Bears | Johnson: All options on the table for Rome Odunze Mon Dec 15, 04:36 PM
Ben Johnson said "all options are on the table" regarding Rome Odunze's foot injury and whether the team will shut him down for a stretch of time to get him healthy, ready for a potential playoff run. Johnson: "There may be a case that we need to protect him from himself a little bit so he can help us down the road."
| Footballguys view: Odunze did not play in Sunday's game against the New York Giants after aggravating his injury minutes before kickoff. Aggravations are often worse than the initial issue, so we should assume that Odunze won't be available for at least the next two weeks, and he might not be able to return for the playoffs. Luther Burden III is also dealing with an ankle injury, so the Bears target tree is getting narrower, with DJ Moore the top healthy option. |

Commanders | Jayden Daniels to avoid IR Mon Dec 15, 04:15 PM
Updating a previous report, Washington Commanders QB Jayden Daniels (elbow) will miss the rest of the season but will not be placed on the Reserve/Injured list because he wants to continue to practice, according to head coach Dan Quinn.
| Footballguys view: Again, Marcus Mariota is expected to start the last three games for Washington, with Daniels focused on heading into the offseason healthy and ready to work on better outcomes in 2026. |
Bears | Luther Burden day-to-day Mon Dec 15, 04:09 PM
Chicago Bears WR Luther Burden III (ankle) is considered day-to-day because of the ankle injury he suffered during the Week 15 game, according to head coach Ben Johnson.
| Footballguys view: Despite leaving Sunday's game against the Cleveland Browns early, Burden had six receptions for a team-best 84 yards on seven targets before departing. As Footballguys Sigmund Bloom suggested, even if this ankle injury keeps him from mattering in redraft leagues for the next two weeks, Burden's dynasty value is high. We'll continue to watch for more. |

Commanders | Report: Jayden Daniels won't play again this season Mon Dec 15, 03:39 PM
Jayden Daniels' second season is over, with three games remaining on the schedule. The Commanders will shut down the quarterback for the rest of the 2025 season, NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported on Monday. Rapoport added that Daniels was re-evaluated on Monday and is not yet cleared after he aggravated an elbow injury in Week 14.
| Footballguys view: The 2024 Offensive Rookie of the Year suffered through an injury-riddled second season. He completed 60.9 percent of his passes for 1,262 yards with eight touchdowns and three interceptions in seven games. Daniels added 58 rush attempts for 278 yards and two scores. The Commanders went 2-5 in his seven starts. Daniels did not play in Sunday's 29-21 win over the Giants. Marcus Mariota, who started Sunday's game, which broke an eight-game losing skid, will remain the starter. The Commanders end the season with home games against the Eagles and Cowboys, and close the campaign at Philadelphia. |

Jaguars | Bhayshul Tuten to have surgery on fractured finger Mon Dec 15, 03:30 PM
Jaguars rookie RB Bhayshul Tuten will undergo surgery to repair a finger injury suffered in yesterday's win over the Jets, sources tell NFL Network's Mike Garafolo and Ian Rapoport.
| Footballguys view: Per the report, Tuten will miss a few weeks but should be back for the playoffs. Pro Football Focus' Nathan Jahnke suggested on Sunday that we can expect Travis Etienne Jr. to play more going forward, including a few more touches per game, with Tuten missing time. The Jaguars have rough matchups against the Denver Broncos and Indianapolis Colts in Weeks 16 and 17, so a few more touches would help Etienne's fantasy value in those games. |
Vikings | Jonathan Greenard to have surgery Mon Dec 15, 03:22 PM
Minnesota Vikings LB Jonathan Greenard (shoulder) aggravated a shoulder injury during the Week 15 game and will undergo season-ending surgery, according to head coach Kevin O'Connell.

Bengals | Joe Burrow won't be shut down; QB will start final three games Mon Dec 15, 03:15 PM
The Bengals have no path to the playoffs, but that isn't changing their plan at the quarterback position. Head coach Zac Taylor said at a Monday press conference that he expects Joe Burrow to remain the team's starter for the final three games on their schedule. Taylor explained why there has not been any consideration of sitting him down at this point. "Because we want to win," Taylor said.
| Footballguys view: Burrow missed nine games this season with a toe injury and returned to lead the team to a win over the Ravens on Thanksgiving. He threw four touchdowns in Buffalo in Week 14, but two fourth-quarter interceptions helped the Bills pick up a comeback win, and Burrow had a rough go of it in Sunday's 24-0 loss to Baltimore. The Bengals will be hoping to see better performances and no more injuries for Burrow down the stretch. Cincinnati takes on the Dolphins in Week 16. |

Colts | Anthony Richardson cleared to resume football activities Mon Dec 15, 03:09 PM
According to multiple reports, Anthony Richardson has been cleared to resume football activities. Richardson has been out since fracturing an orbital bone while working out ahead of Indianapolis' Week 6 game against the Cardinals.
| Footballguys view: The Colts have not formally designated Richardson for return from injured reserve at this point, and they haven't announced if they plan to do so this week, but that would be a necessary step to get him back into practice. The move would create a 21-day window for Richardson to work out with the team, and that would run through the end of the regular season. Meanwhile, the Colts coaxed Philip Rivers out of retirement last week, and head coach Shane Steichen has already announced that Rivers will start against the 49ers on Monday Night Football in Week 16. |

