Former Atlanta Falcons WR Jamal Agnew was claimed off waivers by the Washington Commanders Monday, Dec. 22.
Link to storyBuffalo 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. |

Green Bay Packers TE John FitzPatrick (Achilles) was placed on the Reserve/Injured list Monday, Dec. 22.
| Footballguys view: FitzPatrick caught 12 passes for 72 yards with a touchdown in his 15 appearances with four starts this season. |
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. |

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. |

Los Angeles Chargers RB Kimani Vidal (neck) has been diagnosed with a neck strain and is considered day-to-day, according to a source.
| Footballguys view: Vidal had to exit Sunday's eventual victory over the Cowboys early in the contest. In 12 games with 10 starts this season, Vidal leads the Chargers with 631 yards rushing. He's rushed for three touchdowns and caught 15 passes for 138 yards with a TD. The Chargers used Hassan Haskins to spell Omarion Hampton after Vidal exited the game. Haskins gained 14 yards on four carries. Playing the Texans on Saturday, the Chargers' first injury report of the week is due out on Tuesday. |
New Orleans Saints TE Foster Moreau (ankle) and DT Bryan Bresee (knee) are unlikely to be available for the Week 17 game, according to head coach Kellen Moore.

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. |

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. |

Updating previous reports, Cleveland Browns RB Quinshon Judkins (ankle, leg) suffered a broken fibula and dislocated ankle during the Week 16 game but does not have any damage in his knee, according to head coach Kevin Stefanski.
| Footballguys view: While this is good news, Judkins' injury was still severe enough to require a four-to-five-month recovery after undergoing surgery to repair a dislocated right ankle and fractured fibula, a league source told Cleveland.com's Mary Kay Cabot. That could put him back on the practice field, at least on a limited basis, sometime during the offseason program in the spring. |
Indianapolis Colts practice squad WR Coleman Owen was elevated to the active roster Monday, Dec. 22, and will be available for the Week 16 game.
Link to storyWashington 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. |

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. |

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. |
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. |
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. |

New York Jets QB Brady Cook will start in Week 17 against the New England Patriots.
Link to storyPittsburgh Steelers WR DK Metcalf could be fined or suspended by the league after grabbing a fan during the game Sunday, Dec. 21, and appearing to throw a slap or a punch at him.
| Footballguys view: The CBS broadcast showed Metcalf talking to the fan, who was in a blue wig and hanging over the first-row railing. In an angle of the incident posted on Instagram, Metcalf walked up to the fan, grabbed him by his shirt collar to pull him closer, then forcefully shoved him back. The fan told the Detroit Free Press he called Metcalf by his full name -- DeKaylin Zecharius Metcalf -- prompting the interaction. Because no flag was thrown during the incident, the NFL claims it cannot weigh in on a disqualification, which is why Metcalf could continue playing. Stay tuned. |

Baltimore Ravens QB Lamar Jackson (back) is day to day with a back bruise and is hopeful of playing in Week 17.
| Footballguys view: Jackson spoke to the media after the game and said he was in too much pain to continue, but his goal is to be back on Saturday in Week 17 against the Green Bay Packers. He's scheduled for an MRI today. We'll be following up. |

Before exiting, Bryant had five receptions on eight targets for 42 yards. On the season, he has 27 receptions for 347 yards and a touchdown.
