Link to story Commanders | Josh Johnson starting Thursday Wed Dec 24, 12:22 PM
Washington Commanders QB Josh Johnson will start against the Dallas Cowboys Thursday, Dec. 25, according to head coach Dan Quinn.
| Footballguys view: Johnson, a fifth-round pick of the Buccaneers back in 2008, has bounced around to over a dozen NFL teams during his career. He's a trusted backup with rushing ability, but with Johnson starting it does downgrade the Washington passing game. Adjust expectations for guys like Terry McLaurin and Deebo Samuel accordingly. |

NFL | Texas A&M QB Marcel Reed elects to stay in school Wed Dec 24, 01:52 AM
Texas A&M QB Marcel Reed announced his intentions to return to school for the 2026 season, and while he won't have WR KC Concepcion any longer, he will look to build rapport with WR Mario Craver, who isn't draft eligible until 2027, which is now the earliest Reed can be selected.
| Footballguys view: Reed wants to further develop as a passer, and he wants another crack to win a national title with the Aggies. He can make plays off platform, and Reed is seen as a dual-threat quarterback in the pros. We'll see if he can improve his decision making as passer during his senior season. |
NFL | FSU's Thomas Castellanos declares for draft Wed Dec 24, 01:24 AM
Florida State QB Thomas Castellanos declared for the 2026 NFL Draft on Tuesday, Dec. 23, he announced on his official social media site.
| Footballguys view: Castellanos is a developmental quarterback prospect with game-changing athletic ability. He's under 6-feet tall, and he is certainly not polished as a passer. Some have suggested a position switch to wide receiver, but the right team could see him more as at least a gadget quarterback at the pro level. |
Commanders | Josh Johnson relishes chance to start Wed Dec 24, 01:11 AM
Washington Commanders QB Josh Johnson could start in Week 17 against the Dallas Cowboys with QBs Jayden Daniels (elbow) and Marcus Mariota (hand, quadriceps) nursing various injuries. He has gotten 'a lion's share' of the reps in practice, head coach Dan Quinn said Tuesday, Dec. 23, and he might start his first NFL game since 2021.
| Footballguys view: Commanders HC Dan Quinn has announced Johnson will start for the Commanders on Christmas against the Cowboys. Johnson, a fifth-round pick of the Buccaneers back in 2008, has bounced around to over a dozen NFL teams during his career. He's a trusted backup with rushing ability, but with Johnson starting it does downgrade the Washington passing game. Adjust expectations for guys like Terry McLaurin and Deebo Samuel accordingly. |

Jets | Justin Fields placed on season-ending IR Tue Dec 23, 05:05 PM
New York Jets QB Justin Fields (knee) was placed on season-ending injured reserve on Dec. 23.
| Footballguys view: Brady Cook will get another start this week. Meanwhile, as Profootballtalk.com suggests, the decision to give Fields a two-year, $40 million contract in March is looking like a costly mistake. It's unclear at this point whether Fields will be back next year, but the Jets are on the hook for at least that $10 million either way. The Jets will certainly also be looking, in the draft or free agency, for that elusive franchise quarterback. They thought they had a franchise quarterback when they signed Fields, but this season has proven them wrong. |

Bills | Josh Allen misses practice with an injury Tue Dec 23, 03:55 PM
Buffalo Bills QB Josh Allen (foot) will not practice on Tuesday, Dec. 23, according to head coach Sean McDermott.
| Footballguys view: The Bills were already scheduled to hold a walk-through session on Tuesday. The walk-through was scheduled before Buffalo clinched its seventh straight playoff berth with the Colts' loss on Monday night. McDermott said it was too early to determine whether Allen would practice on Wednesday. McDermott said Allen, who hurt his foot late in the first half Sunday but returned to play the second half, experienced no setbacks. The coach said he anticipates the quarterback playing on Sunday, when the Bills host the Eagles. Allen has not missed a start since his rookie season in 2018. Stay tuned. |

Browns | Deshaun Watson won't play in 2025 Tue Dec 23, 03:14 PM
Cleveland Browns QB Deshaun Watson (Achilles) will not play during the 2025 season, according to head coach Kevin Stefanski.
| Footballguys view: Watson was designated for a return to practice on Dec. 3, which marked the first time he practiced in a limited basis with the Browns since his Achilles tear in the 2024 Week 7 loss to the Bengals. By being kept on PUP, Watson can no longer practice, but he can be part of meetings, while continuing to rehab his injury. The Browns will keep Watson on the roster for the 2026 season. He's still worth $131,163,378 in cap hits spread out between 2026 -- when the contract expires -- and extra years created by restructuring late in 2024. |

