Commanders game status vs. Browns:
OUT
RB Antonio Gibson (foot/knee)
OL Saahdiq Charles (concussion)
DE James Smith-Williams (concussion)QUESTIONBLE
CB Benjamin St-Juste (ankle)
S Percy Butler (hip)
S Kam Curl (ankle)
CB Christian Homes (ankle)— Nicki Jhabvala (@NickiJhabvala) December 30, 2022
St-Juste had a bit of a setback last week. Rivera says he “hopes it turns and turns rapidly because he could be an integral part of what we do.” Issue is that had a low and mid/high sprain. Part of it healed, but part wasn’t as healed. Tough to push off/change direction

Asked Ron Rivera if Dax Milne would handle kickoff returns since AG is out. Ron declined to name AG’s replacement and instead said they’ve been working with a couple of guys in that role

Chase Young will start on Sunday with James Smith-Williams out, Rivera said.

Payne might end up with 11-12 sacks. Going to get a massive contract here or elsewhere.

There’s synergy there for sure, but you don’t get double-digit sacks from the interior by accident. https://t.co/VgOEUn4Uhs

Ron Rivera discussed Wes Schweitzer’s low snaps with Carson Wentz and said that it’s a matter of Wes raising his target to match up with Wentz’s height and, if necessary, Wentz crouching a bit lower in shotgun to give his center some help

This just isn’t baked in reality.
This is post-Spurrier-Zorn-Haynesworth-etc. The bottom fell out years before this under Snyder. One dream season invigorated a fanbase STARVING for something to cheer for.
I have no idea what the point is here but it’s missed on me. https://t.co/rBdpGAtY2k

The point is the stadium could still become this. The fan base could still turn the faders to this high. You’ll never see this at FedEx again. This was another 10K seats removed ago singing HTTR. This is a thing of the past.

Initial belief from the Cowboys is that center Tyler Biadasz suffered a high ankle sprain tonight against the Titans, a person familiar with situation said. It being a Thursday game helps him. More time to recover before playoffs.

Cowboys coach Mike McCarthy on whether team to rest starters in regular-season finale at Commanders: “I think I should probably answer that Monday for you.”

The Eagles plan to rest Jalen Hurts against the Saints.
The decision came down to a health and safety issue, a source said, as Sirianni referenced today.
Hurts’ functionality in his shoulder has progressed to a point where the team expects him back on the field soon.
— Tim McManus (@Tim_McManus) December 30, 2022
The team wanted to give him at least one more week of rest to ensure the injury doesn’t linger.
The Eagles can clinch the No. 1 seed with a win against the Saints.
If they lose Sunday, playing Hurts in the regular season finale against the Giants has not been ruled out.

Jets selected the 2nd QB in the 2009, 2013, 2018, and 2021 Drafts.
Sanchez, Smith, and Darnold all had the worst passer rating in the NFL through their first 3 seasons.
Wilson is about to be first QB to have the worst rating in 2 seasons since 1970.https://t.co/msXAUQn0ic

Ravens once again ruled out QB Lamar Jackson, who has had a sprained PCL. Tyler Huntley expected to start Sunday night vs. Steelers.

Christian Kirk will make $500K if he catches four passes this weekend. He’ll make another $500K if he surpasses 12 receiving yards.
He would add another million to that $1M the following week if his combined output surpasses 14 grabs and 112 yards. (Via @corryjoel).

JJ Watt got a text and voice memo from rookie Jesse Luketa after he announced his retirement this week. Watt didn’t have Luketa’s number saved.
What happened after is hilarious. Watch till the end.
