Vikings J.J. McCarthy has a right hand injury and will get an MRI.

Related players Max Brosmer

Rapoport said X-rays were negative, but he will get an MRI to see if there is any other damage, or if it might be just a bruise. If McCarthy can't go in Week 17, Brosmer would get his second start. Of course, we all remember his first start. But, Brosmer was 7 for 9 for 52 yards in relief of McCarthy in Week 16.

Jordan Love is in concussion protocol.
Malik Willis is dealing with a shoulder injury.

As Rapoport said, all concussions are different, but the trend is for players to miss a game when entering protocol. Love owners will want to keep an eye on him this week to see if he can get back on the practice field. Meanwhile, Willis is dealing with a right shoulder injury, but did finish the game. However, this will also be worth monitoring. The Packers play another Saturday game in Week 17 so fantasy owners should have plenty of time to adjust lineups, but may want to start planning now.

The league will review the incident with DK Metcalf and a Detroit Lion fan from Week 15's game.

CBS had a clip of Metcalf seemingly wandering over to the stands, grabbing a Lions fan and apparently taking a swing or swipe. Rapoport said a ruling could come Monday night. The fan said Metcalf got mad because he called Metcalf by his full name, and not DK, according to the video. It's very possible Metcalf could be looking at a suspension, which could possibly leave his fantasy owners without him for the finals in Week 17. We'll update as we find out more about this strange incident.

Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson suffered a bruise to his back late in the second quarter of Baltimore’s 28-24 loss to New England, head coach John Harbaugh told reporters in his postgame press conference.

It’s unclear how that will affect Jackson’s availability going forward, the story said. Harbaugh was quoted as saying it may take a couple of days to find out his status, and Jackson got kneed to the back. The story did add that Jackson was not in a position to play in the second half.

Broncos wide receiver Pat Bryant suffered a scary injury on Sunday on which he stayed down for several minutes, was taken off the field on a stretcher, and put directly on an ambulance. But the news on Bryant Monday morning is good.

Bryant was released from the hospital within hours, according to multiple reports.

The story went on to say that although Bryant was diagnosed with a concussion, he cleared all other testing and does not have a neck or spinal injury, which was an initial concern given his posture when he was knocked to the ground.

Packers QB Jordan Love remains in the concussion protocol, according to head coach Matt LaFleur.

“That’s a process that takes multiple days to get through,” LaFleur said. He did add that Love is “doing better.” The Packers return to the practice field Tuesday with their game on Saturday against the Ravens.

Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski told reporters after the game running back Quinshon Judkins suffered a dislocated ankle and a fractured fibula Sunday.

A very solid rookie season comes to an end in a very unfortunate way for Judkins, who rushed for over 800 yards and seven touchdowns. Raheim Sanders saw the bulk of the work in the backfield after Judkins’ injury, totaling 11 rushes for 42 yards and added a four-yard reception.

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.

Vikings QB J.J. McCarthy left Sunday’s game against the Giants with a hand injury.

McCarthy was injured on a sack taken in the second half. McCarthy went 9/14 for 108 yards with an interception. Max Brosmer came on in relief and went 7/9 for 52 yards, finishing up a 16-13 win for Minnesota.