Falcons | Drake London an option for Week 16? Mon Dec 15, 02:56 PM
Atlanta Falcons WR Drake London (knee) is still considered day-to-day because of his knee injury, but head coach Raheem Morris said the team is more hopeful about his availability for Week 16.
| Footballguys view: According to Morris, his top wideout is still day-to-day, but the increased optimism is worth noting. London has 60 receptions for 810 receiving yards and six touchdowns this season. During his four-week absence, TE Kyle Pitts has played some of the best football of his NFL career. Pitts has recorded 73 catches for 797 receiving yards and four touchdowns. "He was there as the No. 1 wideout, so to speak," said Morris of Pitts. "He got the targets Drake would normally get." So, London's return could have an impact beyond his own investors. We'll be watching for more. |
Buccaneers | Zyon McCollum placed on IR Mon Dec 15, 02:33 PM
Tampa Bay Buccaneers CB Zyon McCollum (hip) was placed on the Reserve/Injured list Monday, Dec. 15.
| Footballguys view: McCollum will be sidelined for at least the Buccaneers' final three regular-season games and their first playoff game, if they qualify for the postseason. The Buccaneers (7-7) are tied with the Carolina Panthers (7-7) for first place in the NFC South standings. The Buccaneers, who have lost five of their past six games, signed veteran linebacker Anthony Walker Jr. off the Indianapolis Colts' practice squad in a corresponding move Monday. McCollum, in his fourth NFL season, has 65 tackles, an interception, and six passes defended in 13 games this season. |
Chiefs | Patrick Mahomes getting second opinion before finalizing surgery Mon Dec 15, 02:20 PM
After suffering a season-ending injury on Sunday, Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes is seeking out more information on his injured knee before finalizing a course of action to repair it. Kansas City head coach Andy Reid told reporters in his Monday news conference that Mahomes is going to get a second opinion in Dallas from Cowboys team physician Dan Cooper. "We'll just see, we'll give you updates as we go from there," Reid said.
| Footballguys view: Reid shared that the MRI scan Sunday night revealed that the star quarterback didn't have any major damage to other ligaments, and he downplayed the second opinion. "No, but these guys normally do that," Reid said. "That's just part of it." Again, Mahomes will miss the team's offseason program, and his availability for the start of next season is now in question. But his long-term future? Tom Brady, who, like Mahomes, tore an ACL in his ninth NFL season, went on to win four Super Bowls (and play in six) after his injury. |

Colts | Philip Rivers to remain starter Mon Dec 15, 02:20 PM
Indianapolis Colts QB Philip Rivers will be the starting quarterback for the Colts in Week 16, according to head coach Shane Steichen.
| Footballguys view: While Rivers threw a touchdown against the Seahawks Sunday -- in his first game action in five years, he also threw an interception and only managed to produce 120 passing yards and 6.3 fantasy points on the day. Things should get better as Rivers gets back into game shape, but SI.com's Nick Raducanu believes fantasy investors should be worried about Jonathan Taylor as defenses stack the box even more than they already were. The Colts play the 49erss this week. |

Link to story Texans | Mario Edwards out for season Mon Dec 15, 02:14 PM
Houston Texans DT Mario Edwards Jr. (pectoral) will miss the rest of the season after suffering a ruptured pectoral muscle during the Week 15 game, according to head coach DeMeco Ryans.
| Footballguys view: Edwards appeared in all 14 games that the Texans have played this season. He had 13 tackles and 1.5 sacks in those contests and is signed for the 2026 season. The Texans put defensive tackle Tim Settle on injured reserve earlier this month, so Edwards' injury leaves them with Tommy Togiai, Sheldon Rankins, and Naquan Jones on the interior of their defensive line. |

Packers | Torn ACL for Micah Parsons Mon Dec 15, 02:11 PM
Green Bay Packers DE Micah Parsons (knee) has been diagnosed with a torn anterior cruciate ligament after undergoing an MRI, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.
| Footballguys view: This is the first major injury of Parsons' NFL career. The Packers typically hold out players for 10 months following ACL surgery. This year, receiver Christian Watson returned to game action 294 days after his ACL tear. A similar timeline would have Parsons back in early October next season, meaning he could miss at least four games. His first season with the Packers will end with 12.5 sacks, making him the first player in NFL history with at least 12 sacks in each of his first five NFL seasons. |

