The Bears have ruled DL Akiem Hicks (ankle) out for Thursday's game against the Lions. Both starting safeties are questionable. Eddie Jackson (hamstring) remained limited in practice this week after missing the past 2 games. Tashaun Gipson (chest) seems like a surprising inclusion, after the team listed him as a full participant in each practice. DeAndre Houston-Carson and Deon Bush stand by as potential replacements.
The Lions have ruled EDGE Trey Flowers (knee) and CB A.J. Parker (ankle) out for Thursday's game against the Bears. DL Michael Brockers (knee) is questionable after being limited in practice the past 2 days.
The Saints have ruled DE Marcus Davenport out for Thursday night's game against the Bills with a shoulder injury. New Orleans will also miss DE Tanoh Kpassagnon, leaving Carl Granderson as the likely playing-time leader opposite Cameron Jordan on the D-line. Granderson has just 1 sacks and 4 total QB hits on the season and hasn't cracked 40% playing time since Week 2. Jalyn Holmes is the only other healthy true edge player on the current roster. The Saints could struggle to pressure Josh Allen this week, though Jordan and DT David Onyemata stand out in that area.
Ravens QB Lamar Jackson (illness) was a full-go in Wednesday's practice. He's on track to return for Sunday night's game vs. the Browns.
Ravens WR Marquise Brown (thigh) was limited in Wednesday's practice. He was limited last Friday before missing the Bears game, so we're not yet ready to say that Brown will be back for Sunday night's game vs. the Browns. We'll get another update on his status tomorrow.
49ers RB Elijah Mitchell (finger, rib) put in a limited practice on Wednesday -- his 1st official workout since undergoing finger surgery early last week. We're tentatively expecting Mitchell back for Sunday's game vs. the Vikings but will keep you updated on his status.
Packers RB Aaron Jones (knee) was officially limited in Wednesday's practice. He was expected to miss 1-2 weeks with his sprained MCL, so it's possible that he's back for Sunday's game vs. the Rams. It's worth noting, though, that Green Bay has a Week 13 bye, which might factor into the decision on whether to play Jones this weekend.
Titans WR A.J. Brown (chest) did not practice on Wednesday. He's seemingly in danger of missing this weekend's game vs. the Patriots. Check back tomorrow for another update on Brown.
Falcons RB Cordarrelle Patterson (ankle) put in a limited practice on Wednesday. He seemingly had at least an outside chance of playing vs. the Patriots last Thursday night, so a return for this weekend's game vs. the Jaguars seems doable. We'll update Patterson's progress again tomorrow.
Bucs WR Antonio Brown (ankle) did not practice on Wednesday. Fantasy owners shouldn't be counting on him in Week 12 lineups.
Jets WR Corey Davis (groin) was listed as a limited participant in Wednesday's practice. It sounds like he hurt his groin during the workout. We'll see if Davis is able to practice tomorrow. For now, consider him iffy for this weekend's game vs. the Texans.
Saints RB Alvin Kamara (knee) is out for Thursday night's game vs. the Bills. He didn't practice all week. RB Mark Ingram (knee) is listed as questionable after putting in limited practices on Monday and Wednesday. We'll look for updates on his status and get New Orleans' inactives around 7 pm ET on Thursday. If Ingram can't go, Tony Jones would step in as the Saints' lead back.
The Dolphins have claimed RB Phillip Lindsay off waivers. He joins a backfield that has been dominated by Myles Gaskin lately. Claiming Lindsay probably means Miami would rather not give Gaskin quite so many touches. The former Texan and Bronco has faired poorly as a passing-down back throughout his career, though. So Gaskin should continue to control at least that area of Miami's backfield. We'd bet on Gaskin remaining a decent option in low RB2 territory, but his touch floor could be coming down. We'll see just what the Dolphins have in mind for Lindsay. Miami has also recently mixed Duke Johnson in and could get Malcolm Brown back from a quad injury that landed him on IR.
Packers QB Aaron Rodgers told (and showed) the media on Wednesday that he's dealing with a fractured toe. He's admitted that it's an issue but certainly didn't seem bothered by it while throwing for 385 yards and 4 TDs in last week's loss to the Vikings. We'll continue to keep an eye on him but aren't adjusting Rodgers' Week 12 projections. The Packers have a Week 13 bye.
Cowboys WR CeeDee Lamb (concussion) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game vs. the Raiders. He put in a limited practice on Wednesday. Dallas has been surprisingly optimistic about Lamb's chances of getting cleared for this one -- and it looks like he has a shot. We'll continuing looking for updates on Lamb's progress and will get his game status around 3 pm ET on Thursday. If Lamb is active, he should play his usual role.
Packers HC Matt LaFleur said RB Aaron Jones (knee) "will be on the field at practice" Wednesday, per insider Tom Silverstein. We'll see how Jones is listed on the official practice report later today, but it sounds like he has some chance to return for this weekend's game vs. the Rams. Stay tuned.
Giants WRs Sterling Shepard (quad) and Kadarius Toney (quad) did not practice on Wednesday. Shepard missed Monday night's loss to the Bucs, while Toney suffered a quad contusion in the 4th quarter. We'll see if these guys are able to return to practice tomorrow.
The Bears list WR Allen Robinson (hamstring) as doubtful for Thursday's game vs. the Lions. He didn't practice all week and won't play tomorrow. That leaves Darnell Mooney as Chicago's #1 WR and a nice fantasy starter. Marquise Goodwin will be the #2 WR and is in play for DFS tournaments.
Lions QB Jared Goff (oblique) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game vs. the Bears. He was limited in practice all week. HC Dan Campbell said Tuesday that it's "leaning toward" Goff returning for this one. He's not a fantasy option but would be an upgrade over QB Tim Boyle for RB D'Andre Swift and TE T.J. Hockenson.
Bucs WR Mike Evans missed Wednesday's practice with what HC Bruce Arians called back tightness. This will be a situation to monitor leading into Sunday's game vs. the Colts. Check back tomorrow for another update.
