Minshew will start at quarterback the remainder of the 2025 campaign for Kansas City after an MRI confirmed Monday that Patrick Mahomes (knee) suffered a season-ending ACL tear during Sunday's 16-13 loss to the Chargers.

Minshew entered Sunday's contest with 1:53 remaining in the fourth quarter, completing three of five throws for 22 yards with zero touchdowns and one interception in what amounted to his first pass attempts of the season. The veteran signal-caller will close out the Chiefs' final three games under center, with matchups looming on the road in Tennessee in Week 16, at home versus Denver in Week 17 and on the road in Las Vegas in Week 18. Minshew is playing out the season on a one-year contract, so if he's able to impress down the stretch it could improve his chances of re-signing with Kansas City. Across 10 appearances with the Raiders in 2024, Minshew completed 203 of 306 pass attempts for 2013 yards, nine touchdowns and 10 interceptions.

Minshew entered Sunday's 16-13 loss to the Chargers for an injured Patrick Mahomes (knee) with 1:53 remaining and completed three of five passes for 22 yards with no touchdowns and an interception.

After Mahomes suffered an injury near the right sideline on an incomplete pass on the first play following the two-minute warning, Minshew was summoned for emergency duty in his first taste of regular-season action in 2025. Minshew proceeded to keep the Chiefs' last-gasp drive alive with completions of 11 and eight yards to Travis Kelce and a three-yard connection to Rashee Rice. However, the veteran signal-caller eventually hung the ball up on his fifth pass attempt, and Derwin James cut underneath Kelce to grab the interception and officially eliminate Kansas City from postseason contention in the process. With Mahomes set to undergo an MRI, per Adam Schefter of ESPN, and head coach Andy Reid not expressing optimism about the severity of the injury, Minshew appears likely to serve as the Chiefs' starting quarterback over the final three games of the regular season.

Hall rushed 12 times for 23 yards and caught both of his targets for 14 yards in Sunday's 48-20 loss to the Jaguars.

Hall seemed bothered by the knee injury that cut into his practice participation during the week, and he was held to 44 or fewer rushing yards for the third time in four games. Isaiah Davis was the Jets' most effective running back in this lopsided loss, with a 24-yard touchdown run among his 58 rushing yards on nine carries. Hall's inching closer to the 1,000-yard mark on the ground, as he'll need exactly 100 rushing yards to get there in Week 16 at New Orleans.

Hall (knee) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game in Jacksonville, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Hall kicked off this week with no practice Wednesday due to a knee injury, but he progressed from limited Thursday to all activity Friday, clearing him to continue to lead the Jets backfield this weekend. Since the team's Week 9 bye, he's racked up 93 touches for 427 yards from scrimmage and two total TDs over the last five contests. With undrafted rookie QB Brady Cook set to start Sunday with Tyrod Taylor (groin) and Justin Fields (knee) unavailable, Hall could take on even more of the onus for New York's offense.

Hall (knee) was a limited participant at Thursday's practice, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Hall mixed into positional drills after missing practice Wednesday, but he didn't quite reach full participation Thursday. Nonetheless, Hall doesn't appear to be in danger of missing Sunday's game against the Jaguars, though his fantasy managers would gain peace of mind if Hall upgrades to full participation Friday and avoids an injury designation. Isaiah Davis is Hall's top backup.

The Steelers will sign Valdes-Scantling to the active roster for Monday's game against the Dolphins, Gerry Dulac of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Valdes-Scantling was expected to be elevated from the practice squad for a second time Monday, but Pittsburgh will instead add him to the 53-man squad, making him eligible to suit up for the remainder of the 2025 campaign. He was elevated for the team's Week 14 contest against the Ravens, in which he played 31 percent of the offensive snaps and failed to secure his only target. Valdes-Scantling doesn't stand to provide much fantasy value as the team's No. 4 receiver behind DK Metcalf, Adam Thielen and Calvin Austin.

Valdes-Scantling reverted to the Steelers' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

Valdes-Scantling was elevated to the active roster for the first time with Pittsburgh, failing to catch his only target in Sunday's 27-22 win over the Ravens. The wide receiver logged 16 offensive snaps, which was tied for third most at his position with Calvin Austin behind DK Metcalf (43) and Adam Thielen (25). Valdes-Scantling can be elevated two more times before the team would have to officially sign him to the active roster.

