David Montgomery Injury Update
Montgomery (shoulder) upgraded to a limited participant during practice on Tuesday. The talented running back is trending in the right direction for Week 13, but Wednesday's injury report and game status will provide the best context for his expected availability versus Chicago. Montgomery and the Lions play at 12:30 p.m. EST on Thursday.

Isiah Pacheco Injury Update
Pacheco (fibula) was a full participant in practice on Tuesday. All signs point to him playing against the Raiders this week, but he'd need to be activated from injured reserve first. If active on Friday, Pacheco would rank as a mid-to-low fantasy RB2 against Las Vegas.

Brian Robinson Jr. Injury Update
Robinson (ankle) revealed that he's dealing with an ankle sprain. Although his status remains up in the air for Week 13, fantasy managers will be pleased to learn that Robinson did not suffer a high-ankle sprain, avoided a fracture, and has made significant progress since exiting early Sunday. The Commanders face a stingy Titans run defense this week.
Commanders RB Brian Robinson on @JunksRadio just now on @1067thefan:
“I’m dealing with an ankle sprain right now to some ligaments that was rolled up.”
Said it’s not a high ankle sprain and nothing going on with the bone. Has been surprised how much it’s progressed since SUN.

Alexander Mattison Injury Update
Mattison (ankle) was a limited participant in practice on Tuesday. He missed last week's game against the Broncos, but he has a real shot at playing this upcoming Friday in Kansas City. Mattison would rank as an RB3/flex in fantasy football if active.

Austin Ekeler Injury Update
Ekeler (head) has been diagnosed with a concussion and is officially in the league's protocol. The veteran running back suffered the scary injury during a kick return in the waning seconds of last Sunday's game against the Cowboys. While Ekeler may avoid an IR stint, the severity of his concussion will likely keep him sidelined for Week 13. Jeremy McNichols would be headed for a larger role if neither Robinson nor Ekeler can suit up against Tennessee.
Dan Quinn said he met with Austin Ekeler today. His scans were good, Quinn said, but he is in the concussion protocol.

Zamir White Injury Update
Following Tuesday's walk-through, White (quadricep) was considered a non-participant. While there's still time for his status to progress, White faces an uphill battle to play on Friday against the Chiefs. Ameer Abdullah is likely headed for a larger role on offense, especially if Mattison doesn't end up playing, either.
