Dante Pettis placed on IR

Jaguars star CB/WR Travis Hunter underwent season-ending knee surgery, with eyes set on 2026. It was an LCL repair.

He’s expected to return within 6 months to full football activities, the post went on to say. Hunter was already on IR after the injury. The Jags will hope for the return BTJ from an ankle injury to go along with newly-acquired Meyers as well as Washington. The move for Meyers makes a lot more sense now for the Jags.

Joe Burrow didn't want to reveal too much about when he could be playing for the Cincinnati Bengals again this season, but he does have a potential target date in mind.

Burrow said Monday that it will be very meaningful if he can return from a turf toe injury on his left foot for the Thanksgiving Day game against the Baltimore Ravens on Nov. 27. Two years ago, Burrow suffered a season-ending wrist injury during a November prime-time game at M&T Bank Stadium that was also on a Thursday night.

Burrow's window is officially open as of yesterday and we reported the 21 days would take him to Week 14's game, which is an early December game. December looked to be his target return since the injury so the news of his new target date is encouraging. The story said Burrow didn't rule out the notion that the team's overall record will factor into that decision. Cincinnati (3-6) has lost five of its six games since Burrow suffered the toe injury during a Week 2 win against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Browns coach Kevin Stefanski at least opened the door a crack that quarterback Deshaun Watson could be designated for return to practice this week.

Stefanski was asked on a Nov. 10 Zoom call about the possibility of Watson's 21-day practice window being opened this week, and his response was, "I'm not sure if that's what we're doing." Previously when he's been asked that question, including last week, he's answered with a definitive "no."

The story added Watson has been on the PUP list since the start of training camp recovering from an Achilles injury and he's been involved in meetings and other behind-the-scenes aspects of the team, but hasn't been cleared to begin practicing. Watson had surgery in both October of last year and this past January. Watson's injury happened on Oct. 7 of last season and the story went on to say it was expected to be a seven- to eight-month recovery before being reset by the second surgery in January. The story added Browns have refused to get pinned down to a firm timetable for his return and that Watson's been out of a walking boot for several months.
