Good news for the Cowboys, especially with Lamb and the news Cooper may have to miss Thursday's game because of COVID symptoms. Machota pointed out the Cowboys WRs vs. Saints could be Lamb, Gallup, Brown, Turner and Fehoko.

Cowboys WR Amari Cooper (COVID-19) is back in building but "still not feeling the best," coach Mike McCarthy said. Still has a cough. "To be determined" whether he'll practice today. "My gut would be if he doesn't practice tomorrow, I don't see him going to the game."

Cooper is not vaccinated and still has symptoms. He was required to miss two games over a 10-day period but because he's still not feeling well he could miss a third game as a result. With Lamb back in the fold after a concussion, he would likely be the team's WR1. Gallup is more of a big play threat while Wilson could be more of a WR2-type with Brown also mixing in.

Jerry Jones on 105.3 The Fan in Dallas on Amari Cooper: “We’re fully expecting him to be ready by game time.”

Cooper came off the COVID list and reported back to the Cowboys on Monday. But Cooper didn't practice on Monday. He'll have a couple of days to get up to speed before Thursday's game against the Saints. The Cowboys offense should be back to full strength as CeeDee Lamb is also expected back from a concussion.

Wide receiver CeeDee Lamb was also a full participant on Monday.

Lamb did not clear the concussion protocol in time to play on Thanksgiving, but he is set to return to action against the Saints. Also scheduled to return is Cooper so the WR group should be at full strength for Thursday's game.

The Washington Football Team will officially add TE Logan Thomas back to the active roster in the next hour. He and WR Curtis Samuel are on track to play tonight, as expected.

Good news for those counting on Thomas in Week 12. The tweet added that both will also be on a pitch counts, so that could hurt Thomas' value a bit. Samuel has played in just two games this year, seeing five targets with four catches for 19 yards.

Wide receiver Amari Cooper was back at the Cowboys’ facility on Monday.

Cooper missed the last two games after testing positive for COVID-19, which triggered a mandatory 10-day quarantine period because Cooper is unvaccinated. The story went on to say quarterback Dak Prescott told reporters that Cooper was in the building, but that he did not practice with the rest of the team. Players returning from the COVID list undergo conditioning testing before receiving final clearance to get back on the field, so Cooper may be ready for Tuesday’s practice and the hope is that he’ll be joining CeeDee Lamb in returning to the wide receiving corps for Thursday’s game against the Saints.

The Jets have placed QB Joe Flacco and QB Mike White on the Reserve/COVID-19 list.

Wilson was announced as the Monday Night starter but with Flacco and White on the COVID list, Johnson will back up Wilson.

Zach Wilson was fully cleared to return Monday night. He will practice fully and start against the Texans, sources tell The Athletic.

Wilson missed four games with a PCL injury and watched as White flashed and faded before Flacco at least gave the Jets a chance against the Dolphins in Week 11. The Jets are eager to get Wilson back in the lineup with WR Elijah Moore having three-straight games with TDs. That duo will have to wait a couple of weeks to get RB Michael Carter back in the fold as he has a high ankle sprain.

The extensions mean the Broncos’ top four receivers — Patrick, Sutton, Jerry Jeudy and K.J. Hamler — are under contract through 2023.

And that fact could certainly help lure a veteran QB to Denver and jolt the Broncos back into relevancy like Peyton Manning did in 2012.

We eluded to this on Monday when the Sutton extension was announced. The story, however, worries about the team adding Aaron Rodgers, Deshaun Watson or Russell Wilson. While it's an upgrade over Bridgewater or Lock, all three come with baggage, of course. But mix in a running game and TE Noah Fant and the Broncos are certainly an attractive destination that could put the team over the top with a QB upgrade.

Jets running back Michael Carter is expected to miss a couple of weeks with a low-grade high ankle sprain, head coach Robert Saleh said Monday afternoon. Carter went down with the injury early in the third quarter of Sunday’s 24-17 loss to the Miami Dolphins.

Carter had 63 yards on nine carries before getting hurt. With Zach Wilson set to return sooner than later, and Elijah Moore emerging at WR, the Jets will have to wait a couple of weeks to have all three of their rookie centerpieces on offense be on the field together. Coleman and Johnson will likely take over most of the RB duties with Carter out of the lineup.
