  • Commanders' Austin Seibert: IR placement due to groin injury

    Commanders head coach Dan Quinn said Seibert was placed on injured reserve Tuesday due to a groin injury, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.

    Seibert had missed two straight games with a right hip injury before he returned to action for this past Sunday's 34-26 loss to the Cowboys. After missing three of his five kicks (two extra-point tries, one field goal) on the day, Seibert's placement on IR two days later was believed to be the result of an aggravation of the hip injury, but Quinn clarified that the kicker informed the team Monday he was bothered by a groin issue. Seibert will miss at least four games after being placed on IR, and the Commanders are likely to elevate Zane Gonzalez from the practice squad to handle kicking duties beginning with Sunday's matchup with the Titans.

  • Keon Coleman WR | BUF

    Bills' Keon Coleman: Limited practice on tap

    Head coach Sean McDermott said that Coleman (wrist) will be a limited participant in practice Wednesday, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports.

    Coleman, who last played Week 9, wasn't able to practice in any fashion in either of the ensuing two weeks, but coming out of the Bills' Week 12 bye, the wideout is slated to take some reps. The rookie's limited participation represents a step in the right direction, but he'll need to practice fully by Friday in order to approach Sunday's game against the 49ers without an injury designation.

  • Austin Ekeler RB | WAS

    Commanders' Austin Ekeler: Not ready to practice

    Ekeler (concussion) won't practice Wednesday, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.

    Head coach Dan Quinn confirmed that Ekeler remains in concussion protocol after he suffered a brain injury on a hard tackle during a kickoff return in the final minute of Sunday's 34-26 loss to the Cowboys. While he'll still have two more chances this week to potentially take part in practice, Ekeler doesn't appear to be trending toward playing this Sunday against the Titans. An Ekeler absence this weekend would open more snaps for back running backs Jeremy McNichols and Chris Rodriguez, who could see their roles grow even larger if lead back Brian Robinson (ankle) is also sidelined against the Titans.

  • Dalton Kincaid TE | BUF

    Bills' Dalton Kincaid: Won't practice Wednesday

    Head coach Sean McDermott said that Kincaid (knee) won't practice Wednesday, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports.

    Kincaid missed the Bills' Week 11 win over the Chiefs and is still not practicing following the team's bye week. He has two more chances to get in some on-field work ahead of Sunday's game against the 49ers, but if Kincaid remains sidelined this weekend, Dawson Knox would maintain an expanded role as the Bills' primary option at tight end.

  • Drew Lock QB | NYG

    Giants' Drew Lock: Looks headed for Thanksgiving start

    Lock is expected to serve as the Giants' starting quarterback in Thursday's game against the Cowboys with Tommy DeVito (forearm) listed as questionable but looking like a "longshot" to be available, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

    Following Sunday's 30-7 loss to the Buccaneers, head coach Brian Daboll said that DeVito would retain the starting job if healthy, but the second-year signal-caller has been battling soreness in his right forearm. DeVito was a limited participant in Tuesday's practice session before sitting out Wednesday's walk-through entirely, resulting in Lock taking extra reps with the first-team offense. While DeVito is still scheduled to travel to Dallas later Wednesday once he receives further evaluation, the Giants seem to be preparing for Lock to direct the offense on Thanksgiving Day. Lock has taken just 13 snaps over the course of three appearances this season as a backup behind the since-waived Daniel Jones and DeVito, but Lock has 23 career NFL starts under his belt and should make for a capable fill-in option for the Giants on a short week. However, with all 32 NFL teams set to play this week, Lock likely won't represent much more than a low-end fantasy play in leagues that start two quarterbacks or have a QB flex spot available.

  • Tommy DeVito QB | NYG

    Giants' Tommy DeVito: Looks unlikely to start Thursday

    DeVito (forearm) is listed as questionable but is viewed as a "longshot" to be able to play Thursday against the Cowboys, a source tells Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com.

    Coming out of his first start of the season in Sunday's 30-7 loss to the Buccaneers, DeVito wasn't included on the Giants' initial Week 13 injury report before he was listed as a limited participant in Tuesday's session due to right forearm soreness. DeVito ended up sitting out Wednesday's walk-through practice entirely and is scheduled to receive further evaluation before traveling to Dallas, but at this stage, the expectation is that the second-year signal-caller will be inactive as the emergency No. 3 quarterback on Thanksgiving Day. Drew Lock picked up extra reps with the first-team offense in practice this week and should be in line to start Thursday, with Tim Boyle serving as his top backup.

  • Charlie Kolar TE | BAL

    Ravens' Charlie Kolar: Nursing broken arm

    Kolar suffered a broken arm during Monday's game against the Chargers, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    Kolar was able to finish the game after breaking his arm early in the fourth quarter, but he's understandably expected to miss at least the next four weeks as he recovers. In his absence, Mark Andrews could be asked to take on more blocking duties than he has in recent weeks.

  • Deonte Banks CB | NYG

    Giants' Deonte Banks: Questionable for Thursday

    Banks (ribs) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game at Dallas.

    Banks was limited at practice again Wednesday, so it seems like his availability for Week 13 is close to a coin-flip proposition. If he can't go, it could mean a significant workload is in store for Adoree' Jackson against the pass-happy Cowboys.

  • Tyler Nubin SAF | NYG

    Giants' Tyler Nubin: Will play at Dallas

    Nubin (back) does not carry an injury designation ahead of Thursday's game against the Cowboys.

    Nubin was limited at practice all week by a lingering back issue, but he'll play through it again in Week 13. He projects as a serviceable IDP option in most formats against Dallas' pass-heavy offense.

  • Theo Johnson TE | NYG

    Giants' Theo Johnson: Cleared to play Thanksgiving Day

    Johnson (back) doesn't have an injury designation for Thursday's game against the Cowboys.

    The Giants listed Johnson as a limited participant on practice reports issued Monday through Wednesday, but the team saw enough from the rookie tight end to give him the green light to play Thanksgiving Day. Johnson has seen his involvement in the passing attack gradually pick up as the campaign has unfolded, and he comes into Thursday's contest having accrued a 13-162-1 receiving line on 22 targets over his last four games.