Packers | Both Green Bay quarterback will be limited on Tuesday Tue Dec 23, 02:34 PM
Green Bay Packers QB Malik Willis (shoulder) and Jordan Love (concussion) will be limited in practice on Tuesday, Dec. 23, according to head coach Matt LaFleur.
| Footballguys view: There is a chance the Packers will have their starting quarterback when they take on the Ravens Saturday night. Love is in concussion protocol, having been placed in it during last Saturday's loss to the Bears. But his ability to get on the field on a limited basis -- even in a jog-through session -- is a step in the right direction. Willis, dealing with a shoulder injury, seems less of a concern. We'll continue to monitor in advance of Saturday's game. Green Bay will clinch a playoff berth with a victory over Baltimore or a Detroit loss to Minnesota. |

Vikings | Max Brosmer named Week 17 starter Tue Dec 23, 02:09 PM
Minnesota Vikings QB Max Brosmer will start Week 17 against the Detroit Lions due to an injury to J.J. McCarthy.
| Footballguys view: This will be Brosmer's second NFL start. He was thrown into the starting role on November 30 when the Vikings lost 26-0 at Seattle. Brosmer struggled mightily, completing 19-of-30 passes for 126 yards, no touchdowns, and four interceptions. Brosmer played the entire second half against the Giants after McCarthy was injured, and threw just nine passes, completing seven of them for 52 yards. He didn't throw a touchdown, nor was he intercepted. He was sacked once. His presence in the starting lineup further diminishes the value of Minnesota's receiving assets, including Justin Jefferson. |
Vikings | J.J. McCarthy out for Week 17 Tue Dec 23, 02:05 PM
Minnesota Vikings QB J.J. McCarthy (hand) will miss Week 17 against the Detroit Lions, according to head coach Kevin O'Connell. McCarthy has a small fracture in his throwing hand.
| Footballguys view: O'Connell said the injury shouldn't require surgery. McCarthy suffered an injury to his right hand during Minnesota's win over the Giants on Sunday. Details about the injury have been murky, but he appeared to hurt himself when his hand struck a Giants defender's helmet during the follow-through of a pass attempt two plays before he scrambled for a 12-yard rushing touchdown. Without McCarthy, the Vikings will give undrafted rookie Max Brosmer his second start of the season, which doesn't bode well for the team's receiving assets for Sunday's game. |
Colts | Philip Rivers turns back the clock on MNF Tue Dec 23, 12:59 AM
Indianapolis Colts QB Philip Rivers completed 23 of 35 passes for 277 yards, two touchdowns, and an interception against the San Francisco 49ers in Week 16. With the game out of hand late, Rivers was replaced by QB Riley Leonard on the final drive.
| Footballguys view: After Rivers played it close to the vest against Seattle in Week 14 -- in his first game in five years -- he opened things up in a significant way Monday night, pushing the ball farther downfield after averaging just 4.4 yards per attempt in his previous game. Unfortunately, the Colts' defense had its most miserable performance of the season. After starting 2025 at 8-2 and in the conversation among title contenders, Indianapolis has now lost five straight and seems destined to miss the playoffs again. But they're not eliminated yet, so expect Rivers to make another start. |

49ers | Brock Purdy throws five TD passes Tue Dec 23, 12:02 AM
San Francisco 49ers QB Brock Purdy completed 25 of 34 passes for 295 yards, five touchdowns, and one interception versus the Indianapolis Colts in Week 16. Purdy also ran the ball twice for 11 yards in the win.
| Footballguys view: As ESPN.com's Nick Wagoner suggested, "Monday Night Football" hadn't been kind to Purdy, as he had thrown five touchdowns and 11 interceptions in his five appearances entering this game. But Purdy shrugged those woes off against a depleted Colts secondary, posting his first career five-touchdown game. He's the first Niners quarterback to throw for five scores on MNF and the team's first signal-caller to throw for five or more touchdowns in a regular-season or playoff game since Steve Young in Super Bowl XXIX against the Chargers. The Niners play the Bears on Sunday night in Week 17. |

Link to story Bills | Josh Allen day-to-day Mon Dec 22, 04:28 PM
Buffalo Bills QB Josh Allen (foot) is considered day-to-day because of the foot injury he suffered in Week 16, according to head coach Sean McDermott. Allen could miss some practice time this week, but McDermott expects Allen to be available for Week 17.
| Footballguys view: Allen took a 23-yard sack late in the first half of Sunday's game, but injured himself on the play. He told reporters later he tweaked his foot a little bit. He returned for the second half of the game -- after having precautionary X-rays on the foot. Allen said the pain subsided, but he clearly had to battle through the second half. He finished the game, completing just 12 of 19 passes for 130 yards. He failed to produce a TD running or passing. We'll watch for more on this one as Sunday afternoon's tilt with the Eagles draws nearer. |
