Reich mentions next week's practices as critical in making a determination. If Mack is unable to suit up, it means more action for Jordan Wilkins, Nyheim Hines and Christine Michael. Robert Turbin in suspended and will not be able to play.

Pelissero said it's not yet clear if he’ll play Sunday against the Bills, but Ekeler will practice for the first time since a significant hamstring injury in Week 4. The designated for return tag means his 21-day window will open. Ballage has been running as the lead back but Ekeler would likely jump right into that role again, making Ballage and Kelley backups.

The thoughts by many seem to agree - if this was a normal Thursday game, it would be moved to Sunday at least, but it looks like the NFL is really trying not to cancel a prime time, Thanksgiving night game.
