Isiah Pacheco injury update: Latest status report, news for Chiefs RB

#Chiefs RB Isiah Pacheco is dealing with a fibula injury. Here are the latest updates.

Kansas City Chiefs running back Isiah Pacheco has been sidelined since Week 2 due to a fibula injury.

In his absence, veteran rusher Kareem Hunt has stepped up to lead Kansas City’s ground game.

Could Pacheco make his return to the field in the Chiefs’ Week 12 matchup against the Carolina Panthers?

Isiah Pacheco injury update

Pacheco was a limited participant in Kansas City’s Wednesday practice session. He was listed with an ankle injury, and seems like a long-shot to see the field when the Chiefs face Carolina on Sunday.

How long will Isiah Pacheco be out?

It is unclear when Andy Reid intends to get Pacheco back to action, but given Hunt’s outstanding performance as Kansas City’s lead back, it is unlikely that he will be rushed back into the starting lineup.

With Pacheco sidelined, the Chiefs have relied on Hunt, Carson Steele, and Samaje Perine to lead their ground game. Former first-round pick Clyde Edwards-Helaire is also available to pitch in if needed.

Will Bryan Cook status report: Latest injury news, update for Chiefs DB

#Chiefs safety Bryan Cook is dealing with a rib injury. Here are the latest updates.

The Kansas City Chiefs have added their starting safety Bryan Cook to their Week 12 injury report.

He is an important piece of the Chiefs’ defense, but will he be available when Kansas City faces off against the Carolina Panthers on Sunday, November 24?

Bryan Cook injury update

Cook is dealing with a rib injury, there are no details on the severity, but he was a full participant in the Chiefs’ practice session on Wednesday in preparation for the Panthers.

How long will Bryan Cook be out?

Since Cook was not limited in practice it is expected that he will be available in Week 12. He should be able to play his starting role in Steve Spagnuolo’s defense when Kansas City visits Carolina.

Chiefs DB depth chart

Cook is expected to take the field on Sunday alongside Justin Reid, Jaden Hicks and Chamarri Conner.

If his availability changes, expect Spagnuolo to lean more on Christian Roland-Wallace against the Panthers.

Kareem Hunt injury report: Latest status updates for Chiefs RB

#Chiefs running back Kareem Hunt is dealing with a knee injury. Here are the latest updates.

Will this resurgent veteran, who is in his second stint with the Chiefs, be on the field when Kansas City plays the Carolina Panthers on Sunday afternoon?

Kareem Hunt injury update

Hunt has a knee injury that has kept him on the injury report for multiple weeks.

However, he has been a full participant in every practice recently, and it seems that his condition is improving.

How long will Kareem Hunt be out?

Hunt hasn’t missed any of the Chiefs’ games yet and the team hasn’t indicated that his status will change this week.

He is expected to continue being a leader in Andy Reid’s offense when Kansas City faces the Panthers on November 24.

Chiefs RB depth chart

Though Hunt is expected to start, there is no shortage of players to run the ball for the Chiefs while star back Isiah Pacheco remains on injured reserve.

Hunt will potentially have Samaje Perine, Carson Steele, and Clyde Edwards-Helaire available to back him up on Sunday.

Chamarri Conner injury update: Latest status report for Chiefs DB

#Chiefs DB Chamarri Conner is dealing with a thumb injury. Here are the latest updates.

Kansas City Chiefs defensive back Chamarri Conner is listed on the team’s first injury report for Week 12.

While the Chiefs lost to the Buffalo Bills in Week 11, Conner was a huge asset for Kansas City in the hotly-contested matchup, notching eight tackles and an interception in the game.

Will he be present to help stop the Carolina Panthers on Sunday?

Chamarri Conner injury update

Conner is listed with a thumb injury, but it didn’t stop him from being a full participant in the Chiefs’ practice session on Wednesday.

How long will Chamarri Conner be out?

Conner was a full participant in Kansas City’s drills on Wednesday, so it seems likely Conner won’t need to miss any time due to his injury. Stay tuned for the latest on his condition.

