Running back Joe Mixon of the Cincinnati Bengals missed last week's victory against the Tennessee Titans because of a concussion, and he might not play against the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday. As of Sunday morning, according to NFL Media, Mixon had not emerged from the concussion protocol. According to reports, he is unlikely to play.

Due to the concussion protocol, Mixon has been a limited participant in practise this week and is now listed as questionable to play. Samaje Perine will once more start at running back in the event that Mixon is unable to play on Sunday.
In the 20-16 victory over the Titans on Sunday, Perine stood out with 17 carries for 58 yards and a touchdown in addition to four receptions for 35 yards. When Mixon suffered a concussion in Week 11's game against the Pittsburgh Steelers, Perine filled in and caught three touchdown passes as the team eventually won 37-30.
Mixon has eight touchdowns in his last 10 games played while averaging 60.5 running yards per game. Although the Bengals would undoubtedly like to have him for this crucial AFC matchup, it appears like he will most likely sit out.
While Mixon's availability is uncertain, Bengals star wideout Ja'Marr Chase will be back in the lineup after missing the last four contests with a hip injury. For Cincinnati, the firepower is still available.
Before his first game after serving his sentence, Texans supporters booed Deshaun Watson of the Browns.
Watson joins the Browns following an 11-game suspension.
Deshaun Watson, the quarterback for the Cleveland Browns, onto the field on Sunday for his first regular-season game in 700 days, but the home crowd was not the most welcoming. The Texans, Watson's old team, are his opponents, and the Houston supporters let him know it.
Following many complaints of sexual misbehaviour from massage therapists, the NFL penalised quarterback Deshaun Watson by suspending him for 11 games and fining him $5 million. Watson was the target of 26 civil cases in total; 23 of them were settled, one was dismissed, and two are still pending. In total, Watson was involved in 26 civil litigation, of which 23 were settled and 2 were still outstanding.
Watson also consented to adhere to a treatment strategy developed by qualified behavioural specialists. His behavioural therapeutic team has urged him not to discuss his recovery and treatment plan, although league sources claim "he has made improvement."
Watson has only occasionally addressed the allegations, but when he did, he said "I want to express my sincere regret to all the women who were affected by my actions. I would definitely like the life choices I made that led me to this situation back. I want to keep going forward, developing, learning, and demonstrating my true nature."
He insists on his innocence and denies ever sexually abusing anyone.
The Cowboys helmet will have a different appearance tonight with the unusual red stripe being worn on it for for the second time in 46 years.
The Cowboys will alter their helmet for the third time this season, and this time they'll go with a design that they've only ever used twice in the last 46 years.
Dallas will have a red stripe on its helmet when it takes the field against Indianapolis on Sunday night. Normally, the Cowboys' helmet has two blue stripes on either side of a white stripe down the middle, but during the game against the Colts, one of those blue stripes will be red.
Since Sunday's game is a Salute to Service contest, the Cowboys will don the complete "red, white, and blue" ensemble. In addition to adding the extra stripe, the squad will also present 17 Medal of Honor honorees with awards during the game.
The Cowboys will only have worn the red stripe on their helmet once since 1976, during the game against the Colts. To celebrate America's bicentennial, the Cowboys really wore the red stripe throughout the whole 1976 season. However, after that, they didn't wear the stripe again until a November game against the Broncos last year.
In addition, the whole offensive line will be sporting cleats to support the National Medal of Honor Museum Foundation on Salute to Service night. The cleats will be worn by roughly 50 people, including coaches and Cowboys guard Zack Martin.
The whole offensive line will wear cleats to support the National Medal of Honor Museum Foundation as part of the Salute to Service night. Guard Zack Martin of the Cowboys is one of almost 50 individuals, including coaches. Martin told the Dallas Morning News on Thursday that the offensive line as a whole "felt it would be pretty wonderful to commemorate those recipients." "It's truly humbling. I just had the chance to meet Medal of Honor recipient "Flo" (retired U.S. Army Capt. Florent Groberg). It just seems so cool to me. Many people, in my opinion, do not comprehend the sacrifice that these men have made.
in whose shoes the cleats will be used.
The red stripe on the Cowboys' helmets this season is their third distinct design overall. The Cowboys also donned a white helmet on Thanksgiving in addition to their regular one.
The Cowboys will debut a new look in Week 17 when they don their arctic white helmets for the first time.
Deshaun Watson of the Browns "has made progress" in his therapy
Deshaun Watson makes his first start for the Browns following an 11-game suspension, but many questions remain.
On the advice of his legal team and clinical team, Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson declined to answer any non-football-related questions when he spoke to media on the record on Thursday for the first time since before his 11-game ban started.
