There are fears that Minshew suffered a torn ACL in Sunday's 26-9 loss to the Titans, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Minshew is slated to undergo additional tests to confirm the severity of his injury, but it looks like he's in line to miss the Chiefs' last two games, based on initial reports. If so, Chris Oladokun would be in line to draw the start at QB for Kansas City on Thursday against the Broncos.

Judkins reportedly suffered a broken leg during Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Bills, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Per the report, Judkins is also being evaluated for a knee injury. We'll await further details via the Browns, but it appears as though the rookie back's 2025 season is done. If that's the case, Dylan Sampson (hand) would be next in line for carries, if he's available after being inactive Sunday, with Trayveon Williams and Raheim Sanders also in the backfield mix heading into Cleveland's final two games.

Head coach Dan Quinn told reporters Sunday that "it would be tough" for Lane (ankle) to be available for the Commanders' Christmas Day game against the Cowboys on Thursday, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.

Lane sustained an ankle injury during the first quarter of Saturday's 29-18 loss to the Eagles. The injury was severe enough for him to not return, and he is facing an uphill battle to play in Thursday's NFC East contest. If he's unable to play, then Deebo Samuel would be the top candidate to serve as the main returner on kickoffs and punts.

Bresee (knee) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Jets, Ross Jackson of WWL Louisiana reports.

Bresee will not return to Sunday's game due to a knee injury, so Jonathan Bullard and Nathan Shepherd should see more snaps at defensive end the rest of the way. Bresee is in jeopardy of missing the Saints' Week 17 road tilt against the Titans on Sunday, Dec. 28.

Cosmi is in concussion protocol following Saturday's loss to Philadelphia, JP Finlay of NBC Sports Washington reports.

Cosmi was pulled late in the fourth quarter Saturday and was evaluated for a concussion. With testing having confirmed that diagnosis, the veteran offensive lineman will need to clear the NFL's five-step concussion protocol before he can return to action. If Cosmi can't play Christmas Day against Dallas, Andrew Wylie or Nick Allegretti could start at right guard.

Grandy has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Dolphins due to a left collarbone injury.

Grandy may have picked up the injury during the second half of Sunday's game. The reserve tight end hauled in his lone target for a one-yard reception before departing.

Eskridge (toe) won't return to Sunday's matchup against Cincinnati.

Eskridge suffered a toe injury in the third quarter and has been ruled out for the rest of the game. Malik Washington figures to work as the Dolphins' main kick returner with Eskridge out, while Theo Wease could see more work on offense in what has become a Bengals blowout.

Schmitz (hand) is questionable to return to Sunday's matchup versus the Vikings, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Austin Schlottmann is now in at center after Schmitz sustained a hand injury in the second half. If the 26-year-old is unable to return, the Giants could be shorthanded along the offensive line, as Andrew Thomas has been ruled out with a hamstring injury.

Bresee (knee) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Jets, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.

Bresee went to the locker room in the second half to have his knee evaluated by medical staff. Nathan Shepherd and Jonathan Bullard should see more snaps at defense end for as long as Bresee is out of the game.

Johnson (coach's decision) is a healthy scratch for Sunday's clash against the Lions.

Johnson has been getting very little work on offense with just eight snaps over his past three games. He'll be entirely out of the picture Sunday, representing his fifth missed contest this season. Pittsburgh has just two running backs -- Jaylen Warren and Kenneth Gainwell -- active against Detroit.
