LAC - QB Philip Rivers in concussion protocol

Source: Chargers.com

Los Angeles Chargers QB Philip Rivers (concussion) is going through the concussion protocol, according to head coach Anthony Lynn.

[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]

This came a bit out of nowhere as Rivers was not examined for a concussion in the game on Sunday. The team has a game at home against Buffalo in Week 11. If Rivers can't go, then we'd see Kellen Clemens as the team's starter.

ATL - RB Devonta Freeman in protocol

Updating a previous report, Atlanta Falcons RB Devonta Freeman (concussion) is in the concussion protocol, according to head coach Dan Quinn. Freeman has not been ruled out for Week 11, however, contrary to previous reports.

[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]

Freeman is banged up and likely to miss the Week 11 game against the Seahawks. We should see Tevin Coleman get the start, and he's got RB1 upside even in a tough matchup. Terron Ward could get a few snaps as the change-of-pace back behind Coleman if Freeman misses the game.

Jacksonville Jaguars WR Allen Hurns (ankle) likely will not play in Week 11 because of the ankle injury he suffered in Week 10, according to head coach Doug Marrone.

[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]
We could see the Jaguars activate rookie WR Dede Westbrook off Injured Reserve this week. Without Hurns, Marqise Lee would take over as the primary target and Westbrook could stretch the field as a big-play option on the other side.

Ribs injuries are painful to deal with, and a return for Fuller in a week or two will all come down to how much pain he can tolerate. While Fuller is down, Bruce Ellington should take over as the receiver opposite DeAndre Hopkins.

Free-agent RBs Ronnie Hillman (Cowboys) and Daryl Richardson (Colts) worked out for the Washington Redskins Monday, Nov. 13, according to a source.

With Rob Kelley (ankle, knee) down, Washington needs help at the position. We'll see Samaje Perine as the lead back and Chris Thompson continue as a valuable (and explosive) change-of-pace back. Hillman and Richardson are kind of the same player....speedy backs who can thrive in space.

Green Bay Packers RB Ty Montgomery (ribs) appears to have a chance to play in the team's Week 11 game, according to head coach Mike McCarthy.

This would change the fantasy value of rookie RB Jamaal Williams. Ribs injuries always come down to pain tolerance. If Montgomery does play, we wouldn't expect him to take on a full workload due to this injury.

Minnesota Vikings QB Case Keenum is expected to start despite QB Teddy Bridgewater being available to return per Jason La Canfora.

Keenum threw four touchdowns on Sunday...but he also threw two interceptions. So long as the Vikings are winning, we don't see them being quick to pull Keenum. In deep leagues that start two QBs (or flex QBs), then hold onto Bridgewater in case he gets his shot.

Baltimore Ravens RB Danny Woodhead (hamstring) will continue to take part in practice, but head coach John Harbaugh said he is not sure if Woodhead will be activated from the Reserve/Injured list this week.

[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]
Woodhead is an interesting stash player in deeper leagues. He's set to return this week of the team feels he's healthy enough, and Woodhead has RB2 or flex value in PPR leagues based on his skill set and his role in the Ravens offense.

DEN - No timetable for QB Paxton Lynch

Denver Broncos QB Paxton Lynch (shoulder) continues to recover from his shoulder ailment and has no time frame for his return, according to head coach Vance Joseph. Lynch has been throwing intermediate passes, but not deep passes.

[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]

The Broncos are not rushing Lynch whatsoever. They aren't winning with Trevor Siemian or Brock Osweiler, but for now the team is staying with Osweiler as the starter. If Lynch gets healthy enough to start, we feel the team moves to him as the starter to see if he can develop. Lynch, a first-round pick in 2016, has been a massive bust to this point in his career.

Washington Redskins RB Rob Kelley (ankle, knee) might be placed on the Reserve/Injured list after suffering a high-ankle sprain and a medial collateral ligament sprain in Week 10. Kelley will at least miss multiple games.

