Pierre Thomas sprained ankle is fine

Jaxson Dart will practice again Thursday, per Mike Kafka. Still heading in the right direction.

Even if the team pulls back the reins a little on Dart's designed rushes, he still has the rushing upside to land as a top-15 option if he plays in Week 12. Consider him a QB streaming option, should he be cleared in time.

For a second straight day today, Bengals QB Joe Burrow has been taking snaps with Cincinnati’s starting offense, preparing him for the possibility that he could play Sunday vs. New England.

This would be a very early return for Burrow, particularly when we consider that the team is 3-7 at the moment. If he were to somehow make a miraculous return in Week 12, he would actually be in a good spot against the Patriots' 25th-ranked defense according to QB aFPA, but he'd also be without Ja'Marr Chase, who is serving a one-game suspension. We'll keep an eye on the situation, but things are certainly pointing toward a return.

Sources: Texans RB Joe Mixon is not expected to play this season as he deals with a foot injury from the offseason.

Mixon likely remains on the Physically Unable to Perform list through the season. Meanwhile, Houston moves forward with Nick Chubb and Woody Marks.

This shouldn't come as much of a surprise considering we haven't heard a peep about him in months. As such, this doesn't impact Marks and Chubb's ROS outlook. We'll have to see how this impacts Mixon's 2026 availability.
