M. Glennon - QB

JAC

Jaguars coach Doug Marrone said Mike Glennon will start Week 13 against the Vikings.

Glennon will remain the starter after averaging 6.7 YPA and completing 57 percent of his passes in a loss to the Browns. Gardner Minshew (thumb) has been cleared to return, but the Jaguars are sticking with journeyman Glennon for another game. Marrone said Jacksonville "could end up with a different starting quarterback each week depending on how things go." The one-win Jaguars will turn back to Jake Luton or Minshew if Glennon struggles.

P. Mahomes - QB

ESPN's Adam Schefter reports it is "too early to say that (Patrick Mahomes) will definitely will play" in the AFC Championship Game.

Schefter also confirms that Mahomes is dealing with a foot injury after he was limping around in the Divisional Round. The Chiefs have sent mixed messages on if they believe Mahomes was actually concussed against the Browns, but Schefter reports that is indeed the case. Per Schefter, Mahomes has already cleared some "big steps," but there are many more to go between now and Sunday. We know concussions are fickle, but it is a bit hard to believe Mahomes will not be out there against the Bills. Our first official update will come with Wednesday's injury report. Schefter reports Mahomes is expected to go tomorrow.

D. Lock - QB

DEN

Broncos president of football operations John Elway said he remains high on Drew Lock, but that new GM George Paton "will continue to look to fill that spot if we don't think that Drew is that guy."

Elway called Lock's 2020 "essentially his rookie year," attributing his lack of development to various reasons, including the COVID-19 pandemic, young supporting cast and new offensive coordinator. For his part, Paton did not commit to Lock, but he did throw some bouquets his way. “I liked Drew coming out of the draft. A big arm, athletic, a play-maker,” Paton said. “I’ve watched enough tape to know that he’s talented. He can develop.” Lock's physical tools will always intrigue, while there is some truth to what Elway said. It's just hard to believe he is going to improve to the degree he needs to. Lock will have to make an even bigger leap than Josh Allen did when it comes to accuracy and decision-making. Allen's 2020 breakthrough was coming from a much higher baseline.

M. Alexander - DB

CIN

All charges against Bengals CB Mackensie Alexander related to an August battery incident have been dismissed.

Alexander left training camp in August after his father was reported missing. Alexander allegedly confronted the man who left his father behind on a berry-picking trip. His father was eventually found. Alexander signed with the Bengals in March 2020. ESPN's Ben Baby expects him to walk in free agency.

M. Thomas - WR

Michael Thomas is likely to undergo surgeries this offseason to repair damage in his ankle.

This could explain Thomas' cryptic Tuesday morning Twitter posts and his subpar performance in the Divisional Round against the Bucs. ESPN's Adam Schefter said Thomas is "likely" to opt for surgery to repair "both the torn deltoid and other injured ligaments in his high ankle." Thomas missed eight weeks with a high ankle injury he suffered against Tampa in Week 1. He managed to play in nine regular season games and both of the Saints' postseason contests, though he appeared less than healthy in all but a few games. Schefter said Thomas "knew it was likely Drew Brees’ last year and didn’t want to miss out trying win a Super Bowl with him." With that dream dashed, Thomas will look to get right before likely catching passes from Taysom Hill in 2021.

A. Brown - WR

Antonio Brown's knee injury is not considered serious and he'll prepare to play in the NFL championship game against the Packers.

Brown's Monday MRI on the injured knee -- which kept him sidelined for the second half last week against the Saints -- revealed no serious damage. While Brown's practice status will prove critical in the coming days, it appears he's likely to suit up for the NFC title game against Green Bay. Tyler Johnson and Scotty Miller would have some fantasy relevance if Brown is sidelined.

R. Gronkowski - TE

Rob Gronkowski ran 19 pass routes in the Bucs' Divisional Round win over the Saints.

Cameron Brate, meanwhile, ran 16 routes against New Orleans, out-targeting Gronk six to five. Brate finished with four grabs for 50 yards while Gronkowski had one catch for 14 yards. In the Wild Card round against Washington, Brate ran more pass routes than Gronkowski and commanded six targets to Gronk's one target. Barring a drastic role change in the NFC title game against Green Bay, Brate is the superior fantasy option this week.