[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]

Fantasy owners need to grab rookie RB Samaje Perine off the waiver wire. The big-bodied rookie will serve as the lead back for Washington while Kelley is out. We'll also see plenty of Chris Thompson as per usual.

Cleveland Browns WR Corey Coleman (hand) will be fully prepared to play in Week 11 against the Jacksonville Jaguars, according to head coach Hue Jackson.

Rookie QB DeShone Kizer gets the team's best WR back this week...but they're facing a fantastic pass defense in the Jaguars. His fantasy potential this week could be stunted by the matchup, but Coleman makes for a fine lottery ticket add with WR2 upside.

CLE - QB DeShone Kizer showing more leadership

Source: ClevelandBrowns.com - Andrew Gribble

Cleveland Browns QB DeShone Kizer appeared to be more vocal with the defense and special teams throughout the Week 10 loss to the Detroit Lions, according to head coach Hue Jackson. The rookie is seemingly embracing his role as a leader.

[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]

He's showing more leadership, and that's a good thing. However, Kizer still has a ton of bad habits that he had from his days in college at Notre Dame. He'll often hold onto the ball too long, lock onto his primary target and will be late throwing the ball. Until we see better anticipation from Kizer, we're not going to be overly excited about his dynasty potential. We'll see how getting top WR Corey Coleman back helps Kizer in the coming weeks.

Ertz missed the team's Week 9 win over the Broncos, and the Eagles had the week off for a bye in Week 10. Ertz had plenty of time to fully recover and should be back in action in Week 11. If he's on the field, Ertz should be in your lineup as a TE1.

Seattle Seahawks RB Chris Carson (leg, ankle) has 'a chance' to return from the Reserve/Injured list sometime in December, according to head coach Pete Carroll.

[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]
Carson broke his leg and had surgery to repair the damage in early October. He's got a small chance to return later in the year, and the Seahawks would consider bringing him back because they aren't having any success running the football. The rookie showed flashes before the injury and is a dynasty prospect we appreciate.

SF - San Francisco undecided about quarterback

Source: NBC Sports Bay Area - Matt Maiocco

San Francisco 49ers Jimmy Garoppolo will remain around the team facility during the club's Week 11 bye in order to learn as much about the offense as possible from head coach Kyle Shanahan, who suggested he does not have a plan yet when it comes to naming a starting quarterback for Week 12 against the Seattle Seahawks.

[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]

Fantasy owners want to see Garoppolo as the starter but coming off their first win of the season the 49ers may not want to make the switch. Garoppolo is still learning the offense -- and the very complex language of the Shanahan system. In start 2-QB leagues (or QB-flex leagues), fantasy owners can hang onto Garoppolo if they have the bench space.

This is consistent with other reports. An MRI confirmed ligament damage in his ankle, and the rookie is done for 2017. Samuel is a dynamic player who can contribute as a big play receiver because of his run-after-the-catch ability. We're holding in dynasty leagues.

PHI - More touches for RB Jay Ajayi?

Philadelphia Eagles RB Jay Ajayi is expected to receive a bigger workload going forward. Offensive coordinator Fran Reich believes that, with two weeks to study the playbook, Ajayi is prepared for anything and everything. 'He's able to handle everything that we give him at this point,' Reich said. 'When I look at our game plan for this week, I look at and there's probably not a play on there that I wouldn't feel comfortable putting his number on.'

[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]

Ajayi is just getting up to speed in the Eagles offense. He was able to contribute against the Broncos in Week 9 and with a bye week in Week 10, Ajayi was likely able to learn more of the playbook. Even though LeGarrette Blount and Corey Clement will get snaps too, it looks like Ajayi could take over as the lead back for the Eagles.

Updating previous reports, Tampa Bay Buccaneers QB Jameis Winston (shoulder) is expected to return this season, regardless of the team's record.