Chiefs DB depth chart

Conner is expected to be available for Sunday’s tilt against the Panthers. Should he need time off the field his backup is Christian Roland-Wallace, who has proven to be a more than capable defender in limited action this season.

What to know from Packers’ first injury report of Week 12 vs. 49ers

Things to know from the Packers’ first injury report before playing the 49ers in Week 12.

The Green Bay Packers released the team’s first injury report of Week 12 on Wednesday. The team will release two more injury reports, including a final injury report on Friday with official playing status designations before Sunday’s showdown with the San Francisco 49ers.

Here’s everything to know from the Packers’ first injury report of Week 12:

Who didn’t participate?

Only cornerback Jaire Alexander, who exited Sunday’s win over the Bears with a lingering knee injury. Coach Matt LaFleur said the Packers would give Alexander the week to see if he can get physically ready to play, but exiting Sunday and not participating Wednesday isn’t a good sign for his potential availability this week. Rookie running back MarShawn Lloyd did not participate Wednesday, but he was placed on the non-football illness list after needing an appendectomy.

Who returned to practice?

Defensive lineman Colby Wooden, who missed last week’s win with a shoulder injury, returned to practice in a limited capacity.

How is Jordan Love?

Officially healed. The Packers are no longer listing Love on the injury report. He practiced fully last week and looked more mobile and healthier overall in the win over the Bears.

Any new injuries to know?

Linebacker Edgerrin Cooper was limited Wednesday with a new hamstring injury, while running back Josh Jacobs added a calf injury and was also limited.

Who is still limited with injuries?

Jacobs (quad), defensive lineman Kenny Clark (toe), center Josh Myers (wrist), left tackle Rasheed Walker (knee) and safety Evan Williams (hamstring) were all limited on Wednesday with previous injuries. All five players played through the issues against the Bears last Sunday.

Who is no longer on the injury report?

Edge rusher Kingsley Enagbare is no longer listed. He had an elbow injury last week but practiced fully and had no restrictions against the Bears. Love was also removed, as noted above.

What’s to know from 49ers injury report?

The 49ers listed five players as non-participants on Wednesday, including defensive end Nick Bosa, who has hip and oblique injuries. That’s the one to watch for Packers fans. Bosa is a game-wrecker. Running back Christian McCaffrey got rest and left tackle Trent Williams didn’t practice with an ankle injury. Tight end George Kittle returned to practice in a limited capacity after missing last week with a hamstring injury — he’s convinced he’ll play Sunday. Quarterback Brock Purdy was limited with right shoulder soreness.

Former Steelers QB trolls Browns in hilarious fashion

Ben Roethlisberger keeps his rivalry with Cleveland alive, confidently predicting a Steelers victory over the Browns in Week 12.

Even in his retirement, former Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger continues to show Cleveland why he still owns the Browns. On his podcast, Footbahlin with Ben Roethlisberger, his co-host Spencer Te’o asked the legendary Pittsburgh QB to share his thoughts on the Browns-Saints Week 11 results.

Roethlisberger quickly gave credit to Browns QB Jameis Winston for nearly throwing for 400 yards but immediately shifted to roasting the Cleveland defense: “That sounds great, but I think the Browns’ defense gave up 200-plus, almost 300 yards rushing, made Taysom Hill look like Bo Jackson.”

Big Ben continued his roast of Cleveland, stating that the NFL might as well just give the Steelers the win automatically before their Week 12 matchup with the Browns on Thursday Night Football. Roethlisberger stated, “We don’t even need to play the game Thursday, really, to be honest.”

In what is shaping up to be a complete mismatch, Roethlisberger has the utmost confidence in his 8-2 Pittsburgh Steelers to defeat the 2-8 Cleveland Browns in this week’s Thursday Night Football on November 21 at 8:15 PM EST.

Top reactions: Daniel Jones listed as QB4 on Giants’ depth chart

See what football fans on Twitter had to say when the New York #Giants listed Daniel Jones as QB4 on their depth chart this week.

The New York Giants are in the midst of a brutal season and decided to bench starting quarterback Daniel Jones as they look to the future.

