The Vikings officially signed Hale Hentges.

Hentges is being signed to Minnesota’s active roster from Indianapolis’ practice squad. The former Alabama tight end is not currently a recommended fantasy pickup, but he’ll provide depth for the Vikings in real life. Hentges had eight receptions for 103 yards and a touchdown for Washington as an undrafted rookie last season.

The Ravens have placed Dez Bryant on the reserve/COVID-19 list.

It’s always difficult to get a great idea about where players are in terms of game status with all the protocols in place this year (even with someone like Dez that has been live-tweeting the saga since Tuesday night), but Bryant will be out for Week 14 and possibly beyond. We hope he can make a full recovery and get back on the field soon as Baltimore competes for a playoff spot.

Christian McCaffrey (shoulder, quad) is not expected to play in Week 14.

This is according to Panthers head coach Matt Rhule. McCaffrey looks like a major long shot to play this Sunday against the Broncos, so make other plans for your lineup for the first week of the fantasy playoffs.

Mike Evans (hamstring) did not practice today.

This obviously isn’t a great sign this late in the week, and Evans’ status for this Sunday against the Vikings is now in question. We’ll see how Evans is listed on the final Week 14 injury report tomorrow.

Julio Jones (hamstring) did not practice today.

Jones is the type of player that doesn’t need much practice time (if any) to play on Sunday, but there’s some concern about his Week 14 status. We’ll let you know how Julio is listed on the final injury report of the week when it’s out tomorrow.

Denzel Mims (personal) won’t play in Week 14.

Mims left practice yesterday to deal with a family emergency in Texas, so he won’t be able to clear COVID-19 protocol to return by Sunday. The rookie wideout had been emerging since making his debut, and hopefully the Jets can get him back next week. Look for Jeff Smith and Braxton Berrios to see more snaps against Seattle this weekend.

Josh Jacobs (ankle) officially did not practice today.

This isn’t a great start to the practice week for Jacobs. After he was ruled out ahead of the weekend for Week 14, the second-year back might need to get on the practice field in at least a limited capacity tomorrow to have a good shot to play this Sunday.