[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]

The Bucs are being cautious with Winston's shoulder. He tried to play with this injury but struggled and didn't look like the QB we expected him to be in 2017. There's at least another week of Ryan Fitzpatrick at the helm for Tampa, and it sounds like there could be more time missed by Winston after that. Fantasy owners don't need to hold onto Winston if you're in need of bench space.

The Seahawks need any help they can get at the RB position. We're not encouraged about Prosise even if he does get back on the field for the Seahawks. His return would have to be during the postseason, however.

Westbrook is an explosive player who can do a lot with a small number of targets. With Allen Hurns (ankle) banged up, the Jaguars need more depth at the position. Marqise Lee now moves up as the top target while Hurns is out, and Westbrook will compete with Keelan Cole for targets behind him.

Now that Bridgewater is healthy enough to play, Keenum has to be on a short leash with the Vikings. They've been winning with Keenum, but he's also thrown some interceptions along the way. So long as they keep winning, Bridgewater is likely staying as a reserve but any sort of slip and we could see him at the top of the depth chart.

Gabbert was making some incredible throws this preseason. I've been ripping him since his mizzou days but I seriously thought he looked impressive the few times I saw him in preseason.

Source: Boston Herald - Jeff Howe

New England Patriots TE Martellus Bennett (hamstring, shoulder) was limited in practice for the second straight day Thursday, Nov. 16.

[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]

There's a lot of confusion about how serious Bennett's injury really is. As it stands it sure doesn't look like he's playing this weekend, although the Patriots could really use another pair of hands for Tom Brady to throw to. If the injury is serious enough to continually keep him off the practice field, one imagines he may not be much help for this passing offense this week even if he plays.

While we will keep an eye on Friday practice, our feeling is that Jones is merely getting rested before a critical game. He should put up WR1 numbers in a bounce-back outing this weekend even against a tough, albiet depleted, Seattle secondary.

That's great news not just for Rivers owners, but those who own pieces of the rest of the offense as well. Rivers is a very good QB2 option this week and has some upside if Buffalo implodes like it did in week 10.

Brock Osweiler does make us hesitant, but seeing that Thomas is a full participant in practice makes us happy. We think he could be a decent option as a mid-range WR2, with upside. The question will be if this Denver offense can find the end zone.

We didn't see anything last week that showed us Osweiler was any more of the answer then he was when Denver let him head to Houston. If you are in a bye week bind, or need a replacement for someone in a two quarterback league, Osweiler could fill that hole. But he is no better than a QB3.

As bad as this passing offense has played, LaFell hasn't helped much. If you are in a bind with a bye week dilemma, LaFell can give you WR6/Flex possibilities. Scour the waiver wire and see if there a better option though.

There's so little value in the Seattle run game, and Lacy doesn't hold any of it. If you have room on your roster, you can hold on to him as a handcuff, but even if he gets another shot we don't expect much given what we've seen this season.

Cleveland Browns RB Duke Johnson (shoulder) fully participated in practice Thursday, Nov. 16.

In order to keep Leonard Fournette off the field, Cleveland is going to run the ball. While we think that Isaiah Crowell should be getting most of the carries, Johnson will get some as well. Crowell will probably get more carries, but Johnson will get a couple more receptions. That helps give Johnson value as a low-end RB3/high-end RB4.

Cleveland Browns RB Isaiah Crowell (shoulder) was limited during practice Thursday, Nov. 16.

[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]

To keep Leonard Fournette off the field, Cleveland is going to want to run the ball. That should basically consist of handing Crowell the ball over and over again. There are a few problems here, though. One would be if Jacksonville gets out to a lead, and Cleveland has to abandon the ground game. Another is the likelihood he will split his carries with Duke Johnson. Because of that we think Crowell is a safe start as a RB3 but no more.

Aside from Week 9 against Oakland, Stills had consistently had about 60 or so yards receiving a game since Week 7.

