Cowboys WR Dez Bryant (ankle) returned to full practice...

When asked postgame if his trust in the run game changed without J.K. Dobbins, HC Sean Payton gave a clear vote of confidence to RJ Harvey.

“It’s nothing to do with the runner,” Payton said postgame. “Nothing.”

“We’ll watch the tape,” Payton continued, asked on his evaluation of Harvey. “But, trust me. It was just looks where the evaluation will be on how we blocked it, and then the scheme, relative to what we were seeing defensively. The runners were good.”

Harvey is averaging just 3.1 YPC outside the tackles this season the story said, which is a reason why the team has missed Dobbins, who is lost for the season. In two games as a lead back, Harvey is averaging just 2.7 YPC. The story pointed out Harvey has missed some holes as of late, making the wrong cut. The good news is Harvey has improved his pass blocking, which will keep him on the field in more situations, and he's thriving as a goal line back. Harvey had 13 carries to McLaughlin's six against the Commanders, and Harvey should continue to be the back to play in the Denver offense.

Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert underwent surgery Monday to repair the broken bone in his left hand.

In a statement, the Chargers said: “Chargers QB Justin Herbert underwent successful surgery today in Los Angeles to stabilize a fracture in his left hand. Herbert’s return to play is considered day-to-day, and his status for next Monday’s game against Philadelphia will be determined later in the week.” Herbert injured his left hand in the first series at the end of a 1-yard scramble when Panthers defensive back Jeremy Chinn slammed the quarterback to the ground. Herbert’s hand banged against the turf, the story described. Herbert owners could be in a tough spot since the game is on Monday night, especially if Herbert comes down to a game-time call. Hopefully we know more as the week goes on.

Even though Jayden Reed is back at practice, he still has to be given final medical clearance to play.

Also said Matthew Golden (wrist) could potentially play Sunday vs. CHI.

LaFleur said: "The plan is to see where he's at by the end of the week," according to the post. Reed should be close as he returned last week and there was some hoped he'd be able to play on Thanksgiving. We may not have a better idea until later this week as far as Reed goes, however. The Packers play in a later Sunday game at home against the Bears, who currently have the top seed in the NFC.
