The Eagles "fear" that RB Miles Sanders broke his hand in Sunday's win over the Giants, Pro Football Talk reports. Sanders is scheduled for additional testing on Monday, so we should have a better idea of his status then. With RB Jordan Howard dealing with a stinger, the Eagles could be down to RBs Boston Scott and Kenneth Gainwell against Washington next weekend.

Eagles RB Miles Sanders is questionable to return to today's game against the Giants with a hand injury. We'll watch for updates on his situation.

Update: Sanders has been ruled out for the game.

Vikings WR Adam Thielen left in the 1st half of Sunday's game against the Rams with a left-ankle injury. The team calls him questionable to return. Thielen missed the past 2 games with a high left ankle sprain, and his reaction to today's injury sure made it look like an aggravation of the existing issue. We'll see whether he can make it back -- and then see about his availability for Week 17.

Update: Thielen returned for the start of the 2nd half. We'll see how that ankle holds up.

Vikings WR Adam Thielen (ankle) is active for today’s game vs. the Rams. He’s 3 weeks removed from a high-ankle sprain and was limited in practice all week. Thielen’s fantasy floor is lower than usual today.

Vikings WR Adam Thielen (ankle) is expected to play vs. the Rams today, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Thielen was left off the final injury report on the Vikings' website, but he's evidently actually listed as questionable. Regardless, it sounds like he'll be available for Week 16 fantasy lineups. Thielen was limited in practice all week coming off the December 5 high-ankle sprain, so he brings a lower floor than usual.

Eagles RB Miles Sanders (quad) did not practice all week but isn’t listed on the final injury report. It looks like the team was just getting Sanders some rest after he carried 18 times in Tuesday night’s win over Washington. Unless we hear that Sanders’ quad is a concern, he’ll be a RB2 with upside in Sunday’s plus matchup vs. the Giants.

Vikings WR Adam Thielen (ankle) was limited in practice all week but isn’t listed on the final injury report. He’ll return for Sunday’s game vs. the Rams after missing the past 2. Thielen carries elevated risk in his 1st game back from a high-ankle sprain, but there’s plenty of upside here in a potential shootout.

Vikings WR Adam Thielen (ankle) remained limited in Thursday's practice. We'll see what he does tomorrow and how he's listed on the final injury report for Sunday's game vs. the Rams.

Eagles RB Miles Sanders (quad) remained sidelined for Thursday's practice. It's possible that Philly is just being cautious coming off Tuesday's night's win over Washington, but Sanders' status for Sunday's game vs. the Giants is at least in some doubt. His absence would leave Jordan Howard as the Eagles' likely lead back, with Boston Scott and Kenneth Gainwell behind him.

Vikings WR Adam Thielen (ankle) put in a limited practice on Wednesday. He reportedly had a chance to play vs. the Bears on Monday night, so we're tentatively expecting Thielen back for this weekend's game vs. the Rams.

Vikings WR Adam Thielen is inactive for tonight's game against the Bears. He was reportedly hoping to play, but the veteran didn't practice at all this week. We'll see about his chances for the Week 16 game against the Rams.

Vikings WR Adam Thielen (ankle) is listed as questionable for Monday night's game vs. the Bears. He didn't practice all week, though, so we'd be surprised if he played. Thielen should still be on fantasy benches right now. We'll let you know if we hear that he has a real chance to play on Monday.

Vikings WR Adam Thielen (ankle) missed practice again on Friday. He looks like a long shot to play vs. the Bears on Monday night, but we’ll get another update on his status on Saturday afternoon.

Eagles HC Nick Sirianni said Friday that RB Miles Sanders (ankle) and Jordan Howard (knee) will play vs. Washington. Both guys put in full practices on Friday, but we don’t have Philly’s final injury report yet because this game got moved to Tuesday. Sanders, Howard and Boston Scott all figure to be involved against The Football Team.

The Browns on Friday added DE Jadeveon Clowney to the COVID list after he tested positive. That will knock him out of Saturday's game against the Raiders. It's not clear who will fill in for Clowney, as the only DE remaining on the active roster is Myles Garrett. Porter Gustin, Joe Jackson and Curtis Weaver are candidates on the practice squad.

Vikings WR Adam Thielen (ankle) did not practice on Thursday. Recovering from a high-ankle sprain, he's unlikely to play vs. the Bears on Monday night. That'll keep K.J. Osborn in the WR3 mix.

Eagles RBs Miles Sanders (ankle) and Jordan Howard (knee) were limited in Wednesday's practice. Both guys appear on track to play vs. Washington this weekend. It'll likely be a 3-man committee backfield with Sanders, Howard and Boston Scott.

Texans LB Kamu Grugier-Hill left Sunday's game on a cart after suffering a right knee injury in the loss to the Seahawks. Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports that early tests reveal a sprain, though, rather than a more severe injury as initially feared. That would likely mean further missed time for Grugier-Hill but isn't believed to be season-ending. We'll see about his official return timeline. LB Neville Hewitt saw elevated playing time in Grugier-Hill's absence and figures to start in his place going forward. The team, of course, waived LB Zach Cunningham, who is now with the Titans.

Vikings WR Adam Thielen (ankle) is out for Thursday night's game against the Steelers. No surprise there. Reportedly dealing with a high-ankle sprain, Thielen figures to miss multiple games. K.J. Osborn will step in as Minnesota's #2 WR vs. Pittsburgh and is in the WR3 mix for Week 14.

Vikings WR Adam Thielen suffered a high-ankle sprain in Sunday's loss to the Lions, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. That usually means multiple missed games. Thielen will have further testing Monday to determine his return timeline. With Thielen out for most of the game, WR Justin Jefferson racked up 14 targets, TE Tyler Conklin 9 and WR K.J. Osborn 7. Conklin and Osborn will be in fantasy consideration as long as Thielen remains out. Minnesota gets just 3 days off before hosting the Steelers on Thursday night.
