San Francisco 49ers left tackle Trent Williams (groin) is questionable to return against the Baltimore Ravens on Monday night.

Dustin Hopkins Estimated As Non-Participant Monday

Greg Zuerlein Estimated As Limited Participant Monday

New York Jets kicker Greg Zuerlein (right quad) was estimated as a limited participant on Monday. With the Jets in the midst of a short week, any sort of injury is worth monitoring.

New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers (Achilles) was estimated as a non-participant for Monday's practice. The 40-year-old isn't expected to play again this season after tearing his Achilles back in Week 1, though it's at least worth noting that he did log a limited practice last Friday. With the Jets out of playoff contention and […]

Jeremy Ruckert Won't Play In Week 17

New York Jets tight end Jeremy Ruckert (concussion) missed practice on Monday and will not play against the Cleveland Browns in Week 17, head coach Robert Saleh told the media.

Browns Sign Riley Patterson To Practice Squad

The Cleveland Browns signed free agent kicker Riley Patterson to their practice squad on Monday.

Kareem Jackson Waived By Broncos, Could Sign To Practice Squad

Denver Broncos safety Kareem Jackson was waived on Monday, but the team hopes to bring him back onto their practice squad if he clears waivers, according to Troy Renck of Denver7.

New England Patriots tight end Mike Gesicki caught two passes for 15 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's win over the Denver Broncos.

Henry had three touchdowns […]

Ezekiel Elliott Catches Nine Passes Versus Denver

New England Patriots running back Ezekiel Elliott rushed 12 times for just 27 yards during Sunday's win over the Denver Broncos.

Minnesota Vikings running back Alexander Mattison (ankle) is officially active for Week 16 versus the Detroit Lions.
