Now, the trio of defensive end Clelin Ferrell (shoulder), cornerback Damon Arnette (concussion/neck), and safety Johnathan Abram (concussion/knee) are all in doubt for taking the field after missing practice Tuesday due to respective ailments. Las

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Allen Lazard (core) has been a frequent part of the injury report this season as he battles back from a core injury that has limited him to seven games.

New York Jets kicker Sergio Castillo essentially had the writing on the wall for his future with the organization when Chase McLaughlin was claimed off of waivers from the Jaguars on Monday.

Carolina Panthers head coach Matt Rhule said he doesn’t think running back Christian McCaffrey (quadriceps) will play on Saturday against the Packers in Week 15. That could change if McCaffrey is able to practice on Wednesday, but as of right now, Rhule doesn’t expect McCaffrey to be out there this weekend. It’s bad news for those that made it to their fantasy semifinal matchups and

Miami Dolphins wide receiver DeVante Parker (hamstring) suffered a slight hamstring strain in the Week 14 loss to the Chiefs, and his status for Week 15 against the division-rival Patriots is to be determined.

Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin said that offensive guard Matt Feiler (pectoral) was placed on the Injured Reserve on Tuesday after suffering a pectoral injury in the Week 14 loss to the Bills on Sunday night.

Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey (quadriceps) was listed as a limited practice participant in an approximation during the walkthrough on Tuesday.

Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin said that running back James Conner (quadriceps) is dealing with an injured quadriceps muscle heading into the Week 15 game against the Bengals on Monday night.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Ronald Jones II (finger) will have surgery to have a pin placed in his injured pinkie finger on Tuesday.

If Jones is unable to

Philadelphia Eagles right tackle Jack Driscoll (knee) will miss the rest of the 2020 season with a significant MCL sprain in his knee, according to sources.

The Washington Football Team is optimistic about quarterback Alex Smith‘s (calf) chances of starting in Week 15 against the Seahawks, although he’s expected to be limited in practice this week.

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Marquise Brown racked up 50 yards and a touchdown off two catches during the win over Cleveland on Monday night. Although the team continues to rely heavily on utilizing the run, there was still plenty of room for Hollywood to accrue his third touchdown in as many outings.
