The Cleveland Browns and TE David Njoku have agreed to a 4-year extension.

Related Player: Harrison Bryant

The new contract makes Njoku the fifth-highest paid tight end in the NFL. Not bad work if you can get it. This deal also signals that Njoku is the TE1 in Cleveland and will leaned on as the team adjusts with an essentially new passing group. Cleveland's confidence in Njoku gives his re-draft and dynasty stocks a boost.

The Cleveland Browns are releasing TE Austin Hooper as a post-June-1 designation.

The writing was on the wall once Njoku was franchise tagged. Hooper earned his deal after a monster year with the Falcons and will now be looking to join a team that needs a tight end.

Patriots RB Damien Harris (hamstring) and WR Jakobi Meyers (thigh) are questionable for Saturday's Super Wild Card game against the Buffalo Bills.

Related Player: Rhamondre Stevenson

Both are expected to play, so take these designations at face value.

Patriots RB Damien Harris (hamstring) and WR Jakobi Meyers (thigh) were limited at Wednesday's practice.

This has been a recurring theme for the two over past weeks. As long as either do not log a DNP the next two days, expect both to play against the Bills.

Patriots RB Damien Harris (hamstring) and WR Jakobi Meyers (thigh) are questionable for Week 18 against the Miami Dolphins.

Harris could miss this week with Rhamondre Stevenson healthy and the playoffs looming. Meyers, if active, would give the Patriots their first game with a healthy wide receiver trio in a month.

The Carolina Panthers have placed WR Terrace Marshall Jr. on IR, ending his season.

A disappointing rookie campaign for Marshall, who will look to compete for the WR3 role in Carolina next season.

Patriots RB Damien Harris (hamstring) and WR Jakobi Meyers (thigh) are questionable for Week 17, while Nelson Agholor (concussion) will not play against the Jacksonville Jaguars this week.

Expect Meyers and Harris to play and be useful enough as secondary options. Harris has a chance to be an RB1 against the Jaguars at his ceiling.

Jalen Hurts is set to start at quarterback against Washington on Tuesday night.

Hurts did not play in Week 13 because of an ankle injury and was limited in practice early last week.

But as the story said, he began working in full as the week went on and the two extra days to prepare for the game leave him on track to play. The Eagles did not give Hurts any injury designation for the game.

Eagles QB Jalen Hurts (ankle) and RBs Miles Sanders (ankle) and Jordan Howard (knee) were limited participants Wednesday.

It's all a mess for Philly coming out of their bye. Friday's final injury report will have the best idea of how to tackle the Eagles offense.

Viking put RB Alexander Mattison and WR Dan Chisena on COVID-19 reserve list, guard Kyle Hinton on practice squad COVID-19 list and LB Ryan Connelly goes to IR.

Related players: Dalvin Cook, Wayne Gallman, Kene Nwangwu, C.J. Ham

The Viking claimed RB Gallman off waivers in another move. Gallman likely at least slides in behind Cook and Nwangwu. Cook was dominant last week coming back from a shoulder injury but has dealt with his share of injuries this year and in his career, so his handcuff any given week is always worth noting.
