NFL Player News

The troubled veteran had been away from the team this season while dealing with what can only be described as mental health issues. He was then arrested and booked in Las Vegas early Friday morning, prompting his release. We can only wish our best for Jones moving forward.

Armstead has been listed as a non-participant on back-to-back days now with a knee issue. He was active in Week 12 despite not practicing and seems to be trending the same way for a Week 13 Thanksgiving game against the Packers. WR Tyreek Hill was the other star offensive player not practicing, though he was listed out due to personal issues in addition to a wrist issue that has limited him in the past. Expect both to play Thursday barring setbacks.

Ramsey has been listed as limited for back-to-back days on the Dolphins injury report with “knees” injuries. He has suffered his fair share of knee issues since entering the NFL and it seems he is managing issues to both knees this week. With a limited designation, expect Ramsey to play Thanksgiving against the Packers, barring any setbacks. Meanwhile, CB Kendall Fuller (concussion) was listed as DNP and is likely to miss Week 13.

Alexander was listed as DNP for the second straight day in the Packers’ estimated practice report for Tuesday’s walk-through. He has remained out while recovering from a torn PCL he suffered earlier in the season. With a pair of DNPs to start the week, expect Alexander to miss the Packers’ Thanksgiving showdown against the Dolphins while remaining out indefinitely.

It’s the second known bit of interest for Scott since he was pronounced fully recovered from his torn meniscus before the start of the season. The Commanders are acting like a team that might need yet another back to join Chris Rodriguez and Jeremy McNichols as healthy backs on the roster. Wednesday’s injury report will tell us more about Brian Robinson and Austin Ekeler’s status for Week 13.

Cotton, a 2019 UDFA from Alabama by the Raiders, started eight games for the Dolphins last year and one in 2022. The Patriots waived Michael Jordan in a corresponding move. (No, not that one.) Given how much turmoil there is on the New England line in any given week, Cotton stands to get a shot at some point.

A 2023 UDFA out of Ole Miss, Finley played 44 defensive snaps for the Chargers this year and profiles as a depth secondary addition and special teamer. He has seven career tackles.

Asked about Adams’ benching in a presser today, interim coach Jeff Ulbrich said “I can’t be sitting here talking about things that may or may not have happened. Mr. Johnson and myself have great dialogue, consistent dialogue, we talk all the time and we have very honest conversations and I’d like to keep those conversations between the two of us.” Uh huh, that’s normal. Well, normal for the Jets anyway.

Williams has not played since Week 8. His return would theoretically cut into Taysom Hill’s appeal a bit, but with just 13 carries in the six weeks before he hit injured reserve, Williams is not a must-roster in fantasy leagues at this point.

Rizzi added that Olave has seen several specialists and has another appointment coming up soon. The earliest Olave could come off IR is in Week 15. He was seen observing practice today — the Saints are taking Thursday off — but until he practices or we hear something more firmly optimistic about this season, we wouldn’t hold out hope of Olave playing again in 2024.

Sanders tore his Achilles in an April offseason workout program. It would be surprising if he immediately joined the Broncos linebacker room and got full-time snaps, but we may see the Broncos get his feet wet and decide what they want to do with him over the next few weeks. The 2023 third-rounder started four games last year and had 13 solo tackles while posting a rough 30.0 PFF tackling grade.