Jones has become something of a scapegoat in New York throughout the Giants’ abysmal 2024 campaign. While he bears some responsibility for the team’s struggles, Jones seems to take all of the heat from fans in the Big Apple when it comes to New York’s 2-8 record.

On Wednesday, Jones was listed as QB4 on the Giants’ depth chart as New York’s coaching staff cleared the way for fan-favorite backup Tommy DeVito to start against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 12.

The Giants needed to make some kind of change after their woeful start to the season, and this move sends a clear message to the New York faithful that a shake-up is in order.

Announcers set for Chiefs vs. Panthers Week 12 game

See which broadcasters will be calling the Kansas City #Chiefs’ Week 12 matchup against the Carolina #Panthers on Sunday, November 24.

In Week 12, the Kansas City Chiefs (9-1) are heading to visit the Carolina Panthers (3-7) in hopes of beginning a new winning streak after their loss Week 11 when the Buffalo Bills (9-2) ended their nine-game streak that kicked off the season.

Sunday’s Week 12 tilt is scheduled to air on CBS with kickoff taking place at 12:00 p.m. CT. Ian Eagle (play-by-play) and Charles Davis (analyst) will be the commentators calling the game for fans watching on TV.

The Chiefs were competitive against the Bills last week however some notable failures by the team led to a 30-21 loss to end the hopes of a perfect season for Kansas City. Allowing Buffalo to score two touchdowns in the fourth quarter ensured the Chiefs’ first defeat.

Fortunately for Kansas City, the Panthers look to be a much easier club than the Bills. If the Chiefs play the way did while they were on the winning streak, they look good to finish it ahead by two touchdowns.

Mike Tomlin ecstatic Baltimore let Patrick Queen hit free agency

Mike Tomlin shares his thoughts on Patrick Queen following the Steelers’ Week 11 win, highlighting his value to the team.

In the post-game press conference following the Pittsburgh Steelers’ Week 11 victory over the Baltimore Ravens, Head Coach Mike Tomlin was asked his opinion on former Raven and current Steelers LB Patrick Queen. Tomlin kept it short and sweet, explaining: “One man’s trash is another man’s treasure. Man, I am glad he is on our team.”

Queen, who left Baltimore after the team allowed him to hit free agency in the 2024 offseason, had a fantastic outing against the Ravens, providing much-needed run support against the one of the best rushing offenses in the NFL.

Heading into Week 11, much discussion surrounded Queen’s potential in the revenge game against his former team, and the Steelers LB did not disappoint.

While Queen had his ups and downs to start the season, no one can deny the consecutive elite performances he delivered in Weeks 10 and 11.

Queen will look to keep his red-hot momentum rolling as his team faces a short week due to the Cleveland Browns in Week 12’s Thursday Night Football game.

Browns’ Myles Garrett discusses T.J Watt’s 2023 D.P.O.Y. snub

Myles Garrett, T.J. Watt, Pittsburgh Steelers, Cleveland Browns, NFL, Week 12, Thursday Night Football, Defensive Player of the Year, American football, Timely, Sports news

Be careful what you wish Cleveland!  While to many it seems unwise to provoke T.J. Watt just days before facing off against him, that is exactly what the Browns did. Speaking to reporters during Tuesday’s media availability, the 2023 D.P.O.Y. award winner, Myles Garrett, was asked to comment on Watt’s less-than-enthusiastic reaction to being snubbed from winning the award after a spectacular performance last season.

Garrett, known for his issues with Pittsburgh in the past, wasted no time taking a subtle jab at Watt, stating, “I’ve never complained about the trophy not being in my house, and vice versa. He shouldn’t be feeling two ways about it going to me.”

Watt’s league-leading 19 sacks should have been more than enough to secure the award in 2023, but one thing the Browns’ edge rusher said rings true: T.J. will have every opportunity this week, when his team takes on Cleveland, to silence the doubters once again.

Garrett’s comments and challenge to Watt will surely only lead to Cleveland’s demise in Week 12, as the Steelers take on the Browns in this week’s Thursday Night Football game at 8:15 PM EST.