Ravens | Serious injury for Teddye Buchanan Mon Dec 15, 02:09 PM
Baltimore Ravens LB Teddye Buchanan (knee) is believed to have suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament during the Week 15 game, a source told NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. He is scheduled to undergo an MRI to confirm the injury.
Link to story Texans | Woody Marks should be OK Mon Dec 15, 12:37 PM
Houston Texans RB Woody Marks (ankle) should be fine, according to head coach DeMeco Ryans. The team will monitor him through the week.
| Footballguys view: Ryans decided to hold Marks, who left Sunday's win over the Cardinals in the second quarter, out for precautionary reasons. He also wanted to "keep rolling with those guys" -- Jawhar Jordan, who was called up from the practice squad over the weekend and ran for 101 yards, and Dare Ogunbowale. "Woody could have come back in the game," Ryans said. "For where he was, felt like Jawhar and Dare were doing a good job, so wanted to make sure Woody is good as we continue to go into the week." The Texans play the Raiders in Week 16. |
Steelers | Jaylen Warren added as questionable Mon Dec 15, 10:52 AM
Pittsburgh Steelers RB Jaylen Warren (illness) was added to the injury report Monday, Dec. 15, as questionable with an illness.
| Footballguys view: According to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero, Warren woke up sick and is getting fluids, but the running back is reportedly optimistic about playing tonight. Fantasy investors who've already committed a lineup spot might not have many options here. If possible, move him to the flex; secure a fallback option in tonight's game; and watch the inactive report, which will be released 90 minutes before kickoff. |
Jets | Steve Wilks fired Mon Dec 15, 10:50 AM
New York Jets defensive coordinator Steve Wilks was fired Monday, Dec. 15.
| Footballguys view: Passing-game coordinator Chris Harris will be the interim DC and will have play-calling duties. The Jets allowed 82 points in the last two games, including a 48-20 loss Sunday in Jacksonville, in which the defense gave up scores on eight of the first nine series. The Jaguars' Trevor Lawrence became the fifth player in the Super Bowl era (since 1966) with five touchdown passes and one rushing touchdown in a game. Nobody should expect a sudden turnaround, but the move was necessary. |
Packers | Report: Christian Watson's injury isn't believed to be major Mon Dec 15, 10:02 AM
Packers standout WR Christian Watson, who went down yesterday holding his shoulder, did not suffer a major injury, sources tell NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.
| Footballguys view: Watson was hurt in the third quarter when Broncos cornerback Pat Surtain II landed on top of him while intercepting a deep pass from Jordan Love. Watson appeared to land hard on his left shoulder, with Surtain's body weight making it worse. Watson was playing in his eighth game of the season after missing the first two months while recovering from last year's knee injury. He had been highly productive since his return with 25 catches for 452 yards and five touchdowns, tied for the most in the league since his return. His status for Saturday's game against the Bears will be determined later in the week. |
Cardinals | Bam Knight has a bad sprain; RB unlikely to play Week 16 Mon Dec 15, 10:01 AM
Cardinals RB Bam Knight, who was carted off Sunday with an ankle injury, suffered what is being described as "a bad sprain," but nothing is broken. Knight will undergo an MRI today to confirm the diagnosis. He is unlikely to play this week.
| Footballguys view: As we noted immediately after this injury, Michael Carter got the vast majority of the work in the backfield after Knight went out. He was productive enough against an elite Texans defense to merit a waiver pickup with a more manageable matchup against the Falcons coming up in Week 16 -- although Emari Demercado could play a greater role in his second week back from his ankle injury. |
Cowboys | DeMarvion Overshown leads team in tackles Mon Dec 15, 03:07 AM

Link to story Chiefs | Patrick Mahomes expected to have surgery in coming days Mon Dec 15, 02:21 AM
Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes suffered a season-ending torn ACL in his left knee in the closing minutes of Sunday's 16-13 loss to the Chargers, a result that ended Kansas City's playoff hopes. Mahomes is expected to have surgery in the coming days. He will miss the team's offseason program, and his availability for the start of next season is now in question.
| Footballguys view: Mahomes underwent an MRI after the game that confirmed the injury. "Don't know why this had to happen," Mahomes wrote on social media. "And not going to lie, [it] hurts. But all we can do now is [trust] in God and attack every single day over and over again. Thank you, Chiefs kingdom, for always supporting me and for everyone who has reached out and sent prayers. I [will] be back stronger than ever." Mahomes, 30, has managed to stay free of long-term injuries during his NFL career. Gardner Minshew will take over as the Chiefs starting quarterback. |

49ers | Ricky Pearsall should be fine after tweaking ankle, knee Mon Dec 15, 02:20 AM
49ers receiver Ricky Pearsall dealt with a couple of injuries during Sunday's victory over the Titans, but he should be OK moving forward. "We'll know for sure tomorrow," head coach Kyle Shanahan said. "I would expect it to be alright, but he was battling through a lot today."
| Footballguys view: Pearsall suffered an ankle injury during San Francisco's first offensive possession and was able to return. He then aggravated a previous PCL injury later in the contest that sidelined him for the rest of the matchup. Despite the injuries, Pearsall finished with six catches on seven targets for 96 yards. It was his most productive game since Sept. 21, when he caught eight passes for 117 yards in a victory over Arizona. The 49ers will have an extra day to prepare and for Pearsall to recover, as they'll play the Colts on the road next Monday night. |