Collins ranks 10th in the league with 521 rushing yards since making his debut with the team in Week 2, and after the bye week, should be ready to go. His production has been a bit up and down, understandably so given how bad the overall offense has been.

Gabbert was making some incredible throws this preseason. I've been ripping him since his mizzou days but I seriously thought he looked impressive the few times I saw him in preseason. Actually think he gonna play well, imo only reason Stanton was ahead of him is cause Stanton been in system and coaches guy for a long time. I like cards, we shall see.

A lot of Qbs look good in August facing vanilla defenses and backup defensive players. Gabbert even looked good his first couple of games as 49er as he ran for extra yards until he reverted to his normal self. He's fortunate to be facing Tom Savage on the other side and an injury riddled Houston defense.

I get that, I was just speaking of some of the throws he made and his athleticism. Saw him put few in some really tight windows and make few nice plays with his legs. Arians a good teacher and he obviously had enough raw talent to be drafted very high no matter how questionable that decision was. Last I checked the opposing qb has nothing to do with how a qb performs. Houston pass d incredibly vulnerable, don't be surprised if he looks pretty good.

The Chargers announced Rivers was officially cleared by an independent neurologist on Friday afternoon and will play. After self-reporting symptoms on Monday, Rivers quickly advanced through the return-to-play protocol and participated in two days of individual drills without difficulty.

RUNNING BACK

Leonard Fournette | Ankle | Questionable | Game-time Decision

Practice Participation: Wed - Limited | Thurs - Limited | Fri - DNP

The rollercoaster of the unknown with Fournette continues. Fournette rested an injured ankle through the Jaguars' Week 8 bye, was benched in Week 9 for disciplinary reasons (which reportedly included missing treatment sessions on the injured ankle), then aggravated his injury last week. Now after two limited practices on Wednesday and Thursday, the Jaguars held Fournette out of Friday's practice.

Doug Marrone told reporters the team was "being cautious" and "trying to be smart" with Fournette. I'm not sure that explanation holds water. Three weeks ago, caution meant slowly rehabbing Fournette through the week and holding him out of practice in the hopes he would prove himself ready by Friday -- which he didn't. This week, caution apparently means allowing him to work out on Wednesday and Thursday, then resting on Friday. Mike Garafolo tweeted a "sense there isn't a setback here and they're legitimately being cautious" and the Jaguars have not ruled Fournette out yet.

Still, the pieces don't easily fit together here for a positive outcome. We're a month removed from Fournette's original injury. His recovery took longer than may have been expected. He's re-aggravated the injury. The team has already held him out of a game for cautionary reasons. Watch for a weekend report for Ian Rapoport or Adam Schefter but prepare for Fournette to be inactive or limited on Sunday.

***Sunday Update: Both Adam Schefter and Ian Rapoport tweeted overnight that the Jaguars are expected to evaluate Fournette during pregame warmups and decide on his availability. Schefter says the team is "non-committal" about Fournette playing, Rapoport was told Jacksonville was optimistic.

*Eddie Lacy | Groin | Not Listed | Expected to Play

Practice Participation: Thurs - Limited | Fri - Full | Sat - Full

Darren Bevell told reporters earlier this week the team would give Lacy reps in practice throughout the week but wouldn't confirm the running back's return. Lacy then fully practiced on Friday. Full practices haven't been a guarantee an injured player will return for Seattle. We've seen similar lines of participation from C.J. Prosise and Jeremy Lane this season before games in which the team kept them inactive. Pete Carroll has been straightforward with injury information in his press conferences. The Seahawks play Monday night and Carroll's Saturday comments are key. I'll update after Seattle's weekend practice.

***Sunday Update: Lacy fully practiced on Saturday and is not listed on Seattle's game status report. Pete Carroll told reporters Lacy was ready to play.


