivers turns back the clock on MNF Tue Dec 23, 12:59 AM
Indianapolis Colts QB Philip Rivers completed 23 of 35 passes for 277 yards, two touchdowns, and an interception against the San Francisco 49ers in Week 16. With the game out of hand late, Rivers was replaced by QB Riley Leonard on the final drive.
| Footballguys view: After Rivers played it close to the vest against Seattle in Week 14 -- in his first game in five years -- he opened things up in a significant way Monday night, pushing the ball farther downfield after averaging just 4.4 yards per attempt in his previous game. Unfortunately, the Colts' defense had its most miserable performance of the season. After starting 2025 at 8-2 and in the conversation among title contenders, Indianapolis has now lost five straight and seems destined to miss the playoffs again. But they're not eliminated yet, so expect Rivers to make another start. |

49ers | Brock Purdy throws five TD passes Tue Dec 23, 12:02 AM
San Francisco 49ers QB Brock Purdy completed 25 of 34 passes for 295 yards, five touchdowns, and one interception versus the Indianapolis Colts in Week 16. Purdy also ran the ball twice for 11 yards in the win.
| Footballguys view: As ESPN.com's Nick Wagoner suggested, "Monday Night Football" hadn't been kind to Purdy, as he had thrown five touchdowns and 11 interceptions in his five appearances entering this game. But Purdy shrugged those woes off against a depleted Colts secondary, posting his first career five-touchdown game. He's the first Niners quarterback to throw for five scores on MNF and the team's first signal-caller to throw for five or more touchdowns in a regular-season or playoff game since Steve Young in Super Bowl XXIX against the Chargers. The Niners play the Bears on Sunday night in Week 17. |

TE Gavin Bartholomew (back), RB Ty Chandler (knee) and LB Austin Keys (ankle) fully participated in practice. The Vikings did not hold a practice Monday, so the report is an estimation.

Link to story Bills | Josh Allen day-to-day Mon Dec 22, 04:28 PM
Buffalo Bills QB Josh Allen (foot) is considered day-to-day because of the foot injury he suffered in Week 16, according to head coach Sean McDermott. Allen could miss some practice time this week, but McDermott expects Allen to be available for Week 17.
| Footballguys view: Allen took a 23-yard sack late in the first half of Sunday's game, but injured himself on the play. He told reporters later he tweaked his foot a little bit. He returned for the second half of the game -- after having precautionary X-rays on the foot. Allen said the pain subsided, but he clearly had to battle through the second half. He finished the game, completing just 12 of 19 passes for 130 yards. He failed to produce a TD running or passing. We'll watch for more on this one as Sunday afternoon's tilt with the Eagles draws nearer. |

QB Jayden Daniels (elbow) was limited during practice. OG Brandon Coleman (shin), OT George Fant (knee) and TE Colson Yankoff (ankle) fully participated in practice. The Commanders only held a walkthrough Monday, so the report is an estimation.

Chiefs | Shane Buechele officially signed Mon Dec 22, 03:40 PM
Updating a previous report, Buffalo Bills practice squad QB Shane Buechele was signed to the Kansas City Chiefs 53-man roster Monday, Dec. 22. Terms of the contract were not disclosed.
| Footballguys view: With Gardner Minshew going on IR, Chris Oladokun is poised to start at quarterback against the Broncos this week on Christmas night, with the newly-signed Buechele likely to serve as his backup. |
Shane Buechele player page
Chiefs | Gardner Minshew placed on IR Mon Dec 22, 03:21 PM
Kansas City Chiefs QB Gardner Minshew (knee) was placed on the Reserve/Injured list Monday, Dec. 27.
| Footballguys view: We learned earlier today that Minshew avoided a torn ACL, but his knee injury was significant enough to cost him the rest of the 2025 season. Minshew played 14 snaps before he had to exit Sunday's loss to the Titans. In four appearances with one start this season, Minshew completed 6-of-13 passes for 37 yards with an interception. As Profootballtalk.com pointed out, Minshew is set to be a free agent in 2026. With his experience, the veteran signal caller is likely to have a market for his services as a backup next year. |

