Team news: Arizona Cardinals

49ers are listing TE George Kittle and WR Ricky Pearsall as questionable for Sunday night’s game against the Bears.

Jennings has really come along over the last month-plus so we should still expect him to be a very solid fantasy asset, whether Pearsall is in or not. As for Kittle, we need to have a contingency plan since they don't play until Monday night. Colston Loveland would be a fantastic option on the other sideline if he's available.

Quarterback Gardner Minshew got some positive news on the knee injury he suffered during Sunday’s loss to the Titans. But Kansas City is still adding another quarterback.

According to multiple reports, further testing revealed that Minshew did not, in fact, tear his ACL as initially feared on Sunday.

Minshew is still set to miss time, but he avoided a worst-case scenario after going down early during Week 16, the story said. The team signed Buechele to the 53-man roster off of the Bills’ practice squad, and he'll backup Oladokun.

Chiefs QB Gardner Minshew is believed to have suffered a torn ACL during Sunday’s game against the Titans.

The Chiefs have now lost a quarterback to a torn ACL in two straight weeks following Patrick Mahomes in Week 15. Chris Oladokun came on in relief, throwing his first career NFL passes. The Chiefs are now assured of a losing season at 6-9, their first since going 2-14 in 2012.

Bears WRs Rome Odunze (Foot) and Luther Burden III (Ankle) both ruled out for Saturday vs. Packers.

The D.J. Moore glow-up should continue here in Week 16, as we should once again consider him a WR2 after what has been a mostly tumultuous season.

In addition, Loveland is definitely in the streaming conversation, with a great opportunity to finish as a top-10 option.

Luther Burden (ankle) and Rome Odunze (foot) would not have practiced. Burden was injured in last Sunday’s win over the Browns while Odunze aggravated an injury in pregame warmups.

Burden had a season-high six catches before his injury. The rookie has 36 catches for 479 yards and a touchdown on the season. Odunze has now missed the last two games, but still leads the team with 44 catches for 661 yards and six touchdowns this year, the story said. The Bears and Packers are set to play on Saturday night this week so owners will want to monitor their statuses.

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes underwent successful surgery Monday night in Dallas to repair the tear in his left ACL, the team announced.

The surgery was performed by Dr. Dan Cooper, the Dallas Cowboys' head team physician. A league source told ESPN that Dr. Cooper also repaired the torn LCL in Mahomes' left knee, confirming a report by NFL Network.

According to the Chiefs and the story, Mahomes "will begin his rehab process immediately." Mahomes was injured with less than two minutes remaining in Sunday's 16-13 loss to the Chargers. The story went on to say the typical recovery for such an injury is about nine months, meaning Mahomes will miss the team's offseason program, and his availability for the start of next season is in question. The 2026 NFL season opener is Sept. 10, the story said.

Bears coach Ben Johnson says Luther Burden's ankle is a 'day-by-day' situation.

As far as Rome Odunze, 'there may be a case we have to protect him from himself' so he can be a factor later on, per Ben Johnson.

Briggs added Burden's availability for Saturday night will remain a question until later in the week. Also a big question is Odunze, who is dealing with a foot injury. Moore was able to take some advantage of the situation and produced a 4-69-2 line against the Browns. Loveland was also a factor in the passing game, going 4-63-0. D'Andre Swift and Kyle Monangai totaled 29 rushes in the game last week. The Bears get the Packers in a Saturday night game in Week 16, however.

Backup quarterback Gardner Minshew, a five-year veteran, is expected to be the team's starter for the final three games of the regular season.

That stretch will serve as an audition for Minshew to remain with the Chiefs for next season, the story would add. "I've got a ton of confidence in Gardner," Reid said in the story. "I've watched him play with other teams, he's started in the league, and our guys have confidence in him."

Cardinals RB Bam Knight, who was carted off Sunday with an ankle injury, suffered what is being described as “a bad sprain.”

Related players: Emari Demercado, Michael Carter, Corey Kiner

Schefter went on to say that nothing is broken, which is good news, but Knight is unlikely to play in Week 16. Knight will undergo an MRI today. With Knight out, it was Carter who got 14 carries and also added four catches for 38 yards in passing game. Demercado could factor in with Knight out, too, but he only had three touches this past week. Kiner had two rushes for 11 yards. The Cards have a home game against the Falcons in the later window on Sunday.

Marvin Harrison Jr. is once again OUT this week vs. the Texans, per Cardinals head coach Jonathan Gannon.

Related Players: Michael Wilson, Trey McBride, Jalen Brooks, Trent Sherfield

It's another Michael Wilson week, and managers who picked him off the waiver wire weeks ago are ecstatic. Consider him a fantasy WR2 yet again.
