    Christian McCaffrey (Achilles) is officially active for San Francisco’s Week 10 game against the Buccaneers.
    He’ll make his season debut and per ESPN’s Jeff Darlington will be a “full-go today.” Deebo Samuel and Nick Bosa are also playing off the questionable tag. Inactive for the 49ers are CB Charvarius Ward, WR Chris Conley, DT Kevin Givens, TE Brayden Willis, OL Ben Bartch, and QB Josh Dobbs as the third quarterback. Conley, Givens, and Ward were ruled out on Friday. Willis and Bartch are healthy scratches.
  • CIN Quarterback #9

    Joe Burrow completed 33-of-44 passes for 369 yards, three touchdowns, and one interception in the Bengals’ 27-20, Week 14 win over the Cowboys.
    The Cowboys put up a significant fight in this one, taking a 20-20 tie into the two-minute warning. They would then force a punt, which was blocked, touched by the Cowboys, then recovered beyond the line of scrimmage by the Bengals, giving the ball right back to Burrow. A few plays later, Burrow hit a quick out to Ja’Marr Chase who would pivot and leave his defender in the dust on his way to a 40-yard touchdown. The Bengals continue to pass the football with little regard, with Burrow’s 44 pass attempts the third time in the previous four games that he has thrown 44 times or more. Up next for the 5-8 Bengals are the Titans on the road in Week 15.
  • DAL Linebacker #13
    Cowboys LB DeMarvion Overshown (knee) was ruled out for the remainder of the Week 14 game against the Bengals.
    Overshown was rolled up on and remained down on the field. He needed significant help to get off the field but did walk off. That’s where the good news ends as Overshown was almost immediately ruled out for the remainder of the game with a knee injury. It’s a tough blow for an up-and-coming second-year player that missed his entire rookie season with a torn ACL.
  • LAC Tight End #81
    Fox’s Jordan Schultz reports Chargers TE Will Dissly (shoulder) is expected to miss “a couple weeks.”
    Dissly was forced from the team’s Sunday Night Football loss to the Chiefs in Week 14 with a shoulder injury. Per Schultz, initial testing revealed an injury significant enough to hold him out in the coming weeks. Journeyman Stone Smartt filled in for Dissly in the second half and stands to benefit the most from the former’s absence. He could be an option for fantasy managers in a bind at one of the most top-heavy positions in football.
  • SEA Running Back #9
    Seahawks HC Mike Macdonald said RB Kenneth Walker (calf) will undergo further testing on his injured calf.
    Macdonald added that his status for Week 15 is still unknown after the lead back was forced to miss the team’s Week 14 win over the Cardinals. The team should know more in the next 24-48 hours. Zach Charbonnet remains a locked-in RB1 for as long as Walker remains sidelined in what has become a workhorse role.
  • DAL Cornerback #7
    Cowboys declared LB Damone Clark, WR Jalen Brooks, DB Juanyeh Thomas, RB Deuce Vaughn, LB Tyrus Wheat, and CB Andrew Booth inactive for Week 14 against the Bengals.
    No real surprises here. The bigger news is that cornerback Trevon Diggs is active after missing the previous two games, meaning the Cowboys will have their complete starting cornerback unit all active for the first time this season. They’ll likely find themselves busy against the pass-heavy nature of the Cincinnati offense.
  • CIN Tackle #75
    Bengals declared WR Charlie Jones, DB Daijahn Anthony, OT Orlando Brown, TE Tanner McLachlan, and DT Sheldon Rankins inactive for Week 14 against the Cowboys.
    Both Brown and defensive tackle Sheldon Rankins had already been ruled out over the weekend, with each a massive hit to the lines on both sides of the ball. The Bengals are likely to continue passing their way towards the end of the season, with these absences only boosting the chances we see immense pass volume in Week 14.
  • NE Tackle #70
    Patriots designated OT Caedan Wallace this (ankle) for return from injured reserve.
    Wallace was placed on injured reserve back on October 4th after suffering an ankle injury in Week 4 against the 49ers. The rookie has played exclusively at left tackle this season and started in the team’s Week 3 game against the Jets. On 70 offensive snaps, Wallace has earned a PFF blocking grade of 55.1 and has allowed one sack on three pressures. The Patriots will have 21 days to activate him from injured reserve or rule him out for the season.
  • KC Cornerback #21
    Chiefs signed CB Steven Nelson, formerly of the Texans.
    Nelson was a third-round pick of the Chiefs back in 2015 and spent the first four years of his career with the team. He then bounced around between the Steelers, Eagles, and Texans before announcing his retirement earlier this year. Last season, Nelson totaled 63 tackles for the Texans while tying a career-high with four interceptions. He earned a PFF coverage grade of 73.7, after allowing just 38-613-1 on 64 targets. Nelson will join the Chiefs’ practice squad, but can be elevated at any time as they prepare to solidify their roster before the postseason.
  • SF Tackle #78
    49ers OL Ben Batch (ankle) will go on injured reserve.
    It’s a high-ankle sprain. It’s possible that Bartch would make it back for the playoffs if the 49ers can overcome the odds to get there, but with Aaron Banks back he probably wouldn’t make the starting lineup if he did. Bartch had a career-best 74.8 PFF grade in 65 snaps blocking this season and will be an unrestricted free agent this offseason entering his age-27 season. It’s possible he’s done enough to earn a stopgap starter spot somewhere, depending on how offensive line situations shake out for the Shanaclan this offseason.
  • SF Running Back #31
    49ers coach Kyle Shanahan said Isaac Guerendo has a sprained foot, and the team will “evaluate him over the next few days” to determine his Week 15 availability.
    An MRI confirmed previous suspicions that Guerendo suffered a sprained foot in Sunday’s win over the Bears. Now, the 49ers will see if the rookie can overcome a short rest week in time to suit up for Thursday night’s game against the Rams. The 49ers need all hands on deck as the look to make a late postseason push, but four days of rest may not be enough time for Guerendo to get right. He’ll likely be listed as a DNP on the team’s estimated practice report on Monday, but Tuesday and Wednesday will be something to monitor as the team prepares for the divisional matchup. If he can’t play, Patrick Taylor would be next in line to lead the 49ers’ backfield.