J. Goff - QB

NFL Network's Steve Wyche reports one person close to the situation said coach Sean McVay and Jared Goff's relationship "needs marriage counseling" this offseason.

Another person described the relationship as "not great." McVay seems fed up with Goff's ups and downs, especially when the downs are basement-level play and the ups are merely mediocre. Goff held the Rams back this season, but taking away his deep threats in Sammy Watkins and Brandin Cooks didn't do him any favors, as guys like Robert Woods, Cooper Kupp, and Josh Reynolds aren't field stretchers. McVay failed to endorse Goff as the Rams' 2021 starter, and there's a sense the Rams will bring in a more capable backup to push Goff this summer. But it's clear the relationship between the coach and quarterback is souring a bit.

O. Beckham - WR

CLE

Speaking Monday, coach Kevin Stefanski said he's "excited" for Odell Beckham's (knee) return in 2021.

“I texted with him this morning. I know he’s working really hard to get better in his rehab. I’m excited to get him back here,” Stefanski said. “I know it was not easy for him being away from his teammates, especially as these games got bigger and into the playoffs. I know he definitely wanted to be a part of it.” After OBJ tore his ACL in Week 7, there was wide speculation the Browns could trade him ahead of the 2021 season, but Stefanski sounds like a guy ready to have his playmaking wideout back with the club. The Browns went 11-5 and won a playoff game mostly without OBJ, riding their running game and a more relaxed Baker Mayfield over the second half of the year. Mayfield likely didn't feel the pressure to force the ball to OBJ. Beckham has three years left on his contract but he has no guaranteed money left on the deal. The Browns can clear $15.75 million by trading or releasing Beckham.

T. Huntley - QB

BAL

Ravens signed QB Tyler Huntley, LB Aaron Adeoye, DT Aaron Crawford, DT Braxton Hoyett, WR Jaylon Moore, LS Nick Moore, DE Chauncey Rivers, DB Nigel Warrior, DB Chris Westry, RB Ty'Son Williams, and TE Eli Wolf to reserve/future contracts.

Huntley remains the most impactful name among the 11 practice squad players that signed, appearing in the fourth quarter of Baltimore's Divisional Round loss and completing 6-of-13 passes for 60 yards off the bench. He'll enter camp in a one-sided competition with Trace McSorley to replace Robert Griffin III as Lamar Jackson's direct backup.

R. Griffin - QB

BAL

Ravens waived Robert Griffin III.

UDFA Tyler Huntley showed enough in completing 6-of-13 passes for 60 yards (and rushing three times for 32 yards) in his fourth-quarter relief of Lamar Jackson in the Divisional Round to enter camp as the team's No. 2 quarterback. It's possible Griffin lands back with Baltimore in free agency, but his reserve role will instead likely fall to Trace McSorley. The team also waived veterans DB Davontae Harris, WR De'Anthony Harris (COVID opt-out) and DB Tramon Williams.

V. Vea - DL

Buccaneers designated DT Vita Vea (broken leg) to return from injured reserve.

Vea, Pro Football Focus' No. 3-graded interior defensive lineman prior to injury, fractured his ankle in October but will (somehow) be available for practice Wednesday in an attempt to be activated in time for Sunday's Conference Championship matchup against the Packers. It's potentially a massive boost for Tampa Bay's interior line even if Vea is limited upon returning.

P. Mahomes - QB

Patrick Mahomes is in the NFL's concussion protocol.

Mahomes left Sunday's Divisional Round victory in the second half and did not return after suffering the brain injury. "We'll follow that and see how he does the next couple of days," Andy Reid said Monday, a day after he said Mahomes was "doing great" in a generally optimistic statement on his star QB. If Mahomes can't clear the league's protocol this week, Chad Henne would start for KC in the AFC title game against Buffalo. Mahomes' practice participation will be worth watching throughout the week.