In fact, sources confirm to CBS Sports that Watson's behavioural clinical team had advised him not to discuss his treatment plan or rehabilitation. The NFL and its specialists have been informed that "he has made progress" in the programme, despite the fact that the precises of his programme are protected medical information, according to a league source.
Today against his old team, the Houston Texans, Watson will play in his first game of the year. Watson, the NFL Players Association, and the NFL came to an agreement in August under which he would receive an 11-game suspension, a $5 million fine, and treatment requirements.
The NFL urged Watson to receive the required behavioural treatment provided by licenced clinicians. According to a league source, this differs from therapy in that it aims to assist people in realising they harmed others with their acts and in altering their conduct so they don't do it again in the future.
Massage therapists frequently accused Watson of sexual misconduct. Watson was the target of 26 civil cases in total; 23 of them were settled, one was dismissed, and two are still pending. Police never filed any criminal charges against Watson, and earlier this year, two grand juries decided not to indict him.
The league spent weeks looking for a qualified evaluator who had expertise and understood the nuances and complexity of this particular issue in cooperation with the NFL Players Association. The evaluation was conducted soon after the settlement was reached, and based on its results, the evaluator created a treatment plan that would be implemented by medical professionals in the Cleveland region.
HIPAA protects that strategy, but according to a source, general updates are and have been sent to the medical staff of the league and union. It is still true, though it's not known for how long, that treatment would continue once the suspension was removed, as CBS Sports reported earlier in the season.
Watson, who agreed to a $230 million fully guaranteed contract with the Browns this summer, has only made a handful of public appearances since the allegations initially surfaced.
In an interview on August 12, Watson appeared to express some remorse while avoiding making an admission of guilt.
Watson stated, "I want to express that I'm sincerely sorry to all the women I've affected in a circumstance. "I would definitely like the life choices I made that led me to this situation back. I want to keep going forward, developing, learning, and demonstrating my true nature."
But he seemed to retract his statements less than a week later. His Aug. 18 press conference, which occurred almost immediately after the settlement terms were revealed, was dubbed "disappointing" for the league by one source.
Watson declared in August, "I've always stood on my innocence and always stated I never assaulted or disrespected anyone, and I'm continuing to stand on that.
The league office was disappointed, but there was also hope that Watson's treatment might improve. According to a league source, Watson may not be able to admit to certain things even if he wanted to because of two ongoing legal matters, but there is still room for him to demonstrate accountability, growth, and learning.
Many people have wondered why now as he gets ready to return on Sunday. Did the league not realise the Browns' 12th game will be against Watson's old team in Houston? Or, as many have speculated, did the league do this to boost its ratings?
According to league insiders, the game's potential ratings had no impact. Three months before the settlement was actually achieved, the schedule was made public. According to sources, the game would never have been moved to a primetime slot, and the CBS broadcast of the Browns-Texans game will be viewed almost entirely in the Cleveland and Houston regions.
According to sources, each of the 11 games under the ban involved negotiations. The NFLPA first campaigned for a zero-game punishment, while the league initially requested an indefinite ban of at least a year. His "pattern of conduct more heinous than any before evaluated by the NFL," according to retired judge Sue L. Robinson, who was appointed by the league and union to serve as the disciplinary officer, resulted in a six-game ban.
The NFL launched its right to appeal, and commissioner Roger Goodell named former New Jersey attorney general Peter Harvey to hear the appeal. Watson, the union, and the NFL agreed to the six-game punishment. At that moment, the parties started seriously discussing a settlement. 11 1/2 games is the midpoint between a complete year of 17 games and six games.
In other words, the league decided to play 11 games because other factors were more crucial. I'm informed that the longer it took to settle the dispute over a further game or two, the longer it took to start Watson on a treatment plan.
Instead of the league imposing its own extended suspension of at least a year, the league and union were able to come to an arrangement. A drawn-out legal battle that would postpone treatment would be a legitimate response from Watson and the union. Accepting a compromise that got Watson into treatment right away was considered worthwhile if the goal was for lessons to be finally learnt.
On Thursday, a reporter questioned Watson about if he intended to ever respond to inquiries unrelated to football and provide his perspective.
Watson responded, "At this moment, I can't address any of those material. "Who knows what lies ahead? I'm currently fixated on being the Cleveland Browns' starting quarterback."
According to sources, Joe Mixon is doubtful to play against the Chiefs in NFL Week 13 while Josh Jacobs is expected to be ready.
Your one-stop shop for injury news for every team
The NFL is in December, so each game is more important as clubs compete for playoff placement. AFC Championship rematch between the Bengals and Chiefs and potential Super Bowl preview between the Dolphins and 49ers are just two of the games that will undoubtedly have a playoff vibe in Week 13.
