Eagles TE Zach Ertz does not carry an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Green Bay Packers, according to Jeff McLane of the Philadelphia Inquirer.

Ertz has not been Ertzian for roughly a calendar year, but his addition is another trusted offensive player for Carson Wentz. Ertz should be a top 15 tight end going forward.

Washington Football Team WR Terry McLaurin is questionable for Monday's game against the Pittsburgh Steelers, according to John Keim of ESPN.

Not great news to see. The "good" thing is there are two games following this one Week 13, so there may be options to stash on your bench just in case.

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Zach Ertz logged a limited practice session on Thursday.

This is the second consecutive limited practice for Ertz, and all signs point to him being active for Week 13. It would be nice if Ertz could practice in full tomorrow so as to avoid an injury designation for Sunday's contest against Green Bay, but the more likely scenario is a questionable tag, and fantasy gamers not finding out until prior to game time whether or not Ertz will be active. Even if he is active, Ertz may see a lighter workload than usual unless he starts the game hot. Dallas Goedert has put together two excellent games in a row, and will likely see more snaps than Ertz, even if it is for one week only. Ertz is our 20th ranked tight end for Week 13.

The Eagles activated tight end Zach Ertz from injured reserve on Wednesday.

The activation opens up a three-week window where Ertz can practice and eventually return to game action. It remains to be seen whether Ertz will return for Week 13, but the fact that he was trending the right direction last week provides some optimism he will. Dallas Goedert has performed well in Ertz's absence but will take a usage hit whenever Ertz returns.

The Denver Broncos had no new positive coronavirus tests coming out of Sunday testing, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter.

The Broncos were without their entire quarterback depth chart for Sunday's loss to the Saints due to the positive test of backup quarterback Jeff Driskel and the fact that the team's three other QBs (Drew Lock, Brett Rypien and Blake Bortles) were all deemed to be high-risk contacts.

Lock, the team's starting quarterback, issued an apology on social media before Sunday's game acknowledging that the quarterbacks had erred in not strictly adhering to mask policies with one another, according to the story.

The Chargers activated RB Austin Ekeler from injured reserve Saturday.

This was the expectation all week that he would be back in the lineup against the Bills. This will be Ekeler’s first action since suffering the hamstring injury back in Week 4. Good timing as Karen Ballage is dealing ankle and calf injuries of his own. Ekeler had a good week of practice after the team designated him for return on Tuesday.