Terrance West | Calf | Questionable

Practice Participation: Wed - Full | Thurs - Full | Fri - Full

West fully practiced this week and is listed questionable. The Ravens commonly list players they expected to play as questionable and I believe the full week of practice after the Ravens' bye week suggests West is healthy enough to play. However, Alex Collins has cemented himself as the lead back in the base offense and the Ravens have confirmed Collins will continue in that role regardless of the status of West or Danny Woodhead. There are indications the Ravens will activate Woodhead this week, which leaves little change of pace work for West. It's possible West will be a healthy scratch.

***Sunday Update: Ian Rapoport also believes West may be a healthy scratch today.

Danny Woodhead | Hamstring | Not Listed

Not on practice participation or game status report

Woodhead is not on Baltimore's active roster yet and the team does not have to include him in their practice participation or game status reports to the league. John Harbaugh provided no information on Woodhead this week, consistently saying the team was prepared to play with or without him. Multiple beat writers expect Woodhead to be active, however. Woodhead has been back at practice for weeks and has been observed to participate in individual drills for some time. The Ravens must activate Woodhead to the active roster by Saturday afternoon. If they choose to activate him, it's a good sign the team feels he's ready for a sizable role in the game plan. I wouldn't expect more than 3-6 carries but it's possible Woodhead could see 5+ targets.

***Saturday Update: Woodhead was activated today. He will play and should see a reasonable workload on passing downs.


Others of note: Isaiah Crowell (shoulder) and Duke Johnson (shoulder) have practiced, are not listed on the game status report, and are expected to play without limitation. Devonta Freeman (concussion), Aaron Jones (knee), Ty Montgomery (ribs), and Mike Tolbert (hamstring) have been declared out. I'll update return to play expectations on all inactive players in Monday's column.

WIDE RECEIVER

*Julio Jones | Ankle | Not Listed | Expected to Play

Practice Participation: Thurs - DNP | Fri - Limited | Sat - Limited
The Falcons gave Jones a day off on Thursday but there was no suggestion of a significant setback or new injury in his 43 snaps last week. He was back at practice on Friday without concern. Barring a Saturday surprise in practice or the Falcons' media session, Jones should see his usual workload on Monday night. I'll update with any news throughout the weekend.


Sterling Shepard | Migraine | Questionable | Game-time Decision

Practice Participation: Wed - Not Listed | Thurs - Not Listed | Fri - Not Listed

The Giants added Shepard to the game status report with an illness on Saturday. He was listed questionable. No further information was given. Most players added with illness on Saturday see their usual workload on game day. Whether that proves the case with Shepard remains to be seen. The Giants' decision to list him on the injury report means they believe there is a non-zero chance of Shepard missing this week's game. We'll know more overnight and tomorrow morning.

***Sunday Update: According to Ian Rapoport, Shepard has a migraine and may not be able to play. The Giants will evaluate him this morning but may not risk having him on the active roster if his symptoms remain significant.


Alshon Jeffery | Hamstring | Questionable | Expected to Play

Practice Participation: Wed - Not Listed | Thurs - Limited | Fri - Full

Jeffery wasn't included on Philadelphia's injury report until Thursday but Doug Pederson told reporters Jeffery's ankle injury had been lingering for some time. Jeffery also told reporters his ankle would be fine. The Eagles listed him questionable but Jeffery fully practiced on Friday and will play.


Corey Coleman | Hand | Not Listed | Expected to Play

Not Listed on Practice Participation or Game Status Reports

Coleman was returned to the Browns' active roster on Thursday. He was not listed on Friday's injury report and has had multiple full practices over the past two weeks. Hue Jackson cautioned against high expectations for Coleman but told reporters the returning wide receiver would see a full workload. Coleman will likely be wearing a small functional splint as added protection but should not be limited much by his injury. The matchup against the Jacksonville secondary is likely a bigger limiting factor on Coleman's statistical expectation.