Valdes-Scantling is active for Sunday's game against the Ravens, Alan Saunders of SteelersNow.com reports.

Valdes-Scantling has been on Pittsburgh's practice squad since early November, and he'll make his team debut roughly one month later. He's likely to serve as the team's fourth receiver behind DK Metcalf, Adam Thielen and Calvin Austin, but he should still find himself on the field for plenty of snaps. While he's reunited with Aaron Rodgers, Valdes-Scantling isn't likely to make a fantasy impact.

Achane (ribs) does not have an injury designation for Monday's Week 15 game against Pittsburgh, C. Isaiah Smalls II of the Miami Herald reports.

Miami coach Mike McDaniel said earlier Saturday that he expected Achane to play Monday, and the star running back's lack of an injury designation on the team's final practice report makes that expectation a reality. In fact, Achane was able to practice in full Saturday after being limited the previous two days, so he may not have any restrictions (aside from possibly wearing some extra padding to protect his ribs). Achane could be primed for a big game against a Steelers defense that has given up the ninth-most rushing yards to running backs through 13 games this season and will be without star player T.J. Watt (lung).

Head coach Mike McDaniel told reporters Saturday that he expects Achane (ribs) to play against the Steelers on Monday, C. Isaiah Smalls II of the Miami Herald reports.

Achane was a limited practice participant Thursday and Friday while donning a red non-contact jersey in both sessions. Per Hal Habib of The Palm Beach Post, Achane is testing out different forms of equipment to protect his ribs, and while Saturday's injury report has yet to come out, the expectation is that the third-year running back suits up for Monday night's game. If Achane is unable to play or operates on a snap count, then Jaylen Wright and Ollie Gordon would be in line for expanded roles out of the backfield.

Achane (ribs) was a limited participant in Friday's practice, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.

Achane wore a red non-contact jersey at practice Friday, Joe Schad of The Palm Beach Post reports, but he appeared to be running at full speed without signs of discomfort. Per Hal Habib of The Palm Beach Post, the standout running back is testing forms of protective equipment he could use to guard his ribs during Monday's road matchup against the Steelers, while Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports that the Dolphins do expect Achane to be available Week 15. That said, after the impressive showing Jaylen Wright logged Week 14, Miami could opt to assign Achane less touches than his workhorse role usually entails, even if he's active. He'll have one final chance to handle contact reps at Saturday's practice.

Aubrey missed two of his six field-goals attempts and converted both his extra-point tries in Sunday's 34-26 loss to the Vikings. He also added six yards on his only carry.

The Cowboys engaged in a bit of trickery on their opening possession, as Aubrey ran for a first down on a fake field goal from the Minnesota 29-yard line, but the trick ultimately may have been on Dallas as the star kicker seemed a little off the rest of the night. It was the first time all season, and the first time in his career at home, that Aubrey had missed multiple FGs attempts in the same game -- both his previous games with multiple misses, Week 12 in 2024 and Week 18 in 2023, came outdoors in Washington. Aubrey has still booted at least three FGs in three straight games, and on the season he's second in the NFL in points with 133, behind only Seattle's Jason Myers (153).

Aubrey converted all five of his field-goal tries and his lone PAT in Thursday's Week 14 loss to the Lions.

Aubrey kept the Cowboys close for most of the game with his big leg. Among his field-goal makes were a 57-yarder in the first quarter, a 55-yarder in the second and a 63-yarder in the third. He now has six career field goals of 60-plus yards, the most in NFL history. Aubrey is 27-for-29 on FG tries and 28-of-29 on PATs this season.

Jones underwent surgery Tuesday to repair a torn right Achilles that he suffered in Week 14 against the Jaguars, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

The Colts placed Jones (Achilles) on injured reserve Tuesday, JJ Stankevitz of the team's official site reports.

Coach Shane Steichen confirmed Monday that Jones sustained a torn right Achilles during Sunday's loss to the Jaguars.

Pickens recorded three receptions on six targets for 33 yards in Sunday's 34-26 loss to the Vikings.

Pickens brought in five of nine targets for 37 yards in the Cowboys' 44-30 loss to the Lions on Thursday night.

Pickens (calf/knee) doesn't have a designation for Thursday's game at Detroit, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
