Josh Jobe CB | SEA
Seahawks' Josh Jobe: May not have concussion
Jobe (head) may have avoided a concussion in Sunday's 26-0 win over Minnesota, Curtis Crabtree of Fox 13 Seattle reports.
Jobe exited the game in the fourth quarter after sustaining a significant blow to the head, but head coach Mike Macdonald described the cornerback as "fine" after the contest. Jobe's status at practice will still be worth monitoring in the coming days.

Vikings' Max Brosmer: Picked off four times in shutout
Brosmer completed 19 of 30 pass attempts for 126 yards and four interceptions while losing one yard on his only carry in Sunday's 26-0 loss to Seattle.
The undrafted rookie got the nod under center for the Vikings with both J.J. McCarthy (concussion) and Carson Wentz (shoulder) sidelined for a brutal road matchup against the Seahawks. Brosmer played like a third-string quarterback by committing four turnovers, the first of which was returned for a touchdown in the second quarter. The 24-year-old struggled to develop chemistry with superstar WR Justin Jefferson, completing just two passes for four yards on four looks to his top target. Brosmer did little in Sunday's shutout to generate a potential quarterback controversy once McCarthy is cleared for action. If the latter clears the league's concussion protocol ahead of next Sunday's tilt versus Washington, then Brosmer will surely be sent back to the bench.

Ryan Kelly C | MIN
Vikings' Ryan Kelly: Suffers flexor injury
Kelly suffered a hip flexor injury in Sunday's 26-0 loss to Seattle, Ben Goessling of The Minnesota Star Tribune reports.
Kelly exited the game in the second half with a hip issue, which is now understood to be a flexor problem. The 32-year-old will be reevaluated in the coming days, but if he is forced to miss any action moving forward, Michael Jurgens could stand to operate as the team's starting center.

Dont'e Thornton Jr. WR | LV
Raiders' Dont'e Thornton: Done for day
Thornton (concussion) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's contest against the Chargers.
Thornton took a blow to the head in the second half, and he is now officially done for the day with a concussion. The wide receiver caught one of two targets for 11 yards prior to his departure.

Joey Bosa DE | BUF
Bills' Joey Bosa: Dealing with hamstring injury
Bosa (hamstring) is questionable to return to Sunday's contest against the Steelers.
Bosa appears to have sustained a hamstring injury in the second half of the game, and his status for the rest of the night is now in question. Prior to his departure, the defensive end most notably secured a strip sack of Aaron Rodgers on the first play of the third quarter, a fumble which was returned for a touchdown by cornerback Christian Benford.

Nick Chubb RB | HOU
Texans' Nick Chubb: Rush TD in big win
Chubb rushed nine times for 34 yards and a touchdown and wasn't targeted in the Texans' 20-16 win over the Colts on Sunday.
Chubb once again played a clear second fiddle to Woody Marks (19 carries, one target), but the veteran was able to punch in his third rushing touchdown of the season on a four-yard run with just over five minutes remaining in the second quarter. Marks left the game briefly in the first half due to a foot injury but returned, and Chubb therefore projects to remain in a firm complementary role during a Week 14 road battle against the Chiefs next Sunday night.

Broncos' Talanoa Hufanga: Cleared to play SNF
Hufanga (illness) is active for Sunday night's game against the Commanders.
Hufanga was added to the Broncos' injury report Sunday morning due to an illness, but he has been cleared to play in the night cap after going through pregame warmups. In his first year with the Broncos, the 2021 fifth-rounder has accumulated 76 tackles (44 solo), including 2.0 sacks, nine pass defenses and one forced fumble through 11 regular-season games.

Chris Moore WR | BAL
Commanders' Chris Moore: Active versus Broncos
Moore (illness) will play in Washington's matchup versus Denver on Sunday.
Moore was added to the injury report earlier in the day but will seemingly play through his illness. However, the 32-year-old likely will see limited action, as both Terry McLaurin and Treylon Burks are back in the lineup.

Josh Jobe CB | SEA
Seahawks' Josh Jobe: Being checked for concussion
Jobe is being evaluated for a possible concussion during Sunday's game against the Vikings, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.
Jobe left late in the fourth quarter after taking a large hit. The depth cornerback had just returned from a concussion he suffered in the Seahawks' Week 9 win over the Commanders, so another concussion would be a huge health risk for the 27-year-old.

Dont'e Thornton Jr. WR | LV
Raiders' Dont'e Thornton: Possible concussion
Thornton is being evaluated for a possible concussion and is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Chargers.
Thornton caught one pass (on two targets) for 11 yards before exiting the game, and he is being evaluated by medical staff to determine whether he can return to Sunday's game. Jack Bech and Alex Bachman are slated for more offensive snaps for as long as Thornton is out of the game.
