Lions DL Michael Brockers (knee) is active for today's game against the Bears. He's merely a low-end IDP option, though.
Bears S Eddie Jackson (hamstring) and S Tashaun Gipson are active for today's game against the Lions. It'll be Jackson's 1st action since Week 8, a game he left after just 2 snaps with his injury. Gipson turned up as questionable but practiced in full all week. Jackson's return pushes S DeAndre Houston-Carson back to a reserve role.
Lions QB Jared Goff (oblique) is active for today's game vs. the Bears. He's a bottom-barrel QB2 but an upgrade over QB Tim Boyle for RB D'Andre Swift and TE T.J. Hockenson.
Bears WR Allen Robinson (hamstring) is inactive for today's game vs. the Lions. Darnell Mooney, Marquise Goodwin and Damiere Byrd will operate as Chicago's top 3 WRs.
NFL Network's Ian Rapoport says Saints RB Mark Ingram (knee) "has a chance" to play vs. the Bills tonight but adds, "it's a bit of an uphill battle to play, but no one has ruled him out." It sounds like Ingram might be a bit worse than 50/50 to play tonight. If he joins RB Alvin Kamara on the inactive list, New Orleans will be down to Tony Jones as lead back. Jones would be a borderline RB2 in that scenario.
Cowboys WR CeeDee Lamb is still awaiting full clearance out of the concussion protocol, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport confirms. "It's gonna be awfully tight but still theoretically possible," Rapoport adds. It sounds like we'll need to wait until Dallas' inactives come out around 3 pm ET to find out whether Lamb is playing vs. the Raiders.
Bucs HC Bruce Arians said Wednesday that he's "hopeful" to get WR Antonio Brown (ankle) back for Week 13. “He’s moving around a lot better," Arians said. "He’s able to put more weight on the heel and bounce around on it some. We’ve got our fingers crossed.” Brown will miss Sunday's game vs. the Colts. We'll monitor his progress leading up to Week 13's meeting with the Falcons.
Additional testing on Bears QB Justin Fields' ribs revealed "tiny fractures," according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. The injury is "not deemed major," Rapoport adds, and Fields "should return shortly." The rookie won't play against the Lions on Thanksgiving. We'll see if he can make it back for Week 13 vs. the Cardinals.
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.