Jordan Matthews | Knee | Questionable | Expected to Play

Practice Participation: Wed - Limited | Thurs - Limited | Fri - Limited

Matthews is frequently limited in practice with knee soreness. Including his time in Philadelphia, it's not been significant enough to cause him to miss games. There are no indications this week's soreness is atypical and Matthews can be expected to see his usual workload.

***Sunday Update: Adam Schefter reports the Bills are uncertain whether Matthews will play today. He's expected to be evaluated during pregame.


Kenny Stills | Back | Questionable | Likely to Play

Practice Participation: Wed - Not Listed | Thurs - Limited | Fri - DNP

Stills left practice on Thursday with back spasms and the Dolphins chose treatment over practice on Friday. Adam Gase told reporters Stills was felt better on Friday. Stills told reporters he expects to play. Back spasms are tricky recoveries, however. Ultimately, Stills' availability will depend on how he feels Sunday morning and whether he has any issues during pregame warmup. He'll have the benefit of playing at home in warmer weather.


Brandon LaFell | Hamstring | Questionable | Likely to Play

Practice Participation: Wed - DNP | Thurs - Limited | Fri - Full

In previous weeks, LaFell was rested with knee or hamstring concerns, returned to a full Friday practice, but wasn't listed on the game status report. This week's questionable listing after Friday's practice is a little cause for concern but LaFell is expected to play. I'll watch pregame notes on LaFell for any worries but he's likely to see his usual workload.


Danny Amendola | Knee | Questionable | Expected to Play

Practice Participation: Wed - Limited | Thurs - Limited | Fri - Limited

Amendola is routinely listed on the Patriots' game status report as questionable with a knee injury. He is expected to play. Amendola did not see his snap count or targets increase last week despite the loss of Chris Hogan. That may have had more to do with the game script in Denver as an injury concern.


Dede Westbrook | Core abdominal surgery

The Jaguars activated Westbrook on Saturday and he is expected to play. Westbrook has been practicing for multiple weeks and should be in good conditioning and low risk of compensatory injury. Westbrook himself is confident, jokingly telling reporters he was going for 200 receiving yards on his return. The Jaguars previously said they'd limit Westbrook's role on his return. However, that was before another two weeks of practice and the loss of Allen Hurns to an ankle injury. Westbrook may not see every snap this week but he should be in line for a sizable role.


John Brown | Back | Questionable | Likely to Play

Practice Participation: Wed - Limited | Thurs - DNP | Fri - Limited

Brown played a season-high 68 snaps against Seattle last week. His increased snap count did not translate to increased production and he was limited in practice by a back injury this week. There were no actionable updates on his condition. He returned to a limited Friday practice and has not been ruled out. I'll update with any news this weekend.

***Sunday Update: Adam Schefter is reporting Brown will play today.


Ryan Grant | Concussion | Questionable | Awaiting Information

Practice Participation: Wed - Limited | Thurs - Limited | Fri - Limited

Washington listed Grant questionable after a week of limited practice following last week's concussion. There were no reports on whether he was scheduled to see the independent neurologist or expecting to be cleared.


Others of note: Doug Baldwin (hip), Dez Bryant (knee), Demaryius Thomas (hamstring), Jarvis Landry (chest), Marqise Lee (knee), and Bruce Ellington (ribs) have practiced, are not listed on the game status report, and are expected to play without limitation. Chris Hogan (shoulder), Will Fuller (ribs), and Allen Hurns (ankle) have been declared out. I'll update return to play expectations on all inactive players in Monday's column.

TIGHT END

Charles Clay | Knee | Questionable | Likely to Play

Practice Participation: Wed - DNP | Thurs - Limited | Fri - Limited

Clay returned last week after a long absence with a knee injury. He played only 29 snaps, but that had more to do with the huge deficit the Bills faced than an injury aggravation. The Bills rested LeSean McCoy for similar reasons. Clay looked limited at times and dropped more than one catchable pass. He was targeted more times than the stat line suggests, with two catches nullified by penalty. Clay had a day off on Wednesday then returned to practice. He's expected to play. His target count is tough to project. The switch to Nathan Peterman may not be unfavorable -- unless Buffalo gets blown out early again.

