    Updating a previous item, Raiders MLB Kirk Morrison (elbow) was only a limited participate in side drills during Monday’s practice.
    The coaching staff will still appreciate this. Morrison’s dislocated elbow was supposed to cost him two weeks and possibly threaten his starting job, but he’s doing everything he can to hold off Ricky Brown and not miss any games. Expect Morrison to return to the starting lineup before opening day.
  • DAL Linebacker #13

    Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said LB DeMarvion Overshown will require knee surgery.
    Overshown suffered what appeared to be a major knee injury on Monday night against the Bengals and will miss the remainder of the season. It could be a devastating setback for Overshown, who missed his entire rookie season with an ACL injury. The explosive linebacker — among the best Dallas defenders — finishes 2024 with five sacks, an interceptions, and three pass breakups. He had 13 QB pressures over his final four games of the season.
  • NE Kicker (FG) #15
    Patriots signed K John Parker Romo, formerly of the Vikings.
    Parker Romo will be on the team’s practice squad until the Pats activate him to the game day roster. Parker Romo made 11 of his 12 field goal attempts in four games with the Vikings this season before the team released him in Week 14, with Will Reichard returning from IR. Parker Romo could be New England’s starter soon rather than later. Joey Slye has missed three field goals over the team’s past two games and has converted a lowly 78 percent of his attempts in 2024.
  • CIN Wide Receiver #5
    Joe Burrow said he’s “confident” Tee Higgins will remain with the Bengals in 2025 and beyond.
    Burrow said after the Bengals’ Monday night win over the Cowboys that he would do what it takes to retain Higgins, who is slated to be a free agent at the end of the 2024 season. Higgins is sure to draw top dollar from a handful of wideout-needy teams intrigued by his (often untapped) upside. Higgins had been on a heater headed into Week 14, with 377 yards and three touchdowns over his previous four games. He cooled off Monday night with just two grabs for 23 scoreless yards. That Burrow is apparently willing to adjust how own contract to keep Higgins in Cincinnati could mean Burrow, Higgins, and Ja’Marr Chase get another few seasons together as the centerpiece of the Bengals’ high-octane offense.
  • DAL Wide Receiver #3
    Brandin Cooks caught 1-of-3 targets for three yards and a touchdown in the Cowboys’ Week 14 loss to the Bengals.
    Cooks’ only reception went for a three-yard score in the third quarter to knot the game at 17. Quarterback Cooper Rush targeted a ridiculous 11 pass-catchers, leaving only CeeDee Lamb and Jake Ferguson to see more than a modest four targets. Up next for Cooks and the Cowboys are the Panthers on the road in Week 15.
  • DAL Tight End #87
    Jake Ferguson caught 3-of-6 targets for 32 yards in the Cowboys’ Week 14 loss to the Bengals.
    Ferguson’s six targets finished second on the team behind alpha wide receiver CeeDee Lamb on a night quarterback Cooper Rush targeted 11 different pass-catchers on 31 pass attempts. Ferguson continues to operate as a near every-down tight end but has yet to establish any chemistry with backup quarterback Cooper Rush. His next opportunity to return a usable fantasy score comes on the road against the Panthers in Week 15.
  • DAL Wide Receiver #88
    CeeDee Lamb caught 6-of-7 targets for 93 yards and a touchdown in the Cowboy’s Week 14 loss to the Bengals, adding one yards on his lone carry.
    Lamb got the Cowboys on the board on an 11-yard touchdown reception on fourth down half way through the first quarter. He would go on to be targeted heavily on the team’s next two possessions before landing hard on his injured shoulder. He would take himself out of the game for the following plays before gutting out the injury the rest of the way. Lamb’s season has gone the way of his team, with injuries seeming insurmountable on the offensive side of the ball. Up next for Lamb and the Cowboys are the Panthers on the road in Week 15.
  • DAL Running Back #23
    Rico Dowdle rushed 18 times for 131 yards in the Cowboys’ Week 14 loss to the Bengals, adding 10 yards on this lone reception.
    Dowdle set career-highs in rushing in consecutive games after his 112 yards a week ago. He has also seen 20 or more running back opportunities in three straight games after doing so just once in his first nine contests, finally giving the Cowboys a hint of dependability on the ground. Dowdle gets another solid matchup on the ground against the Panthers in Week 15.
  • DAL Quarterback #10
    Cooper Rush completed 16-of-31 passes for 183 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception in the Cowboys’ 27-20, Week 14 loss to the Bengals, adding five yards on two carries.
    Rush and the Cowboys played the Bengals close throughout at home, eventually forcing a 17-17 tie in third quarter before taking a fourth quarter lead with a field goal. The Bengals would answer on the following possession to knot the game at 20 before both teams struggled to move the football for the remainder of the game. That is, until the Cowboys blocked a punt with under two minutes to play, only for a defender to touch the ball beyond the line of scrimmage and for the Bengals to recover, giving them a fresh set of downs they would eventually score on. Rush and the Cowboys took the football with just over a minute to play but a failed fourth down conversion sealed their fate. Dallas falls to 1-6 at home and 5-8 overall before a meeting with the surging Panthers at home in Week 15.
  • CIN Wide Receiver #5
    Tee Higgins caught 2-of-5 targets for 23 yards in the Bengals’ Week 14 win over the Cowboys.
    Higgins was locked down by a healthy Dallas secondary, running many empty routes while teammate Ja’Marr Chase erupted for a wild 14-177-2 receiving line. Higgins had been targeted fairly heavily the precious six games, wracking up 62 targets while seeing double-digit looks in four of his previous six games. He’ll find a difficult matchup in Week 15 when the Bengals travel to face a Titans defense allowing the fewest pass yards per game.
  • CIN Tight End #88
    Mike Gesicki caught all three targets for 24 yards in the Bengals’ Week 14 win over the Cowboys.
    Gesicki played a muted role against the Cowboys as alpha wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase went absolutely ham to the tune of a 14-177-2 receiving line. Both Tanner Hudson and Drew Sample saw increased offensive snaps in this one, which is going to limit Gesicki’s upside for the remainder of the season.
