Geno Smith doesn’t have a game status designation, suggesting that he’s good to go. Jamal, Frank and Dee have been ruled out tho. Everyone else is questionable.

Smith returns to a pretty nice Week 16 matchup against the Titans, and should be considered a borderline QB1.

Seahawks QB Geno Smith (groin) will be a full go in practice today, per Pete Carroll. "That's exciting for us," he said.

Smith returns to a pretty nice Week 16 matchup against the Titans, and should be considered a borderline QB1.

Pete Carroll reiterates on Seattle Sports that Geno Smith will have a full week of practice and play against the Titans.

Smith's groin injury was expected to keep him out two weeks, so he looks to be on track to play in Week 16 - despite Lock's heroics on Monday night against the Eagles. Smith will get a favorable matchup against the Titans who were eliminated from the playoffs with their loss this past week.

For what it's worth: Geno Smith took far more throws and whatnot during early warmups before inactives were announced. But Drew Lock is doing the typical first-team work right now with the whole team out there. Took snaps from starting center Evan Brown.

While Smith is active, the team has yet to announce him as a starter as of about 40 minutes before game time. Given the rain falling prior to the game, Smith having a groin injury, and the information in Gustafson's post, this is potentially a tricky situation for Smith owners needing him tonight. Owners will want to follow the situation right up to game time.

Seahawks starting QB Geno Smith, dealing with a groin injury, is playing, source said. A surprise.

Videos emerged everywhere of Smith warming up and just about all of them said he appeared to look normal. Rapoport reported this morning that Smith would have an uphill battle to be able to go tonight, but it looks like Smith will get the start. It's a great matchup against and Eagles defense that's been lit up in recent weeks by the Bills, 49ers and Cowboys.

For one thing, Tommy DeVito will continue to be the Giants’ quarterback; coach Brian Daboll said Sunday evening that DeVito will remain the starter next week.

The story pointed out DeVito is 3-2 as a starter and looks miles ahead of where he was when he took his first professional snaps against the New York Jets in Week 8, and the story asked readers to remember when the Giants barely trusted him to throw the ball. DeVito has earned more trust each week. With questions going forward at the QB position, especially with Jones, the Giants have good reason to stick with DeVito and see what he can do for the remainder of the season. He'll get a favorable matchup in Week 16 against the Eagles.

Ian Rapoport reported Geno Smith has to improve a lot in order to play in Week 15 against the Eagles on Monday night.

Related players: Drew Lock

Rapoport said there is a pretty good possibility that Lock makes the start against the Eagles on Monday night. Lock held his own against the 49ers last week, throwing for 269 yards, two TDs and two INTs, and does have a favorable matchup against an Eagles secondary that's been torched in recent weeks. We'll likely know more about Smith as the day goes on but as of now it looks like Lock could get the start.

TE Darren Waller has been designated for return and will return to practice today.

Related Players: Daniel Bellinger

Bellinger wasn't able to do much with his extended playing time outside of a couple of three-catch, 40-yard performances. Waller should do much more if he's on the field, and should be considered a top-12 option if he is a full participant for the rest of the week.

Steelers have everyone status quo or updated on today’s injury report except Isaac Seumalo (DNP again) and Diontae Johnson, who missed with a knee injury. TJ Watt (full) and Alex Highsmith (limited) remain on track. Najee Harris and Damontae Kazee were full participants.

Related Players: George Pickens, Pat Freiermuth, Allen Robinson

Johnson has been very unproductive since his first three games off the IR, topping 50 yards receiving only once in the last five games (57 yards last week). His catch rate has plummeted to 56.1%, which ranks 90th out of 100 qualifying receivers.
George Pickens was routinely productive while Johnson was sidelined, and has four games with 80+ receiving yards on the season. He would get a nice bump if his teammate were to miss Week 15.

Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith was sidelined for Week 14 by a groin injury suffered in practice. But there’s a chance he’ll be able to play against the Eagles next week.

One of the things that helps Smith’s chances is the extra time Seattle will have to prepare for the matchup, which was recently flexed to Monday night. While that's good news for Smith, it's bad news for owners who may not have the luxury to wait out a game-time call. Owners counting on Smith are going to need a backup plan.