***Sunday Update: Adam Schefter is reporting the Bills are concerned about Clay's status and will re-evaluate him in warmups. Ian Rapoport tweeted Sean McDermott remains optimistic Clay will be active and play.


Martellus Bennett | Shoulder / Hamstring | Questionable | Awaiting Information

Practice Participation: Wed - Limited | Thurs - Limited | Fri - Limited

Bennett played through a rotator cuff injury last week but suffered a hamstring strain of unknown severity. His practice participation is the usual Patriots' three limited listings and the local writers have not offered an opinion on his availability.


Niles Paul | Concussion | Questionable | Awaiting INformation

Practice Participation: Wed - Limited | Thurs - Limited | Fri - Limited

Washington did not comment on Paul's status this week. Generally, players who don't return to a full practice aren't cleared for game day but Paul has not yet been ruled out.


Others of note: Zach Ertz (hamstring), Jimmy Graham (ankle), and Marcedes Lewis (knee) have practiced, are not listed on the game status report, and are expected to play without limitation. Jordan Reed (hamstring), A.J. Derby (shoulder), and Jeff Heuerman (knee) have been declared out. I'll update return to play expectations on all inactive players in Monday's column.

DEFENSIVE PLAYER NOTES

EDGE

Everson Griffen was frustrated he couldn't play last week. This week again sounds positive but watch pregame reports to be certain he's good to go.

Jerry Hughes was limited with lower leg injuries in practice but expected to play.
Dee Ford and Ezekiel Ansah are again out this week.
DEFENSIVE LINE

Cameron Jordan was limited with a back condition late in the week but is not listed on the game status report and expected to play.
Damon Harrison looked likely to miss multiple weeks after requiring assistance to leave the field last week and missing Wednesday practice. But he was back to limited practices at the end of the week and has a chance to play.

Corey Peters and Allen Bailey are out.
LINEBACKER
Sean Lee is out this week and will likely miss the Cowboys' Thanksgiving Day game, too.
A.J. Klein returned to a limited Friday practice but is considered a game-time decision.
B.J. Goodson will miss another game and Keenan Robinson was moved to injured reserve.
DEFENSIVE BACK
Ronald Darby returns for Philadelphia. He was not listed on the final game status report.
Kam Chancellor is likely done for the season with a neck injury.
Morgan Burnett and Andrew Sendejo are out with soft tissue injuries.

Leonard Fournette WILL PLAY for Jaguars.

Leonard Fournette WILL PLAY for Jaguars.

The Jags should roll today .

[LT Profits]

Is Paxton Lynch going to start this week? Denver losing by 10+ points each week has become the new norm.

DEN - QB Trevor Siemian likely to be inactive Source: NFL Network - Ian Rapoport

Denver Broncos QB Trevor Siemian likely will be inactive for the team's Week 11 game with QB Paxton Lynch expected to serve as the No. 2 quarterback.

[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]

He's a team captain and winner of the Broncos QB competition two years in a row...and now he won't have a jersey on Sunday. Things move quickly around here, and Siemian failed to take advantage of the opportunity he earned with the Broncos. He's a backup-caliber QB with a future that is uncertain.

DEN - QB Paxton Lynch expected to be No. 2 QB

Source: NFL Network - Ian Rapoport

Denver Broncos QB Paxton Lynch is expected to serve as the primary backup quarterback for the team's Week 11 game after a good week of practice from a health standpoint.

[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]

We are getting close to the Lynch era in the Mile High City. If the team is out of it (six losses so far this year, one more and they're likely done), then we should see Lynch in the starting lineup. Brock Osweiler gets the start against the Bengals on Sunday.
