Lions WR Josh Reynolds (thigh) is questionable for Week 15's game against the Arizona Cardinals.

If Reynolds cannot play, Amon-Ra St. Brown would be Detroit's only trusted wideout playing.

Broncos RB Melvin Gordon suffered a sprained thumb in Sunday’s game, source said, but it doesn’t figure to limit his playing time going forward.

Gordon returned to the game yesterday and ran for 111 yards. Gordon carried 24 times to Williams' 15. Both back scored two TDs in the romp over the Lions (Williams had a TD catch) but at this point it looks like Gordon remains a slightly better fantasy play, at least based on volume.

It's a good week for Gordon to play, as the Lions are much easier to beat on the ground than through the air. Look for Gordon to work in for his usual work if active.

Broncos HC Vic Fangio told reporters Wednesday that RB Melvin Gordon (hip) will practice.

Williams was never going to take over the lead back role, so Gordon's return more than likely caps Williams' upside Week 14.

On RB Melvin Gordon (hip/shoulder) Broncos coach Vic Fangio said Monday Gordon "will be back to practice at some point during the week.'' Gordon did not practice last week and did not play Sunday night against the Chiefs.

Williams was one of the stars of Week 14 having the RB1 role to himself with Gordon out against the Chiefs. Williams looked good and one would think it would be hard for Gordon to find snaps going forward, but the two have essentially split this season, so it's possible the two slide back into their roles if Gordon is back. It's something to monitor heading into Week 14.

Broncos RB Melvin Gordon (hip) is listed as doubtful for Week 13's game against the Kansas City Chiefs.

A tough loss for the Broncos, but bigger news for Williams. Look for the rookie to lead the Broncos backfield comfortably.

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

Related players: Zach Wilson, Josh Johnson

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.

Related players: Mike White, Joe Flacco

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.

Saints’ TE Adam Trautman suffered a sprained MCL during Sunday’s loss to the Eagles that is expected to sideline him 4-6 weeks, per source.

Related players: Juwan Johnson, Nick Vannett

Trautman was having a nice game before the injury, catching five balls for 58 yards and a TD. Vannett caught one ball for 20 yards and likely sees an increased role. Johnson is a name to watch as well, having a 2-36-0 line back on Nov. 14, with his best game a 3-21-2 line Sept. 12. He has three TDs total on the season but has never had more than three targets in a game this year.