Chiefs | Gardner Minshew avoids torn ACL; QB will still miss time Mon Dec 22, 02:17 PM
Kansas City Chiefs QB Gardner Minshew's (knee) MRI did not show a torn anterior cruciate ligament, but he is still expected to miss time because of the knee injury he suffered in Week 16, according to sources.
| Footballguys view: To that end, multiple reports note the Chiefs are signing quarterback Shane Buechele to the 53-man roster off the Bills' practice squad. Hosting the Broncos on Thursday night to cap the Christmas Day slate, the Chiefs are set to release their first injury report of the week later on Monday. Given Minshew's injury, Chris Oladokun is likely to start for Kansas City this week after playing the majority of Sunday's game. |

Panthers | Bryce Young expected to be fine Mon Dec 22, 01:33 PM
Carolina Panthers QB Bryce Young (ankle) should be a full participant during practice this upcoming week despite injuring his ankle during the Week 16 game, according to head coach Dave Canales.
| Footballguys view: While his stats on Sunday don't leap off the page, Young generated 191 yards on 21-of-32 passing with two touchdowns, the QB made clutch plays late. He now has 12 career game-winning drives. Only Justin Herbert (13) has more before turning 25 (since 1950). Only Dak Prescott (14), Matt Ryan (13), and Herbert had more in their first three seasons. Carolina plays Seattle in Week 17. The Seahawks will be a much greater challenge than the Buccaneers. We'll monitor Young's health in coming days. |

Commanders | Marcus Mariota not ruled out for Week 17 Mon Dec 22, 12:57 PM
Washington Commanders QB Marcus Mariota (hand, quadriceps) hasn't been ruled out for the Week 17 game Thursday, Dec. 25.
| Footballguys view: Mariota has stitches in his throwing hand, while also dealing with a quad injury, so his status on a short week was very doubtful. And while Quinn might not be ready to rule him out yet, the coach said that backup Josh Johnson will be getting the majority of starts in practice as they prepare to play the Cowboys on Thursday. |

Commanders | Jeff Driskel picked up by Commanders Mon Dec 22, 12:02 PM
Arizona Cardinals QB Jeff Driskel was signed off the practice squad by the Washington Commanders Monday, Dec. 22.
| Footballguys view: On Saturday, Marcus Mariota, filling in for Jayden Daniels, was forced out early against the Eagles. Mariota is considered day-to-day, head coach Dan Quinn said Sunday, adding that Mariota is nursing a quadriceps injury, in addition to a hand ailment. The Commanders play on Christmas Day against the Cowboys, so we should consider Mariota questionable at best. That leaves the team with Josh Johnson as the only healthy body at the position. Driskel will add to that. |

Vikings | J.J. McCarthy to have MRI Mon Dec 22, 11:05 AM
Minnesota Vikings QB J.J. McCarthy (hand) will have an MRI on his right hand Monday, Dec. 22. X-rays were negative.
| Footballguys view: While the results of the X-rays were good, Minneapolis Star Tribune staffer Ben Goessling reports that further tests will be used to determine whether the quarterback suffered any ligament damage. Coach Kevin O'Connell said after the game he was unsure if McCarthy was able to grip the ball on the strip sack that ended his day. The Vikings play on Thursday this week, so the short turnaround will be a factor here. Max Brosmer is standing by. |
Packers | Malik Willis nicked up Mon Dec 22, 10:57 AM
Green Bay Packers QB Malik Willis (shoulder) suffered a right shoulder injury from a fall in Week 17. Willis was able to finish the game.
| Footballguys view: Jordan Love left Saturday night's game against the Bears in the first half with a concussion, and Willis played the rest of the way in the overtime loss despite landing hard on the shoulder late in the game. "He's going to be another guy that we'll see where he's at as we progress," coach Matt LaFleur said. "That further complicates the other problem." The Packers do not have another quarterback on their 53-man roster, but they do have former Cardinal Clayton Tune on the practice squad. The Packers play the Ravens on Saturday. We'll be watching this one closely. |
Packers | Jordan Love in concussion protocol Mon Dec 22, 10:53 AM
Green Bay Packers QB Jordan Love (concussion) is in concussion protocol following Week 16.
| Footballguys view: Love left Chicago in the protocol because he had taken a helmet-to-helmet hit in the second quarter Saturday. Love must pass through the five-step protocol that requires increasing activity, followed by baseline testing, with each step along the way. He must remain asymptomatic throughout. We'll be watching for more on this, and on his backup, Malik Willis, who is dealing with a minor shoulder issue. The Packers play the Ravens on Saturday. |

Ravens | Tyler Huntley efficient in relief Mon Dec 22, 01:32 AM
Baltimore Ravens QB Tyler Huntley completed nine of his 10 pass attempts for 65 yards without a touchdown or interception during the team's Week 16 loss to the New England Patriots. Huntley, who came on late in the first half for an injured Lamar Jackson (back), also ran twice for two yards.

