Miami Dolphins offensive lineman Jesse Davis has been placed on the COVID-19 list on Monday and will reportedly not be available for Sunday's game versus the Jets.

Houston Texans wide receiver Randall Cobb (toe) would not have been available to participate in Monday's practice had there been one.

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Dez Bryant was moved back to the practice squad following the team's Week 11 win over Tennessee.

The Pittsburgh Steelers will host the Ravens on Thanksgiving, thereby giving them just three days of rest between their Week 11 and 12 contests.

New York Jets cornerback Bless Austin (neck) was placed on injured reserve Saturday, meaning he will miss at least the team's next three games.

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Sammy Watkins (hamstring) will remain sidelined for Sunday's game versus the Raiders, this time due to a hamstring ailment, but the Chiefs will get back Mecole Hardman (COVID-19) off of the COVID-19/reserve list.

The Las Vegas Raiders defense is in for a challenging matchup in Week 11 for reasons beyond facing Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs.

Minnesota Vikings fullback C.J. Ham (COVID-19 list) has been given the green light to return for Sunday's game versus Dallas, having been placed on the COVID-19/reserve list earlier in the week.

Los Angeles Chargers linebacker Kyzir White (COVID-19 list) was placed on the COVID-19/reserve list Saturday, although it was not revealed whether he tested positive or was merely in contact with someone who had.

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Dez Bryant has been added to the team's active roster for Sunday's game versus Tennessee, the second time that he has been brought up from the practice squad.

Los Angeles Rams kicker Matt Gay won out the competition that the team held Saturday to find a new kicker for Monday's game versus Tampa Bay.

Baltimore Ravens running back Mark Ingram II (non-injury related) is not on the team's final injury report ahead of Sunday's contest against the Titans, paving the way for the veteran to take the field.

Indianapolis Colts tight end Jack Doyle (concussion) has passed the league's concussion protocol and is now expected to return to the field for Sunday's contest versus the Packers.

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins (illness) will play Sunday against Washington after previously missing practice earlier in the week due to a non-COVID illness.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Davante Adams (ankle) has no injury designation for Sunday's contest versus the Colts, paving the way for him to take the field against a stout defensive unit.

Baltimore Ravens running back Gus Edwards could be a significant fantasy contributor if he was not part of a three-headed, by-committee backfield monster that the Ravens have created. Even though he was the team's leading running back rusher last week, he still logged just seven carries for 42 yards. With Mark Ingram II on track […]
