Browns | Shedeur Sanders to remain the starter in Week 13 Mon Nov 24, 01:56 PM
Shedeur Sanders will start at quarterback in Sunday's game against the San Francisco 49ers, Cleveland Browns coach Kevin Stefanski announced Monday.
| Footballguys view: Sanders will remain the starter even though Dillon Gabriel has cleared the concussion protocol, Stefanski said. With Gabriel sidelined, Sanders completed 11 of 20 passes for 209 yards with one touchdown and an interception in the Browns' 24-10 victory over the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday in his first NFL start. The victory ended a 17-game losing streak for the Browns in games with a quarterback making his first career start. That was the longest streak by any franchise since 1950, when QB starts were first recorded. |
Todd Bowles said RB Bucky Irving is going to practice all week, and if he's fine on Friday, he will play on Sunday against the Cardinals.
| Footballguys view: Bowles said the same in ruling Irving out for Week 12 last Friday. Irving, who has not played since Week 4 vs. the Eagles due to shoulder and foot injuries, reportedly looked strong at practice last week and might have been able to play against the Rams, but the team decided to hold him out, give him one more week, and have him return next Sunday. |

Pre-MRI, the Buccaneers believe Baker Mayfield suffered a sprained AC joint in his left shoulder, sources tell ESPN's Adam Schefter.
| Footballguys view: There was no fracture and no structural damage. One source told Schefter the Buccaneers "are not ruling out" Mayfield for Sunday's game against the Cardinals. But today's MRI will tell more. We'll have more when that information is available. |

TE Darren Waller (pectoral; injured reserve) will have his 21-day practice window opened on Wednesday, head coach Mike McDaniel told reporters Monday.
| Footballguys view: Despite missing the past four games, Waller is tied for second on the team with four touchdown receptions. Only Jaylen Waddle, with five, has more. We'll be monitoring his progress in coming days. |

Kansas City Chiefs OG Trey Smith (ankle) is dealing with a high-ankle sprain and a low-ankle sprain. He's likely out for Week 13 and could be out longer.
Link to storyNew England Patriots OG Jared Wilson (ankle) suffered a high-ankle sprain in Week 12 and could miss four to six weeks.
Link to storyFree-agent PK Justin Tucker (Ravens) will work out for the New Orleans Saints Monday, Nov. 24.
| Footballguys view: Tucker was reinstated 13 days ago, after serving a 10-game suspension under the Personal Conduct Policy. Some believed Tucker's off-field baggage, coupled with a lackluster 2024 season with the Ravens (73.3-percent field-goal conversion rate), would make it more difficult for him to get a shot. Current Saints kicker Blake Grupe has missed eight of 26 field goals this season. On Sunday against the Falcons, Grupe missed a 38-yard field goal and a 47-yard field goal. |

Updating previous reports, New England Patriots OT Will Campbell (knee) could land on the Reserve/Injured list with a sprained medial collateral ligament, as head coach Mike Vrabel said he expects him to be out more than a week or two.
| Footballguys view: Coach Mike Vrabel told reporters that a roster decision (IR or not) is coming, but "It's (hopefully) nothing that's gonna put him out for the entire season." The hope in New England seems to be, even if he goes on IR, that Campbell would return in four weeks, when it counts the most. |
New York Giants defensive coordinator Shane Bowen was fired Monday, Nov. 24. Outside linebackers coach Charlie Bullen will serve as interim DC.
| Footballguys view: The move came after New York (2-10) blew a 10-point fourth-quarter lead to the Lions in a 34-27 loss that was capped by a 69-yard touchdown run by the Lions' Jahmyr Gibbs on the first play of overtime. Sunday's loss was the fifth time this season that Bowen's defense allowed at least a 10-point lead to slip away, tying an NFL record. The defense was expected to be the strength of the team entering the season, especially with so much invested in the team's defensive line. But instead of a strength, it was a weakness with Bowen calling the shots. |

The reeling Las Vegas Raiders fired offensive coordinator Chip Kelly on Sunday, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter, making the move just 10 games into his first season with the organization.
| Footballguys view: Kelly's firing came after Sunday's 24-10 loss to the Browns, which dropped the Raiders to 2-9 on the season. It's the second shakeup to the staff of first-year coach Pete Carroll this season. The Raiders fired special teams coordinator Tom McMahon on Nov. 7. The Raiders traded for Geno Smith, drafted Ashton Jeanty in the first round, had Brock Bowers returning, made Kelly the NFL's highest-paid coordinator, and their offense has struggled. They have scored fewer than 10 points in four games -- the most in the NFL. We'll have more on this situation when the team announces a replacement. |
Jacksonville Jaguars WR Tim Patrick was targeted four times but did not record a catch in Week 12 against the Arizona Cardinals.

Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield did not play the second half of Sunday night's loss to the Rams with a left shoulder injury. Head coach Todd Bowles had a minor update on Mayfield in his postgame press conference. "Right now he has a shoulder sprain," Bowles said. "He'll get an MRI tomorrow."
| Footballguys view: Backup quarterback Teddy Bridgewater came in and played the second half in relief of Mayfield. He threw his first regular-season passes since the 2022 season. If Mayfield is sidelined for a while, Bowles feels comfortable with Bridgewater behind center. "Very confident in what Teddy can do with a full week of practice," Bowles said, "Taking every snap and every play. We think he'll be fine." The Buccaneers host the Cardinals on Sunday in Week 13. |

Link to storyLos Angeles Rams WR Davante Adams collected five receptions, 62 yards, and two touchdowns in a Week 12 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He was targeted eight times.
| Footballguys view: As USA Today's Cameron DaSilva noted, Adams has had a lot of success in the NFL. He made the playoffs six times with the Packers, was a first-team All-Pro three times, a six-time Pro Bowler, and led the NFL in touchdown catches twice. But this year has been special for the 33-year-old. Not only are the Rams winning with Matthew Stafford leading the way, but he's tops in the NFL with 12 touchdown catches. After the game, Adams told reporters he's never had this much fun playing football. The good times should continue against the Panthers in Week 13. |

| Footballguys view: Stafford is playing at an MVP level and entered the game as a favorite to win the award for the first time in his 17-year career. On Sunday night, Stafford added to his 2025 résumé. According to the Elias Sports Bureau, Stafford has thrown 27 straight passing touchdowns without an interception, the longest streak by any player since play-by-play data was first tracked in 1978. The Rams play the Panthers in Week 13. |