Patriots | Drake Maye throws for 380 in win Mon Dec 22, 12:03 AM
New England Patriots QB Drake Maye completed 31 of his 44 passes for a career-high 380 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception in a Week 16 win over the Baltimore Ravens. Maye also ran the ball 10 times for 25 yards.
| Footballguys view: As ESPN.com's Mike Reiss noted, the Patriots were one-dimensional on offense, favoring the pass, and Maye recorded his first career 300-yard passing game despite facing heavy pressure. But Maye had two turnovers -- an interception that ended the team's first drive, when WR Kayshon Boutte wasn't competitive at the top of the route, and a lost fumble that cost the team a chance at a field goal before halftime. Still, Maye did nothing to tarnish his standing as a front-line fantasy starter, as he sat at QB6 overall through Sunday night's games. The Patriots play the Jets on Sunday. |
Steelers | Aaron Rodgers posts 266 yards, touchdown Sun Dec 21, 11:38 PM

Jaguars | Trevor Lawrence delivers another gem Sun Dec 21, 09:30 PM
Jacksonville Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence completed 23 of his 36 passes for 279 yards and three touchdowns and rushed six times for 20 yards and a score in a 34-20 win over the Denver Broncos in Week 16.
| Footballguys view: Lawrence now has 18 touchdowns (16 passing, two rushing) during the Jaguars' six-game winning streak, including 10 in the past two games. He has 26 passing touchdowns this season, making him the only player in franchise history to throw 25 or more touchdowns twice. For our purposes, he's been QB1 overall since Week 10. With games against the Colts and Titans remaining, Lawrence could easily continue adding to that total. His success against one of the league's top defenses will have us starting him with total confidence at Indianapolis in Week 17. |

Buccaneers | Baker Mayfield throw for 145 yards, TD Sun Dec 21, 07:07 PM
Tampa Bay Buccaneers QB Baker Mayfield completed 18-of-26 passes for 145 yards, one touchdown and one interception in Week 16 against the Carolina Panthers. He ran four times for 49 yards, too.
| Footballguys view: The Panthers defense was in Mayfield's face all day and rarely let him get clean looks or time to throw downfield. He wasn't a good play this week but will be a great play against Miami next week for teams that don't have a clearcut QB1. The Bucs can still make the playoffs with wins over the Dolphins and Panthers in the last two games. |

New Orleans Saints QB Tyler Shough went 32-for-49 for 308 yards and one touchdown against the New York Jets in Week 16. He also rushed for eight yards in two carries during the game.
| Footballguys view: Shough has settled in as a low-end QB1 in the second half of the season. He'll be a consideration in fantasy championship lineups with a good matchup against the Titans in Week 17. |
Titans | Cam Ward tosses two touchdowns Sun Dec 21, 06:12 PM
Tennessee Titans QB Cam Ward completed 21-of-28 passes for 228 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions in Week 16 against the Kansas City Chiefs, and he ran four times for nine yards.
| Footballguys view: Ward was a very good QB2/Superflex play against a Chiefs team that seems to be packing up early for the offseason vacation. He'll have a tougher matchup next week against the resurgent Saints defense, but with so many quarterbacks getting hurt, he's a solid QB2/Superflex play again next week. |
Jets | Brady Cook finishes with 188 yards Sun Dec 21, 05:47 PM
New York Jets QB Brady Cook went 22-for-35 for 188 yards, zero touchdowns and one interception against the New Orleans Saints in Week 16. He also rushed for two yards on one carry during the game but did lose a fumble.
| Footballguys view: Cook has been able to complete 22 passes in both of his first two NFL starts, but he isn't threatening downfield and he wasn't adding any value as a scrambler against an underrated Saints defense. The Patriots D/ST will be a good Week 17 play against the Jets rookie UDFA quarterback and no one in the Jets offense is worth plugging into fantasy lineups. |
