PHI - QB Carson Wentz's season over
Source: ESPN - Adam Schefter
Updating previous reports, Philadelphia Eagles QB Carson Wentz (knee) suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament after an MRI Monday, Dec. 11, confirmed the injury.
[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]
Terrible news for the Eagles here. They'll turn to Nick Foles as the starter for the rest of the regular season and into the postseason. Next training camp, Wentz should begin on the PUP list as he'll need 9-12 months to fully recover from this injury. Reports indicate Wentz will have surgery at some point this week.

TEN - QB Marcus Mariota could be limited

Tennessee Titans QB Marcus Mariota (knee) may be limited in practice this week with his knee injury, according to head coach Mike Mularkey.
[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]
Mariota doesn't look quite like himself. This knee injury needs rest and time to get right...but the Titans are in a playoff hunt. They'll manage Mariota's knee injury as much as possible. That could lead to him missing days of practice or being limited on most days as the team prepares for their weekly contest.

BUF - QB Tyrod Taylor to remain the starter
Source: The Buffalo News - Jay Skurski
Buffalo Bills QB Tyrod Taylor (knee) was held out of action in Week 14 based 'mostly' on how he was feeling, according to head coach Sean McDermott, who also stated Taylor will be the starting quarterback when he is healthy again.
[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]
McDermott has said this before, so this news comes as no surprise. Taylor missed the snow bowl against the Colts on Sunday, and starter Nate Peterman was banged up. If Taylor isn't ready and Peterman (concussion) is out, that makes Joe Webb the top option. We'll get more information about Taylor's status later in the week.

Houston Texans QB T.J. Yates is likely to start in Week 15 in place of QB Tom Savage (concussion), according to head coach Bill O'Brien.

Yates came in for Tom Savage on Sunday against the 49ers and threw for 175 yards and two touchdowns in the loss. This upcoming game against the Jaguars should prove to be much more difficult for Yates and the Texans passing game.

NFL - WR Kenny Britt not claimed

Former Cleveland Browns WR Kenny Britt is an unrestricted free agent after he went unclaimed on waivers.
[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]
There was $942K left on Britt's deal so it's not a surprise that no team wanted to take on the rest of his contract. Now that he's free and clear, we'd imagine a few teams interested in Britt. He wants to play for a contender, and this just seems like a guy a team like the Patriots would take a chance on. Stay tuned.

IND - RB Frank Gore takes part in practice

Indianapolis Colts RB Frank Gore (hand) fully participated in practice Monday, Dec. 11.
[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]
Gore and the Colts have a short week as they play at home against the Broncos on Thursday night. The fact that he's fully participating is a good sign for Gore's availability. The Broncos defense has been up and down this year, so Gore should be considered a RB3 or flex play for fantasy owners in Week 15.
