Metcalf and Steelers QB Aaron Rodgers (wrist) both sat out practice on Wednesday. Metcalf’s inactivity was a tad surprising. Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin initially told reporters that Metcalf would be “limited” early in the week. That is all in the rearview now. Metcalf’s full participation puts him on track to face the Bills this weekend. He is a borderline WR2/3.27 November 2025
St. Brown was embracing the Lions’ “no block, no rock” philosophy by attempting to help RB Jahmyr Gibbs pick up yards on a run play. The Packers’ defender stood St. Brown up just before fill-in starting C Trystan Colon and LG Kayode Awosika hit the ground behind him, simultaneously rolling in the back of St. Brown’s legs. Lions trainers were seemingly assessing St. Brown’s right ankle before the broadcast cut to commercial. He headed straight to the locker room once he was on his fee ...27 November 2025
Benson could still get limited work in later on, but Benson appears to be heading toward a DNP today. The Cardinals’ running back logged four straight limited sessions dating back to last week. We were hoping to see him upgrade to full participation today or tomorrow. We will provide an update if the official injury report reveals that Benson did indeed manage to participate.27 November 2025
Monangai was listed as a full participant on Tuesday’s injury report and continued to be listed as a full participant throughout the week. The rookie was removed from the injury report on Thursday, meaning he’ll be good to go against a matchup between 8-3 teams hoping to keep pace with the Rams for the top spot in the NFC. Monangai enters Week 13 with a three-game touchdown streak, but shouldn’t be viewed as anything more than a boom-or-bust RB3 given his low receiving totals and rushing o ...

The Bears also ruled out LBs Ruben Hyppolite (shoulder) and Noah Sewell (elbow) ahead of Friday’s game. Hyppolite is a lightly used backup who has totaled just six tackles this season, while D’Marco Jackson will take over for Edwards and Sewell, who have both been key contributors for the defense when active.27 November 2025
Gibbs is in just his third year with the Lions and will undoubtedly have his fifth-year rookie for the 2027 season exercised this offseason, but the Lions would be smart to secure the 23-year-old back for the long term. Arguably the best dual-threat back in the league, Gibbs has rushed 155 times for 951 yards and 10 touchdowns this season and has caught 48 passes for 379 yards and another three scores. He ripped off a 49-yard touchdown run in Week 12 to put the Lions within three points of the G ...27 November 2025
Jones was a full participant in Thursday’s practice and “looked good,” according to a source familiar with the situation who spoke with Rapoport. This isn’t an injury that’s going to heal in one week, so Jones could try to play through it for multiple weeks. Jones has enjoyed a career revival in Indianapolis this season, throwing for 2,840-17-7 while completing a career-high 69.1 percent of his passes. He gets a tough matchup in Week 13 against the Texans, and shouldn’t be viewed as ...27 November 2025
The offseason trade for Pickens has paid off in a big way for the Cowboys this season. The fourth-year receiver is already in the midst of a career year through 11 games this season, and will fetch a heavy payday, whether it’s from the Cowboys or someone else. Team owner Jerry Jones said earlier this week that the Cowboys have “two number one receivers,” adding further credence to the belief that the team will look to retain its top playmaker this offseason.27 November 2025
Ridder will likely be activated before Week 13’s game against the Seahawks as J.J. McCarthy continues to work his way through concussion protocol. Ridder spent time with the Vikings earlier this season but has not appeared in a game this year.27 November 2025
Key players like Glasgow, Joseph, Paschal, and Wright were all ruled out before Thursday’s game, so this doesn’t come as much of a surprise. The Lions will hope to get most of these players back after some extended rest. The good news, however, is that Terrion Arnold and Penei Sewell will both be active after entering the day as questionable.27 November 2025
Rodgers started the practice week as a DNP. We’ll see if his status changes at all come Thursday, but this isn’t the first time we’ve heard the Steelers expect Rodgers back for Week 13. His status remains one to watch until the team releases its final injury report on Friday, but Rodgers appears to be trending in the right direction by all accounts, despite Wednesday’s DNP.27 November 2025
Johnson and fellow corner Kyler Gordon will both be activated in time for Week 13’s game against the Eagles, giving the Bears two key members of their secondary. Johnson (groin) hasn’t played since Week 2’s game against the Lions, but has totaled six interceptions and 18 pass breakups since 2023. He should provide an immediate boost to a secondary that ranks 21st in yards allowed and 29th in yards per attempt this season.27 November 2025
Gordon has been dealing with a hamstring injury this season and has appeared in just two games as a result. The fourth-year corner will join Jaylon Johnson in returning to the Bears’ secondary ahead of Week 13’s game against the Eagles, and is coming off a 2024 campaign in which he earned his highest PFF coverage grade of 76.0 while allowing just 472 yards and one touchdown on 57 targets while breaking up six passes.27 November 2025
If true, fantasy managers can expect Jacobs to see his full assortment of touches. After missing Week 12’s game against the Vikings, Jacobs will suit up for a Thanksgiving tilt with the Lions, who rank 11th in total rushing yards allowed but sixth in yards per carry allowed (3.9). Despite the Lions profiling as a tough matchup, Jacobs will be a near must-start for those rostering him this week. Backup Emanuel Wilson isn’t expected to have much standalone value, but remains a high-upside stas ...27 November 2025
Moehrig was suspended for punching 49ers WR Jauan Jennings in the groin in the Panthers’ loss to the 49ers on Monday night. He appealed the suspension, but hearing officer Derrick Brooks, jointly appointed by the NFL and NFLPA, denied his appeal and upheld the suspension. Moehrig will now miss Week 13 against the Rams.27 November 2025
Witherspoon was placed on injured reserve after Week 2 with a shoulder injury. He revealed on Wednesday it was a scapula injury and the Rams activated the 30-year-old off injured reserve this week. Witherspoon is trending to play Week 13 against the Panthers.27 November 2025
Horn and LB Claudin Cherelus both did not practice due to concussions suffered in Week 12. It will be a tall task to pass protocol to play in Week 13. Also not practicing was LB Christian Rozeboom (hip/hamstring). The Panthers will enter Week 13 against the Rams banged up defensively.27 November 2025
Zavala suffered the calf injury in Panthers’ Week 12 loss to the 49ers and starts out the week not practicing. Also out was C Cade Mays (ankle). Jake Curhan and Austin Corbett are in line to start for Zavala and Mays, respectively, if neither can play in Week 13.27 November 2025
Rams S Kamren Kinchens (shoulder) also did not practice. Both Young and Kinchens are starters and key contributors to the Rams defense, so losing both would leave the team short-handed against the Panthers in Week 13. They will need to log practice time in order to have a chance at playing on Sunday.
