This is standard operating procedure with Canales during Monday pressers, Person went on to point out. Young was able to come back in the game so he should have a good chance to play in Week 12, which is a Monday night game at the 49ers. Unfortunately those who play Young in fantasy lineups will need to monitor this situation. Young is coming off a monster game in Week 11.

Browns rookie QB Dillon Gabriel remains in concussion protocol.

The post added that HC Kevin Stefanski said he will provide an update on Wednesday as it pertains to how the team is handling preparations for the Raiders. We all know by now it's tough for a player to clear protocol for the following week, so there is a pretty good chance Gabriel won't be able to play in Week 12. That means, Sanders would be in line to get his first start. Sanders should get a lot more reps this week to get him prepared for the Raiders, but it will be worth monitoring this week.

While it’s currently unclear whether or not Michael Penix Jr. will miss the rest of the 2025 season, he is at least going to be sidelined for four weeks.

According to a report from NFL Media, Penix is going to be placed on injured reserve after aggravating a bone bruise and knee sprain he initially suffered earlier in the 2025 season.

Plus, the report notes, there has been damage to Penix’s ACL, which could lead to a full knee reconstruction, the story said. Penix had two ACL tears in his right knee in college, but this injury is to his left knee. Penix will miss the next four weeks for sure but there seems to be a good chance his season is finished. Cousins will get the start in Week 12 and may remain in that spot for the rest of the season.
