The news keeps getting worse for Goedert after he suffered a serious shoulder injury in the fourth quarter of Philly’s Week 10 loss to the Commanders. The Eagles will be without their stud tight end for at least the next four weeks. Goedert had commanded 21 percent of the team’s targets through Week 10. TE Tyree Jackson, who was activated from the PUP list on Wednesday, could fill in for Goedert, or split time with Jack Stoll.

It’s a depth shuffling for New England, who put Curtis Jacobs (head) on injured reserve and waived Ochaun Mathis. Leo has no NFL snaps yet as a 2023 sixth-round pick for the Colts. He did have a 64.1 PFF preseason grade in 2023.

Moore’s status for Week 12 doesn’t seem overly endangered at this point after a pair of limited practices ahead of Thursday night. Bye week attrition means he’ll be on the WR3/FLEX line even against the Steelers defense. Moore has 29 targets in three weeks with Jameis Winston.

We’ve heard almost nothing from beat reporters or Browns media about Njoku missing this game, so we’ll stick with believing he’s just being managed for the moment. Njoku caught 9-of-10 targets for 81 yards last week against the Saints and played a season-high 86 percent of the snaps.

He spoke to reporters before practice and it sounds likely that he’ll give it a go on Tuesday, but this is a new listing. Garrett has seven sacks in 10 games this season and a surprise absence would give the Pittsburgh passing game a little more breathing room to work with on Thursday night.

In other words, it wouldn’t be a surprise to see him on the injury report this week. Shanahan said much the same thing about George Kittle’s hamstring after Week 10, before he missed Week 11. We wouldn’t bet on Purdy missing a game, to be clear, but this should at least open the door to some question about his Week 12 status.

Kittle was officially questionable last week with the hamstring injury, and was supposedly going to test it in pre-game workouts but was declared inactive without even getting on the field before the game. This is good news, but limited practices won’t exactly bring us any closer to a conviction that Kittle will play in Week 12.

That’s right, they’re desperate enough to keep Daniel Jones from playing another snap that they needed to make sure to cover the bases and threaten us with Boyle snaps. Boyle threw for 153 scoreless yards in two relief appearances for the Dolphins earlier this year after being with the Texans in training camp. If you were looking for someone to make Malik Nabers interesting, this is not that guy.

He had to be activated by tomorrow or miss the remainder of the season. Robinson, a fifth-round pick from Texas, will start behind Travis Etienne Jr., Tank Bigsby, and D’Ernest Johnson in the pecking order at running back and potentially will be a special-teams only player. He’s not a fantasy football roster candidate at this time.

“It’s hard to imagine him even wanting to come back,” Cimini adds. SNY’s Connor Hughes concurred, saying “it’s very clear now that this organization is going to find a new quarterback.” The Jets beat has come out strong with the belief that this is the end of the line for Rodgers in New York following the firing of Joe Douglas. There’s enough inertia here that we wouldn’t entirely rule out a Rodgers return — who is the owner? who is the general manager? who is the head coach? — but if those questions aren’t answered in a manner that is favorable to Aaron Rodgers, it seems likely that Rodgers would want to leave. The question would then become: Who would want a 41-year-old quarterback who won’t throw deep and doesn’t want to be challenged?

The former Browns general manager likely has no shot at getting a full-time job and, with the trade deadline passing, has little way to make an impact on this roster. He ran the Browns from 2005-2008 and has mostly been an executive or consultant since. He’s the guy who will check to make sure any move he wants to make is cool with Aaron Rodgers for the next seven weeks.
