Bengals QB Joe Flacco dealing with shoulder injury

We’ll see how Jackson is listed on this week’s injury reports, but John Harbaugh said the plan is for Lamar Jackson to play against the Dolphins on Thursday night.

As the story points out, Jackson’s status for Sunday’s game against the Bears was a source of some confusion over the weekend. Jackson has missed the last three games with a hamstring injury, but he was back on the practice field last week. His participation level became an issue after the Ravens improperly listed him as a full participant before changing the designation to limited when they ruled him out on Saturday.

The Commanders have made a few moves on Monday to help replace their injured kicker.

Washington announced Matt Gay has been downgraded to out with a back injury. Because of that, the club signed kicker Matthew Wright to the practice squad and has elevated him for Monday’s matchup against the Chiefs.

Wright, 29, filled in for Joey Slye for one game with the Titans earlier this month. He has previously appeared in at least one game for the Chiefs, 49ers, Panthers, Steelers, and Jaguars, the story said.

Vikings QB Carson Wentz is undergoing season-ending surgery on his left shoulder. He will be placed on IR.

Wentz played multiple games with the injury, the post went on to say. As we reported earlier today, McCarthy is in line to return to practice and start for Minnesota in Week 9 against Detroit. Brosmer could become the team's QB2. The team is said to be high on Brosmer, but he's an undrafted rookie. The Vikings will likely bring in another QB.
