Raiders | Gardner Minshew to remain starter Mon Nov 18, 02:16 PM
Las Vegas Raiders QB Gardner Minshew will remain the team's starter in Week 12, head coach Antonio Pierce said on Monday, Nov. 18.
| Footballguys view: Minshew was 30-of-43 for 282 yards, two touchdowns, and an interception in Sunday's 34-19 loss to the Dolphins. Pierce said the passing offense was "more efficient" and "more crisp" in Scott Turner's first week calling the offensive plays. Minshew opened the season as the starter but was benched in favor of Aidan O'Connell. Minshew moved back into the No. 1 job after O'Connell injured his thumb, and O'Connell won't be eligible to come off injured reserve for another week. The Raiders host the Broncos on Sunday. So, it will be a tough matchup. |

Cowboys | Dak Prescott placed on IR Mon Nov 18, 02:09 PM
Dallas Cowboys QB Dak Prescott (hamstring) was placed on injured reserve on Monday, Nov. 18. Also, CB Josh Butler was promoted from the practice squad to the active roster and CB Kemon Hall and TE Princeton Fant were elevated from the practice squad for Week 11.
| Footballguys view: The All-Pro quarterback underwent surgery to repair a partially torn hamstring this week. Cooper Rush will continue as the starter, at least for now, with Trey Lance standing by as needed. Prescott should be recovered in plenty of time to participate in the team's offseason program next year. |

Panthers | Adam Thielen expected to play Mon Nov 18, 01:55 PM
Carolina Panthers WR Adam Thielen (hamstring) is expected to return from injured reserve this week, head coach Dave Canales said on Monday, Nov. 18.
| Footballguys view: Although Thielen was spotted working off to the side during Monday's practice, the expectation is he'll be available against the Chiefs in Week 12. He has been on the injured reserve list since Week 3 when he suffered a significant hamstring injury while catching a touchdown against the Las Vegas Raiders. Thielen should be at the top of a wide receiver room with Xavier Legette and Jalen Coker now that Diontae Johnson is out of the picture. |

Panthers | Miles Sanders is week-to-week Mon Nov 18, 01:54 PM
Carolina Panthers RB Miles Sanders (ankle) is considered week-to-week due to an unspecified ankle injury, head coach Dave Canales said on Monday, Nov. 18.
| Footballguys view: Sanders suffered a leg injury against the New York Giants in Munich. Head coach Dave Canales says that Sanders is considered week-to-week, but he does not expect him to play against the Chiefs. With rookie Jonathon Brooks scheduled to return to work behind Chuba Hubbard, Sanders' presence might be addition by subtraction. |

Jaguars | Gabe Davis out for season Mon Nov 18, 01:47 PM
Updating previous reports, Jacksonville Jaguars WR Gabe Davis (knee) will miss the rest of the season due to a torn meniscus, head coach Doug Pederson confirmed on Monday, Nov. 18.
| Footballguys view: It leaves an already-depleted receiving corps even further depleted. Jacksonville already lost Christian Kirk to a broken collarbone that sent him to season-ending injured reserve list. With Davis' injury, the offense will fall on the shoulders of rookie standout Brian Thomas Jr., Parker Washington, and tight ends Evan Engram and Brenton Strange. |

Cowboys | CeeDee Lamb expected to play Mon Nov 18, 12:35 PM
Dallas Cowboys WR CeeDee Lamb (back) is expected to play in Week 11, per source on Monday, Nov. 18.
| Footballguys view: NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reported during Sunday's Pregame show that Lamb was bothered by back spasms on Saturday, leading to his addition to the injury report as questionable. Again, all indications are Lamb will play against the Texans tonight. Also, smart fantasy managers will have a backup plan in place in case they need to pivot. |

Panthers | Bryce Young remains the starter Mon Nov 18, 12:26 PM
Carolina Panthers QB Bryce Young will remain the starter in Week 12 but the situation remains fluid on a weekly basis, head coach Dave Canales said on Monday, Nov. 18.
| Footballguys view: Young won his last two starts before the bye week to help the Panthers (3-7) to consecutive wins for the first time since 2022. "This is about the continued progress; Bryce is looking more and more confident," Canales said Monday as the team returned from its bye week. Young led the Panthers to a 20-17 overtime win against the New York Giants in Munich, Germany, and a 23-22 victory against the New Orleans Saints in his last two starts. The top pick of the 2023 draft is 2-3 this season and 4-17 for his career. He was benched in favor of Andy Dalton after an 0-2 start but got the job back after Dalton suffered a thumb injury in a minor car accident. The Panthers will host the Chiefs (9-1) this Sunday. Kansas City is coming off their first loss of the season, a 30-21 setback to the Buffalo Bills on Sunday. |

