Browns TE Austin Hooper did not practice Friday due to a neck injury, according to the team's official injury report.

Never a good sign to see a starter added to the injury report with one practice left in the week. If Hooper were to miss Monday's game, Harrison Bryant and David Njoku would split time.

Washington Football Team RB Antonio Gibson will not play Sunday against the San Francisco 49ers, according to Ben Standig of The Athletic.

It's J.D. McKissic and Peyton Barber time! McKissic has had PPR value for majority of the past six weeks, while Barber is a low floor back who could fall into goal line carries and touchdowns.

Washington running back Antonio Gibson has been diagnosed with turf toe and is considered doubtful to play in Week 14.

The report notes that the team will continue to evaluate Gibson as the week goes on, but turf toe can be a nagging injury and it would be surprising if Gibson was able to shake it off over the course of one week. Without Gibson in the lineup, Washington would turn to Peyton Barber on early downs with J.D. McKissic getting additional looks in the passing game.

Antonio Gibson suffered a toe injury on his second carry and limped off the field. The team later termed him doubtful to return.

Many who follow the team say on Twitter Gibson likely won't be back tonight as he was spotted on the sideline with a bad limp. With a toe injury to a running back, it's possible Gibson's status for Week 14 is going to be in serious doubt, too. It's a potential big blow to fantasy owners heading into the fantasy playoffs.

Philip Rivers said after the game that he hurt himself while throwing a block during a run by wide receiver DeMichael Harris. The injury was to his big toe and the veteran said he has never dealt with a similar injury.

Rivers didn't miss a snap last week after the injury. Head coach Frank Reich said the team “will just have to see” how Rivers feels as the week goes on. As the story said, it's a good bet Rivers will feel well enough to play against the Titans on Sunday. Rivers has started 234 straight regular season games and 245 straight games overall.

49ers coach Kyle Shanahan said he is hopeful that Tevin Coleman, Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles, Deebo Samuel, Raheem Mostert, Richard Sherman will all be available to play against the Rams on Nov. 29.

Mostert should slide right back in to the main back role when he returns with McKinnon and Coleman as the change of pace, third down backs. Meanwhile at WR, Samuel should return as the team's WR1 and will push Aiyuk, James and Bourne down the depth chart.
