Vikings coach Mike Zimmer calls RB Dalvin Cook "day-to-day" with a shoulder injury. Says he doesn't have a torn labrum, which had been reported. Wouldn't say if he dislocated his shoulder or not. Won't rule him out yet for Sunday vs. Detroit.

There was a lot of news on Cook today. Ian Rapoport was among those to report Cook dislocated his shoulder and caused a torn labrum in Week 12 against the 49ers. He also reported Cook has been playing with a torn labrum in his other shoulder. While much of what Zimmer said was evasive, one thing to note that he did say was Cook doesn't have a torn labrum. We'll continue to update Cook's status, but in the meantime, pick up Mattison if he's on your wire.

Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts had a rough game against the Giants on Sunday and he got dinged while throwing three interceptions in the 13-7 loss at MetLife Stadium.

Head coach Nick Sirianni told reporters on Monday that Hurts has a sore ankle while running through the injuries from Sunday’s game.

Sirianni was asked if Hurts will be able to play against the Jets when the Eagles return to New Jersey in Week 13, and he said that he is hopeful, but that the team would have a better idea after Hurts receives treatment in the coming days, the story went on to say. Don't look now, but Minshew is the Eagles QB2 and would get the start if Hurts can't go.

An ankle injury suffered in Sunday's loss at Miami will cost Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey the rest of the season.

An MRI Monday morning revealed an injury severe enough to place him on injured reserve. Because of the time it would take to recover, and because it will be his second time on injured reserve this season, the news means McCaffrey will miss out on the Panthers' final five regular season games after the bye week.

It was reported earlier today that McCaffrey's ankle injury wasn't that serious and he could return after the bye week, but the MRI changed the mind of the team. It's certainly not a surprise as McCaffrey has found it hard to stay on the field this year. With the team in a freefall and the season winding down, there wasn't much incentive to bringing McCaffrey back after another injury even if he was healthy. Hubbard will now take over as the team's lead back and has flashed earlier this season as the RB1.

Rapoport reported earlier that Cook was already playing with a torn labrum in his other shoulder. The good news, according to the tweet, is the ailment is not season-ending. The hope is this is like 2019, when the team rests Cook a few games to have him healthy for a playoff run. If that's the case, Mattison will take over as the team's RB1 for any games Cook misses. If he's somehow made it back to your waiver wire, Mattison is a must-add.

Cook will get an MRI on his recently injured shoulder to see what kind of damage, if any, the dislocated shoulder caused. Rapoport said he's been playing with a torn labrum on the other side. But dislocated shoulders can often cause damage to the labrum, according to the video, so he could be dealing with issues to both shoulders at this point. Mattison is a must-own as a handcuff for Cook and will get a bulk of the time if Cook is out again.

Fingers crossed Marshall's concussion does not linger much longer as we have seen with fellow rookie wideout D'Wayne Eskridge.

If the Eagles continue on this trajectory, then I believe we’ll see Gardner Minshew start this season. And that’s not necessarily to form a better evaluation of Minshew, but it could also help form an evaluation of HC Nick Sirianni. If the Eagles offense remains inconsistent (and inefficient) and the team continues losing games, how much of a sample size would one need to know that that the Sirianni-Jalen Hurts combination isn’t working? Twelve games, 14 games? If that were to happen, it would behoove Sirianni to see if the offense looks different with a different quarterback — one who is a 62.9 percent passer during the past two seasons.

The writer doesn't seem to feel that strongly it will happen, and of course, it's just one opinion. This season is more about Hurts and he feels Hurts should have a long leash when it comes to being the starter. But the offense has not looked good and when the team is maybe officially out of playoff competition, then a change to Minshew might make some sense - just to see how the offense functions with someone else.

The Eagles agreed to trade Flacco to the Jets today, according to Mike Garafolo of NFL Network. The Eagles will get a sixth-round draft pick that can become a fifth-round pick depending on Flacco’s playing time, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.

Flacco could very well end up starting, especially if Wilson has to miss four weeks. White may get at least one more chance this week until Flacco can get up to speed, but many feel the Jets have needed a veteran influence around Wilson all along. Minshew is now back on the fantasy radar as the backup to Hurts, who has not exactly looked great so far this season. It may not be all that big of a surprise to see Minshew get some time at some point this season.

The Panthers are thin at wide receiver as Alex Erickson and Shi Smith will look to get into three-wide sets Week 7.