As usual, injuries are a major plot point heading into this weekend's games, especially in the two mentioned above. The Bengals are hoping that Joe Mixon and Ja'Marr Chase will be able to play in the crucial game on Sunday.
However, given that he is still in concussion protocol, the latter is quite improbable. WR Deebo, an All-Pro with the 49ers Samuel's health has also been in doubt this week due to a quadriceps ailment, but Jeff Darlington reports that he will play against the Dolphins.
In other contests, Bears quarterback Justin Fields, who missed Chicago's previous contest due to a shoulder injury, began full practise this week. Aaron Rodgers, the quarterback for the Packers, will face him on Sunday despite having ailments to both his thumb and abdomen.
Here is a glance at the complete injury report for each NFL team before Sunday's games, along with those injuries. The following lists will be updated, so check back often for the most recent information on player injuries.
Given the Steelers' 1-10 record without the current Defensive Player of the Year in the lineup, Watt's absence would be a significant one. Positive news for Pittsburgh came in the form of running back Najee Harris being removed from the injury report after departing Monday night's victory over Indianapolis early due to an oblique injury. He will play in the contest with Atlanta.
For its home game on Sunday, Atlanta is in rather good health. After both being restricted throughout the practises on Thursday and Friday, Ebiketie and Dalton appear increasingly likely to play. Edoga, who was limited on Wednesday but did not practise Thursday or Friday, cannot be claimed to have experienced the same.
After the left tackle believed Bakhtiari had injured his abdomen, Bakhtiari underwent an emergency appendectomy and will miss the game on Sunday. Doubs is out, Campbell hasn't played since Week 9, and Campbell hasn't played since Week 8. All week, each had a limited practise schedule. Savage didn't work out during the week. Starter will be Aaron Rodgers.
Justin Fields, who participated fully in the final two practises of the week, will be back on the field for Chicago. The placement of wide receiver Darnell Mooney (ankle) and safety Eddie Jackson (Lisfranc) on injured reserve earlier this week brought sad news to Bears supporters.
Trevor Siemian, who suffered an oblique injury during warm-ups last week but was still able to play, will have season-ending surgery, according to Bears coach Matt Eberflus, who made the announcement to media on Friday.
After being marked as dubious, Etienne is now cleared to proceed. Coach Doug Peterson of the Jaguars was confident that his second-year running back could participate. Peterson is less upbeat about Henderson and predicts that he won't play on Sunday.
With only two players ruled out, this Lions injury report may be the finest of the season. Guard Jonah Jackson and cornerback Jeff Okudah, who had been sidelined by recent concussions, were given the all-clear to participate this week. Jameson Williams, a wide receiver, has returned from injury reserve.
Carter is no longer an option. However, considering that the Jets' starting tackles are both injured, James Robinson might be playing behind an offensive line that has undergone significant changes. If Brown and Ogbuehi are unable to participate, Mike Remmers and Max Mitchell will take the field. Remmers has made 90 starts during his ten years of experience. In his first year, Mitchell has already made four starts.
Blake Brandel will make his second start in as many weeks while Darrisaw is sidelined. Brandel, a sixth-round selection in the 2020 NFL Draft, participated in every offensive snap for the Vikings during their 33-26 victory over the Patriots on Thanksgiving.
Young was declared inactive Sunday against the Giants, so his season debut won't be until at least Week 15. The squad is approaching its bye week, and Young was restricted all week. Gibson will play despite being limited on Friday and skipping practise on Thursday.
The Giants are dealing with a long list of injuries going into the crucial divisional matchup on Sunday. One of the positions the Giants have suffered injuries at is receiver. Despite Kenny Golladay's illness, Darius Slayton is able to play.
Given that Simmons hadn't practised all week until Friday, the Titans will be under close observation on Sunday. He has been recovering from an ankle injury and has been rated as questionable five times in the last six weeks. When he was in doubt the other four occasions, Simmons wound up playing. The Titans must decide this week whether to keep Caleb Shudak on the roster if Randy Bullock, who missed the last two games due to a calf issue, is healthy.
Gardner-absence Johnson's for the Eagles comes as no surprise, but Quinn's knee injury caught everyone off guard. Quinn had been in good health up until Friday. This weekend, the Eagles may possibly activate Jordan Davis (ankle) from injured reserve.
Due to Hamler and Jeudy not being on the inactive list, the Broncos won't have as many wide receivers available on Sunday. Sutton is active against Baltimore despite missing all of this week's practises due to illness.
