  • Buccaneers' Jordan Whitehead: Not ruling out 2024 return

    Whitehead does not have surgery scheduled after sustaining a ruptured pectoral during Sunday's game against the Giants, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

    It was feared that Whitehead would have to shut his season down after suffering a serious injury in Week 12, but there's a chance he could return this year if Tampa Bay makes a playoff run. In the meantime, his absence could propel Mike Edwards into a starting role at safety.

  • Brandon Graham DE | PHI

    Eagles' Brandon Graham: Confirmed out for season

    Coach Nick Sirianni said Tuesday that Graham (triceps) is out for the remainder of the season, Brooks Kubena of The Athletic reports.

    As suspected, Graham will soon be sent to injured reserve for the rest of the year after suffering a torn triceps during Sunday's game against the Rams. His absence means 2023 first-rounder Nolan Smith projects to start on the edge for the rest of 2024.

  • Tommy DeVito QB | NYG

    Giants' Tommy DeVito: Tending to forearm injury

    Giants head coach Brian Daboll said that DeVito will be a limited participant in Tuesday's practice due to a sore right forearm, Charlotte Carroll of The Athletic reports.

    DeVito was curiously left off the injury report Monday, despite Daboll noting that the quarterback was banged up coming out of his first start of the season in this past Sunday's 30-7 loss to the Buccaneers. However, just one day later, DeVito was added to the report due to the injury to his throwing arm, with Daboll acknowledging that the second-year signal-caller is "not 100 percent" certain to play Thursday versus Dallas, per Ryan Dunleavy of the New York Post. Drew Lock will take extra reps during Tuesday's practice and would draw the Thanksgiving Day starting nod if DeVito isn't cleared to play in Dallas.

  • Stanley Morgan WR | TEN

    Stanley Morgan: Joins Titans' practice squad

    Tennessee signed Morgan to its practice squad Tuesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    Morgan was cut by New Orleans prior to Week 1, but now he's found a new opportunity with a different team. It might take an injury for him to be elevated to the active roster before the end of the season, though.

  • Rams' Demarcus Robinson: Status for Week 13 uncertain

    Head coach Sean McVay said that Rams are still gathering more information following Robinson's arrest Monday, and a decision hasn't been made regarding whether the receiver will play Sunday in New Orleans, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.

    Robinson was arrested Monday at approximately 5:13 a.m. in Woodland Hills, Calif. on suspicion of driving under the influence after he was stopped when he was observed driving on a highway at speeds exceeding 100 miles per hour. McVay said Tuesday that he has spoken to Robinson following his arrest, but the Rams aren't yet willing to commit to the veteran wideout being available for Week 13. The 30-year-old has suited up in each of the Rams' 11 games thus far, recording 26 catches for 384 yards and six touchdowns on 50 targets. His potential absence this Sunday would free up more opportunities for Tyler Johnson and Tutu Atwell behind top receivers Cooper Kupp and Puka Nacua.

  • Patriots' Jabrill Peppers: Expects to return to practice

    Coach Jerod Mayo said Tuesday that he anticipates Peppers will practice during the week after being removed from the commissioner's exempt list, Chad Graff of The Athletic reports.

    The issue that led to Peppers' arrest and placement on the commissioner's exempt list back in October is still the subject of a league inquiry, but it looks like he'll have the okay to practice ahead of Week 13. Whether he'll play versus the Colts is still up in the air.

  • Tyler Higbee TE | LAR

    Rams' Tyler Higbee: Likely to practice this week

    Rams head coach Sean McVay said Higbee (knee) is likely to resume practicing this week, but the tight end is unlikely to play in Sunday's game at New Orleans, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.

    Los Angeles is expected to formally open Higbee's 21-day evaluation window Wednesday, when the team begins Week 13 prep. Higbee has been on the PUP list since late August after he suffered an ACL and MCL tear in his right knee in a Jan. 14 playoff loss to the Lions. After a lengthy recovery from surgery, the 31-year-old is finally ready to take reps in practice, but he could require a multi-week ramp-up period before he's deemed ready for game action. Once he's added back to the 53-man roster, Higbee will likely take over as the Rams' starting tight end, though he could be deployed in a timeshare with Colby Parkinson and Davis Allen as the coaching staff looks to keep Higbee's snap counts in check coming off the major knee injury.

  • Packers' Chris Brooks: Finishes with five touches

    Brooks had four carries for 11 yards and one reception for 15 yards in Sunday's 38-10 victory over the 49ers.

    Brooks finished second among Packers running backs in snaps for the fourth time in as many chances, but he was the third Green Bay running back to get a touch in Week 12, and he finished with five touches compared to Emanuel Wilson's nine. Both running backs figure to continue working in behind starter Josh Jacobs, who is handling the lion's share of the work in Green Bay's backfield.

  • Malik Heath WR | GB

    Packers' Malik Heath: Hauls in touchdown pass

    Heath was targeted twice and had two receptions for 15 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 38-10 victory over the 49ers.

    Heath capitalized on the lopsided score and the departure of Romeo Doubs (concussion) in the third quarter to record both his first reception since Week 5 and his first touchdown of the season. He will bump up the pecking order if Doubs is unable to play Thursday against the Dolphins, but even in that scenario he would be facing a stingy pass defense as the fifth option at his position.

  • Ravens' Justin Tucker: Makes lone field-goal try Monday

    Tucker made his only field-goal attempt and converted all three of his extra-point tries during Monday's 30-23 win against the Chargers.

    Not much could stop the Ravens from finding the end zone in Week 12, resulting in a relatively quiet day for their kicker. Tucker did avoid missing a kick Monday after doing so in three of Baltimore's previous four contests, however. He'll perhaps see more chances in Week 13 versus the Eagles.
