Re: NFL Players News and Weather Week 13

Drew Lock, Blake Bortles, and Brett Rypien tested negative for COVID-19 and have been cleared to return to the team.
All three signal callers missed Week 12 after contract tracing showed they were not wearing masks around QB Jeff Driskel, who tested positive for the virus.

Re: NFL Players News and Weather Week 13

Tua Tagovailoa (thumb) is practicing Wednesday.
Tua practiced on a limited basis last week before getting downgraded to out. There were reports he would miss multiple games, but the Dolphins are optimistic he can return Sunday.

Re: NFL Players News and Weather Week 13

Colts activated RB Jonathan Taylor from the reserve/COVID-19 list.
Taylor missed Week 12 after he was ruled a high-risk close contact. Getting activated means he should play in Sunday's game with the Texans.

Julio Jones (hamstring) practiced on a limited basis Wednesday.
Jones practiced on a limited basis last week before he was ruled out. He has a better chance to play this week, but hamstring injuries are prone to setbacks.

Todd Gurley (knee) returned to practice Wednesday.
Gurley will be limited to individual drills after he missed practice all last week. This puts him on track to play Sunday if he can avoid setbacks.

Re: NFL Players News and Weather Week 13

Vikings coach Mike Zimmer expects Adam Thielen (reserve/COVID-19) to play in Week 13 against the Jaguars.
The Vikings held out Thielen despite a false positive test last week. He'll come off the COVID list and should return after missing only one game.

Daniel Jones (hamstring) is not practicing Wednesday.
As expected. Colt McCoy is getting the first-team reps and will make the Week 13 start.

Re: NFL Players News and Weather Week 13

Nelson Agholor was sidelined on Wednesday with an ankle injury.

Josh Jacobs was held out of Wednesday's practice with an ankle injury.
On Monday we were told that Jacobs' injury "looked worse than it is" after seeing just seven carries for 27 yards. RapSheet suggested there is a chance that Jacobs does play against the Jets in Week 13, but missing the first practice of the week is a pessimistic start to his availability.

Re: NFL Players News and Weather Week 13

Ravens head coach John Harbaugh wouldn't say whether Lamar Jackson (COVID-19) will be available for Week 13 against Dallas.

Julio Jones (hamstring) was downgraded to "DNP" for Thursday's practice.
This could be part of a plan to limit Jones' reps after he sat in Week 12, but mid-week downgrades are never good news. Jones is now appearing doubtful to suit up for Sunday's rematch with the Saints.

Re: NFL Players News and Weather Week 13

Josh Jacobs (ankle) won't play in Week 13 against the Jets.
It was trending this way throughout the week since Jacobs was unable to get on the field for any amount of practice.

Re: NFL Players News and Weather Week 13

Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said Chris Carson (foot) and Carlos Hyde (toe) will play in Week 13 against the Giants.
There were serious questions about Hyde's availability since he was downgraded to a DNP on Thursday.