The Ravens, who are lacking in the secondary, will be without Marcus Williams this week. Humphrey's participation is still up in the air, but Peters wasn't listed as injured. This week was a "ramp-up period" for the running back, according to head coach John Harbaugh, so there was no J.K. Dobbins either.
Cooks' calf ailment that kept him out of practise on Thursday also prevented him from playing on Sunday. Houston will rely on Chris Moore, Nico Collins, and Phillip Dorsett to fill the vacancy. Currently, according to Texans head coach Lovie Smith, Stingley's injury is "minor."
Despite numerous players being sick and missing practise this week, the Seahawks are in quite good shape going into this game. Abraham Lucas, an offensive tackle, is expected to play despite having a knee ailment.
Donald will miss the Rams' game on Sunday after suffering his first career injury. Stafford will not play at quarterback for the second consecutive game, so John Wolford will get the start. Bryce Perkins could play a few snaps, according to Rams head coach Sean McVay. While offensive lineman Ty Nsekhe (ankle) was not given an injury designation, Hill is a game-time decision.
Jeff Saturday, the Colts' interim head coach, described Moore as "week to week." Moore and Smith will be replaced in the starting lineup by Tony Brown and Dennis Kelly, respectively. Brown, a veteran of four seasons, registered his first career sack earlier this year. Kelly, a veteran of 11 seasons who has previously played in Green Bay, Tennessee, and Philadelphia, has made 53 career starts.
The Cowboys battled illness all week, and Gallup and Diggs only partially resumed practise on Friday. They should feel better by Sunday night, but we'll find out on Sunday. Terrence Steele (personal) is eligible to compete despite having no listed injuries.
Draft-pick compensation for the trades involving Carson Wentz and Baker Mayfield is essentially set.
Both quarterbacks won't play enough snaps for their new clubs to achieve the 70% mark.
As we move forward in Week 13 of the season, the draft-pick compensation in trades for two previous franchise quarterbacks is essentially a given.
The conditional picks included in the deals of Carson Wentz and Baker Mayfield this offseason dependent on the quarterbacks involved playing at least 70% of their respective teams' snaps. Both quarterbacks are now mathematically unlikely to reach that total in the regular season after 12 games, which means their former teams won't benefit as much in the draught next spring.
This offseason, the Commanders acquired Wentz and his contract from Indianapolis in exchange for a third-round pick and a conditional third-round pick that, if Wentz plays 70% of the snaps, could become a second-round pick. (The teams also exchanged second-round picks for 2022.)
Pro Football Reference records 834 offensive snaps for the Commanders thus far this year. 422 of those snaps have seen Wentz participate. Wentz would need to play nearly six full games in order to account for 70% of the team's snap total for 2022 if the team averages about 70 snaps per game as it has in the team's previous 12 contests. Taylor Heinicke will get the start against the Giants on Sunday for Washington, which has just five games left.
One Commanders source recently denied that the choice to maintain Heinicke as the starter had anything to do with the draft-pick compensation, saying, "That had nothing to do with it." The Commanders are in the middle of a playoff push in the tight-knit NFC East, and they won't let the possibility of a third-round pick turning into a second-round pick dictate their strategy.
When the Panthers acquired Mayfield, they sent Cleveland a conditional fifth-round pick in 2024 that, if Mayfield participated in at least 70% of the snaps, could be upgraded to a fourth-round pick.
The former first-round choice has been benched twice already this year, and when Carolina returns from its bye next week and plays the Seattle Seahawks, he'll probably be third on the depth chart.
According to Pro Football Reference, Mayfield has participated in 372 of the 705 offensive snaps for Carolina this season. Carolina only has five games left, so at that rate, he would need to play in around five and a half games to achieve 70 percent.
What will happen to these two quarterbacks now? Wentz is more likely to return to the field in 2022, but both players are on track to play for separate teams in 2023.
In 2023, Mayfield won't be bound by a contract. In the first round of the draught, Carolina is almost certainly going to target a franchise quarterback. The Panthers selected Matt Corral in the third round of last year's draught, and if any of the three players are kept at all, they are more likely to keep Sam Darnold or P.J. Walker than Mayfield.
While the Commanders are 5-1 when Heinicke is the starter compared to Wentz's 2-4 record, Heinicke hasn't exactly been a world-beater in his six games. There is plenty to be said about how the squad improves with Heinicke as the starter. Heinicke's performance hasn't been outstanding enough for head coach Ron Rivera to rule out going back to Wentz in December, though.
Wentz's contract has no guaranteed money left, and the Commanders are free to release him this offseason without incurring a dead-cap penalty. Heinicke, a pending free agent, may be in line for a new contract in Washington depending on how the season goes. Sam Howell was also selected by Washington in the fifth round of the 2022 draught.
