Ty Montgomery (ribs) is officially inactive for the Packers.

Montgomery was listed as doubtful and didn’t practice all week, so this was fully expected. Rookie Jamaal Williams will handle most of the backfield touches tonight against the Steelers.

Paxton Lynch (ankle) is done for the day.

Lynch’s ankle injury doesn’t appear too serious, but the team declared him out for the rest of the game against the Raiders. The second-year quarterback couldn’t get much of anything going against Oakland, going 9/14 for 41 yards and an interception while adding two carries for 20 yards on the ground. The interception came on a throw on the run to the end zone that looked like it could’ve been caught but was pinballed around and eventually landed in linebacker NaVorro Bowman’s lap. Trevor Siemian is now in the game with the Broncos down 21-0, and we’ll see how the quarterback situation is heading into Week 13.

Amari Cooper leaves game against the Broncos.

Late in the second quarter with the Raiders up 7-0, Cooper went up for a high pass from Derek Carr and lowered his head as the safety came to hit him, taking a bad hit to the head and neck area. He was down on the field and not really moving, but thankfully he started to show some movement before walking off under his own power to the locker room. Cooper’s day is almost certainly done, and he had one reception, nine yards, and a touchdown before leaving as he scored on a fade-type of route after he turned the corner around at the line of scrimmage and got wide open. Michael Crabtree (ejection) is also out of the game, so the Raiders will be without their top two receivers.

Luke Willson (concussion) is out for the rest of the game against the 49ers.

Willson didn’t have any receptions before leaving, and Nick Vannett could be in line for some more snaps. Hopefully Willson is feeling better soon.

Michael Crabtree gets ejected against the Broncos.

A fight just broke out early in the first quarter between the Broncos and Raiders, and it led to Raiders receiver Michael Crabtree, Raiders guard Gabe Jackson, and Broncos cornerback Aqib Talib all being ejected from the game. If you’ll remember in the teams’ final matchup last season, Talib yanked the gold chain from Crabtree during the game. Today, Crabtree attempted to return the favor in some way, blocking Talib and taking him out of bounds before finishing the block to the ground; then scrum broke out on the sideline and Talib eventually went to a helmet-less Crabtree and threw a punch, and Crabtree returned a punch of his own. Crabtree had no catches before leaving (we are not even five minutes into the game), so obviously this was less than ideal for fantasy owners.

Greg Olsen leaves first game back with a foot injury.

This obviously is not good. In his first game back from his broken foot, Olsen is now out for the game with a foot injury in what looks to be a re-aggravation of the initial injury. It’s not uncommon for a broken foot to linger like this apparently is, and it wouldn’t be surprising if Olsen was out for a while with this issue. Hopefully it’s just a bit of discomfort and the team is being cautious, though.

Emmanuel Sanders (ankle) is active against the Raiders.

Sanders was listed as questionable coming in, but he’ll be out there for the Week 12 game. However, Paxton Lynch is making his first start of the season and Sanders hasn’t had a ton of success against Oakland over his last few games, so he doesn’t have a very high floor in fantasy lineups for this matchup.
