Titans TE Treylon Burks (concussion) did not practice on Wednesday. He's not a good bet to be cleared in time for this weekend's game vs. the Jaguars, but we'll continue to track his progress.
Steelers RB Najee Harris (oblique) did not practice on Wednesday. He played through this issue last week, so we're expecting him to be out there for Sunday's game vs. the Ravens. But we'll keep an eye on Harris' status over the next few days.
Ravens QB Lamar Jackson (knee) did not practice on Wednesday, as expected. He's slated to miss 1-3 weeks with his PCL sprain. QB Tyler Huntley will start this weekend's game vs. the Steelers. We'll see if Jackson can make it back for Week 15.
Lions RB D'Andre Swift (ankle) was limited in Wednesday's practice. He was off the injury report last week for the first time since the opener -- and then went out and had his busiest and most productive game since Week 1. We'll see how the rest of the week goes for Swift. We're fully expecting him to play vs. the Vikings on Sunday, but he'll be a riskier fantasy play if he doesn't get in at least 1 full practice.
Texans WR Brandin Cooks (calf) did not practice on Wednesday. He's been sidelined since injuring his calf in practice last Thursday. Fantasy owners shouldn't be counting on Cooks to play vs. the Cowboys this weekend.
Texans WR Nico Collins (foot) did not practice on Wednesday. We don't have any other details on his status. We'll see if Collins is able to get on the field tomorrow, ahead of Sunday's meeting with the Cowboys.
Bengals RB Joe Mixon (concussion) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice. It's his first full practice since going down in Week 11 and puts him on track to return for Sunday's game vs. the Browns.
Bengals TE Hayden Hurst (calf) did not practice on Wednesday. HC Zac Taylor admitted on Monday that Hurst is "doubtful" to play vs. the Browns this weekend. That'll leave Mitchell Wilcox as Cincinnati's lead TE -- and mean more targets for WRs Ja'Marr Chase, Tee Higgins and Tyler Boyd.
Browns TE David Njoku (knee) got in a limited practice on Wednesday. That gives him a shot to return for this weekend's game vs. the Bengals. We'll keep you updated on Njoku's progress over the next few days.
Jets RB Michael Carter (ankle) is not listed on the Week 14 injury report. So he'll be back for Sunday's game vs. the Bills -- and should be at least close to 100%. The question now becomes how touches will be divvied in this backfield. HC Robert Saleh said Wednesday that RB Zonovan Knight is "not going anywhere," so expect him to remain significantly involved. RBs Ty Johnson and/or James Robinson also might continue to mix in. It's a messy situation and a tough matchup this weekend.
Rams QB John Wolford (neck) is questionable for Thursday night's game vs. the Raiders. He got in limited practices on Tuesday and Wednesday. HC Sean McVay said Wednesday that QB Baker Mayfield will likely be active for this one, but we doubt he plays after just joining the team on Tuesday. QB Bryce Perkins figures to get the start if Wolford is out.
Raiders RB Josh Jacobs (quad, calf) was limited in practice all week and is listed as questionable for Thursday night's game vs. the Rams. The quad issue is new, but we've heard nothing to suggest that Jacobs is in any danger of missing this one. We'll get Vegas' inactives around 7 pm ET tomorrow.
Panthers RB D'Onta Foreman (foot) did not practice on Wednesday. He was able to battle through this injury back in Week 12, but it's concerning that he's not practicing coming off the bye. If Foreman isn't able to play vs. the Seahawks on Sunday, Chuba Hubbard would likely step in as Carolina's lead back.
Broncos HC Nathaniel Hackett conceded Wednesday that it's "not looking good" for WR Courtland Sutton (hamstring) to play vs. the Chiefs this weekend. Hackett labeled Sutton "day to day" earlier this week, so perhaps he ends up missing only 1 game. Sutton's absence this weekend boosts WR Jerry Jeudy's fantasy outlook.
Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes told reporters on Wednesday that he suffered a bruised foot in last week's loss to the Bengals. He added that he'll practice on Wednesday and doesn't expect the foot to be an issue vs. the Broncos this weekend. We'll keep an eye on Mahomes over the next few days but aren't adjusting his Week 14 projections.
Surgery on the right knee of Bills EDGE Von Miller this week revealed that he tore the ACL on Thanksgiving against the Lions. Doctors believed the meniscus to be the big issue, as MRI did not reveal the ACL damage. Miller is now obviously out for the rest of this season. We'll see how he fares in getting ready for 2023.
Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence is "day to day" with a left toe injury, HC Doug Pederson said Wednesday. Lawrence won't practice on Wednesday but is "progressing," per Pederson. “We've still got several days before the game," Pederson added. "But he's tough. He'll do everything he can in his power to try to be out there but, we'll just take it day by day." Lawrence was able to play through this injury last week, so we're tentatively expecting him to play vs. the Titans this weekend. But fantasy owners hoping to start Lawrence should line up a backup plan.
Saints RB Mark Ingram suffered a "slight tear" of his MCL in Monday night's loss to the Bucs, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Ingram doesn't need surgery but is expected to be sidelined 4-6 weeks, which likely ends his season. Ingram hasn't been a fantasy option this season, but he's put a slight dent in RB Alvin Kamara's usage. So consider this news a moderate boost to Kamara's rest-of-season outlook.
Texans QB Davis Mills will start Sunday's game vs. the Cowboys, insider Aaron Wilson reports. QB Kyle Allen was a disaster the past 2 weeks, averaging 5.3 yards per pass attempt with 2 TDs vs. 4 INTs. Mills wasn't very good over the first 10 games of the season, but we'd consider him a slight upgrade for the offense.
Browns LB Sione Takitaki suffered a torn ACL in Sunday's win over the Texans. Cleveland on Wednesday placed him on IR and signed veteran LB Reggie Ragland. Tony Fields and Deion Jones worked 3rd and 4th among Cleveland LBs at Houston, trailing Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah and Takitaki. JOK looks like the only 1 worth considering for IDP lineups right now.
