  • DET Quarterback #5

    Lions signed QB Teddy Bridgewater.
    Bridgewater signed with the Lions following a successful workout earlier in the day and brings a veteran presence familiar with head coach Dan Campbell to the team. He should immediately step into the backup quarterback role for a Detroit roster devoid of experience behind starter Jared Goff. The Lions offered Bridgewater a contract in April but the two sides could not come to terms. Bridgewater had moderate success behind Tua Tagovailoa in Miami prior to injury in 2022 and also played well for the Broncos and Panthers during the 2021 and 2020 seasons, respectively.
  • SF Tight End #85

    49ers coach Kyle Shanahan said George Kittle left Sunday’s game with “hamstring irritation” that will be “monitored throughout the week.”
    This could just be a low-key thing, we certainly haven’t seen any of the 49ers beats make a big deal about it. But it’s something to monitor on the Wednesday practice circuit. Kittle hasn’t missed a game since Week 3 and already has seven touchdowns this season, more than he had in 16 healthy 2023 games.
  • PHI Tight End #88
    Dallas Goedert (ankle) was limited in Tuesday’s practice.
    It was, as usual, estimated. The ankle injury was a new listing on Monday, but it doesn’t seem like it’s all that serious. The team didn’t release an injury report until after Nick Sirianni had spoke on Monday, and only assistants spoke on Tuesday. It’s possible Goedert winds up questionable on Wednesday given the lack of context around this so far, but it’s hard to read what we’ve seen so far on the report as much of a signal for that.
  • PHI Wide Receiver #6
    DeVonta Smith (hamstring was limited in Tuesday’s practice.
    It was estimated, as usual on Mondays and Tuesdays. It’s likely that Smith’s DNP on Monday was just a rest day for a hamstring that kept him on the injury report for most of last week before he had a forgettable 2/14 outing against the Cowboys in a game Philadelphia barely had to pass in. It seems much more likely he’ll be involved against the Commanders on Thursday night.
  • MIA Running Back #31
    Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel said not giving Raheem Mostert any carries was “unique to the game plan” in Week 10.
    “The particular usage this past game was unique to the game plan and that’s kind of the case when you have one football and multiple talented running backs that all contribute in various ways. ... He’s still the leader of that room and we’ll be counting on him all season for us to get where we wanna go,” McDaniel said in full. Mostert should still be considered the No. 2 back going forward for the Dolphins. It’s just that the team’s offense has not been good enough to make that a particularly fantasy-appealing role right now.

  • MIA Linebacker #0
    Dolphins claimed LB Tyrel Dodson off waivers from the Seahawks.
    Miami’s had problems with the spot opposite Jordyn Brooks at inside linebacker all season, with David Long Jr. posting a 27.4 PFF tackle grade and Anthony Walker being rough in coverage. It’s possible Dodson comes in and pushes for a starting job. We imagine they’ll probably give the in-house options another week or so while Dodson acclimates to the system, but taking on the remainder of Dodson’s base salary tells a story about how much they valued him.
  • MIA Tackle #73
    Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel said Austin Jackson (knee) will undergo surgery and miss the rest of the season.
    Kendall Lamm stepped in for Jackson after he was placed on injured reserve prior to Week 10’s game against the Rams. Jackson finishes the year with a 64.3 PFF run block grade. He’s been mostly an average player at right tackle the last two years after starting his career as a sieve. Jackson has a $13.8 million cap figure next year and could save nearly $11.5 million if the Dolphins wanted to make him a post-June 1 cut. He’s still only 25, though, and unless the knee injury is more dire than we’ve seen reported so far, we’d expect him to come back as their right tackle in 2025. McDaniel said he expects Jackson to be ready for training camp in 2025.
  • WAS Running Back #8
    Brian Robinson (hamstring) was limited in practice on Tuesday.
    It’s another estimation. Commanders coach Dan Quinn said he would “have a better idea tomorrow” if Robinson would play or not on Thursday night. We’re tentatively bracing for it to be another game-time decision. This is the eighth-straight limited practice for Robinson, who has not played either of the last two weeks despite participating in practice.
  • LV Tight End #87
    CBS’ Jonathan Jones reports Michael Mayer (personal) returned to Raiders practice on Tuesday.
    Mayer has not played since September. It’s possible he’ll be a bigger factor down the stretch with Davante Adams gone and the Raiders lacking for receiver help, but any Raiders passing game options outside of Brock Bowers and Jakobi Meyers are going to struggle for volume and reliability. Especially if this is about to become Desmond Ridder’s show.
  • MIA Defensive Back #29
    Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel said CB Kendall Fuller (concussion) will not play this week.
    Fuller was concussed in the win over the Rams on Monday night. McDaniel did not have a timeline for his return. Week 12 would appear to be his earliest possible return date, but a more serious concussion could have him out longer and McDaniel referenced that he was “concerned about [Fuller’s] well being” which sounds a little bit ominous.
  • HOU Wide Receiver #12
    Texans coach DeMeco Ryans said Nico Collins (hamstring) did not have a setback and will practice this week.
    Ryans was asked if not playing off the questionable tag meant that Collins had a setback in his injury recovery, and noted that it was simply a game-time decision. We’d be surprised if Collins wasn’t active this week, but wouldn’t be surprised to see him managed through practices as he eases into the grind after his hamstring injury. Aaron Wilson of NBC Houston claims Collins is “100 percent ready to go.”
