The Broncos pulled all three quarterbacks (Drew Lock, Brett Rypien and Blake Bortles) from practice Saturday and “sent home out of contact tracing concerns with Jeff Driskel”.

Klis says it is unclear if this is precautionary or what the status of the quarterbacks is for Sunday against the Saints. Driskel tested positive for COVID on Thursday. However, the other quarterbacks have all been testing negative and Klis notes there is hope all three (not counting Driskel) will be cleared for Sunday.

49ers WR Deebo Samuel is questionable for Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Rams, according to Cam Inman of the San Jose Mercury.

Samuel's return would help a depleted receiving corps that is still without Brandon Aiyuk.

Chargers head coach Anthony Lynn told reporters Friday that 'there's a chance' RB Austin Ekeler plays Sunday.

If Ekeler is active, will it tie in to Ballage not playing? Is it too soon to get excited about Ekeler's return? Is this too many questions to ask?

According to Ian Rapoport on Twitter, Washington star wide receiver Terry McLaurin is expected to play against the Dallas Cowboys.

Although McLaurin was officially questionable for this afternoon's contest, he was listed as a full participant on Wednesday's estimated practice report. He will be active for a plus matchup against a Cowboys team he recorded seven receptions for 90 receiving yards and a touchdown against earlier this season. McLaurin is our eighth ranked receiver for Week 12.

Chargers running back Austin Ekeler is practicing Wednesday as he works his way back from a serious hamstring injury.

It looks like Ekeler has a chance to suit up this week but his practice status should be monitored to ensure he does not suffer any setbacks as hamstring injuries are notoriously difficult to come back from. Ekeler should immediately reclaim a large role in the Chargers backfield upon his return and will render Kalen Ballage, Justin Jackson, and Joshua Kelley pure backup options.

Eagles Head Coach Doug Pederson told reporters on Wednesday that tight end Zach Ertz is "trending in the right direction" to play Week 12 against Seattle.
"

The Eagles and Seahawks don't play until Monday night so this could be headache for those rostering Ertz or teammate Dallas Goedert. Ertz has sat out the last five weeks on injured reserve as he recovers from a significant ankle sprain. Ertz's return would put a serious dent in Goedert's previously growing fantasy appeal.
