Jonnu Smith (knee) has been ruled out for Week 13.

Smith didn’t practice all week, so this isn’t a surprise. The dynamic tight end hasn’t been highly productive lately, and his knee has likely been limiting him. Hopefully he’s back and close to full strength soon.

Daniel Jones (hamstring) is officially listed as doubtful for Week 13.

The Giants are giving Jones a slight change to play against the Seahawks on Sunday, but it’s not likely. Colt McCoy is set to start for a Giants team looking to keep pace in the struggling NFC East.

D.J. Chark is off the Week 13 injury report.

Chark missed last week with his rib injury, but he’s back for this Sunday against the Vikings. Chark has upside against an inexperienced Vikings cornerback group for Week 13.

Salvon Ahmed (shoulder) is doubtful for Week 13.

Miami hopes to get Myles Gaskin (knee) back this Sunday, but Ahmed looks like he will be out again with his shoulder injury. Ahmed does not need to be held in redraft leagues.

Phillip Lindsay (knee) is expected to play on Sunday night.

Lindsay left last week’s game early with his knee issue, but it’s unlikely to hold him out against the Week 13 matchup against the Chiefs. Lindsay’s explosive ability puts him in the FLEX mix this week.

D’Andre Swift is no longer in the concussion protocol.

However, he remains out of practice (listed as illness that isn’t related to COVID-19), and teammate Adrian Peterson saying the rookie “hasn’t been himself” since the injury is certainly something to be concerned about. Hopefully we get an answer about Swift one way or another based on his Friday participation, but it wouldn’t be a surprise if Detroit—at 4-7 heading into a tough matchup versus Chicago’s stout run defense—held him out again this weekend.

The NFL is reinstating Josh Gordon, according to FOX’s Jay Glazer.

Gordon will be eligible to return in Week 16 for the final two games of the regular season, and Seattle will then obviously have him for the playoffs as a dangerous option behind D.K. Metcalf and Tyler Lockett. In redraft leagues, Gordon isn’t a must-add with so little time to get back into the swing of things, but hopefully the former All-Pro—who will turn 30 next spring—can stay on a clear path for his professional and personal future.
