Some good news following tests: There is swelling, but no structural damage and the injury is not season-ending, source said.

Clyde Edwards-Helaire should return shortly, Rapoport added - although he didn't go into details what "shortly" means. It's possible CEH could be at practice in some form this week, so it's worth keeping an eye on when the Chiefs get back to the field. If he can't go, Williams becomes a potential RB1 play in Week 17 at the Bengals.

X-Rays on the collarbone of Chiefs RB Clyde Edwards-Helaire were negative.

He’ll have an MRI tomorrow to determine how serious it is. Rapoport said on Good Morning Football normally a collarbone injury means it's broken so he didn't rule out CEH coming back quickly since the X-rays were negative. There will be more to come on this so we'll keep an eye on it. The Chiefs are at Cincy in an early game in Week 17.

The Raiders placed WR Bryan Edwards and QB Marcus Mariota on the reserve/COVID list Sunday.

The team also activated QB Nathan Peterman and WR Dillon Stoner. Edwards is the third-leading receiver for Vegas. Derek Carr will still have his trusty boys, Hunter Renfrow and Darren Waller as they prepare for a huge game against a fellow 7-7 team in Denver.

Chargers RB Austin Ekeler has been added to the reserve/COVID-19 list.

The do-it-all back has to test negative on consecutive days and be vaccinated to have a chance to play Week 16.

Garrett Gilbert - fresh off New England’s practice squad - gets the starting assignment tonight.

Neither WFT QB Taylor Heinicke nor Kyle Allen tested out. So they remain on the Reserve/COVID list. It's a big game for both teams who need this win to keep pace for a wild card playoff spot. With Gilbert getting the nod, it's a huge downgrade for the passing game and McLaurin.

McLaurin (concussion) doesn't carry an injury designation ahead of Tuesday's game against the Eagles.

McLaurin fully participated in each of Washington's three practice sessions this week, the story said. While it's good news he'll be back after a concussion, who will be throwing him the ball is another story. It's unclear who will be able to start for The Football Team at QB heading into Tuesday night's game. No matter who it is, McLaurin should draw a lot of targets at least.

C Corey Linsley, OLB Joey Bosa and RB Austin Ekeler are being placed on the COVID-19 list, per source. Chargers dealing with a situation.

The tweet said more names could drop today for the Bolts. It's possible Ekeler can be cleared for Week 16, especially with more relaxed rules. And, the Chargers fortunately play an early afternoon game Sunday against the Texans leaving owners time to adjust lineups. If Ekeler isn't able to go, Jackson probably is the lead back with Kelley also getting some work.

WFT WR Curtis Samuel (hamstring) will not play Week 15, while RB J.D. McKissic (concussion) and WR Terry McLaurin (concussion) are questionable.

WFT gets the Eagles off a bye with Kyle Allen, Kyle Shurmur, Garrett Gilbert, or you at QB this week. Lower expectations for the entire WFT offense.

Los Angeles Chargers running back Austin Ekeler is expected to play tonight against the Kansas City Chiefs.

Ekeler is banged up and playing on a short week, but the Chargers are playing for their playoff lives, and a loss could be detrimental to their chances to make the postseason. With that in mind, Ekeler will give it a go tonight. Ekeler may see a reduced workload but should still be featured when he is on the field. Ekeler is our 4th ranked running back for Week 15.

Chargers RB Austin Ekeler (ankle) is a game-time decision and will try out his ankle before Thursday's game against the Kansas City Chiefs.

If Ekeler is active, it could be a dicey proposition. The Chiefs front seven has been much better with the acquisition of Melvin Ingram and Chris Jones moving back to defensive tackle.
