Link to story Packers | Jordan Love in concussion protocol Mon Dec 22, 10:53 AM
Green Bay Packers QB Jordan Love (concussion) is in concussion protocol following Week 16.
| Footballguys view: Love left Chicago in the protocol because he had taken a helmet-to-helmet hit in the second quarter Saturday. Love must pass through the five-step protocol that requires increasing activity, followed by baseline testing, with each step along the way. He must remain asymptomatic throughout. We'll be watching for more on this, and on his backup, Malik Willis, who is dealing with a minor shoulder issue. The Packers play the Ravens on Saturday. |

Browns | Quinshon Judkins facing 4-5 month recovery time Mon Dec 22, 10:36 AM
Browns rookie running back Quinshon Judkins should be back on the practice field in about 4-5 months after undergoing surgery to repair a dislocated right ankle and fractured fibula, a league source told Cleveland.com's Mary Kay Cabot.
| Footballguys view: That could put him back on the practice field, at least on a limited basis, sometime during the offseason program in the spring. Judkins, the Browns' No. 36 pick in the second round out of Ohio State, suffered the injury with 1:47 left in the half of Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Bills on a hit by linebacker Matt Milano. Raheim Sanders replaced Judkins and could get a lot of work against the Steelers this week, although Dylan Sampson, who's missed two games with a hand injury, is also worth monitoring. |

Steelers | DK Metcalf facing discipline Mon Dec 22, 09:55 AM
Pittsburgh Steelers WR DK Metcalf could be fined or suspended by the league after grabbing a fan during the game Sunday, Dec. 21, and appearing to throw a slap or a punch at him.
| Footballguys view: The CBS broadcast showed Metcalf talking to the fan, who was in a blue wig and hanging over the first-row railing. In an angle of the incident posted on Instagram, Metcalf walked up to the fan, grabbed him by his shirt collar to pull him closer, then forcefully shoved him back. The fan told the Detroit Free Press he called Metcalf by his full name -- DeKaylin Zecharius Metcalf -- prompting the interaction. Because no flag was thrown during the incident, the NFL claims it cannot weigh in on a disqualification, which is why Metcalf could continue playing. Stay tuned. |

Ravens | Harbaugh not sure about Lamar Jackson's Week 17 availability Mon Dec 22, 02:29 AM
Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson suffered a bruise to his back late in the second quarter of Baltimore's 28-24 loss to New England, head coach John Harbaugh told reporters in his postgame press conference. It's unclear how that will affect Jackson's availability going forward. "I really don't have a word on it now," Harbaugh said. "It's just early. Haven't gotten anything definitive from the trainers or doctors yet. I don't know. Probably [will] know more tomorrow or the next day."
| Footballguys view: Jackson was injured on a designed run with two minutes left in the second quarter, rushing for 3 yards. Replay showed he took a knee to the back. He was sent to the locker room early, with the NBC broadcast showing him clearly frustrated by the injury as he walked up for further examination. Jackson was 7-of-10 passing for 101 yards with no touchdowns and no interceptions. He also had two carries for 7 yards. Tyler Huntley, who finished the game at QB, was 9-of-10 for 65 yards and had a pair of carries for 2 yards. |

Patriots | TreVeyon Henderson's Week 17 status unclear Mon Dec 22, 01:34 AM
New England Patriots running back TreVeyon Henderson was injured in the second quarter of his team's Week 16 game against the Baltimore Ravens. The Patriots announced Henderson had been ruled out of Sunday's game because of a head injury. Patriots coach Mike Vrabel did not provide an update about Henderson's status moving forward following Sunday's game.
| Footballguys view: Henderson's injury occurred after he was tackled following a 1-yard gain. Henderson originally got up and tried to return to the huddle. However, he eventually went to the ground, and New England's medical staff came onto the field to tend to him. Henderson was able to walk off under his own power and was taken to the blue medical tent for further evaluation. The talented rookie was initially deemed "questionable" to return in the first half but was declared out just after halftime. Rhamondre Stevenson would stand to gain if Henderson isn't available against the Jets in Week 17. |

Before exiting, Bryant had five receptions on eight targets for 42 yards. On the season, he has 27 receptions for 347 yards and a touchdown.

Patriots | Drake Maye throws for 380 in win Mon Dec 22, 12:03 AM
New England Patriots QB Drake Maye completed 31 of his 44 passes for a career-high 380 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception in a Week 16 win over the Baltimore Ravens. Maye also ran the ball 10 times for 25 yards.
| Footballguys view: As ESPN.com's Mike Reiss noted, the Patriots were one-dimensional on offense, favoring the pass, and Maye recorded his first career 300-yard passing game despite facing heavy pressure. But Maye had two turnovers -- an interception that ended the team's first drive, when WR Kayshon Boutte wasn't competitive at the top of the route, and a lost fumble that cost the team a chance at a field goal before halftime. Still, Maye did nothing to tarnish his standing as a front-line fantasy starter, as he sat at QB6 overall through Sunday night's games. The Patriots play the Jets on Sunday. |
