Mike Tomlin said if QB Kenny Pickett (concussion protocol) is "able to work, we'll work him. If not, we'll get Mitch Trubisky and Mason Rudolph ready." He said when dealing with concussion protocol, you take it day-to-day.

Don't expect the Steelers to rush back Pickett to the field as he's dealing with his second concussion this season. Trubisky would likely draw the start if Pickett can't go. The Steelers are at the Panthers in Week 15.

Bengals WR Tyler Boyd could miss a week or two after dislocating a finger on his right hand in Sunday's win over the Browns, but it shouldn't be an extended absence, per source. Healing, and pain tolerance will dictate when he returns.

Related Players: Trenton Irwin, Trent Taylor

The two Trents seemed to be the biggest beneficiaries of Tyler Boyd's early exit but Tee Higgins also logged a single snap, so it's hard to tell exactly who was filling in for who. Either way, Boyd can be safely dropped if he's still on your fantasy roster.

Bengals RB Joe Mixon (concussion) and WR Tee Higgins (hamstring) are off the injury report and good to go Sunday against the Browns. TE Hayden Hurst (calf) is out.

Related Players: Ja'Marr Chase, Tyler Boyd

Higgins can safely be fired up as a WR2 option while Ja'Marr Chase remains a fantasy WR1 regardless of the health of his teammates. Tyler Boyd can be plugged in as a Flex option, though his floor is closer to a fantasy WR4.

Titans wide receiver Treylon Burks is being evaluated for a concussion.

Burks took a very hard hit in the end zone after catching a touchdown pass but was able to walk off the field after being down on the field for a while and being checked by trainers. He was somehow able to hang on to the ball for the score. Hopefully, Burks will be ok.

Bears listed QB Justin Fields as a full participant during today’s practice.

Siemian sadly travels to the bench, leaving us with a QB1 opportunity for Fields against the Green Bay Packers in Week 13.

The Bengals have won three in a row and reinforcements are on the way. Source says the plan is for star WR Ja’Marr Chase (hip) to return this week. He was close last week and is expected to go this week vs. the Chiefs.

Related Players: Tee Higgins, Tyler Boyd, Trenton Irwin

Higgins has made the most of his WR1 role, particularly these last two weeks when he went 16-262-1. Chase can plug right back into a fantasy WR1, while Higgins can operate as a fringe top-12 option in a possible shootout against the Chiefs.

Bears QB Justin Fields suffered a left shoulder dislocation, sources say.

Rapoport said it was a painful injury he somehow played through this past Sunday. Rapoport went on to say in his tweet that coach Matt Eberflus described Fields as “day-to-day.” His status for this Sunday is still to be determined. Rapoport also added this explains why Eberflus described Fields as day-to-day, but also did not out rule a season-ending situation as worst-case.

Jerry Jones on 1053thefan on Ezekiel Elliott (knee): “We are a better team when we’ve got him and got him available. Defenses are well aware, more than anybody of his impact and his availability. I’m glad to have him back, and it does look like he’s gonna be available (Sunday).”

Related Players: Tony Pollard

From the main man himself, it looks like Zeke will be available and, presumably, on the field for Sunday's action against the Vikings. The struggle continues for Tony Pollard managers, and neither can be considered an RB1 play if they're both on the field.
