Eagles' Will Shipley: No offensive touches in blowout win
Shipley did not receive a carry or a target in Sunday's 31-0 win over the Raiders.
The Eagles went up by 31 points on the first play of the fourth quarter, a situation which usually leads to some garbage-time touches for running backs lower on the depth chart. In this case, those all went to Tank Bigsby, who had 27 offensive snaps to Shipley's three and 17 carries to Shipley's zero.

Seahawks' Dareke Young: Opens week with full practice
Young (quadriceps) was a full participant in Monday's walkthrough practice, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
The Seahawks held a walkthrough to open Week 16 prep, but Young has been a full practice participant since his 21-day practice window opened in early December. The 2022 seventh-rounder has missed the Seahawks' last seven games due to a quad injury, but he has a chance to return Thursday against the Rams if he's activated from IR.

Rams' Alaric Jackson: Considered limited Monday
Jackson (ankle) was considered limited on Monday's estimated injury report, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.
Jackson is dealing with an apparent ankle injury, and although the Rams didn't practice Monday, the injury was significant enough for him to not be considered 100 percent. The offensive lineman will have two more opportunities to log a full practice prior to Thursday night's contest against the Seahawks.

Chiefs' Patrick Mahomes: Undergoes surgery
Mahomes underwent surgery to repair his torn left ACL and LCL on Monday.
Mahomes was in Dallas on Monday to get a second opinion on his knee injury. Per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, Mahomes tore the LCL in addition to the ACL in his left knee, making recovery potentially more complicated. The Chiefs noted that Mahomes' rehab will begin immediately, but a timeline for his return to the field has not been announced. Gardner Minshew will serve as the Chiefs' starter for the rest of the 2025 season.

Charlie Smyth K | NO
Saints' Charlie Smyth: Placed back on practice squad
The Saints reverted Smyth to their practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Smyth has been New Orleans' kicker three straight weeks and has performed well, making four of five field-goal attempts and all five of his extra-point tries. It seems likely that he'll kick again for the team in Week 16 versus the Jets, but he's out of elevations, so the Saints would need to sign Smyth to their active roster in order for him to be active on gameday. If New Orleans decides against doing so, Cade York -- who is currently on the club's practice squad -- would likely get an opportunity.
