The Broncos activated Drew Lock from the reserve/COVID-19 list.

Brett Rypien and Blake Bortles were also activated from Denver, as they were just close contacts and did not test positive for the virus. Theoretically, they potentially could have played last Sunday against the Saints if the Broncos did not self-report themselves to the NFL for distancing/mask violations, but that’s how it’s gone with the NFL this season. Lock’s return will obviously be a boost for the Denver offense.

The Falcons placed Olamide Zaccheaus (toe) on injured reserve.

Zaccheaus will now miss at least the next three games while on injured reserve, and it’s possible his season is over with just five games remaining for Atlanta. The Falcons will lose another deep threat element with Zaccheaus out of the lineup.

The Falcons activated Laquan Treadwell from the reserve/COVID-19 list.

Treadwell has also been added to the 53-man roster, so the former first-round pick could get a nice opportunity here down the stretch. Treadwell is not a highly recommended fantasy pickup in redraft leagues, but hopefully he can stay healthy and produce for the Falcons.

Marquez Callaway suffered a minor knee sprain.

The undrafted rookie receiver might miss time with the injury, but NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero says it’s “good news overall” for Callaway. Callaway is on the dynasty radar only for now and is not a recommended pickup in redraft leagues.

Mark Ingram (COVID-19) can play in Week 12.

The NFL’s third postponement of the Ravens-Steelers game is allowing Ingram and teammate J.K. Dobbins to play, beefing up the Baltimore backfield for a key divisional matchup. Gus Edwards goes from promising potential volume play to a shaky FLEX option.

J.K. Dobbins will be eligible to play on Wednesday.

The Ravens continued to push the game against the Steelers to get pushed further back, and the move to Wednesday will allow Dobbins and Mark Ingram to play after getting enough time for clearance from positive COVID-19 tests. Baltimore has lucked out recently with the league catering to them, and this is another boost.

The Broncos are signing Kyle Shurmur.

This is a cool story, as Shurmur will join his dad and Broncos offensive coordinator Pat Shurmur in Denver. The Broncos are totally decimated at quarterback due to COVID-19 protocols, and Shurmur could quickly be thrust into action for Week 13 if Drew Lock and others are not cleared. You can bet the Shurmurs will be working closely together to ensure that Kyle has a relatively good grasp of the Broncos offense quickly.