Bengals | Terrible news for DJ Turner Mon Nov 18, 12:20 PM
Cincinnati Bengals CB DJ Turner II (clavicle) is feared to have suffered a fractured clavicle during the Week 11 game on Sunday, Nov. 17, per sources, and is likely to miss the rest of the season.
| Footballguys view: Turner is getting a second opinion, but there's little optimism about a return this year. The Bengals are 4-7 and heading into their bye week before hosting the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 13. |
Panthers | Jonathon Brooks expected to make debut Mon Nov 18, 12:18 PM
Carolina Panthers RB Jonathon Brooks (knee) is expected to make his debut in Week 12, head coach Dave Canales told reporters on Monday, Nov. 18.
| Footballguys view: Canales said he doesn't expect running back Miles Sanders to play. Brooks spent the first half of his rookie season rehabbing from ACL surgery last November at the University of Texas. He will team with Chuba Hubbard, who is fourth in the NFL in rushing with 818 yards. Despite being in last place in the NFC South, Carolina finds itself only 2½-games behind the division-leading Atlanta Falcons (6-5). The Panthers host the Chiefs in Week 12. |
Buccaneers | Mike Evans On The Practice Field Monday Mon Nov 18, 12:18 PM
Bucs wide receiver Mike Evans took the field Monday morning for a bonus practice.
| Footballguys view: According to ESPN.com's Jenna Lane, Evans, who has been sidelined since injuring his hamstring in Week 7, said he could have tried to push it for Week 10 against the 49ers, but Week 12 after the bye has always been his target. Evans scored six touchdowns in seven games before suffering the injury, and it's safe to say the loss of Chris Godwin, who suffered a season-ending ankle injury in Week 7, and Evans over the last month has been challenging to overcome for the team's offense. The Buccaneers play the Giants in Week 12. |

Panthers | Ian Thoms placed on IR Mon Nov 18, 12:08 PM
Carolina Panthers TE Ian Thomas (calf) was placed on injured reserve on Monday, Nov. 18. Also, CB Caleb Farley was promoted from the practice squad to the active roster.
| Footballguys view: Thomas suffered a calf injury during the team's Week 10 victory over the Giants in Germany. Thomas also missed several games earlier in the year. He's appeared in five contests with two starts in 2024, catching three passes for 7 yards while playing 94 offensive snaps and nine special teams snaps. Rookie Ja'Tavion Sanders has emerged as the Panthers' primary receiving tight end. |

Falcons | Report: Darnell Mooney's Hamstring Injury Isn't Serious Mon Nov 18, 11:20 AM
The early prognosis is Falcons WR Darnell Mooney's hamstring injury from Sunday is not serious, a source tells ESPN's Jeremy Fowler.
| Footballguys view: Mooney did not return to Sunday's lopsided loss to the Denver Broncos after he was hurt. Mooney downplayed the injury after the game. "I'll be fine. My right leg was giving out on me a little bit," he said. "I'll be fine, though." Fowler's report lends credence to that. Either way, Mooney will have the Week 12 bye to recover. We'll follow up as needed. |

Jaguars | Gabe Davis Believed To Have A Meniscus Tear Mon Nov 18, 10:30 AM
Jaguars standout WR Gabe Davis is believed to have suffered a meniscus tear on Sunday, per NFL Network's Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero.
| Footballguys view: They are still assessing the injury, but Davis is expected to have surgery. During the procedure, doctors will determine if it's a full repair or just a trim. A full meniscus repair, often the option chosen, would knock Davis out for the season but is usually best for long-term health. A meniscus trim would likely land Davis on IR, but he could return this season. We'll follow up as needed. |

Giants | Tommy DeVito taking the reins Mon Nov 18, 09:30 AM
New York Giants QB Daniel Jones is expected to be replaced by QB Tommy DeVito in Week 12.
| Footballguys view: The benching of Jones starts the process of the last-place Giants moving on from the quarterback they signed to a four-year, $160 million deal less than two years ago. DeVito will start in Jones' place beginning Sunday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at MetLife Stadium. The Giants (2-8) are coming off their bye week and have veteran Drew Lock, who has served as Jones' backup for every game this season. DeVito averaged 25 pass attempts in six starts last season, and Darius Slayton led the team with 15 receptions for 196 yards and a touchdown over that span. We'll have more on this as the week progresses. |

Giants | Daniel Jones Benched As Giants Look To The Future Mon Nov 18, 09:29 AM
The New York Giants have benched the struggling Daniel Jones and are expected to name Tommy DeVito as their new starting quarterback, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter.
| Footballguys view: The benching of Jones starts the process of the last-place Giants moving on from the quarterback they signed to a four-year, $160 million deal less than two years ago. Jones has struggled since winning a playoff game after the 2022 season and signing his contract in March 2023, with the Giants going 3-13 in his 16 starts over the past two seasons. He has 10 touchdown passes and 13 interceptions, including two costly picks deep in Carolina territory during New York's 20-17 overtime loss in Germany. Jones, 27, has thrown two touchdown passes and four interceptions in his past five games. He also failed to connect with open wide receivers on a flea-flicker against the Panthers, sending head coach Brian Daboll into a visible tizzy. He went down the sideline yelling, and his arms flailing in disgust. The Giants, 32nd in the NFL in scoring at 15.6 points per game, are in line for one of the top picks in next year's draft, which presumably will go toward a quarterback. |
