Nelson, jointly appointed by the NFL and NFLPA, upheld Chase’s one-game suspension. Chase appealed his suspension for spitting on Steelers DB Jalen Ramsey during the Bengals’ Week 11 loss. He argued he would have aimed for Ramsey’s face and not the jersey or ground if he meant to spit on Ramsey. Chase’s argument did not appeal to Jordy Nelson and the one-game suspension is upheld. He will miss Week 12 against the Patriots, losing a game check of $507,156 as a result.19 November 2025
Hubbard missed two games due to a calf injury he suffered prior to Week 5. He has not been efficient since returning, losing his lead back role to Rico Dowdle and averaging under 4.0 yards per carry since Week 7. Via Kassidy Hill on the Panthers’ team website, Hubbard said he “maybe rushed it back a little sooner.” The 26-year-old was paid like the team’s lead back at the beginning of the season but the veteran Dowdle has outplayed him as Hubbard deals with his calf injury. For the rest ...18 November 2025
Rice, the son of NFL Hall of Famer and former Seattle Seahawk Jerry Rice, was most recently on the Patriots’ practice squad. The Seahawks add him to their practice squad as depth to the pass-catching corps. The 23-year-old Rice appeared in three NFL games for the Chargers last season, but has not recorded a target on offense. The Seahawks also added RB Velus Jones to the practice squad.18 November 2025
The 2022 fifth-rounder had solid PFF coverage and tackling grades before the Cowboys absolutely lost confidence in him the past two seasons, playing him just 251 snaps between 2024 and 2025. He might find a home on waivers. Still just 25, he should at least find a practice squad spot.

He’ll more than likely be good to go for the Texans on Thursday night. Collins was limited on Monday. He’ll be on the WR1/WR2 borderline against the Bills after being the target on 36 Davis Mills passes over the last three weeks.18 November 2025
He’ll likely be removed from the injury report on Wednesday. Schultz was limited on Monday and has been managed for most of the last three weeks with shoulder soreness. He’ll be in line for a low-end fantasy TE1 role against the Bills on Thursday night.18 November 2025
After missing each of the last two games with a knee injury, Ingram looks likely to go on Thursday night. Ingram has posted back-to-back full practices this week. Tytus Howard (ankle/knee) and Trent Brown (hand/knee) were both limited participants on Monday and Tuesday and also look to be trending towards playing.18 November 2025
His 21-day window was up, so Rodriguez had to be activated today or lost for the season. Rodriguez practiced in full all last week on the injury report and should be a good bet to be active right away in Week 12 for the Lions.18 November 2025
Howard missed the entire preseason thanks to a fractured pinkie finger, so the Steelers probably would like to evaluate him to some extent with the extra time that Aaron Rodgers (wrist) vacates in practice. There’s no indication that Mason Rudolph won’t be the starter in Week 12 if Rodgers is ruled out, but it probably says something about how the Steelers feel about Howard’s long-term projection that there’s discussion about him seeing some first-team reps in practice.18 November 2025
He added that Warren was cleared to return to the game by trainers, but that the Steelers opted not to chance anything. The story here seems to be the Steelers just taking it easy on their best back. We’ll probably see him limited on Wednesday, possibly Thursday as well, but we’re expecting him to play in Week 12 based on everything we’ve seen to this point.18 November 2025
This did seem to the way it was going for most of the week, even with Stroud returning to practice today. The good news is that a return against the Colts in Week 13 seems plausible for Stroud, who has now missed three full games with this concussion suffered against the Broncos in Week 9. Davis Mills will shepherd the Texans through Thursday Night Football against the Bills.18 November 2025
He also did not participate in Monday’s practice for personal reasons. If this were a non-TNF game, we probably wouldn’t post about this, but zero practices two days in to the week is mildly concerning even if Shakir isn’t hurt. It’s at least in the range of outcomes that he misses this game and further throws the Bills receiving corps into chaos in Week 12.18 November 2025
He added, in words that are a dagger to Ashton Jeanty owners: “I don’t really care about pleasing people with our run/pass mix. I’m trying to move the football.” And as bad as Geno Smith has been this year, it’s hard to argue with the fact that Jeanty had nowhere to go on Sunday with just seven yards on his six carries. It’s possible the Raiders will lean into being a pass-first offense down the stretch, something that would be music to the ears of Bowers-reliant managers.18 November 2025
Such a move would involve opening his 21-day window to return from injured reserve. Reed has been on injured reserve since suffering a broken collarbone in Week 2 and apparently also underwent foot surgery to address a Jones fracture. Packers coach Matt LaFleur was less forthcoming about Reed when asked if anyone was coming back this week but “flashed a massive smile while saying, ‘I sure as heck hope so.’” Reed’s return, whenever it officially happens, would probably shake up Green Ba ...18 November 2025
Walker out-snapped Zach Charbonnet on Sunday, playing 43 snaps to Charbonnet’s 36. Over the last three weeks, he has 99 snaps to Charbonnet’s 77. Macdonald’s comments create the possibility that there’s more ceiling to Walker going forward this season, perhaps something closer to 70-30 than 60-40 with Charbonnet. “I think you really felt Ken (Sunday),” Macdonald said. “And just, even in the pass game, too, on check-downs, finding him late in the play. Just shows you that he’s suc ...18 November 2025
So long, Matthew Wright. Fairbairn will regain his spot in the K1 conversation this week as the Texans take on the Bills on Thursday night.18 November 2025
No surprise here after the Monday DNP, Kincaid has not practiced since leaving Week 10’s game against the Dolphins. Perhaps the mini-bye will get him back in the right place, but this is trending towards another DNP and his status for Week 13 should be considered questionable as well at this point.18 November 2025
Neither will Mecole Hardman (calf), and with Buffalo’s wideout depth in trouble for Week 12, it looks like the sort of perfect storm to get Keon Coleman active again for Thursday night.18 November 2025

Rodgers, after breaking his wrist in Week 11 against the Bengals, is “push to play” this week against the Bears, per Pelissero. He will need to approval of team doctors before he gets the green light for Week 12. If Rodgers can’t suit up, Mason Rudolph would get the start against Chicago. Last week against the Bengals, Rudolph completed 12 of 16 passes for 127 yards and a touchdown. Steelers pass catchers would not see a downgrade if Rudolph gets the nod. He should be rostered in most supe ...
