Updating a previous report, Kansas City Chiefs RB Damien Williams (ribs) on Friday, Nov. 29, was ruled out of the team’s Week 13 game against the Oakland Raiders.
Footballguys View: Darrel Williams and LeSean McCoy will split the work against Oakland and if it follows the trend established when Damien Williams has been out this year, it should be close to a 50-50 distribution, making both solid flex plays or reasonable RB2 picks if you are in a bind.
Pittsburgh Steelers WR JuJu Smith-Schuster (knee) did not practice all week and has been ruled out for Week 13 against the Cleveland Browns.
Footballguys View: Diontae Johnson and James Washington will start and both are boom/bust WR3/Flex plays with new quarterback Devlin Hodges in against the Browns this week.
New England Patriots QB Tom Brady (elbow) said Friday, Nov. 29, that his elbow injury is improving. ‘I actually feel really good — I mean that,’ Brady said.
Pittsburgh Steelers RB James Conner (shoulder) was limited in practice for a second straight day Friday, Nov. 29, and is listed as doubtful for Week 13 against the Cleveland Browns.
Footballguys View: Benny Snell should get the start and a heavy workload against the Browns this week. Consider him a high floor RB2 for Week 13.
Jacksonville Jaguars S Ronnie Harrison (concussion) and TE Seth DeValve (oblique) did not practice all week and have been ruled out for Week 13 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. LB Myles Jack (knee) and CB Tre Herndon (shoulder) were limited in practice on Friday, Nov. 29, and are listed as questionable.

Dallas Cowboys WR Amari Cooper (knee) did not suffer any structural damage to his left knee, according to results from an MRI on Friday, Nov. 29.
Footballguys View: Cooper has a few extra days to rest before the Week 14 game against Chicago. He remains a boom/bust WR1 with some worry about his injuries piling up.
Carolina Panthers RB Jordan Scarlett (knee, ankle) did not practice all week and has been ruled out for Week 13 against the Washington Redskins. OT Greg Little (ankle) also did not practice all week and is listed as doubtful. S Eric Reid (ankle) did not practice Friday, Nov. 29, and is listed as questionable.

Moore (ankle, non-injury) and CB Ross Cockrell (quad) practiced in full Friday and also no longer appear on the injury report.

Philadelphia Eagles TE Zach Ertz (hamstring) will run and do some work in practice Friday, Nov. 29.
