A.J. Dillon has cleared concussion protocol, Matt LaFleur says.

Related players: Aaron Jones

Dillon has four TDs over his last three games and has 8, 18 and 11 carries in that same span to go along with three catches in each game as well. The Packers still have an outside shot at making the playoffs and will need another win this week, on Christmas Day, in Miami. It's good news for Dillon owners, and it looks like he'll play so owners can save a spot in lineups if they were counting on him. Keep in mind most games this week are on Christmas Eve.

Packers injury update: RB A.J. Dillon is being evaluated for a concussion.

Jones and Dillon ran all over the Rams, which included three TDs in the win - two of which came from Dillon. We'll have to see Dillon's status going forward this week leading up to Week 16's games, which is Christmas Day at Miami. After being unplayable in lineups this season, Dillon has turned it on a bit over the last few weeks. However he may be risky to wait on for owners as most of Week 16's games are Saturday.

Raiders RB Josh Jacobs – listed as questionable with quad and calf injuries – is expected to play tonight against the #Rams, per sources. Jacobs has an NFL-high 1,634 yards from scrimmage and will look to pad his lead against a depleted Rams defense without Aaron Donald (ankle).

Despite the questionable tag, Jacobs must be plugged into all fantasy lineups. This could enter blowout territory if the Rams really plan to start Baker Mayfield on the other side, so Ameer Abdullah can be considered in deep leagues for desperate managers.

Packers’ QB Aaron Rodgers is off the injury report and set to square off vs. Justin Fields.

The Bears defense sets up well for any quarterback, let alone Aaron Rodgers, who has a history of carving them up throughout his career. He is in play as a QB1 for Week 13

Head coach John Harbaugh confirmed Marcus Williams (wrist) and J.K. Dobbins (knee) won’t play Sunday, but next week should be a consideration for both.

The struggle to see the field for Dobbins continues, though it seems there may be a light at the end of the tunnel. It may be too late for fantasy purposes, but he would be an interesting stash for the playoff run, in case he somehow becomes the lead back we've been waiting two years for him to become.

Aaron Rodgers said he understands that a conversation will almost certainly be had about his status for the remainder of the season.

That's in large part because of Jordan Love, the third-year backup quarterback who hasn't played much meaningful football in his career. He showed some promise in relief of Rodgers after he left Sunday's game against the Eagles because of the rib injury.

Rodgers said he'd love to finish out the season but understands, "this is a business and there's a lot of us kind of older guys who play a decent amount and they might want to see some younger guys play." He said if the conversation comes up he'd, "approach that with an open mind and without any bitterness or resentment." The Packers are 4-8 and hope is fading fast for a playoff berth.

Ravens running back J.K. Dobbins, left tackle Ronnie Stanley and rookie safety Kyle Hamilton returned to practice Wednesday.

Dobbins, who was placed on injured reserve Oct. 22 after undergoing arthroscopic knee surgery, has been designated to return from IR. He can be activated to the Ravens’ 53-man roster at any point over the next 21 days. Dobbins, who suffered a significant knee injury last preseason, has 35 carries for 123 yards and a touchdown this year. It will be a crowded backfield upon his return. Edwards led the way last week when he returned from his injury, and when Edwards was out, it was Drake.

Aaron Rodgers on the Pat McAfee Show: "I plan on playing this week.”

“I got good news with the scans yesterday," the tweet on to quote Rodgers. The team has said all along they would start Rodgers assuming he's good enough to play. We know we can't always count on what a player says about his own health, but it appears Rodgers could be on track to go in Week 13 in a good matchup against the Bears. Depending on what else we learn about the injury, owners will have to at least think about the possibility of Rodgers reaggravating the injury if he does play.

Raiders RB Josh Jacobs hopes [to play] Sunday against the Chargers.

Jacobs was dealing with an ankle injury heading into Week 12 before running all over the Seahawks. Now dealing with a calf injury, Jacobs is not expected to practice much, if at all, this week because of the calf strain, Pelissero said in his tweet. Pelissero added Jacobs will get around-the-clock treatment. If he can't go, White and Abdullah would likely split up the workload.
