Texans QB Matt Leinart done for the year

Sean McVay did not rule Davante Adams, who is also listed with a knee issue, out for Thursday night, however, and indications are that the team will wait as long as possible before making a decision about whether he will play.

Adams aggravated a hamstring injury in Sunday’s win over the Lions and the team listed him as a non-participant on Monday’s estimated practice report. Adams will be out of practice again on Tuesday.

In ending a two-game losing streak, the Ravens (7-7) looked like a playoff team, recording their most complete performance of the season. And by throwing touchdown passes and running for first downs, Jackson took another step toward looking like his old self.

"I believe I told you guys early on in the week that I was feeling better, like Thursday," Jackson said. "I guess you guys had to see it to believe it."

Jackson's final numbers were pedestrian. He recorded the fewest completions of his eight-year career in a full game, connecting on 8-of-12 passes for 150 yards, two touchdowns and one interception.

Jackson's production lately has dipped in tandem with his reduced practice time, the story pointed out. He has missed at least one full practice in each of the past five games, sitting out for the most part because of injuries (knee, ankle and toe), the story continued. While his numbers last week weren't what fantasy owners have become used to, he was producing touchdowns again. Hopefully those who played Lamar in Week 15 have advanced in the playoffs. The Ravens and Jackson get the Patriots in Week 16.

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.
