Texans | Houston promotes Jawhar Jordan to active roster Tue Dec 16, 04:37 PM

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.

Denver Broncos RB Sincere McCormick was waived on Tuesday, Dec. 16.

Cardinals | Bam Knight to miss remainder of 2025 Tue Dec 16, 04:10 PM

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.

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.

Footballguys view: Dallas played three games for the Panthers earlier this season. He had one carry for no gain during that stint. 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.

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.

Rams | Davante Adams sitting Tuesday Tue Dec 16, 11:52 AM

Los Angeles Rams WR Davante Adams (hamstring, knee) won't practice Tuesday, Dec. 16, but the team isn't ruling him out for Thursday, Dec. 18, against the Seattle Seahawks.

Footballguys view: Adams aggravated a hamstring injury in Sunday's win over the Lions, and the team listed him as a non-participant on Monday's estimated practice report. Head coach Sean McVay did not rule Adams, who is also listed with a knee issue, out for Thursday night, however, and indications are that the Rams, who have clinched a playoff spot, will wait as long as possible before deciding on his availability. Puka Nacua, Tutu Atwell, Konata Mumpfield, Jordan Whittington, and Xavier Smith are the team's other wideouts.

Commanders | Chris Moore activated Tue Dec 16, 11:21 AM

Washington Commanders WR Chris Moore was signed to the active roster from the practice squad Tuesday, Dec. 16. Free-agent WR River Cracraft (Commanders) and TE Gee Scott (Patriots) were signed to the practice squad.

Footballguys view: Moore was released before the Vikings game to make room on the 53-man roster for Noah Brown, who was placed on IR today. Moore was signed to the practice squad after clearing waivers and is now back on the main roster. Moore had the second-most WR snaps on the team behind Deebo Samuel in an injury-filled season.

Commanders | Noah Brown to IR Tue Dec 16, 11:18 AM

Washington Commanders WR Noah Brown (ribs) was placed on the Reserve/Injured list Tuesday, Dec. 16, which will end his season.

Footballguys view: Brown was able to play just four games in 2025. He suffered an ankle injury early in the season that kept him sidelined until the Week 14 loss to the Vikings. In those four games, he caught five passes for 83 yards.

Jets | Allen Lazard set free Tue Dec 16, 10:28 AM

New York Jets WR Allen Lazard was released Tuesday, Dec. 16, and he hopes to latch on with a playoff team.

Footballguys view: Lazard, who turned 30 last week, has hardly played this season. He has 10 receptions for 70 yards and a touchdown, with a season-high of 16 yards coming in an October loss to the Panthers. He hopes to sign with a playoff team should he clear waivers.

Chiefs | Patrick Mahomes undergoes successful surgery; rehab begins immediately Tue Dec 16, 02:17 AM

Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes underwent successful surgery to repair his torn left ACL on Monday in Dallas, the team announced. Mahomes, who was injured during the Chiefs' loss to the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday, also had a torn LCL repaired during the procedure, NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported. "Patrick Mahomes successfully underwent surgery in Dallas this evening with Dr. Dan Cooper to repair the tear in his left ACL," the Chiefs statement read. "Mahomes will begin his rehab process immediately."

Footballguys view: It's rare for a player to have such a major surgery the day after his injury is sustained. Still, as evidenced by Mahomes beginning his rehab immediately, the three-time Super Bowl winner and Super Bowl MVP is determined to be back on the field as soon as he can in the hopes of starting the 2026 season. While the LCL can complicate recovery, it doesn't necessarily extend his rehab longer than nine months or so. That would be the middle of September or right up against the start of the 2026 season.

Rams | Davante Adams week-to-week Tue Dec 16, 02:16 AM

Los Angeles Rams WR Davante Adams (hamstring) is considered week-to-week because of a hamstring injury, according to sources.

Footballguys view: Adams went down in the fourth quarter Sunday and was unable to return to the game. McVay will provide another update when he addresses the media on Tuesday, likely giving a clearer timeline for Adams' return. Rapoport reported earlier in the day that "the hope is Adams will be able to return for the playoffs. This season, Adams leads the NFL with 14 touchdown receptions. He has 789 yards receiving on 60 receptions. He had played all 14 games before getting injured Sunday, but now stands to miss at least Thursday night's game against the Seahawks.

Bears | Rome Odunze considered week-to-week Tue Dec 16, 02:14 AM

Chicago Bears WR Rome Odunze (foot) is considered week-to-week at this point because of his foot injury, according to a source.

Footballguys view: This report comes after head coach Ben Johnson said "all options are on the table" regarding Odunze's foot injury and whether the team will shut him down for a stretch of time to get him healthy, ready for a potential playoff run. Johnson: "There may be a case that we need to protect him from himself a little bit so he can help us down the road." We'll be watching for more, but assuming he's week to week, it's unlikely to be this week.

Rams | Colby Parkinson showing out in 2025 Tue Dec 16, 02:11 AM

Los Angeles Rams TE Colby Parkinson has six touchdowns in the past six games, including two scores in Week 15 against the Detroit Lions, and he is tied with WR Puka Nacua for second on the team in receiving touchdowns. He is also third in receptions (31), targets (38) and receiving yards (298) behind Nacua and WR Davante Adams. 'It's just been an enjoyable year,' Parkinson said Monday, Dec. 15. 'I really just want the team to do well and to play to the best of my abilities for the team, what that looks like.'

Footballguys view: The second of Parkinson's two touchdowns in Sunday's win over the Lions was his sixth in the past six games, surpassing the veteran tight end's total TDs in his first 5 1/2 NFL seasons. It's worth noting the Rams play the Seattle Seahawks on Thursday night this week, and they've allowed the second-most fantasy points to tight ends this season. As Pro Football Focus suggests, Parkinson should not only be a top target off the waiver wire this week, but he can potentially be inserted straight into fantasy starting lineups.

Steelers | Jonnu Smith scores rare rushing TD Tue Dec 16, 02:11 AM

Seahawks | Tory Horton might return this season Tue Dec 16, 02:10 AM

Seattle Seahawks WR Tory Horton (shin) remains on the Reserve/Injured list, but he could return this season. 'He's got some hurdles he's got to get over,' head coach Mike Macdonald said Monday, Dec. 15. 'We'll wait to see him get over those hurdles. But, if get gets over them, then we can get him back.'

Footballguys view: Horton is eligible to return from injured reserve for Week 16, but it doesn't sound like that's in the cards. We'll be watching for more here, but with Rashid Shaheed finally gaining traction, it's not clear what kind of role the rookie would return to -- if that's what happens.

Steelers | Three receptions for Pat Freiermuth Tue Dec 16, 01:56 AM

Dolphins | Big night for Darren Waller Tue Dec 16, 12:17 AM

Miami Dolphins TE Darren Waller had seven receptions, 66 yards, and a pair of touchdowns in a Week 15 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. He was targeted a game-high eight times.

Footballguys view: As CBSSports.com noted, Waller led the team in receptions and targets, and he was just a yard behind De'Von Achane for the team lead in receiving yards. Waller also was on the receiving end of both of Tua Tagovailoa's touchdown passes, recording six- and 13-yard scoring grabs in the fourth quarter. Waller has been productive and displayed a knack for the end zone on the rare occasions he's been healthy this season, and he'll head into a highly favorable Week 16 home matchup against the Bengals.
