After avoiding naming a starting QB all week, Matt Nagy confirmed it’ll be Mitchell Trubisky under center vs. Packers.

According to ESPN NFL reporter Adam Schefter, the game between the Steelers and Ravens has been moved yet again. This is the second attempt by the league to change the date of this game to accommodate the Ravens who completely botched their COVID-19 protocols. This scenario can only benefit the Ravens who have over a dozen players and staff positive including starting quarterback Lamar Jackson and surely more positive tests are on the way

As poorly as things have gone for the Chicago Bears over the last month, they have a chance to close November by getting right back in the thick of the NFC North race. If the Bears don’t capitalize on the opportunity, the Green Bay Packers will head into December well on their way to clinching a second straight division title. Chicago (5-5) has lost four straight and trails the Packers (7-3) by two games as the teams renew the NFL’s oldest rivalry Sunday night at Green Bay.

When Dalvin Cook arrived in Minnesota in 2017, the Vikings assigned him a cubicle at the practice facility next to a player recovering from injury who wasn’t certain to see the field again. Teddy Bridgewater became Cook’s fast friend in that corner of the locker room, with unconditional support from a fellow native of Miami who could relate to being so far from home. ”He put it all on a platter and just laid it on the line for me of how to be a pro, how to handle your business, how to go to meetings, everything,” said Cook, who tore his ACL in his fourth NFL game.

Baltimore is mired in a COVID-19 outbreak. Common sense would suggest its rescheduled game vs. Pittsburgh can’t happen. But science suggests it could.

Cowboys coach Mike McCarthy will face questions about his decision-making after two fourth-down attempts blew up in his face.

That — and [more]

The Dallas Cowboys entered the week hopeful they had turned the corner. Following a 31-28 Week 11 victory over the surging Minnesota Vikings, the club thought they may have solved their issues. It turns out that wasn’t the case. That wasn’t the case …

The Houston Texans took care of business against the Detroit Lions on Thanksgiving to get the win. Here is everything we know from Week 12.

The Titans and Colts released an estimated injury report on Thursday.

Green Bay Packers reserve defensive lineman Montravius Adams is expected to miss the rest of the season because of a toe injury. The Packers placed Adams on injured reserve Wednesday, a move that requires him to sit out at least three games. Packers coach Matt LaFleur said Thursday he doesn’t expect Adams to return this season.

Denver Broncos No. 3 quarterback Jeff Driskel was placed on the COVID-19 list Thursday but contact tracing showed starter Drew Lock and the Broncos’ other QBs weren’t in danger of being infected by the coronavirus.

Tagovailoa was sacked six times before being pulled in the fourth quarter of the Dolphins’ loss last weekend at Denver, but he remains the No. 1 quarterback ahead of veteran Ryan Fitzpatrick.

The Los Angeles Rams have placed leading tackler Micah Kiser on injured reserve. The Rams’ starting middle linebacker will be sidelined for at least three weeks after the move made Thursday. Kiser injured his knee late in the Rams’ 27-24 victory at Tampa Bay last Monday night, coach Sean McVay said.

Sergio Castillo had the same dream a few times every year since sixth grade. The New York Jets kicker is on the field at a stadium when he looks into the stands and sees his mother and future girlfriend in the stands cheering him on. Castillo never told anyone about his repeated visions until he wrote two letters while flying to Kansas City for his second NFL game to play the Chiefs on Nov. 1.
