Giants DE Leonard Williams left Sunday's loss to the Chargers with a right elbow injury. We'll see about his status heading into next Sunday's home date with Dallas.
Texans S Justin Reid left Sunday's loss to the Seahawks with a concussion, HC David Culley confirmed after the game. CB Desmond King left the game for the same reason, but Culley said afterward that King did not actually sustain a concussion. So he should be ready for next Sunday's game at Jacksonville. Reid will need to pass through the league protocol before returning.
Texans LB Kamu Grugier-Hill left Sunday's game on a cart after suffering a right knee injury in the loss to the Seahawks. Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports that early tests reveal a sprain, though, rather than a more severe injury as initially feared. That would likely mean further missed time for Grugier-Hill but isn't believed to be season-ending. We'll see about his official return timeline. LB Neville Hewitt saw elevated playing time in Grugier-Hill's absence and figures to start in his place going forward. The team, of course, waived LB Zach Cunningham, who is now with the Titans.
Lions MLB Alex Anzalone left Sunday's loss to the Broncos in the 1st half with an ankle injury. In his absence, Josh Woods led Detroit LBs in playing time at 94% and racked up a game-high 13 tackles. Rookie Derrick Barnes followed at 69%, with LB Jalen Reeves-Maybin inactive.
Broncos LB Kenny Young left Sunday's win over the Lions with a concussion. He'll need to pass through the league protocol before returning to action. DE Shelby Harris left the game with a knee injury. He had been questionable to play with the same issue.
Bengals DE Trey Hendrickson left Sunday's loss to the 49ers late in the 1st half with a back injury. We'll see about the severity of the injury.
A source tells insider Mary Kay Cabot that Browns RB Kareem Hunt could have returned from his ankle injury if needed in Sunday's win over the Ravens. That suggests that Hunt should be available for this coming Saturday's game vs. the Raiders. We'll track his practice participation this week.
Chargers HC Brandon Staley expects to get WR Keenan Allen back from the COVID list for Thursday night's game vs. the Chiefs, "barring a setback." We'll keep an eye on the situation. WRs Josh Palmer and Jalen Guyton played well in Allen's absence in the win over the Giants, but Allen's return would obviously be good news for QB Justin Herbert.
Bills QB Josh Allen will get an MRI on his left foot and ankle on Monday, ESPN's Chris Mortensen reports. Allen appeared to injure that foot late in Sunday's loss to the Bucs. He didn't miss any snaps but looked a bit hobbled. We should get an update on his status on Monday. "The Bills are hopeful but expect Mitchell Trubisky to get some reps in practice," Mortensen adds.
Browns RB Kareem Hunt injured his left ankle in the 1st quarter of Sunday's game vs. Baltimore and did not return. We'll look for an update on his status.
Bills WR Emmanuel Sanders injured his knee in the 1st half of Sunday's game vs. the Bucs and was ruled out at halftime. His absence should turn WR Gabriel Davis into a near every-down player.
Chargers RB Austin Ekeler injured his left ankle in the 3rd quarter of Sunday's game vs. the Giants. He got it taped and was testing it on the sidelines. We'll see if Ekeler is able to re-enter, but the Chargers are up 30 to 7.
Update: Ekeler is officially questionable to return with an ankle injury.
The Ravens believe QB Lamar Jackson is dealing with a low-ankle sprain, according to ESPN's Dianna Russini. Jackson is expected to undergo testing on the ankle on Monday. A low sprain would be better than high but could still cost Jackson time. We should learn more tomorrow.
Panthers HC Matt Rhule said after Sunday's game against the Falcons that QB Cam Newton is still his starter. Newton was benched on 2 separate occasions in the loss. He threw an INT and lost a fumble, although he did run for 47 yards and a score. QB P.J. Walker wasn't any better, completing just 6 of 12 passes with 1 TD and 1 INT. Newton will be tough to trust in Week 15 fantasy lineups with the Panthers so willing to give him the hook.
Washington QB Taylor Heinicke suffered a knee injury in the 4th quarter of Sunday's game vs. the Cowboys and is officially questionable to return. QB Kyle Allen has replaced Heinicke. Stay tuned for an update.
Buccaneers CB Jamel Dean (concussion) and DE William Gholston (wrist, knee) are active for today's game against the Bills.
Bengals CB Chidobe Awuzie (foot) is active for today's game against the 49ers.
Washington WR Terry McLaurin has been ruled out of Sunday's game vs. the Cowboys with a concussion. It's his 2nd documented concussion. We'll track his progress through the protocol this coming week.
Bills RB Zack Moss is a healthy scratch for today's game vs. the Bucs. It's not a surprise with the power running game unlikely to be a big part of Buffalo's game plan today. Devin Singletary and Matt Breida will handle backfield duties for the Bills, but neither is a good fantasy bet.
49ers WR Deebo Samuel (groin) is active for today’s game vs. the Bengals. He only got in a limited practice on Friday after missing last week’s game, so he obviously comes with elevated risk in fantasy lineups. But we also haven’t heard anything about Samuel being limited today. There’s still WR1 upside here.
